US Open.....Anyone watching?

[GypsySorcerer]

Any other tennis fans here? I'm pulling for Agassi to win one more Slam, though James Blake is an incredble comeback story. I wonder if anyone can beat Federer, however.

On the women's side...I think it is pretty open. (Glad Serena is out; I like Venus much better.) Mary Pierce just beat Henin-Hardenne....I wouldn't mind seeing Pierce make a run. :nod:

Agassi advances to semifinals, and Davenport advances too. Im pulling for Andre also :)

[CreepingDeath]

I gotta go with my fellow Las Vegan, Agassi.<3 I think Federer is pretty much unbeatable though. As for the women's side, I want to see Davenport win it.

On a side note- I've been to Wimbledon and the Australian Open, which was a lot of fun.

I grew up watching Agassi. I love him. That's cool you've been to Wimbledon and the Australian. I hope to see a Slam someday.

I like Agassi better now than when he was younger. But, I LOVE Roger Federer. I'm rooting for him to win. He's such a classy, elegant player. He makes tennis look very easy, which it's not. I think he's the best player I've ever seen & as a bonus, he's also beautiful to look at too. :)

I do enjoy Tennis, but it's gotten sooo boring the last few years. There really arent any personalities any more. I know it's about what goes on on the court, but it's just not as fun to watch as it used to be. I can remember watching the Connors/McEnroe Wimbledon final in 1982. It went 5 sets. NOW that was entertainment. Roger Federer may be the only male tennins player I enjoy watching these days. He's such a nice guy and he plays well. Some of these other guys, all they know how to do is serve 100 miles per hour all the time. That's not fun to watch for me. AS far as the women go, the VenusVsSerena thing has run its course for me. But I will say I do find wome's tennis much more interesting to watch these days. :)

Here's an Agassi & Federer fan, and I cannot stand Xavier Malisse, he thinks he's John Mcenroe!

[CreepingDeath]

Cool. What year did you go to the Australian? Also, what matches, if you remember. I do find the dominant baseline rallies of the current era singles tornaments have become a little boring, to be honest. Doubles is my favourite, the Australian Woodies pair and also the Woodbridge and Bjorkman pairing are/were my favourites to watch.

I went to the Australian this year. The matches I saw were Federer vs. Safin and then the finals, Safin vs. Hewitt. On the women's side I saw S. Williams vs. Sharapova.

The atmosphere of the finals was incredible, since it was the first time in awhile that an Aussie had made it through. Too bad Safin won it though. Oh, and our seats were pretty close to Olivia Newton John. :lol:

Federer is an amazing player now doubt......certainly the best out there now. But, I do get tired of seeing the same people win. :)

I go back and forth on liking women's or men's more. A few years ago, it was women's. I always liked Capriati. But right now, the men interest me more.

[macfan 57]

Me too. :) I've always loved watching the men. I haven't really followed women's tennis all that much since Chris Evert retired. I'll probably be rooting for Lindsey Davenport this year. She's really made herself into a very good player. The Williams sisters just turn me off.

[GypsySorcerer]

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Congrats to Andre making the semis.......in one of the best matches I've seen in a long, long time. And congrats to Blake too on a fine run. :)

Even with that manic increase in primal screaming whenever someone serves, vollies or lobs? LOL Even the Ball Persons are going "Ohhhhharrrrrrrrrrghoooooarrrrrghhh!" when they slightly bend to retrieve a ball!! :rolleyes: :lol:

I like women's tennis, not men's as much. But it's very cool Agassi made it.

It was nice to se her comeback where she won the French Open

[macfan 57]

Congratulations to Agassi(and to Blake too). That was a great match last night. He should easily make it to the final, probably against Federer. Too bad about Lindsey Davenport though.

As one of the fans mentioned yesterday, it really didn't matter who won the Blake/Agassi match, as Federer will win anyway. :laugh: It was too bad about Lindsey. As far as the women go, I want Clijsters or Pierce to win it.

It was. She is apparently in rehab now and plans to make another comeback. :nod:

The question is, Will Agassi have a chance against Federer. I hate to say this, but even though Andre has had an admirable run so far, I think he'el be DESTROYED by Federer. Both are nice guys though, so no matter who wins, it'll be good. :nod:

[ryan8472]

I'm watching from time to time, just because I'm in love with Roger Federer. :p :nod:

I'm still holding out hope that Hewitt will take out Federer in the semis. Wishful thinking. :lol:

Hey, he could've said Ivan Lendl was a hottie....... :p

Probably not. If Federer plays well, I don't think there's much that Agassi can do. If Federer doesn't play well, Agassi has a chance. It all depends on Federer. He's clearly the better player. The same goes for Hewitt. His recent record against Federer is awful. But, you're right, Agassi & Federer are both nice guys.

[macfan 57]

No way. I'll take Federer. :)

I think there is a slim, very slim, chance that Andre could beat Federer. But you're right -- Federer will have to be off.

I can't see it. :(

Some of those silly tennis faces might pop up elsewhere, if you catch my drift. ;)

Edit - now it's showing. He looks better there. I like him with shorter hair.

How about this one? This is a more recent picture of Federer.
