Where will DelPo land? That is the big question now.

August 23rd, 2016 at 11:48 pm

It will be interesting to see where Delpo ends up, he can certainly trouble one of the elite players, then he will most probably lose to a player you expect him to beat handily, he beat Novak and Rafa at the Olys then lost to Murray, and playing opponents close means doodle squat if you then still lose, and bearing in mind they were best of 3 sets anyway, best of five you need alot more stamina, sorry but i just dont bye into this amazing run, top 5 ranking, multiple GS, Masters etc that people keep saying will happen but never does, 7 years since Delpo won the USO, and hes done nothing of note since, i will be happy to be proved wrong, but im not holding my breath, attack me all you like as i dont care ….

Thanks for the article AM. BTW, I never responded to your question of how I celebrated Andy’s Rio gold. To be honest, I just slept because I was so exhausted! I’ll come up with something better if he wins the US Open. :-)

I had posted on another thread saying that I didn’t think I could do the US Open racket bracket before Sunday and had asked if Jalep or Kimberly could do it. But now it turns out that I will be able to arrange it. So please check for it later this week. I’ll try to get it up by Friday (possibly late Friday).

@RZ..ha ha ha..that’s alright sis,celebration is not important..the most valuable thing was that he won,right?And that’s the most expensive gift to all his fans..and i hope he will add his 4th slams soon..this is the right time for him to do that..

Rooting for Andy and delpo.

To Willow:
Delpo has done nothing in 7 years? You mean other than 3 or 4 wrist surgeries? Silver medal in the Olympics. Played Murray (world no. 2?) at Olympics with zero in tank. Beat Djokovic and Nadal to get there. Bring some facts to the table, bro, if you want to try and trash a U.S.Open champion. I bet you could pick Roger Federer apart, too. BTW, do you know which end of a racquet to hold? Just curious.

August 24th, 2016 at 2:01 pm

Brian true, but theres no need for the insults, and i meant on a tennis court, im just using some context, yep he has won two Olympic medals so i apologize for that, and as i did already say he can have great results against the elite player, but more often than not when it comes to the slams especially he does have maybe one or two amazing results, then will lose to someone you would expect him to beat handily, the last time he had a great run besides the USO in 2009 was 2013 W semi, and Masters 1000 against Nadal of the same year IW pushing him close, i still dont believe he has the stamina for 5 sets, but i will be happy to be proved wrong, as i do like the guy ….

BTW I Have always given Roger alot of credit for his achievements hes the greatest ever IMO, so you shouldnt pass judgement on me when you know nothing about me, as youve not been here long enough, so dont put words into my mouth, as i dont appreciate it ….

^To add im a female not a male, and although i dont play tennis, im well aware of which end you hold a tennis raquet, im a care assistant FYI, so no need for the sarcasm ^ ….

Steve Johnson

Given that his parents didn’t work hard at his name, they did have some money to put him through tennis training. Mr. Vanilla may be the breakout star for the US.

To be clear, “Breakout US Star” means he will reach the fourth round.

Willow: I have been away too, but delighted you were back when I returned. We need your breath of fresh air.

To Brian: Welcome. Opinions on players are welcome – no matter how varied – such a pity…..you attacked on a personal basis.

“BTW, do you know which end of a racquet to hold?” is pretty challenging when you haven’t “met” them before????

August 24th, 2016 at 5:22 pm

J-Kath thankyou for the breath of fresh air bit, dont know who will agree on that bit though lol ? and i will say the feelings mutual, i had a lovely break, found out from my Manager by phone that i had passed my diploma too, and ive another camp coming up next weekend, and will be away and miss much of the USO unfortunatly, anyway enough about me i hope your well and enjoyed your break, and also nice to see you back, as i missed you too ;-)) ….

August 25th, 2016 at 4:50 am

Willow: Well done re. Diploma – no stopping you now. Have an even lovelier break….by the time you go, we’ll all be holding a collective breath for our favourite – hopefully.

August 25th, 2016 at 6:28 am

J-Kath yeah, hope its either Nadal (yeah, i can here the sniggering of no chance ), or Murray, in that order for the USO, but i think Murray stands a better chance, as the news on Rafas wrist is sketchy at best, and nobody knows what shape Novaks in regarding his wrist either ? ….
