ATP 250 : Brisbane : Jan 4- 11

[Fedinkum]

I like Groth's persona, much like Pat Rafter's.

 

[Noleberic123]

Might as well give the trophy to fed now

 

[tennis_commentator]

Groth was quite impressive in that Federer match at the US Open (although Federer sucks, as we found out vs. Monfils and Cilic).
I see very good things in Groth's future.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I love your posts! :lol: The way you commentate

Haha thanks, what specifically do you like?

I love everything mate!

Wow if Federer sucks as you claim he does, I guess everyone else who's ranked below him sucks even more :-?

And I guess since Federer sucked vs Cilic, so does everyone else was @ USOpen 2014 since he became a GS Champion.

Can you stop being an idiot and just enjoy the sport?

 

[Beacon Hill]

Hoping Dolgo has a good year finally.

Enjoy watching his game. No longer a fan after his bigoted comments off the court.

What bigoted comments that Dologopolov said?

I'm curious about that one.

Lots of articles if you Google it. He made disparaging remarks about homosexuals.

 

[Wynter]

Alas poor Lleyton

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Safin is also a homophobe, yet he got plenty of fans, go figure.

Dolgopolov beats a poor version (but fighting as always) of Berlocq: 6-2 6-3.

 

[norcal]

Well Dog looks like a chick...so maybe he has to spout homophobic garbage to convince girls he's not into guys...

Nadal sucks too (as we found out vs. Kyrgios, Coric, Klizan, Lopez, Berrer).
The difference was that Monfils and Cilic were GOATing, while Nadal prefers to lose to no-hopers in the 1R.

Seriously, could you even write an easier comment to attack?
That was a sitter. :lol:

Right, but do not forget that majestic (?) match against Robredo in US Open 2013. Worst match I have seen from him in ages!

 

[tennisenthusiast]

any good streams?

 

[Wynter]

Tomic vs Kokkinakis tonight, should be fun

 

[Wynter]

any good streams?

Check Sportlemon mate

Terrible line umpiring in the Dolgo/Klizan match.

Yes, Safin becoming a Putin-supporting devout Muslim is somewhat surprising.

 

[Vensai]

Jeremy Chardy is in control against Grigor Dimitrov. A possible upset in the works.

 

[chjtennis]

Voted for Roger but Nishi will give him trouble.

So frustrating to pay attention to Dimitrov. He should be winning these matches.

 

[smoledman]

TennisTv feels like a ripoff at times. They're not showing the men's tournament until Jan 9th.

 

[Vensai]

Dimitrov certainly has the talent to succeed. But for numerous reasons, he is not able to consistently play at a high level like he did at Wimbledon.

 

[cc0509]

I think the winner of the title will be either Federer or Nishikori.

I think people are barking up the wrong tree with Dimitrov and expecting too much. He is a top ten type of guy but I don't see him going out and winning multiple slams.

 

[Vensai]

Kei Nishikori looks alright so far. I have no idea what Roger Federer's form is right now so I would wait until he plays a match to judge his level.

Yes, that is true.

I agree with your assessment. Grigor Dimitrov's potential is somewhat inflated due to the comparisons between himself and Roger Federer. He really has not done anything beyond what the likes of Milos Raonic or Kei Nishikori have accomplished, but who do not receive as much hype.

 

[-snake-]

Dimitrov can't handle the power like the original Fed, that's why he looks a bit hepless against the big hitters.

 

[Vensai]

Grigor Dimitrov's looking for a comeback. Tied one set a piece now.

 

[tennisbuck]

Klizan with a nice two wins to start the season. Top 20 by the end of the year mark my words

Yes, that comparison has not done him any favors personally. The Federer comparison has only helped him gain endorsement opportunities and enabled the ATP to push him as the next big thing. They need to have somebody marketable to promote the game from the younger generation.

 

[TrustTheNinja]

Got a good feeling Chardy's about to sneak this one out

Looking at their head to head record, Jeremy Chardy has given Grigor Dimitrov tough matches in the past. He straight setted him at Roland Garros and took him to five sets at the Australian Open.

Damnit, i don't see Chardy winning in a TB tho

 

[coolschreiber]

Dimitrov is overhyped ... But in his defense Chardy is a very tough customer

 

[coolschreiber]

Tie break .... Buckle up guys.. Come on Dimi!!!!

 

[TrustTheNinja]

Chardy down 4-2 but still has a chance..

 

[coolschreiber]

Indeed he does Dimi df .....god!!

 

[TrustTheNinja]

What a point! MP Chardy

 

[coolschreiber]

Chokefest!!!!

 

[TrustTheNinja]

Chardy and Dimitrov... similar yet different

 

[coolschreiber]

Dimitrovs shot selection sometimes makes me wanna stop watching tennis

 

[coolschreiber]

And Chardy outchokes Dimi... Never staying up to watch tennis again .. Good night ninja

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Yes yes yes!
Dimi stays alive!

Dunno why, but I dislike Chardy.

 

[Russeljones]

Grigor does it the hardest way imaginable blowing a host of break chances.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Two great points from Kokki to start the clash of youngsters.

 

[Wynter]

Tomic I/O Forehand, nice movement

Nice point there, Kokkinakis lob was class

 

[Wynter]

Lovely CC FH by Tomic, moved really well then.

2-2 Very Tight match so far
