US Open Day 8: Monday, Sept 2 - Order of Play

[kskate2]

Right Mox. No breaks of serve in the first set, but I suspect that will change going forward.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Let's see how play goes in set 2 whether Kohls keeps it up and if Nadal ups his level.

 

[kskate2]

Nadal needs to get more 1st serves in. His return game is a little off too.

 

[kskate2]

can't believe Kohls hit that right back to Nadal

 

[nehmeth]

deuce from 0-40

 

[kskate2]

BP again on a massive BH

 

[DarthFed]

Rafa definitely not himself so far

 

[kskate2]

his timing is a little off and it's affecting his returns

 

[kskate2]

yikes. what a shot by Kohls to hold serve

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Wow, Nadal blows that chance!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kohl escapes again from 0-40 and saves 4 break points.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

My gut tells me Rafa plays a sloppy game this game after that massive failure to break.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed says in the interview that he lost the match all by himself, which is
true.

 

[kskate2]

the last time he didn't break serve he dropped the TB. Let's see how he handles this serve game

 

[DarthFed]

Rafa watched a little too much of Fed's match today

 

[crystalfire]

looks like rafa is following in feds footsteps with struggling in big points today

 

[DarthFed]

Fed says in the interview that he lost the match all by himself, which is
true.

Yeah no doubt he will get grilled for that comment. Tommy played bravely and took his chances but they often followed really poor play from Roger.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kohl is 9-1 against Nadal. Won the only grass match between the two. Lost all
5 clay matches in straight sets. Took one set in each of the 4 hard court matches.

 

[DarthFed]

LMAO at Cliff acting like he's a genius when it was in by a hair

News Flash:

1. Andy Murray has officially qualified for the WTF by getting into R16 of USO.

2. Fed goes up in rankings (but not race) to No. 6 despite his loss as JMDP
lost much earlier and JMDP had a SF to defend compared to QF of Fed.
