2012 ROGERS CUP - Montreal/Toronto - General Discussion Thread

[Tammo]

Haas - Steps is going to a 3rd set, Isner -Kohls is in a 1st set TB!

 

[jaggy]

Haas up a break in the 3rd, izzy down a set but up a break

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

gasquet and isner match the only ones scheduled tonight?

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Am I hearing Brad Gilbert right? The guys who finished their round of 16 are going back onto the court for their quarterfinal matches? Back-to-back matches?

At least Fish and Gasquet are coming back out for their quarterfinal match.

 

[jaggy]

Yea is Haas to go back on and face the djoke?

 

[Tammo]

Fish vs Gasquet is going to start. I suspect that they will try to get Raonic and Isner on. Probably Grannolers vs Tips too. Dunno about Haas vs Djokovic

 

[Down_the_line]

Quarterfinal match-ups set:

(1) Novak Djokovic vs. Tommy Haas

Marcel Granollers vs. (5) Janko Tipsarevic

(11) Mardy Fish vs. (14) Richard Gasquet

(8 ) John Isner vs. (16) Milos Raonic

THE GOAT OF GOATs is such a competitor, playing 2 matches in 1 day.

What an inspiration to others he truly is.

 

[Ico]

Aside from the fact that Djokovic stuck around, you'd have a tough time convincing me that this tournament is a Masters 1000 based on that draw.

Agreed, I've seen better draws in the 250s but what can you do with the Olympics just happening and when no-one turns up?

Feel sorry for fans really. :neutral:

Between the matches he was feeding the 5000

One of a kind this Djokovic fella is. There should be a NEW Bible entitled, "The Holy Nole".

Don't you agree?

wrong

the problem was Delpo, Tsonga, and Berdych losing, and Murray WO, otherwise except for Fed and Nadal, the best players on this surface were around

poor performance by some, yes, but that's to be expected after Olympics

 

[jesenk]

The first match tonight was supposed to be Djokovic V Haas. Did one of them withdraw?

 

[Down_the_line]

Fish up a break on Gasquet already, serving at 3-2 in the 1st.

I think the doubles match currently on might have something to do with this.

They're barely in the 2nd set and they've already played an hour.

 

[Down_the_line]

Gasquet breaks back to tie the set at 3.

Loving the Frenchman's game this week. So much talent but still yet to really break through.

 

[kishnabe]

Mardy Fishes to go all away! I mean all the way!

 

[jesenk]

But Fish V Gasquet was supposed to be second on Grandstand and it's been moved to first on Stadium...

Confused.

 

[romeo8880]

Neither guy can hold serve at the moment lol.

Okay, cool... maybe he's the main event?

 

[kishnabe]

Is it okay if Novak is on the grandstand and not centre court? Resurgent Haas and the World Number 2........should deserve more, no?

Side Note: Stop Whining Fish...first the court is wet, then the ballkids are doing something wrong, Hawkeye pissed him off and looking at the linesmen!

 

[Marius_Hancu]

I think the committee was right on Djoko. I guess this is what happened:

Djoko was initially 1st in night session on center
Then Haas finished too late, so Djoko had to be placed in 2nd match somewhere
But the 2nd slot on Center was taken by Isner Raonic since yesterday,
So Djoko had to go to Grandstand

Extraordinary circumstances, no slight to Djoko or Haas

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Did Fish lose weight?

Honestly mate, I don't have a clue what's going on.

Hopefully it's on soon though.

My brain hurts. :lol:

 

[MindoverMatter]

Raonic is going to crush Isner...extra rest + Isner just finished a 3 set match like an hour ago, and the tournament is home turf!

 

[Talker]

Looking forward to Isner vs. Raonic. They never played and I have no idea how they match up.

 

[TheF1Bob]

YES!!! THE GOAT OF GOATs match is about to begin.

It's in Grandstand too.

 

[Breaker]

Did Fish lose weight?

I'm not sure but if I were to give a rough estimate it would be that he lost 30 pounds or so, weird that it's never mentioned.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Novak at age 25 is gonna be against a guy ranked 25.

It's a conspiracy....

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Bob, do you have a stream for the GOATs' match against Haas?

 

[jaggy]

Tipsy moves on

 

[TheF1Bob]

Bob, do you have a stream for the GOATs' match against Haas?

Nah mate, watching the conclusion of the Fish/Gasquet match.

Hopefully it'll be shown after it.

[TheF1Bob]

Gasquet is on FIRE atm.

DAMN. :shock:

 

[Nostradamus]

Which is better ? Gasquet backhand vs Fish backhand ?

 

[Breaker]

Gasquet is on FIRE atm.

DAMN. :shock:

Played well but Fish ran out of energy after the first set, Monaco making him run 20 balls down every rally wore him out.

 

[Nostradamus]

Is this a JOKE ????????????? What the heck ? ESPN stopped broadcast with one of the best matches coming up. Who is covering Isner match ?

 

[TopDawg]

Haas had 3 break points on Djoker's first service game but couldn't get the break

 

[jaggy]

Gascket closes it out

 

[TheF1Bob]

Haas had 3 break points on Djoker's first service game but couldn't get the break

[Nostradamus]

Haas had 3 break points on Djoker's first service game but couldn't get the break

Very true, Monaco grinds you down like a Ferrer.

No worries.
