Mens US Open Championship

Anyone watching this today? First set went almost an hour and a half. Windy which makes it more about strategy then power. Murray wins the first

[stonedstooge]

Murray breaks again. He's just spanking the shit out of the ball this set. Serving for the match up 5-2

[stonedstooge]

5 hours of a grueling match and Andy Murray wins it. 7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2

'bout time that kid got his first Grand Slam.

It has always been mental issues with him, he obviously has the talent.

He really came back and spanked Djokovic in the 5th. Pretty amazing since he got hammered in sets 3 and 4.

What an awesome match. That 54 hit point was insane.

Murray finally got his head on straight. He gets so down on himself out there its actually hard to support him. That being said I am happy for him and I usually root against Djokovic anyway, even though over the years he has matured as well. Too bad my boy Fed couldn't get by Byrdych. Dissapointing first week, great second week for the Open this year.

I really thought Federer was done after last year. He may be the most amazing tennis player I've seen over the years. Borg may be comparable, but he retired at such a young age.

I started getting into tennis around 2001, so I can't really compare him to anyone besides the current people except maybe Agassi and late aged Pete.

I am usually a big underdog guy, but I love Federer. Especially since he has gotten to the point where Nadal and Novak are supposed to beat him.

As much as i hate murray, and i do HATE him, for his constant whining on the courts and his "come on"s when the opposing player makes unforced errors, im happy for him.

He wojt have a djokovic breakthrough and start winning gramdslams or become an all time great, but hes always been talented enough to get at least one.

I cant wait for nadals return

The "come on" every 2 seconds is annoying and I hate when players complain. Whether it be about a call, fan movement, or whatever. The only thing I side with them on is when people call out during the middle of their serve.

He does have 5 finals and an Olympic gold. Im not so sure he is going to stop at 1. He has a great return game. Who knows with Nadal's knee. He goes so hard, which is honorable, but Nadal is certainly not going to have a Federer tennis lifespan.

For the sake of U.S. tennis, until the teens are ready, Isner better grow up and toughen up. He complains as much as Murray but just feels bad for himself. No adjustments in his game ever.
