Grosjean vs. The Kief

Andy Hewitt · 01-24-2006, 01:02 PM

Should be a good match that I dont think they are showing on ESPN... I say Kief takes it but I want Grosjean to win.

Grosjean > Kiefer
Frenchie has had better results in slams.
Also I think he will win, that's the deciding factor.

oscar_2424 · 01-24-2006, 04:27 PM

they are one set a piece

Noelle · 01-24-2006, 05:46 PM

Kiefer is down 1-4 in the fourth set, but he won the third. I think this will go to a fifth.

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 06:06 PM

broke back 4*:5 it's an intensive match - no high quality but mentally exhausting

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 06:08 PM

phew 5 all after 0:30 down
Kiefer's first service is none existent in this match

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 06:18 PM

and it goes to a TB after Kiefer saved a SP

Andy Hewitt · 01-24-2006, 06:26 PM

Oui! 5th set!

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 06:32 PM

now going into a 5th

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 07:05 PM

...those linesman today don't have an easy work... 3:2 Kiefer in the 5th

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 07:45 PM

Ok this match has it all: antics, questionable linecalls, great points etc. 6 all I really don't know who will win it now...

Shabazza · 01-24-2006, 08:05 PM

OK, there will be a lot of talk about this match
Kiefer wins 6:4 0:6 6:4 6:7 8:6 this was a perfect example on how to win "ugly"

Didn't show this match over here, but i've been following the score and comments on the plays and i agree that Kiefer's action (thrown racquet) will attract a lot of attention in the press.

This has ruined my predictions now. I was correct about Baghdatis, Nalbandian and (most possibly) Federer and Grosjean was my other pick. Ah well...

Andy Hewitt · 01-24-2006, 09:00 PM

Poor Grosjean =(. But on the bright side, Grosjean has absolutely NO chance of beating Federer. So it all works out.

Perfect example of how to steal a match. He should defaut and give the match to Grosian.

I think Kiefer read the Brad Gilbert's book "Winning Ugly"

rilokiley · 01-24-2006, 10:35 PM

anyone have a video clip of this little incident?

BG would not -- and did not -- endorse Kiefer's behavior. As someone said in another thread, there's a difference between winning ugly and winning dirty.

Gilbert was pretty exercised about it, in fact. He said it was the opposite of sportsmanlike and the ump and ref ought to be shown the door for handling the incident so poorly.

Sorry, this is a bit late, but for those who haven't seen it,
