US Open '11: Point by Point Coverage

[tikigirl]

Okay, now I'm done with the men's side since I despise the last three.

[acre]

I'm so dep-essed, okay? Waah, I am, this is just the wo-st way to lose a match. Losing is one thing, losing this way is the fucking wo-st.

[lizm]

Dammit. Cut your damn hair, Roger. (stomps off)

[kellygreen]

I'm so sad. I don't even have words... Ugh.

Now I hope that Murray comes through today and actually wins the title on Monday. Probably a long shot, but I'd like to see that for him.

So sorry for Fed and Fed fans.

ETA: I'm thankful for this board and having fellow Fed & all-around tennis fans here. I lurk more than I post, but its great to have this place to celebrate and lick our wounds when necessary.

[micki15]

Delurking to say...

Damn it Roger!!! Damn! Damn! Damn!

You fucking HAD it!!! 2 sets to Love! 2 match points!!!!

I have never been so pissed.

OK - Go Rafa! Win it all.

Now Djoker's going to be (even more) insufferable. Dammit, Roger.

[roseha]

I missed the end, was visiting my Mom.

So sad.

Good luck next year Roger.

I am *so* glad I am working Monday.

ETA: I'm thankful for this board and having fellow Fed & all-around tennis fans here.

thanks kellygreen and everyone. Nice to have sympathy here.

[tisha]

I can live the rest of my life without ever seeing Djoker's "dancing" abilities again. I no longer HATE him, isn't that enough? Why does he have to repulse me with his ridiculous efforts to make me like him?

[GrandSlamGuru]

It was the pounding on his chest like Tarzan that irritated me.

[whimper] sob [/whimper]

[harry24]

I don't think a loss could be more devastating. Devastating. At least to me.

[acre]

Yeah, I'm whimpe-ing too. I kinda expected him to lose all along, but then 2 sets to love, then ugh once it went to a 5th I was su-e he'd lose and then goddamnit I so wish I hadn't looked at it at 40-15 double match point. It's like eve-ything conspi-ed to have him lose in the c-uelest possible way. And y'all a-e much st-onge- and b-ave- than I am. Watch the post match celeb-ation? What, why not just slit my w-ists while I'm at it?

It's tainting my attitude towa-d all the othe- matches, too. Like, who gives a fuck afte- that debacle? Hopefully I'll pe-k back up fo- Se-ena vs Woz.

And of cou-se I'll get ove- it, but is this "too soon?" YES.

[oopssorry]

Seriously, harry and acre.

And tiki and kelly.

Why oh why is it that Rafa should get an essential walkover while Roger should get the Egomaniac that Roared?? WHY?? (I mean, I know why. But still - existentially - WHY??)

I think, I fear, that I might be done. The tennis equivalent of slitting my wrists. No more.

[/drama]

[lt]

It was horrible. Roger let Djoker in and Djoker is just too good for that. But match points! We were clapping like mad and then. . .oh, I can't. Too much roller coaster and so draining. I was hoping that Andy could take my mind off of it by playing great and well, we left after the second set. We just had nothing left. I took a half day on Monday to see the match but I'm giving it back--there is nothing about Rafa/Djoker that interests me.

[acre]

Okay, Nadal, w-ap it up and let's get on to the women's match. I'm sick of men's tennis at the moment. I would so much -athe- watch Se-ena vs Woz. I want Se-ena to win, totally, but otoh if Woz does it well that would be damn good fo- he-, and kinda inte-esting to see if she can actually seal the deal. Huh, doubt it, but one neve- knows.

Oh god lt you we-e the-e! How massively wonde-ful and ho--ible all at once. To be able to see such fantastic tennis live, such quality, so close I would lite-ally have sobbed in that case instead of just being a c-abby dep-essed poste- (with maybe a little something in my eye).
