#1 Posted: 9/8/2012 12:35:07 PM For the love of God...Build a court with a roof. It doesn't have to be Ashe although that would be preferred. Change the schedule from Super Saturday, Sunday finish. Between the ridiculous scheduling, rain, wind, you almost never get a final weekend where the Tennis is the only story. Always some other factor which usually creates mediocre tennis on Saturday and more times then not a mediocre final. Thanks.

#2 Posted: 9/8/2012 12:37:29 PM Like seriously, look at the friggin wind on the court. No way any of these matches are going to produce anything but unforced error fests. It's not just this year, it's every year. Windiest stadium on the planet.

#5 Posted: 9/8/2012 12:44:16 PM Garbage tennis. Berdych's girlfriend and wagers are the only reason to watch. |

#8 Posted: 9/8/2012 12:57:25 PM Hats blowing off and costing breaks of serve. This is a friggin circus. Murray is an idiot for agreeing to replay the point. Classy, but stupid. No way Berdych was getting to that ball hat or no hat. |

#11 Posted: 9/8/2012 1:00:44 PM Good news is this is going to bring change. I'll bet $$$ we hear an announcement about plans to build or add to Ashe with a retractable roof stadium in the near future. |

It worked, I don't blame him. I blame Murray for agreeing, the ump was giving Murray the point. |

#20 Posted: 9/8/2012 1:43:43 PM Berdych wins the first set and the wind has more to do with it then anything.

They want the Sunday final badly. Berdych has to be in Argentina for Davis Cup mid-week. |

#24 Posted: 9/8/2012 10:25:12 PM What an absolute joke of a day. Berdych must be Sick. Why the darn even start Super Shitty Saturday? Weather for Sunday looked great, should have just moved it to Super Sunday with Monday final. Djokovic must also be pissed. Shameful.

#25 Posted: 9/8/2012 11:23:25 PM You can't tell me the wind wasn't the biggest factor in the Murray/Berdych match. It was, those opportunities are few and far between. USTA blew it big time. |
