With temperatures soaring into the 100s on the blue griddle that is the US Open hard courts (with humidity to boot), yesterday's first round action was a physical and mental test for many. Sure it ain't Pennsylvania, but trust me, the weather ain't that different here in New York.
In a total surprise, the Djoker passed the test due to the mercy of shade in the 5th set and actually outlasted his fellow countrymen Viktor
I won't comment on his on-court interview as others already have (here and here).
Nails had the match under her control after the 1st set, but couldn't adjust to KBond cleaning up her game. According to Virginia Wade who was commenting the match, Nails just brain farted and couldn't back away brainless ball bashing. Even a hacker like me knows that the ball will fly in hot and humid conditions, and that you have to play patient tennis in those conditions. I hate you Nails; you were supposed to make the semis to take out Caro.
Bags shouldn't have played New Haven despite his promise to return them a favor.
Lady JaJa survived and didn't look all glittery against Breast Reduction Gal.
The Force is with young Gulbis but he is not a Jedi yet.
Benneteau evoked Sampras, splling his guts in the midst of the match but closed it out to beat the Sex.
