WHERE IS THE NY OPEN TENNIS TELEVISED?

[elleng]

[Call Me Wesley]

1. I DON'T KNOW! (NT)

[elleng]

2. CBS, now.

[cwydro]

4. Lol, I meant CBS

Tennis channel has it too I think and usopen.org has been live streaming.

Keep me posted; I can't watch right now.

[cwydro]

3. I THINK

ON NBC.

LOL.

[elleng]

5. Was NBC yesterday; rain > CBS today. 'Public service!'

[cwydro]

6. Lol, way to go CBS.

Who is your pick?

Nadal or Djokovic?

[elleng]

7. My friend, for whom I asked, says, Nadal.

[cwydro]

8. Me too.

But on the hard courts...it could go to Djokovic. He has beaten Nadal before.

I hope Rafa's knees hold up.

[elleng]

9. Looks like ankle issue.

[cwydro]

10. oh no!

what is up? what's the score?

[elleng]

11. rain

2d set, 4each/30 each.

[July]

14. Ankle issue is for Djokovic.

Started early in the match.

[elleng]

17. Right; noticed that. Nadal just frustrated!

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. My understanding is that when play resumes, ESPN2 will pick it up

CBS will show regular prime time programming

[elleng]

16. Thanks. Light thunderstorm/Rain now. NASCAR otherwise!

Back to the news!

[July]

13. Will be on ESPN2 NOT BEFORE 7:30

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).

[cwydro]

15. Oh cool,

I might get to see it after all.

4 all, 30 all, second set? Sweet!

[elleng]

18. Often have 'quick' rush-hour storms around here (dc).

Will see how long this lasts. Weatherunderground has light thunderstorm/rain in Flushing now.

Accompanied by a tennis fan/freak here!

[elleng]

19. GAME ON! 8:00, espn2.

[cwydro]

20. Still at work. Shit.

Lemme know what is happening...

[elleng]

21. Gee, its LATE!

1 set each, 5-4/30-15, Nadal struggling to take to tiebreaker.

(From my friend; I know NOTHING about tennis scoring!)

[cwydro]

23. well your friend is doing well lol.

good, it sounds like a close match so maybe it will go 5 sets and I will get to see it.

Djokovic still suffering with the ankle?

[elleng]

24. Haven't heard about ankle; playing fiercely.

Djk may lose serve (whatever that means!)

15th break point for Nadal.

[elleng]

22. 1 set each. Djk just won set.

[cwydro]

25. so two sets to 1 Djokovic?

Wow. That will fire up Rafa.

[elleng]

26. Nope, In 3d set, 1 set each. Nadal serving.

BOTH fired up, ready to go!

[cwydro]

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:

[elleng]

28. Will do; happy to help.

3d set, dj serving at 2-4. 4th duce.

dj's service 'has gone out of click,' according to my friend.

dj 'Cutting the angles better than a master seamstress on 7th ave.'

:shrug:

[cwydro]

29. Ooh, so Nadal broke him once already in this set?

(your friend will understand what I'm asking)

[elleng]

30. correct, and about to break it again,.

(he admires your understanding of tennis scoring! and what's your job?)

commercial break.

NOW, DJ serving at 40-15, 3-5.

5-4 Nadal serving at side change.

Whats the weather where you are??? 65 in Flushing.

[cwydro]

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.

[elleng]

32. I've never played, but I remember all those guys!

Standing ovations from crowd for these 2 samurais!

'Bull fighter has almost injured the bull; in the 4th set, the sword will be inserted.' (From my dear poet here!) bullfighter sweating bullets!

[cwydro]

33. 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?

[elleng]

34. No win yet; N has exhausted Dj.

Small planes, or the biggies?

Has NC ever produced a u.s. open caliber tennis player?

Betting on this stuff?

[cwydro]

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.

[elleng]

38. Announcers 'exclaiming' about the end of this match, how tired D is.

5-2 in 4th set.

D made a good point, evenso.
Its 10:03, and Nadal made the final winning point.

[cwydro]

39. Ah darn

Well I figured I'd miss it

[elleng]

40. Sorry, but its been a pleasure. Think any other DUers will read this thread???

:rofl:

:toast:

[cwydro]

41. Hey, I've enjoyed it.

You made a boring work night fun and kept me up on the match too!

Thank your friend for me too.

As far as other DUers reading it - lmao!

I bet we set a record for an epic tennis thread!

Still on my BB so no smilies, but imagine the little fist bump guys...

[elleng]

42. Gotcha!

:fistbump:

[cwydro]

43. Home finally!

Thanks for the updates and thank your friend again.

Reading back I realized I missed some stuff you posted.

85 degrees and humid here. Storms around.

Y'all have a great night and I'll see you on DU...

[elleng]

35. GREAT that your mom played!

My mother suggested that I try: 'Its such a nice game!' Me, I hate to sweat! (And had no inspiration to do any sports, in those days.)

[cwydro]

37. Mom got me and my sis into tennis

Plus we both swam too. She got into more team sports, while I liked the solitary ones like skiing and running.
