Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Venus is struggling, just lost the first set. New thing, this year the early rounds are broadcasted by ESPN instead of USA. Edited September 1, 2009 by Van Basten II Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Don't know which is uglier between her game and her dress Edited September 1, 2009 by Van Basten II Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Came back strong on her serve to get to a third set. Don't count on me to post about the following game starring A-Rod. It will be way too late. Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Poor Dushevina , her only chance to win was to to grab the second set, she's getting beaten from pillow to post in the third. The boys might start before 11 pm. Quote

The boys might start before 11 pm. Yeah, its been a painful match to watch. Don't have the stats handy but Venus' unforced errors must be through the roof in that first set, while Dushevina's first service percentage was just as bad. Quote
thedwork Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Poor Dushevina , her only chance to win was to to grab the second set, she's getting beaten from pillow to post in the third. you may have spoken too soon! she was cruising to lose at 4-0 down and now she's won the last 3 games to make it 4-3 in the 3rd - and i believe it's her serve...

Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Seems as soon as i write something, something else happens. It's a game that nobody wants to win, Venus was leading 4-0 broke twice her opponent geez, now 4-3 only. Edited September 1, 2009 by Van Basten II Quote
thedwork Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) oh well. couple saved match points. this probably doesn't bode well for Venus. we'll see... Edited September 1, 2009 by thedwork Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Finally gone through, exciting in an ugly kind of way. Don't put too much money on Venus if you go to the bookie. Quote
AndrewHill Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Very scrappy at best. Hope the next match's better. Quote

AndrewHill Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Looks like Roddick's having a bit of a hiccup in the second set. Quote
AndrewHill Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Safina's match was just as scrappy as Venus' was yesterday. Not an impressive start for the world's numbers one and three. Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 We might have a game between Murray and Gulbis, felt that Murray played a bit too safe on the last serve game he got broke. Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Tough way to lose a set, but then again that is why Murray is a top seeded player and Gulbis is not. Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Ivanovic was dropped out of the tournament , how the mighty has fallen ! Quote
AndrewHill Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Tough way to lose a set, but then again that is why Murray is a top seeded player and Gulbis is not. Yeah, ultimately Murray was able to get back on track and defeat Gulbis in straights. Ivanovic was dropped out of the tournament , how the mighty has fallen ! Didn't see a story on this. What happened? Quote
rockefeller center Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Taylor Dent vs Feliciano Lopez was a pretty good match. Great comeback by Dent. http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/interview...1859746625.html Quote

What happened? Gulbis was ranked number 4 last august, how did he do that, informatic piracy ? Trying to dig out results that make him go up to that ranking. Regarding the match , it was a typical game between a great and a good player. Good player gives all he can handle at the beginning but fails to capitalize and then his game becomes more erratic, great player has an easier time. Bad choice of words, was eliminated in three sets in the first round, saw the third set tie-breaker, she so does not look like a former number 1 player right now Edited September 2, 2009 by Van Basten II Quote

Ok now i see , i misread the date for the rankings http://www.usopen.org/en_US/players/overview/atpg858.html Under the line high rank date for singles, i thought they meant the rank 4 for august 2008, when they meant he obtained his best ranking august the 4th.
