What happened to that promise of Nadal not losing again?

He called me and asked if he could let Mardy win because he deserves his time in the sun too.

I told him I would allow it and that I respect his sacrifice.

Then Mardy wasted his charity by losing to GOD DAMN ANDY MURRAY.

I think Djokovic will be okay, winning 9 tournaments in a year takes a lot out of you, he needed a break.

Time to see if Sharapova can actually hold for the match.

Tag.

My BIG predictions:

- Nadal out before Quarter-finals.
- Youzhny to make Semi-Finals.
- Tsonga to make Semi-Finals.
- Murray to win (beating Djokovic in final).
- Davydenko out first round.
- No US players in second week.

Hmm.

I'd say Federer > Murray and uh...Sharapova > Azarenka.

Finals: Nadal > Djokovic in straight sets.

Murray out in first round.

Fish wins every set until he loses to Nadal.

Division 1 Djokovic > Dolgopolov

Division 3 Federer > Stepanek
Division 4 Fish > Tsonga
Division 5 del Potro > Soderling
Division 6 Murray > Wawrinka
Division 7 Ferrer > Roddick
Division 8 Nadal > Gulbis

Djokovic > Tipsarevic
Fish > Federer
del Potro > Murray

Djokovic/Federer
Murray/Nadal

Djokovic:

R3: Dodig
R4: Gasquet/Dolgopolov/Gonzalez/Nishikori
QF: Berdych/Monfils/Tipsarevic/Dimitrov

Federer:

R2: Bellucci
R3: Tomic/Cilic
R4: Stepanek/Troicki/Kohlschreiber
QF: Fish/Tsonga/Verdasco

Murray:

R3: Lopez
R4: Wawrinka/Chela
QF: Soderling/Del Potro/Simon/Baghdatis/Isner

Nadal:

R3: Ljubicic
R4: Youzhny/Melzer
QF: Ferrer/Almagro/Roddick

Also a possible Anderson/Fish match up in R3 which you guys will love. I think Murray has the toughest SF path (he lost to Wawrinka in the US last year, and Del Potro and Soderling are possible QF opponents), Nadal probably the easiest, with Djoko's and Fed's in the middle. Federer has to deal with a couple of tricky week one matches against Bellucci and Tomic/Cilic, before a QF against likely either Fish or Tsonga, both of whom are in great form. Djoko's got a pretty average route through, but there's some players in there who'll be able to beat him if he plays like he did last week, especially over five sets in the heat. I'd be pretty shocked if Nadal lost to anyone pre-SFs, other than maybe Ferrer, unless due to injury.

(Well, I never promised creativity, did I?!)

Wozniacki/S. Williams
Kvitova/Zvonareva

(Azarenka is the real seed opposite Woz, but S. Williams is her probable R3 opponent and the real favourite, so yeah).

Wozniacki:

R3: Gajdosova
R4: Hantuchova/Kuznetsova
QF: Petkovic/Kanepi/Li

S. Williams:

R3: Azarenka
R4: Peer/Ivanovic
QF: Jankovic/Schiavone

Kvitova:

R4: Wickmayer/Radwanska
QF: Sharapova/Peng/Pirokova

Zvonareva:

R4: Cibulkova/Lisicki
QF: Stosur/Petrova/Bartoli/Kirilenko

As a Brit I'm more interested in Baltacha/Hampton and Watson/Sharapova (both R1). I hope Watson will give Maria as good a game as Robson did at Wimby.

I hope Sharapova doesn't lose a single point the entire tournament.

--

I hope Nadal hits a forehand so hard during his first round match that it destroys the entire complex and they have to postpone the US Open for a week.


...because I am moving this weekend and I won't have cable/internet at some point during the early rounds :(

Everyone should enter the US Open Bracket Challenge.

http://bracketchallenge.usopen.org/usta/home.php

I've done something crazy with my Women's bracker and taken Pervak all the way to the semis. Still more likely to happen than Wozniacki or Azarenka winning.

My men's bracket is a lot more predictable, with the only real upset being Del Potro > Soderling.

Schedule for Monday is up, weather permitting. Fish and Sharapova during the day, Federer at night. Was kinda hoping for Djokovic, but this should suffice.

I do because I can.....and because I'm bored.

Sharapova matches are 10 times more nerve-wracking in person than on TV.

Also she really is that loud.

--
i'm dumb as hell holy crap -ExThaNemesis

Yeah I had Kvitova winning so lol my bracket.

--
i'm dumb as hell holy crap -ExThaNemesis

Did anyone else enter the bracket challenge I posted above?

My Women's bracket is doing quite well, 658th out of 7641. Kvitova (QF) and Sevastova (3R) the only 2 real mistakes i've made so far, but everyone had Kvitova winning or getting very far...

My women's bracket was Kvitova > Li Na in the finals. I will not be winning that contest this year.

Also where is everyone? Nadal's about to lose a set and Anri is nowhere to be found.

Other dude choked hard. To be completely honest, Nadal did not look very good. Credit to Golubev because he was really going for his shots and made quite a few of them, but Nadal was making a lot of errors tonight.

--
i'm dumb as hell holy crap -ExThaNemesis

Good.

I told him to troll the crowd until the fourth round.

He's likely going to drop a set before then just to give the other chumps "hope" that he isn't actually omnipotent.

So much for that Women's bracket! 5 Quarterfinaists out already...

My Men's bracket, whilst a lot safer, is doing much better. Unlikely to win but definitely finishing in the top 20%.
