US open
 
Been watching alot of matches recently, and neither Federer or Nadal have impressed me, Federer looks like lacking confidence, and Nadal looks tired, maybe Roddick can step up this year?
It looks pretty open to me.
:D

Was wondering if anyone saw the REAL SPORTS segment last week discussing all the corruption and cheating (gambling) in professional tennis.

It was quite interesting really. I never knew the sport was that messed up.

Makes you wonder why though, they don't just change the rules that ALL matches are counted against the players seat position rather than just the big tournaments and the matches that the player wants to have counted.

It would seem that changing the rule could almost wipe out most of the unethical gambling and tanking practices in professional tennis..

Believe you me QS, I thought the same thing... But despite our opinions on the matter, TENNIS is the number 3 sport in the world that is gambled on behind: Soccer and Horse Racing..

So while it may not seem like a big deal to us, clearly it is a big deal to lots of other people.

Didn't know it was that bad?
:dunno:
I guess it's present in almost every sport that has a lot of money in them.
:(
I saw Federer yesterday, didn't impress me.
Out of the four QF, i predict
Nadal to beat Fish.
Murray to beat Potro
The other half
Federer to beat Muller
Roddick to beat Djokovick
So SF should look like this
Nadal vs Murray
Federer vs Roddick.
And the final nadal vs Roddick.
I take my chances on Roddick in the final, he seems to be more hungry, and not so tired as those OG guys imo.
:D
