US Open 2012

SERVE!

I figured you meant that....but you never know....

BTW - Nadal is an isolated case of a BULL of a man that SHOULD serve better doing it for one tournament. You are not suggesting this something that can be done by anyone, let alone a WS player?

Till this day no one has the answer for that serve and where it is now...

Roger's forehand is not super strong, I mean he hit a 105 mph once but these speeds are only measured on winners and only in the bigger tournaments. Placement and shot length makes up for it though. It's always impressive for me to see relatively small players like Almagro or Gonzo hitting so hard.

[djarvik]

I feel Roger could be a good one, no ? At least with his Fh... Isn't he trying to shorten the rallies by hitting stronger sooner ?

I think roger is reasonable strong, but not as strong as others. What sets him apart is the precision and consistency. YES, consistency. Some may say he shanks a lot, but he also goes for more extreme shots a lot. So he is the most consistent in producing "effective" shots if you will.

And it's not that Nadal has only served big at the US Open 2010. He did not serve bigger there than he did at his great Wimbledon runs (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011).

Haha ! Ok I trust you guys... I just felt he was hitting stronger recently... Just my imagination... ^^
Jo-Will then !

[Corbon]

Actually his fastest average serve speed and his fastest ever (135 mph) were at the USO 2010.

But maybe you can answer this question, djarvik: If Gulbis was named after the famous American author then why the hell is his name Ernests?

Tsonga Babonga would be in my Top 5 hitters as well.

[Corbon]

Wow did you see that challenge, the linesmen suck asses and the umpire just doesn't give a crap.

[Amazing Matheja]

The "s" is for for "Shagg 'em all"

[djarvik]

Latvian twist I guess.

Jo-Will can hit the lights out. He certainly is built to have the strongest forehand, he is a freaking Rugby player, not tennis. Not sure why he cant do it contently like Rog and Delpo.

[djarvik]

He is coming back

[TomBs]

Wait, what?! Is he really coming back from 2 sets down? What has happened to him, is he mentally ill or so?

[GarnZypresse643]

Gulbis is going to lose in the next round.

[djarvik]

Nice first post!

[Amazing Matheja]

Gulbis did NOT win...

[Coolhand Texas]

are you kidding my haas??? I go to the gym when you are up 2 sets and when I come back he loses in 5. Did the world end??


By the way it looks robson is tightening up. Can she calm the nerves to put an end to clisjters??
