Roger Federer serving with two match points in the fifth set in the semis at the oddest US Open in recent history….
Ok. The first match point Novak just “went for a kamaikazi shot” on a forehand return….. ok, so … One Novak blew past you…. Ok…. and then one hit the top of the net and went flying…. Such a pity. truly that was bad luck …
For real where the trouble began was the beginning of the third set. Where did you go? Rog your plan should have been to be on court as short as time as possible. Save your body. Each shot is tough on an old body. Your only hope for longevity is match brevity…. Less time on court. More rest time. Less rehab time. Less massage time. I’m so bummed. No worries about recovery time for the finals now….
Rogi. Rogi. Rogi. To come so close. To not win another slam…. It’s a funny thing about slams. Every guy/chick in the 128 draws believes they will win. If they have had past success even more so. If they get past that first round jitters… even better.
If they round that corner to the second week of a slam…. If they make that exclusive list of round of 16… The closer you get the more you smell it… Taste it… Feel it… Want it!
Ouch… That’s the one that brings the jitters. The inability to “close –out” a match… not letting it get away from you…
Wanting it? No one wants it more that Roger Federer !!!! Sorry RF and the group…..
Novak Djokovic. What can we say? Besides that you bounce too much?
You were AWESOME! You have had a season to dream about! You seem to be enjoying every moment. It’s spectacular to see. You are always entertaining…. Sometimes charming… Sometimes Funny… You hang with big shots like Burkle. You have an amazing explosive mesmerizing ability to face defeat with out fear. Truly amazing….
Mens tennis…. We have the best ever. Federer.
We have the athletic spinmaster Rafael Nadal. ..
We have the man with the best season in history. Even if the record books say different. He played during a time that every shot was hit by 100 players that all were strong. The depth in both the men’s and ladie’s games is sick. Singles. Dubs. Tennis is super tennis. New strings. New shoes. New equipment. Our old shoes would have split at seams if we tried all the squash type shots in the game today …
I saved the best for last. 10sballs.com sends out a huge hello to the Great Serbian tennis player DUSAN VEMIC! We see you as part of the Serbian team. We see you in the box of the number one player in the world this year, and have all season!!!
Dusan we know your presence has added a lot to the “NOLE” camp. We thank you for being such a loyal, and great friend of the site. We need a “Dusan’s Diary ” section…
The greatest single year in the history of tennis. As we say we don’t know Dusans exact role all we know is how handsome he looks in his green sweatshirt. (Hoody.) With our Yellow tennis ball patches on both shoulders…..
