What did I miss? Monfils tanking?

No way. Even serial tanker Gael Monfils doesn't tank in the semis of the US Open.

Quite possible. His entire career he's been a top 20 guy with top 5 talent. There's a reason for that discrepancy.

Exhibit A: serving and volleying on a 90 mph second serve to the best returner in the history of the sport.

Monfils is completely out of gas.

Is the lack of match time affecting Joker?

These guys are both shot.

As long as he doesn't win a grueling five setter, I like his chances. Djokovic looked beatable.

I don't see Stan being able to hit his monster shots against a guy like Kei. Hopefully it will be over in 4.

Just realized why I felt anxious when I saw Kei just now. This guy used to kick my arse.

I chuckled aloud.

I actually think that Piston Honda had the exact same body as Tyson. Similarly, I believe Glass Joe and Don Flamenco had the same body.

Great game. I never did beat Tyson.

This worked out well. I just wanted Gael to extend the first match a bit and have this second be a dogfight so I could see the last two sets. Stan looked like he was about to pull away, but Kei just broke before some rain hit and now they are closing the roof.

Nothing you can do when the body won't go anymore.

The funny thing is, Kei looked dead at the start of the fourth. He breaks to get it on serve, roof closes and the court is 20 less degrees, and I think he had triple break point at 4 all. Everthing was going his way. He's been flat ever since he didn't convert there.
