I just lost a big post I’d made about the outfits dammit!
NZ TV not showing the match between the Williams sisters & the Czechs. I’ve got it on US Open.org radio now.
The Czechs won the 1st set.
Williams sisters are about to be knocked out in doubles.
And the Williams are out.
Stan vs. Djoker
Can Stan the man win?
He’s off to a very good start- he took a two-break lead but just gave one of the breaks back. I keep forgetting he came close to beating Djokovic in Australia.
And then Wawrinka immediately got another break and wrapped up the set. So far Djokovic is sleepwalking through this one.
Djoker just woke up, though. He is immediately moving better in the second set.
Djoko is complaining about his racket to his box.
That was a more challenging hold for Wawrinka, but he got the job done. Over the first 10 or 12 games if you were told one of these guys was the world #1 and the other was playing in his first major semifinal, you wouldn’t have guessed who was who.
Thank You Marley… if I never ever hear a fan in any sport… anytime say someone tanked something… Its so stupid… Its so incredibly hard to get to that spot… whether it’s the semi’s of a Tennis major… the final pairing of a Golf Major… hitting in a major league game… whatever… If you’ve ever had a chance to meet and talk with a professional athlete you’d know they wouldn’t let you win in tossing paper into a trash can…
MacEnroe is really holding back… he really wants to say something about Joko’s lack of fire and Stan hitting balls all over the place… A more mature Johnny Mac eh?
Djoko code violation for coaching…whaaa?
5th set for the match.
That was the longest game I’ve ever seen - definitely by points and probably by time. 12 deuces and 20 minutes before Wawrinka finally held serve, and the points seemed to get better as it went on. They’re still on serve with Wawrinka leading 2-1.
But now Wawrinka looks worn out. Djokovic gets a break and leads 3-2.
Serena finally woke up and is now looking to win in straight sets.
Wow. Serena had a two-break lead at one point, and later she served for the match twice and couldn’t close the deal. Azarenka managed to win the tiebreak, so we’re going three.
Not so fast! Great finale!
Serena Serena Serena 
Serena has done a great job of keeping it together after that disappointing finish. She’s up 4-1 in the third.
