Getting up early to work. Face the spider by the entrance again, and some evidence of the ducks and gooses – someone is more diligent than I’m -:). Most friends rated the top one @ 7am over the third one below. A similar one from last week.
A very humid day, temp is at 70+ but sweat streaming down my little braids. 6-4 and 6-7. What do you do when the players in your group never opens a can of balls and has bad line calls consistently?
Here is the video. Another blink moment. This is the last shot Kerber hit to the baseline and won the semi final match. Caroline Wozniacki has challenger but chose not to use it. Everyone is wondering why didn’t Caroline challenge it? No one will hand you a victory unless you try. You’ll have to earn it.
I watched part of Wozniacki’s and Kerber’ interview. No one asked about the last point.
It’s kinda of painful to watch him 痛苦的表情. It’s just a game. Everyone on Nishikori’s team is wearing the same t shirt, with multiple logos. Not that this is unshared of, but it kind of an eyesore, very 俗气. The team leaped up after Nishikori took the second set at 4. Here is 30 min youtube of him looking back at his career.
… and at semi against Wawrinka … showing his belly ehhhhh
Kvitova five or six years ago. The bird view of the new US Open complex.
Isn’t her hair a bit too heavy?
He reminds me of old time Russian players: bad hair cut and bad tooth.
Blink moment. First set tiebreak. Steve Johnson has three challenges but he elected not to challenge. TV showed its OUT, long … and Johnson lost the first set 5-7 …
Talking about Stan Wawrinka’s wardrobe. His opponent Fernando Verdasco, this time, out done him thou, in spite everyone is into yellow fever. Then there’s the plumber Sam Querrey, forever conservative. Go Sam, beat him and advance!
Girls’ skirts are pretty short
Serena’s outfit
This has to be the most uniformed Open so far: every one is wearing the same neon/florescence color of yellow, men and women. At some singles matches the two players wearing identical outfit. Zhang Shuai is very tanned, still playing – she’s considering retirement before.
