Surprised there's not a thread already.

No big surprises so far on the first day, Federer is up next on Arthur Ashe court. Gotta love night tennis at the US Open.

Reminded me of the Adidas Barricade shoes that they made a few years back for the Masters in Shanghai with the dragons on them. Those looked stupid too

Love late night tennis. Watching girls NCAA champ gullickson hold her own vs wozniaki.

Some beautiful tennis out there.

I watched the first few games, but Gully got beat 1,1 right? Did she really hold her own?

Yeah, she really didn't look bad at all. She can hit it VERY hard, but she needs to be able to control it better and improve her form a bit. Lots and lots of match play against the best would help a lot, so this was a great experience for her. And was anyone watching when Azarenka fainted a little while ago against Dulko?

Ryan Harrison, who used to train at Newks in New Braunfels, is up 2 sets to 1 and a break in the fourth on Ivan Ljubicic. He is playing some good tennis, would be great for this kid to make a little racket at the US Open this round knocking off a seed

And he pulls it out, 6-4 in the fourth. Great win for the 18 year old!

gullickson most certainly did not hold her own against wozniacki. it was never a match. yeah, she hits the **** out of the ball, but she can't play defense and she has the shot tolerance of a ten year old. she needs to go back to school, no question.

my boy ryan harrison played some serious ball, although ljubicic never really had a chance in this heat, and he knew it. would be great to see him keep his head down and get through a couple more rounds.

Yay! Good! I was keeping an eye on him before I had to head to class, but I'm so glad he won!

Rebecca Marino from Canada is playing some good tennis right now against Venus- huge serve, huge forehand. It has the potential to be very interesting if Marino can keep it up and get in on Venus' service games a little better. Right now it's 4 all in the first set.

UPDATE: In a very entertaining first set, Venus wins it in a tiebreak, but Marino is hanging right there with her. Hopefully the second set will be just as good.

Another update: Venus wins it 7-6, 6-3. Marino has a lot of talent, though. I hope she keeps improving.

And Roddick looks like crap. Whats new.

No legs. He's still only about 75%, if that. Not even allowing the crowd to help him right now.

Will be interesting to see if this pumps him up or accelerates the slide.

Funny enough, he did foot fault, just not with the back foot. I love seeing A Rod get fired up about it though. He made a great point, it would be impossible, with his motion, to foot fault with his right foot.

I love this tournament...

Roddick better fight back and win, I really want to see him play this weekend!

Dangit Andy!!! I really hope the journalists at the press conference don't ask him any stupid questions... It could get ugly.

How has janko never won a tour event?

The guy is always dangerous for an upset, but he cant play at that level for a full tourney. He's just a mediocre player with sporadic great results. I think he made a few finals this summer, just couldnt pull it out

I love watching him play because he is balls to the wall the entire match

Watching live tennis on usopen.org, and holy crap Murphy Jensen gets old to listen to. He never shuts up. Talks about how Fish does not have a weakness right now, then talks about how he needs to work on his mental toughness, just contradicting back and forth.

And the "fish" jokes are getting old.

luke and murphy jensen always have been, and always will be, a freak show. they had their moment in the sun, and since then have done next to nothing in terms of development. they are not very highly respected at all among tennis coaches, junior, college, or pro.

I have met Luke a few times, and he was always nice. Murphy is the idiot of the two.

A site i frequent alot lately has some decent photoshop threads going for the Open particularly the movie posters although i don't doubt texags can mop the floor with them.

minor pain in the butt to register but the guy running the site told me theyre going to do contests with prizes next week.
