Fan in Chicago Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 yeah, i was pulling for Serena, I really want to see her win the grand slam, but if she was going to lose, losing to Venus would have been a fairy tale sports story, as they were saying Venus could have 'cruised' to the championship based on who's left in the field. What a great moment at the end when Venus hugged Serena really hard, that was awesome! hence my constant lament at the fate of Women's tennis. This year it is a competition to be the one who will be slaughtered at the altar of Serena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Average secondary market ticket price for the women's final down nearly 60% and falling from yesterday's record levels.

shrader Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm glad she lost. It was getting annoying how people had already crowned her even though she still had to win two more matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Personally, I'd rather see an all American Final at the US Open. This is the next best thing. If we are giving preferences, I would prefer an all nude women's final at the US Open Well, maybe this is the best thing of all--depending on who makes the final.

bbb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 For those who didn't click. It's the James Blake video. I don't see what the deal is - he looked exactly like the guy who was getting ID'd. And, Blake says he was body slammed. It looks to me like the cop made sure he didn't get hurt by the way he brought him down to the ground. Body slam, my ass. Why didn't he have any injuries?

But even that guy might not be the right guy. Besides, Blake was tackled (the suspect wasn't known to be violent). Cop never identified himself, and has history of excessive violence. Given the situation, it looked to be excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
