Well done by Kyrgios but I'd expect Raonic to clean him up. Nadal's power ground game is easier to counter on grass than Raonic's big serve and willingness to approach the net.

What does annoy me was how Kyrgios was seen as the toast of the country a day before, by defeating Nadal the night before. Without even thinking about or celebrating taming Nadal, hes out of the tournament. Almost in the same breath

Raonic was better equipped to cope with the shortturn around whilst Kgryios has only played a couple of grand slam matches to date.

No shit. That's apparent because he won. You act like Kyrgios has never played games of tennis on consecutive days before in his life.

Against the World #1 and the 8th seed of the greatest Tennis tournament there is; probably not no.

Whoever does the scheduling in England needs to be shot. First weekend of TDF, Silverstone and Wimbledon final all on the same weekend is stupid.

The US Open is on right now :-({|=

The day time sessions are on at an unreasonable waking time, but the night sessions (6pm session onwards from New York City) are great to watch in Australia, with the last match of the evening session finishing around 2pm (midnight their time)

Unfortunately most of us are at work when this is all happening :-k

And Jack Sock must have the worst name in world sport, in that he hasnt won jackshit 8-[

I tend to agree. However, Kyrgios is exciting to watch and doesn't give up, unlike Tomic, which is why everyone has taken to him. I do agree though, if Tomic said the same stuff as Kyrgios, everyone would be up in arms.

But think about it, youre going to have to be if youre going to challenge the might of Euro legends in the likes of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, among others!
Those guys are the masters of playing the mind games, and at the highest level tennis is a game of wills as well as ability

and, for the first time in a decade, there is a men's singles final to not feature nadal, djokovic, federer and murray

Cilic has always had the game to win a grand slam or go deep in one at least, hes derailed himself a couple of times, getting a ban for doping

and Nishikori is your typical a crazy extreme sportsman, there will be questions on his longevity with the way he plays, he has to do everything, at full functionality

My wife and I were flicking through the channels and saw she was leading 3-0 in the final set and my wife said "she'll choke"

We both chuckled and went to bed.

Now I feel bad.

Watching a replay of the 05 Quarter final between Hewitt and Nalbandian, what a match. =d> =d> =d>

Some terrible calls in this match though.

Despite not being well liked man has Hewitt been in some epics.
