CBS is showing NFL pre-game and then a game, and ESPN2 has some kind of soccer event on and tennis says it's starting at 1PM ET, but Nadal starts at 12PM ET.

[SBR Lou]

Nevermind it's on ESPN2. They bumped the soccer.

Tennis will never go ahead of football

lou you and I and a few tennis fans might be only people in country watching.

Thank the lord it's on ESPN2. CBS has dropped the ball on US Open coverage this year. I don't know what the contract is, but they didn't show shit at night on the weekends. USA Network was the best.

This guy is so much better than nadal it is not even funny

[ZXCVBNM]

As a soccer and tennis fan, I'm glad they bumped the soccer for this! Gijon vs Almeria is no one's idea of a heavyweight matchup. They made the right call.

I'm mostly watching football, but checking in on tennis occasionally.

Wasn't that interested in Nadal/Del Potro.

Federer/Djokovic should be great.

Federer in 4, Yisman?

[yisman]

so a two hour break between the two semifinals

[SBR Lou]

I say Federer in 3 now after he hears of Nadal being dispatched in straights, he knows Nadal will be following.

[yisman]

Federer in 4, Yisman?

hard to say. I'm not going to make any predictions other than Djokovic will be competitive.

It'll be a tough battle for him, but he has a shot and he's worth a bet at +350.

Also consider Djokovic + the games and over the total.

I'm predicting more than three sets.

[yisman]

Del Potro will have an excellent chance whether he faces Federer or Djokovic, because he'll be well rested, while the other will be coming off a 2 hour+ match.

I would rather watch these tennis matches than the first week of football, any day of the week! I am flipping back and forth the to everything today. How can you not watch the tennis is beyond me....

[yisman]

well, I'm glad it worked out like this, because I'm not that interested in the 4 PM football games, and I can't wait to watch Fed/Djok.

here we go
