You know Fabio&Flavia are , don't you?
It's Flavia's fault Bernardes is not umpiring Nadal any more...

Now that's a very tough question!
Yes, I'll definitely want to watch this women's final.
I reckon Flavia the title.
She's made a man of that Fabio Fognini headcase boyfriend of hers this year, too, love moves mountains!!!
But so has Vinci... tough to pick

I feel Stan won't have the accuracy on his bh tonight mainly because he'll still be overwhelmed that he finally beat Anderson.
I have no "feeling" about tonight's matches, Nole and Fed should go through, but anything can happen tonight after what Vinci did!
What are the odds, though?

I like them both, really don't have a preference.
Both are nice, fiery characters and fair players.
Vinci did the hard work, but...
This reminds me of RG11 a bit when Rog took out red-hot Nole and gave Nadal another RG...

I didn't know it, now it makes a real sense. There is always a man behind everything
How could Flavia affect Bernardes to not umpire Nadal, that sounds a bit fairytailish. If yes, then there is a women behind everything. Or vice versa, not sure

Umpires should speak Italian the whole weekend for an honour for saving current tennis by F&F, such a blessed couple. THANKS!

I'm torn on who I want to win from Stan and Fed Stan can possibly go ahead of Murray in slams which his talent deserves but Fed if he's learnt from the past could get 18

Yes, shame one has to lose, but no brainer for me - Maestro!
His BH has just weaved some true beauty in NY this year.
Stupid to say, but brings the lump in my throat every time is leaves his racquet...the fineness of it is just to sigh for...hard to describe it with prose, it will have to be poetry, I'll get round to it one day!

I still can't understand what an idiot introduced playing mix doubles on that level. These should be played only as exhibitions, it is sheer comedy.

I also play mixed ones myself, but most of them is rather fun or relax. Of course it is good for women, they improve their game a lot, but not for us, men, on the contrary Maybe if we had more good women, then I would prefer playing rather with women, for sure

I think mixed doubles offer a very nice balance, women can equal men in touch and volleying.

Re: US open prediction game! Day 12!
You are bloody right, but it is only when the couples have equal qualities. If a man on opposite side is too weak, then he runs quite a lot. I don't usually play through women unless I lose a control of the match or it is a kind of revengenoleisthebest wrote:paulcz wrote:noleisthebest wrote:Paes-Higins were fantastic in Wimbledon.

Re: US open prediction game! Day 12!
I actually like to be treated as "equal", only two things should be off chart: body serve and body volleying.

I played some tourney in mixed doubles and can clearly say that the most efficient tactics from many players was to play the biggest voley at a women at the net soon. Then very often their game level slumped and they were hardly able to hit any volley.
Looking forward to seeing Nole, I am very curious about his game conception. I dont expect anything passive from him.

But they never are...as you said, it improves our game, so I learnt not to bother volleying them, just blocking, sheer survival instinct!

Interview with players in the tunnel, Cilic looks unbelievably relaxed!
Nole - totally revved up and edgy - total opposite, like it!

Nole is pumped up as an energizer, he will strip Marin like a screw
Very curious about Nole today.

Marin's move on serve is quite herky-jerky. Although he looks a bit clumsy, his serve is superb.

Nole looks enugh sharp, a good position on return, a bit longer behind BL and 3 BP. 1 is enough

Some luck with Nole and already breaks the serve. He would need to loose his body a bit. He looks stiff

Volleying is going to come later. I appreciate watching a point construction, players positioning, game patterns and tactics.

Re: US open prediction game! Day 12!
On Weds I played a surrey leagues doubes match and one the opponent was saying the opposite. He thought Murray was a much better player and it woudl be unfair if Stan were to overtake Murray in slams count.AceofDeath wrote:I'm torn on who I want to win from Stan and Fed Stan can possibly go ahead of Murray in slams which his talent deserves but Fed if he's learnt from the past could get 18

Cilic is a broken man. Quite pathetic how he suddenly can't serve a first serve. The few shots he hits well are easily returned by the rubberband man. I don't know why folks are complaining about his stiffness, he already brought balls back even peak Nadal wouldn't have.

Playing just by instincts does not work. All attackers have a clearer head when their intention is simple. The first baggel for Marin.

Cilic needs his serve and play the 1-2 tennis.
He is just conservative.
What's he got to lose after that first set bagel?
