[YanksHater213]

The girl I know, Mary Gambale, lost in the first round today 6-3, 6-1. Not surprised. Happy she got in and got to play, woulda loved to see her play against Sharapova though.

[yankeessuck013]

oh that sucks, there was an article in the syracuse paper about her a couple days ago.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

i hate golf. it's boring.

[stocker323]

[GabeKaplerluver19]

[GabeKaplerluver19]

... Maria Sharapova is yummy gross. andy rodick is yummy.

[YanksHater213]

MC Hammer, thats what I like to call quality posting... ;)

[stocker323]

Alright this thread has been split the latter half is in the fights and crap section. Let's try to keep this related to the US Open. If you want to keep talking about jealusey, go to fights and crap.

[YanksHater213]

Stocker sucks at splitting threads.

[YankeeDoodle]

OK FINE...

1) Jealous
2) Roddick

Mmk, that's it, for now.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

cha, it's quality. your jealuse right. of my quality.

[YanksHater213]

Ok, I am done with this... so here goes, take it how you will...

ITS JEALOUS. J-E-A-L-O-U-S. GOD DAMNIT. LEARN TO SPELL. CANT YOU TAKE A HINT?

[YankeeDoodle]

LEARN TO READ PREVIOUS POSTS.

Just kidding. :)

Mods must hate us right now.

[whereisnomar]

How about some people make predictions. Mine:
Men:
I think Federer will dominate again!!

Women: Henin-Harden is going to win.. but not by much i think.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

are you serious, you shoulda jus told my, god. I'm not the britist kid in EL. shessh

[GabeKaplerluver19]

Mods must hate us right now.

what's a mod

[YankeeDoodle]

Davenport. It'd be too bad if she can't pull the trigger on this.

I'm going to be creative, and pick someone else to win (has Federer won the U.S. - I don't think so)...who, meh?

Edit: Moderator. There?

[GabeKaplerluver19]

oh, i need to sleep i think.

[YanksHater213]

Hmm... for women? I dont know, too many people can win it. Imma go with the hot hand and say Clijsters...

For men I am going to say Nadal, only because hes pretty much the only guy who has shown he can beat Federer, and isnt intimidated by him.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

UMMM, i like tigger Woods in this one :lol: Is andy in it?

[YanksHater213]

Uhh... not very funny... Roddick is in it, and he will not win it, I guarantee it. By far the most overrated player ever.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

Uhh... not very funny... Roddick is in it, and he will not win it, I guarantee it. By far the most overrated player ever. I thought it was funny <_< , oh well, i tryed. I like rodick in this one anyway. And yes i know i spelt it wrong. :wetodd:

[YankeeDoodle]

Steff, proofread your posts, PLEASE. Tigger? He doesn't exist anywhere except in Pooh's forest or whatever.

Roddick has arguably the best serve ever. But that's his main criticism. He can serve, and that's about all he can do. Maybe if he played in a time where there was no Federer, he's have better luck. Kinda like he's to Federer what Agassi was to Sampras.

But I still think it's a good rivalry (Roddick has to WIN more), because there's such a contrast in style; power vs. finesse.

[yankeessuck013]

Uhh... not very funny... Roddick is in it, and he will not win it, I guarantee it. By far the most overrated player ever.

I should count how many times you say that/

[MC Hammer]

Uh if Maria is in it I predict she will look really good ... and make those hot grunting sounds. Other than that ... who cares who wins?

[YanksHater213]

You should, because I cant say it enough. People say hes so good, but really all you have to do is have a great return of serve, and some fairly solid groundstrokes and net play and Roddick is beaten. He is way too inconsistent. I hate him so much. He will never again beat Federer unless he gets lucky once. Federer is way too overall more dominant with his game all over the court. Hopefully Donald Young will develop soon, and will turn into something good for the US future.

[YanksHater213]

Uh if Maria is in it I predict she will look really good ... and make those hot grunting sounds. Other than that ... who cares who wins?
Hahha, yes I watched most of her match today and I couldnt stop thinking... "Wow, she is hot."

[GabeKaplerluver19]

Steff, proofread your posts, PLEASE. Tigger? He doesn't exist anywhere except in Pooh's forest or whatever. oops, i swore i spelt it write, shoot. Well Tigger is my pic to win in a boxing match against pooh. It's the Houndred acre woods not poohs forest. i still sleeped with a stuffed winnie the pooh. I've had him since i was 1. I will try to spell better, just don't get mad or ban me.

[yankeessuck013]

Uh if Maria is in it I predict she will look really good ... and make those hot grunting sounds. Other than that ... who cares who wins?

haha yankshater, I told you her grunting was HOTT!!!

[YanksHater213]

Meh... Its more of a yelp. I find moaning more hot than grunting... I know tennis players that I have seen at tournaments I've been at that moan rather than grunt... its very distracting, and very hot, especially when your playing the #2 seed, and the 16th ranked kid in New England.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

i don't watch tennis. to me, it's just a bunch of people hiting a ball.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

:D http://whymilk.com/ad_downloads/andy_roddick_l.jpg

[YanksHater213]

I actually enjoy watching tennis. But for me its not from so much of a "I Have Nothing Else To Watch So Ill Watch This" perspective, its more of an educational thing. Ive gotta tell you that since I started to watch tennis at the beginning of this year I have became a much better player. Pick up on strategys and whatnot. I like it, good stuff.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

I'm not dissing it or anything, i'm just saying I pesonly don't like. I think it's good that it helps you. I hope you achieve a lot. I hope I spelt that right.

[YanksHater213]

I never said you were - just voicing my opinion.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

oky doky smokey. Good Night Peps, see ya in the morning. like 10 or 11. not sure yet. don't have 2 much fun with out me. Feel free to talk about my stupidity. I enjoy it.
Good Night :sleep:

#12 tim henman lost in straight sets today

[YankeeDoodle]

I feel bad for Tim during Wimbledon; he has more expectations than anyone, arguably. It'd be nice to see him when it once...stay healthy and be consistent.

There's rumors circulating that Sharapova and Roddick are a couple...

[yankeessuck013]

There's rumors circulating that Sharapova and Roddick are a couple...

its possible.


As Sharapova arrived on the red carpet for one of the pre-event parties Tuesday night at the Playboy Mansion, the statuesque Russian was asked to take a few photos with Roddick.

"Are you wearing heels?" Roddick blared from across the carpet. "I'm not taking a photo with you if you're taller than me."

Vaulting on his tiptoes, Roddick made his way over to snap a few shots with the 18-year-old superstar. The two spent much of the evening together, chatting each other up and watching the bouts for ESPN2's "Tuesday Night Fights." Roddick displayed plenty of enthusiasm and grew very animated when big blows were landed.

After the party, the two retired to the Tropicana Bar at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and were still lounging together poolside into the wee hours of the morning.

A blooming love match or just two champions from the same sport bonding? Don't ask us

[yankeessuck013]

Maria Sharapova is dating Andy Roddick...

Tennis' latest glam-girl Maria Sharapova may be the new flame in fellow player Andy Roddick's life.

The Russian tennis beauty recently arrived at a posh New York party with the American star in tow, fuelling speculation about their budding romance.

However, Roddick, 22, who used to date Hollywood actress Mandy Moore, has insisted that he and the 2004 Wimbledon champ are just "friends".

But, sources close to the couple claim the rumour to be true, reports the New York Post.

"They are together," a close source said.

Maria, 18, who was last week linked to Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, has jokingly denied seeing Roddick.

"I'm 'known' to be dating three guys. I guess I'm just a cheater. What can I say?" she said.

Oh, Andy, how are you ever going to be Pete Sampras now?? :rolleyes:

Well, I was referring to his tennis talent.

[yankeessuck013]

ha, who cares, he's got a hot girlfriend....like really hot

[YankeeDoodle]

^ I know. There was a hidden reference, because Sampras married what's-her-name; she's the other woman in "the Wedding Planner", and people say he couldn't play tennis anymore. :lol:

[yankeessuck013]

what's the record for hardest serve I know roddick holds it, I think its 150 mph but i'm not sure, roddick just hit 146 mph.

[YankeeDoodle]

152 mph

[YanksHater213]

#12 tim henman lost in straight sets today
Henman is terrible.

Like I said before, RODDICK SUCKS. MULLER IS OWNING HIM SO FAR.

[YanksHater213]

WOOOOOOOO! RODDICK LOST! WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU.

This is what I've been saying all along. Roddick is terrible, end of story, loses to Muller 7-6, 7-6, 7-6. I am so happy that he lost. I hate him with a passion. You suck Andy, go kill yourself.

[yankeessuck013]

roddick lost but if I was him I wouldn't care knowing that I know that Maria is in my hotel room waiting to comfort me and do ummmm stuff.

[YanksHater213]

I would care. The guy just lost in the first fucking round to Gilles Muller. I am so happy. I hate Andy. He deserved this. Now do you believe me when I say he is vastly overrated?

[yankeessuck013]

WOOOOOOOO! RODDICK LOST! WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU.

survey says.....

TENNIS NERD

[YanksHater213]

So? Just because I know a lot about tennis, and like it? Thats no different from other people on this board with the Red Sox.

[yankeessuck013]

So? Just because I know a lot about tennis, and like it? Thats no different from other people on this board with the Red Sox.

can't stand 'em, they like, talk, breathe and eat tennis.

and this is a red sox board FYI

[YanksHater213]

...

[YanksHater213]

Also I would like to point out, who started this thread?

[yankeessuck013]

your point? usually my posts are 1 sentence, I don't analyze the tennis matches

[YanksHater213]

Quality > Quantity

[yankeessuck013]

w/e, anyways blake all the way

[YanksHater213]

Yes... YES! Ive been rooting for Blake since... always... he is probably my fav tennis player.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

OMG, I actuly watched it yesturday.

[yankeessuck013]

My boy Blake is playing Nadal Now

Blake won the first set 6-4.

[stocker323]

It's gonna be Nadal in 4, I just don't see him losing this match. He gets stronger as the match goes on.

[whereisnomar]

Come on Blake, your playing so well, just don't lose now. Keep it goin!

[yankeessuck013]

It's gonna be Nadal in 4, I just don't see him losing this match. He gets stronger as the match goes on.

make that nadal in five.....blake just won the third set 6-3...c'mon BLAKE!

[stocker323]

Only a major choke would prevent Blake from winning this one, Blake is playing so much better than Nadal today. I guess the hardcourt really isn't Nadal's specialty.

[yankeessuck013]

Complete Ownage by blake over #2 nadal today

6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1

[YanksHater213]

I called a Blake win. Hes been my fav player since a long time. The way he has been playing lately amazes me... hes been hitting not only his forehand, but his backhand with authority. I am very happy with this. And to be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if he makes the finals. He played Federer tough in the finals in Cincinatti, lost 6 and 5. So if he goes far I wont be surprised.

[YanksHater213]

Just finished watching Sanguinetti/Srichiphan. It was a pretty good match. Sanguinetti was down 2 sets to 1 and he came back and won in a 5th set tiebreak. Very entertaining match.

[whereisnomar]

I just got tickets for the Women's Final! They aren't to good though. They are the highest seats in the house, so it should be fun. They are for the womens final, so I will take my pick and say the Clijsters will win in 3 Sets!

[YanksHater213]

Lucky bitch... you have no idea how much I wanted to go to the US Open this year... Me and my friends are going next year though, and we are going to the Hot Dog Eating Contest as well in Coney Island

[YanksHater213]

Federer vs. Agassi in the final. I want to see Agassi win, but its just not practical. Federer cant be beat when he imposes his game on his opponent. People say Agassi is the best returner, but I think Federer is right up there as well.
