Re: The No Expectations US Open Thread
I watched all of Gaston's match. He did really well - I just love his game - he moves so well, and love that bh. And he was pretty calm today.
Got some pictures but haven't downloaded them yet. And I think I got a great video of him at his chair taking down his hair and putting it back up again - very lovely sight.  
I'll put up the pictures in the next couple of days if they came out good. |

Yes, you are right, he does have to play big Sam.

Re: The No Expectations US Open Thread
Congrats!
Any thoughts about big Sam? He may be quite danger with his serve,
but I'm still not sure if he can keep the pressure through the best of 5 match. And again, you never know with Gaston |

Re: The No Expectations US Open Thread
Big Sam has a very good future, solid from the baseline and very suited to these conditions more so than Gaston is.

That's right George, but Gatson has much more experience.

Re: The No Expectations US Open Thread
Gaston can lose to anyone, so the experience won't be that much of a factor here. Big Sam has a very good temperament and has everything in his favour and he has been playing and winning matches.
