agassi seems to have lost a step. i would like for him to win it but i think roddick has a good chance as well. i just can't pick federer. he is awsome but i just don't like guy. i guess that is as good as a reason as any not to cheer for him. :spin

Be realistic now..
Agassi won't win it.

I think the final will be between Federer and Nadal and Federer will win a close match.

Yeah, agassi has made a good comeback this year but you'all are right, Nadal, Roddick, or Federer have more realistic chances of winning it.
Horry For 3!

I rarely watch Tennis but my guess would be Federer to win it all.

I would have to say Federer is the favorite even though I hate him. I think Nadal has the best chance of knocking him off though. Roddick has no chance in beating Federer though because Federer owns Roddick.

Hard surface sucks, how long until the clay season comes back?
And no, this has nothing to do with Argentinean players being claycourters :lol
Seriously, can anyone stop Federer? Certainly not Andy Roddick, poor guy I feel sorry for him, he keeps losing with the Swiss again and again.
If Federer is eliminated in an early stage for some strange reason, then my money would be on Safin (if his head is ok). Underdog bets: Nadal, Nalbandian, Chela.

I don't see how anyone could think that anyone but Federer is going to win it at this point. Unless he tanks it, like the Olympics.

I agree that clay court season is more fun to watch. I loved the way Nadal destroyed everyone on that surface.

Roger Federer will win the mens draw there's nobody that could possibly challenge him this point..unless you get Sampras in his prime out there again, Roddick is his bitch and can never beat him.

Nadal beat Federer the last time they played and should've beaten the time before that. He was up 2 sets to Federer but Federer wore Nadal down.

It's either Federer or Nadal. Roddick isn't as good as he was last year at this time so I wouldn't give him the same chance as those 2.
mavsfan1000
08-29-2005, 12:37 PM
No it doesn't. It is the only thing I am interested in at this time of the year. I don't care too much for football and baseball sucks so tennis is the best option. :pctoss

I have to agree, but Agassi has lost alot of power compare to the newer players, believe me I LOVE Agassi always have, but Federer does have superior swings, certainly his serve, Agassi has lost that and sadly I think he will lose the whole shabang. I HOPE Roddick doesnt win, the man has skill yes but he leans way to much on certain swings not his whole game.

OH man i totally miss Martini Hingis she was a fine bitch

Federer might pull it out, he has stepped up. but Nadal has a well rounded game all of a sudden.
Clijsters is definitely the favorite on the women's side. She made Henin look like a child . If she keeps up the great play, she's the one to beat.
she has a great opportunity to win the us open, but take into it also that some of the other players havent played much...sharapova, davenport, the williams sisters....
roddick actually has a good chance of winning the us open, just not if roger's still in it
beating hewitt deff is a confidence boost, but he should avoid the serve and volley approach against roger
instead he should focus on serving over 135 but place it all over the box, and attack the federer backhand w/ a kick serve, and keep attacking that backhand, and then go to his forehand every so often
roddick deff has the weapons to win the us open, he just needs to figure out how to think before he plays the big points

You have one of the most beautiful tennis players ever in Maria Sharapova. Aw, I just said her name and now I'm thinking of her and I don't know what I was talking about. :spin :oops

you and every man and the selected women would too

I predict Nadal will beat Federer. That might be a shocker but I think Nadal's baseline game is incredible. Nobody beats Nadal from the baseline. You have to attack him and even than he is the fastest player out there to get it. The only advantage Federer has over Nadal is the serve which could be a big advantage if Federer beats Nadal.
what about the women, there is some competition there too

Yeah I think it will go to Davenport or Clijsters. Serena is out of shape and Venus has struggled on every surface except grass.

yea i agree, Clijester is who i want to take it. she has amazing skill, if you read what i wrote on the first page. All I am worried about is she chokes. she has not won major titles like davenport.
Serena and Venus are out of shape, they hafvent played as many tounies as they usually do. getting a little big headed i guess. To busy with their new "reality' show. GAY

I know. I enjoy them playing the most on the women's tour but it frustrates me that they aren't giving 100% to being their best for the tournaments.

He lost? I figured it was a lock he would win. He has been a disappointed ever since last years US Open. The guy is lazy and I noticed that before now. Brad Gilbert got him motivated but he got on Roddick's nerves after a while. Gilbert is the best coach and Roddick fired him. That shows Roddick's dedication to being the best. It isn't there.

I do give a damn so this thread is worth it than. If you watched the game more you would like it to. It is a fun game.

It is more then a fun game it is strategic, entertaining, you have to know your opponents game, your own game, you have to know so much to be where they are right now. The more you watch it, certainly if you played the game alot, you start to respect it cause of what all goes into it. It is amazing

I cant believe frederer is out, I just cant believe it. He just couldnt close it out, 2 tie breakers lost and then he couldnt get his serve in. SAD
Federer out?
He plays Nicolas Kiefer tomorrow.

Can you forsee the future? :wtf
So far the Sanguinetti vs. Srichaphan was the game of the tournament, and maybe of the year. 5 sets, 3 tiebreaks, 4 hours 20 minutes of play, and both players giving their best, what a match.

Did anyone catch Venus/Serena 15 a few days ago?
What a dissapointment. Serena was injured, you could tell her game was wayyy outta whack. I still slightly believe in the theory of Venus and Serena drawing straws to see who wins which major tournament.

Venus was dominating Serena. I do like Serena more, but she realy hs not played that much at all, becaue she has been injured. so, serena took advantage of that. if you were in the us open wouldnt you do the same?
if it wouldnt have been venus it would have just been someone else.

I miss Martina too!!! She was a bad ass! She was my favorite women's tennis player ever. I'll tell you who I can't stand are those SheMEN Venus and Serena. I think Serena should play in the men's circuit, her body is about as close as you can come to a guy's. I feel bad for Taylor Dent. Poor guy is 0-8 with top seeded players. I say Federer and Sharapova come away with wins for the title. GO MARIA!

They are strong but they are still feminine. Mauresmo was the she man. I never like Hingis though. She was a bitch.

damn Clijsters has improved over the past 3 or so years. she fucking RULED venus tonight. Perhaps the gap between the Williams sisters and the World is closing. Just wait til my girl Serena gets back to 100% though.

09-07-2005, 03:23 AM
Sharapova has also improved like no other
i could not believe she was the no. 1 seed! She played like it tonight though....womens tennis is at a peak right now
theres ALOT of talent these days
... its not that clijsters has improved or anything... the girl was number 1 in the world several years ago. she has just been really unlucky with injuries and stuff
martina hingis is a fine chick! too bad she chickened out of competitive tennis...
the tennis world needs her...
clijester is awesome, she is in the top 10 of the world and she doesnt have a grand slam under her belt. it is her time to shine, she deserves it. Venus wasnt up to her game either, they havent barely played this year.
clijester vs sharapova is going to be an amazing match. two women who, this year alone, have mastered their talent. Clijester, I believe, will take it. She is in top-shape, so is Sharapova, but did ya'll see the flexibility and dedication in todays game it was amazing.

rankings aside, i've seen her injury less get rocked in some tournaments...im not a very astute tennis fan so i couldn't tell you which year/tournament, but i used to watch for like 2 or 3 years straight, and have only been watching results for hte past year and a half or so

Agassi beats Blake in an incredible match that ended in a tie-breaker. One of the greatest matches I've ever seen. Agassi was down 2 sets before he made his comeback.

i attended a class etc etc and i got hooked up on a basketball game...

That was definetly one of the best matches I have ever seen. It reminded me of tennis back in the day when you had guys like Connors,McEnroe,Lendel,Borg,Becker etc etc. You used to see great compelling matchups all the time, where as now there doesn't seem to be that great level of competition.

Hingis had/has some kind of degenerative injury in her ankles I think that caused her to retire.
