US Open 2014

[lokisapocalypse]

I really like that the US Open shows all their matches online for free. I wish the other slams would adopt this.

I was taking care of a sick child yesterday so I didn't get to see much but nothing really eventful happened.

Venus won which is saying something these days.

Wozniaki continued to mourn the loss of McIlroy and almost got beat (and probably would have if her opponent hadn't retired)

Sharapova wrecked Kirilenko in a match I thought would be closer than what it was.

For the small % that don't know, you might want to change the tittle to US Open Tennis 2014.

A link for those who want to watch Freshman Noah Rubin today. 2nd match on Court 13. 1st up on 13 is a women's singles match starting at 11:00.

the fourth set of murray-haase was one of the stranger things i've seen in a tennis match in a while.

 

[deacs1995]

delbonis favored +5.

 

[For Deac's Sake]

Pretty good read on the death of the one-handed backhand: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/24/magazine/the-death-of-the-one-handed-backhand.html

delbonis favored +5.

What does this mean?

 

[deacs1995]

who is the giron guy playing isner? i've never heard of this American

Rubin just dropped his second set. Not looking good for him.

 

[qcdeac]

I think it means he is expected to win 5 more games than Rubin.

Thanks. I assumed the standard tennis bet would be in money line format.

ETA: Rubin down 3-0 in the 3rd. US Open website/streaming is great.

Pretty sure he was playing in the W-S Open last week.

Rubin lost in straight sets. The last set wasn't even close.

15 year old American Cici Bellis just took down the 12 seed in the women's draw

I love watching good tennis. But sorry, Sharapova and her noises are flat-out intolerable.

Agree. I sometimes have to push her face into the pillow.

MAROON 5 singer ADAM LEVINE ditched MARIA SHARAPOVA because she is a "terrible lover" who refused to move or moan during sex. The pair dated briefly in 2005, after meeting at the Russian Wimbledon champion's 18th birthday party - but their romance soon fell cold. Levine tells Russian magazine Exile, "She wouldn't make any noise during sex. "I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she'd be the loud screaming type. But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it 'ruined her concentration.' It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil (an antidepressant) for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny."

Biff obviously is better in the sack than Adam Levine.

Well, duh.
