2008 US Open Thread

James Blake v. Donald Young is on right now on USA Network.

Young is 19, ranked 73rd in the world and is the former #1 junior in the world and went pro at 15.

Blake won the first set 6-1, Young is up 4-2 in the second set. Interesting battle.

Mardy Fish is up 2 sets on James Blake, third set, 6-6 tiebreaker

Fish is not joking around tho. He wants this and is playing hungry.

Young Drachma · 08-30-2008, 10:51 PM

This is apparently the furthest that Fish has ever advanced at the Open. So he's trying to make a real statement. I'd love to see this thing go further, but if Fish wants it, he needs to keep cranking those serves and get out of this now.

As a side note, I really like instant replay in tennis.

Fish did great work. He deserves the victory.

Fish takes set 1 off Nadal, on USA now. Nadal breezing through set 2, but the crowd should be well behind Fish. (Winner plays Murray in one semi, while Roddick-Djokovic and Federer-Muller meet tomorrow to determine semi #2. Women's bracket is... oh hell, I can't care less. I think there's a Williams.)

Serena beat Venus 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (9-7) to advance to the semis. Hell of a match, though I haven't seen it all yet.
