Tennis 2014

[Fowl an Sic]

Didn't think it worth starting a new thread. Besides, his victory this year was as much about 2013. His AO quarter-final in 2013 against Djokovic laid the foundation. Best tennis match I've watched and announced to anyone who had eyes to see that Stan had arrived.

Can a mod please change the title of the thread? Remove 2013, or something?
@Goon, @marquisite , @Tim - somebody???

Because - you know, no point in a new thread, we need an uplate chat spot to cheer on Nick the giant killer.
Wow - 37 aces!
The always awesome through the legs shot.

And his family is fun

From this point forward I'll anoint him as Nick the Matador who tamed the wily Spanish Bull.

That cool shot....

OMG he's just a kid!
Same age as the big kid in our house - with big dreams too

Fowl an Sic (aka Canis Lupus) would love this.

Well done to Stosur, who won the mixed doubles!

Fantastic mens final - another classic. And another one sided underwhelming dissapointment for the women - absolutely ridiculous they pocket the same prize money when you're getting 6-0 sets in a final. Really think they should begin trialing 5 set matches for the women as best of 3's tend to just be walkovers.

Highlight of the weekend though was probably the Mens Doubles Final - absolutely brilliant.

I forgive the women's final for being such a dissapointment (not that it was a surprise) only because of the gorgeous Miss Bouchard graced us with her presence. Her beauty alone made up for half the cost of the ticket price.
