2014 ATP 250 Gerry Weber Open -- Halle

[Russeljones]

With Nadal and Karlovic out, Federer would be fancying his chances now.

 

[Enigma]

Falla breaks back in the second for 5 all!

Now Gojocwcwcwczyk (who made up this name?) is serving to stay in the tournament at 5-6.

 

[Russeljones]

Falla wins it in 2 tiebreaks.

With Nadal and Karlovic out, Federer would be fancying his chances now.

No way on earth the clay man beats roger on a fast grass surface like halle, but then its roger and you never know when he gifts the match to his opponents.

Just now I noticed that the linespeople wear suits.

This is Deutschland. They invented order.

 

[PeteD]

Brown is so relaxed. Maybe too relaxed. 1st set Kohlie.

 

[Rozroz]

Brown will take the 2nd

 

[PeteD]

This is just like with Nadal -- 2nd set he's man of iron!

 

[Rozroz]

well, i hate him when he starts spraying DFs.
i find it extremely hard to root for these kind of clowns.

 

[PeteD]

Doesn't always use a 2nd serve?

 

[Rozroz]

what an idiot.

 

[Rozroz]

he's a complete and utter mental mess, this clown.

 

[Rozroz]

yes! at least he took the 2nd set.

 

[Rock Strongo]

He didn't break serve, he demolished serve there.

 

[romeo8880]

Dustin brown is not a professional player.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Dustin brown is not a professional player.

He got me money yesterday, I can't complain.

 

[ruerooo]

yes! at least he took the 2nd set.

Your ... comments are making you look a little unbalanced yourself.

:lol:

Slow your roll, maybe?

 

[romeo8880]

Nice. Nadal will be out early at Wimbledon with performances like that.

 

[PeteD]

Nishi better get ready

 

[PeteD]

He got me money yesterday, I can't complain.

You're a brave man. Excuse my asking, what odds did you get against Nadal?

 

[Russeljones]

Oh my, Brown breaks back in the 12th hour. 5-5 in the third now.

 

[Rock Strongo]

You're a brave man. Excuse my asking, what odds did you get against Nadal?

5.00. Bet 6€.

 

[PeteD]

5.00. Bet 6€.

Niiiiice!!!

 

[Deleted member 21996]

Maybe the fact it's true played a part.

in that case i can tell you that, having watched him grow as a ténis player (he was born in a city 20 miles from mine) he is nowhere near a clay specialist...

not even his favourite surface!

so how exactly is it that your (or his opinions) are suddenly true? unless you think your opinion = fact!

 

[Russeljones]

a tiebreak to decide Brown vs Kohlschreiber

 

[Rozroz]

Your ... comments are making you look a little unbalanced yourself.

:lol:

Slow your roll, maybe?

his kind make me unbalanced
i don't have patience for

 

[Rozroz]

he will lose the TB with his stupid DFs

 

[Sid_Vicious]

This is a massive servefest

 

[PeteD]

Brown how many times can he trow it away

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Terrible quality. Brown isn't even trying to return the ball inside the court. He just takes a wild cut and misses it by 15 feet.

EDIT: YES! Minibreak. C'mon Kohl, put this terrible show to an end.

 

[Russeljones]

18-16? Sheeesh

 

[Rozroz]

told ya....

 

[Omega_7000]

This confirms Nadal tanked his match against Brown...

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Feel bad for Brown. He really wanted it and walked off the court with his head down.

He just has a very poor return game. You can only bank on those wild swings so much.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Nadal should have been fined for "lack of effort" vs Brown.

Dustin was going to win anyway but...Nadal didn't give two..

 

[marc45]

18-16? Sheeesh

missed the whole thing working out, must have been something

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Federer gets a walk over. Not good.

 

[easywin]

Great ... I'm in Halle right now and get that information from the TW-forums

 

[FedererDropShot]

Federer gets a walk over. Not good.

Roger has had doubles at Halle so he's practised enough on grass to adjust tbh.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

Go Steve J! Had a chance to bag the 2nd. Close.

 

[monfed]

Awwww come on!! Really wanted to see Fed play his beautiful tennis on grass again. He was really ripping his serves with his new racquet.

 

[edberg volleys]

Federer gets a walk over. Not good.

I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Too bad. F.uck.! He needs match practice before W. Hopefufully he's gonna play Ninja in the semis.

 

[edberg volleys]

Ah, ok, didn't know that. Ty for info!

 

[urundai]

Agreed. W.O sucks always .

Hopefully, the doubles matches gave him enough.

 

[Down_the_line]

Great tiebreak in the 3rd set between Brown and Kohlschreiber. Not a fan of Brown at all but I won't lie, I was entertained at certain points in that match.

Semifinals:

Philipp Kohlschreiber
vs.
Alejandro Falla

Kei Nishikori [4]
vs.
Roger Federer [2]


I like Kohlschreiber to come out on top in his match, though Falla is playing solid tennis this week. Watched both his matches.

As for Federer vs Nishikori, no idea. Federer should win but you just never know with him these days and plus, Nishikori is no pushover. I'll take Federer to win though.

I don't think Federer will win, unfortunately. That said, I'd not be upset to see Kei win - I like him as a player. I think Fed might just get his gremlins back at key moments after losing twice to Kei the last two times.

 

[tlm]

I can't believe brown lost I thought he was going to win this and wimbledon the way all the haters were talking.
