after a day none of SF threads made it to 200 posts the only QF that was somehow discussed was a double bagel...
i'm not asking is it the worst slam, just doesn't it seem the most dull? wimbledon had lots of upsets and a new winner, FO and AO were both miles ahead.
Results from QF and SF:
64 67 62
60 60
64 61
62 63
60 63
64 62
the final set never went further than 63, only one somewhat leveled match, could it be any worse? Vika and Serena are probably paid now by WTA to play an entertaining 3 setter.
All the slams this year have been underwhelming.
Wimbledon probably got the most attention because of all the seeds flopping, everyone falling over, Serena being beat by Lisicki and Marion coming out of nowhere and snatching a win. AO was known more for it's injuries :lol: and Maria's double bagels. RG had Sveta/Rena Maria/Vika and USO has had flops and uninteresting matches. IMO the most dramatic was Vee/Zheng and Vika/Ajde. Only a three setter final will save the USO but in terms of drama I'd say
The only thing I'd add is for a Brit, the time difference at the USO and the scheduling makes it difficult to watch live. I think it's actually even worse than the AO.
Hard to say, but I'm personally disappointed by the fact Serena and Vika weren't more challenged than that.
The attitude of Alizé Cornet winning the first set against Vika remains one of the best moments to me. She may not be a Top 10 player, but certainly has a Top 3 fighting spirit. Found her first serves on crucial points in Serena fashion. Now that was entertaining. Too bad she didn't win the match. There was like a difference of size somehow. I would enjoy a lot to see her doing better and better in the future, if no injury occurs. She's a treat.
I'm sure we get these sorts of threads on GM during every Grand Slam. The US Open is my least favourite Grand Slam but even so, I've probably seen more good matches here than I have at the other GSs but that could be down to the fact I've had more spare time to watch compared to the other GSs...
This year, yes. I'd say Wimbledon was the most exciting this year just for the unpredictability, but really, this hasn't been the most interesting year for Slams.
Serena winning the French again was also a good story
