US Open Thread

at what you're implying.

I'm not making this up. Look up the stats and look up some pictures.

He served wayyyyy harder at Wimbledon than any other time in the year. You can get stats from the websites.

At Wimbledon, people couldn't return his serve (cuz it was consistently 120mph+ with sooo much spin on top of that). The rest of the year his serve is garbage.

The ball skids off the grass at Wimbledon, like it won't at the US Open on the Hard Courts. The true great servers have always excelled at the open because the ball won't skid unless it hits the lines. If your serve is mediocre, it will show up at the Open.

I'm not saying you made it up, but stating facts is one thing. Subtly implying something illegal is another.

Gotta give it up to Federer for pulling this grand slam win after the year he's been through. Hope this would help jumpstarting next year for him. As for Nadal, he better slow down with his tournaments cos with his type of play, it seems like he's not gonna last very long. But it has been a great year for him and mad props, I love how he never gives up on catching the ball.

Although I dont really get why people think Nadal owns Federer cos outside of clay, if I remember correctly, Federer actually has a head to head lead on him. It's a given that Nadal owns everyone on clay which I guess inflates to head to head stat.

Agreed. Even some of the fast servers get attacked on hardcourts. Australian Open is the same story. It is not a forgiving surface for mediocre serves. Nadal hardly ever feels pressured on his serve on grass because the surface doesn't give a true bounce and true footing.
