US Open - WIS...Did anyone catch it??

[TattooedGQ]

I was in a store today that had on the US open. The announcers were talking with Rafael Nadal, while watching Djokovic play.

the announcer, not McEnroe, said some "Watch Idiot Savant stole your $520k watch in Toronto"

Just wondering if anyone else caught that?!?!

[kcmo]

How funny! Sorry I missed that!

Good ladies match on now. Real good.

[TattooedGQ]

Yeah this has been a pretty good open so far....I'm going to the Men's Finals. I hope it goes Federer and Nadal.

[esm]

Yep, enjoyed of very much over here. (stupid EuroSport will not telecast anything FS onwards...).

Hoping a Fed vs Rafa final with Rafa finishing in 4 sets ;-)

Looking forward to the ATP World Tour Final in London in Nov...

Why 4 sets?

I am also looking forward to the ATP Finals in London. I will actually go see it live!

Gotta give Fed a set, otherwise he'd cry like a baby again.... ;-)

ATP World Tour Final was awesome. Saw a few cool matches last year. Loved it.
You xan alway see if you can buy more tickets during the week too. :-)

I think I'll be there during the first days, so if you see a blonde, young, guy with a GMT IIc on the wrist, say hello!

for sure - went for the first day last year and saw Murray vs. Del Potro - was a pretty good match.

the crowd control was pretty crap to say the least, i hope they have learnt from last year. the "indoor practice court" was pretty good, you can catch some cool players if you are on the right day (i mean, they are all cool.... gotta be top 8 to qualify )

not sure which days we will be going, will check later.

here are some pix from last year

You think anyone's gonna answer your question

Mate, wish I knew... I'd have one in the hallway and one in the balcony just for kicks... ;-)

Nice pictures! I've never seen Federer play live so I hope to see him play there. I did see Nadal and Söderling play eachother during Stockholm Open a few years back (yes, the Swede won ). Well, I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Please tell me what watch you're going to wear to the matches. I have a tendancy to look for nice ones during those types of events (a sickness for sure...)

i enjoy watch Soderling, and thought he was a breath of fresh air when he first came on board - too bad he lost the QF against Fed the other day. (im surprised that IKEA hasnt made a move on him...yet)

The above Rafa pic was taken when Rafa was playing Soderling.... Soderling played very well in that match. it felt like Rafa didnt want to be there, maybe he was in a winding down mode already


no idea what i will be wearing on that day Carl... honestly.

watched 2 matches last year, and i wore these 2

Murray Vs. Del Potro




Nadal vs. Soderling

I know Nadal and Söderling are not the best of friends and they play very differently indeed. Söderling; perhaps the fastest base line shots in the world and Nadal; perhaps the most curved base line shots in the world. The slugger versus the endurance player. No matter what, very fun to see!

I will be wearing my GMT IIc unless I get a Hublot until then!
