YouTube - Roger Federer Between The Legs - US Open 2010

That was one ***y shot, even better than the one against Djokovic last year.

Rodger played like his former self all match but after that shot I'm now inclined to watch his 2nd round match even more closely. If he plays like he did tonight, then I'll be confident in cashing in that $20 bet I made for him to win the Open. I like his chances more so than the other two I was contemplating: Murray and Djoker.

Had the match on in the background when that happened, talk about class.

TBF, it's easy to pull out the trick shots against Brian Dabul. I thought he missed a few too many forehands and simple volleys. Liked his serving, though.

For Indian tennis fans, Somdev Devvarman lost to Kevin Anderson.

Sania Mirza won against De Brito.

How is Fernando Verdasco still in the top 8 despite having done **** all in a very long time, BTW?

The cornerstone of tennis. Keep this solid and everything else falls into place.

To do it again at the same tournament 12 months later is ridiculous.

The man's freakish talents have no limits.

Hasn't played since the Australian Open, I think.

One thinks this is the end of the road for Fernando Gonzalez

 

[blahblahblah]

Since only one of them is playing now, i expect either of Davenport or Clijsters to beat her if the injuries don't interfere.

davenport back to play ?

He had an amazing clay court season. Earned him enough points to stay near the top.

Yeah, he did very well on clay this year.

 

[shivfan]

Venus advances to the next round as well....

Even Baltacha won her match!

When does Dustin Brown play?

 

[Jono]

Yeah, he did very well on clay this year.

Was awesome to watch when he was on.

Too bad he burnt himself out by the time the French Open came around
