Fed in cruise control...up 4-0 in the 2nd set right now.

Oh, and Serena did lose!

The Williams/Kuznetsova match was a good one. But, it's getting more difficult to watch Serena play. She looked like she was going to fall to the ground most of the time with that "hang dog" look/posture. Gets tiresome. The Federer/Monfils(sp?) match is also a good one. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the FO this much.

Someone brought up a good point about Serena Williams earlier. If she would get herself into top shape she would win the next 12 grand slams in a row and go down as the greatest female tennis player of all time. Yet she still insists on weighing as much as I do.

Federer must be speaking German to his French counterpart.

Is there a poorer loser in professional sports that Serana except maybe her sister? I don't think I've ever heard her say anything complimentary about an opponent after she's lost.

Agreed and gets the free pass with it. No one in
the sports media wants to take team Williams on.

Why in the world is NBC showing Soderling-Gonzalez TAPE DELAY, when Federer-Del Potro is LIVE???


I hate NBC when it comes to grand slams.

Well how about CBS? Last year the US Open finals was not televized. You had to watch it over the internet.

Incindentally, Federer is in a tad bit of trouble. He better not go down two sets to this guy.

they have yet to show it. They are still showing the 5th set of the Gonzalez/Soderling match, WHICH IS OVER.

Never showed a point of the Fed match

Thanks Peterman!

This feed is the best I've seen so far. I'm in NYC for the week and they're showing Days of Our Lives on the local NBC network! Both the HD and regular feed.

Man I hope Fed pulls this out in the 5th set. He rolled Del Potro in the 4th....

It is absolutely laughable. You turn on the radio. they give the scores. You turn on ESPN, they run the scores...you basically have to go without any outside influences until they show it on the network to see it without knowing the result.

A joke.

Fed breaks and holds!

up 2-0 early

ESPN has all the early rounds and the weekday coverage. NBC has a contract to do all the semis and finals coverage. Wait for tomorrow, it wont be live for the womens final, nor will the mens final, probably. They have other programming to show during that time

It is all trying to garner the most viewers so they tape delayed. As tennis fans we should boycott the final and let the sponsors know why we did.

what needs to happen is NBC needs to show it live, then tape delay again later, like ESPN does on the Aussie open
