Tennis channel has it too I think and usopen.org has been live streaming.
Keep me posted; I can't watch right now.

But on the hard courts...it could go to Djokovic. He has beaten Nadal before.
I hope Rafa's knees hold up.

12. My understanding is that when play resumes, ESPN2 will pick it up |
|
CBS will show regular prime time programming

According to Dick Enberg at the end of the CBS broadcast.
I'm about 30 miles away, and it's still raining here, but weather.com shows a system that's only about 60-80 miles west of here, and then clear. I'm guessing it'll be an hour and a half from now (8:15ish), unless they postpone till tomorrow. My own guess is that they'll want to finish today if possible.
Yes, I'm a tennis fan (or freak).

Djokovic still suffering with the ankle?

27. Oh ok...I'm at the end of a long work marathon... |

my reading comprehension skills are suffering.
But that is even better. Almost outta here, quick trip to the store and maybe I will catch some of the match.
Anything dramatic happens in the next 30 minutes, clue me in. And I do appreciate the updates!:bounce:

31. Lol, well I grew up playing tennis |
|
and been a longtime fan. My mom was a Seniors' doubles champ in NC into her late 60's.
We watched Rosewall even back in the day, though I was very young then. I was playing when Martina and Chrissie were champions. Johnny Mac and Connors and all that group.
I work for an airline. We're waiting for the last flight to get in from Tampa. I can see his lights lol.

I'm waiting for someone to comment in the "is anything more boring than watching tennis on tv thread" - that yes, reading one person updating another on tennis match on DU is...:rofl:
Plane will be on the ground soon and I'll have to go work it...Nadal win the set yet?

Small planes, or the biggies?
Has NC ever produced a u.s. open caliber tennis player?
Betting on this stuff?

36. I think Isner is from NC..? |
|
I might be wrong on that.
No one else comes to mind. There was a guy from my tennis team who went pro, but he was always a journeyman player. Made a living though, so hey! Eventually became a teaching pro.
I would have to have money to bet on it lol. My mom and I like to watch together usually, but she's never learned computer chat. I'll probably be up to visit her this week and we'll get to rehash it though.
The plane has landed (regional turbo-props) and I'm making a quick dash to the store, hopefully home in time to catch a bit.
I live a bit up the Keys, so feel free to keep me posted. I'll have the Blackberry dialed in to DU.

5-2 in 4th set.
D made a good point, evenso. Its 10:03, and Nadal made the final winning point.
