Monaco is playing horribly...crowd stayed for Federer obviously, but I'm sure they'd appreciate some degree of competition.

Edit: or less. Federer wins the first set 6-1 in 19 minutes.

What a mug... 35th in the world and plays like that!?

Anybody know where I can watch it online? I had to reduce my cable package and no longer get TSN. I can't seem to find a live feed on TSN.ca either.

Looks like the USTA is streaming the action for free: http://www.usopen.org/en_US/interact...tml?promo=home

Stupid freaking rain.

GirlySports · 09-07-2011, 06:15 PM

Players are pissed. USTA wants the tournament to end on Sunday (CBS of course) and will send the player out even if it's wet and even if they have to play 4 days in a row or twice a day.

I though they were going to get the men done today...or is that a no-go too?

GirlySports · 09-07-2011, 06:33 PM

the whole day has been washed out.
If Nadal or Murray want to win this thing, they will have to plays 4 days straight if there's no more rain. The women will have play 3 days straight.

Amusing watching Roddick lose his sh*t on tournament officials again, then march them off Ashe to Court 13 because he didn't like the condition of the main court.

Resolute 14 · 09-08-2011, 05:15 PM

And damn... the players are so pissed at how the officials have handled these rain delays that they are talking about unionizing so they can gain a bigger voice in matters.

GirlySports · 09-08-2011, 05:27 PM

It's pretty ridiculous when the entire event is dependent on when CBS can show games to avoid football and the stadium doesn't have a roof.

Men have to play back to back on Saturday and Sunday when everything is on schedule let alone when it rains. Nadal, Murray, Isner and Roddick won today. If they want to win it all, they have to play 4 days in a row.

Going to be a good quarterfinal tonight. Federer against Tsonga starting now.

Resolute 14 · 09-08-2011, 05:40 PM

No they won't. The men's final was moved to Monday (at 4ET... grrr)

really? cool

At 4ET (to avoid monday night football)

GirlySports · 09-08-2011, 06:16 PM

rain again.. they should just get rid of this event.

make it the China Open or something. They can build a stadium with a roof tomorrow!

Machiavelli · 09-08-2011, 07:27 PM

So they finish the men's quarters tomorrow, delay the semis to Saturday, why couldn't they do finals on Sunday?

Their website is so confusing....doesn't look like the information is complete.

Roddick was indeed being, well, kind of a dick. I've always liked him and obviously understand his concern about safety, but I think he could have handled that situation a lot better. He came across as pretty petulant.

And it looks like Federer and Tsonga are back.

Mango · 09-08-2011, 09:36 PM

Federer disposed of Tsonga pretty easily tonight, but I thought Tsonga looked a step behind for most of the match.

He was but the organizers, being idiots, were forcing him to play on Armstrong, then told him to go into the locker room until it was fixed, then and hour later they called him back and it still wasn't fixed. They should have just sent him to Court 13 the first time like he had requested.

He had to make a stand... the correct one.

I hope Murray continues doing well and wins this match.

I should get home in time to see some of the Nadal/Roddick match.

Go Rafa!!

I absolutely hate Roddick, I'm worried about Rafa's chances in this match however.
