2014 French Open General Discussion Thread

Wow! What a shot by Dimitry

I thought it was out.

 

[W.P. Mayhew]

A Virtua Tennis rally would be people diving everywhere.

And some awful techno music pumping everywhere; something you hear everyday on tennis matches.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Standby for a repeat of Wimbledon 2013. :lol:

 

[underground]

Yeah cheers Fed for wasting 4 SPs.

 

[Warmaster]

Federer is just not feeling it in the tiebreaks this year. He's lost more than he won now :shock:


Tursunov deserves a set though, Fed not good enough.

 

[Chanwan]

Nice to see Tursunov putting up a fight

two very close sets. Fed missed some chances to close it out (0-40 at 5-6) and a very makeable forehand pass in the TB to go up a double break that he put right back to Tursonov), but overall, I'm very impressed with Tursonov. And what a way to close it out with that forehand DTL!

 

[maxrenn]

And ITV go back to Lenglen

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

 

[NADALRECORD]

Djokovic camp hopes are high now, with Federer losing a set.

 

[m2nk2]

Break point for Fed

 

[jm1980]

BPs come and go for Fed

 

[m2nk2]

And ITV go back to Lenglen

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I know right. We now got a good match on centre court with Federer. And they go back to watch Djoko win easily against a journeyman...

 

[jm1980]

OMFG what a shot

 

[GTturbo16v]

wow! tursunov fh dtl! just WOW!

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Hahaha, the way Isner towers over Robredo at the net is amazing. He's almost twice his size.

 

[Emiliano55]

Federer playing horrible. His movement and reflects are really poor. He showed the same signs vs the argentinian young kid last round.

Losing and go home to recover the training he lost due to the kids might not be a bad idea for him, especially looking at Wimbledon.

 

[Gonzo_style]

OMFG what a shot

yes, amazing shot, Fed still in this game

 

[maxrenn]

Federer breaks don't know how cos of ITV

 

[Gonzo_style]

Fed breaks

 

[jm1980]

Seeing Fed struggling to break, Tursunov generously gifts him 4 DFs in one game

 

[Djokovic2011]

And ITV go back to Lenglen

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I feel sorry for you guys that don't have Eurosport.

 

[ledwix]

Federer actually played aggressive on a break point. First time in the match, crazy.

 

[m2nk2]

And ITV go back to Lenglen

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I bought Eurosport now. It's 6 quid for a month, worth it imo.

 

[cronus]

nice! roger needs to lose early

 

[underground]

Missed the start of the 3rd due to a quick lunch but as I expected Fed takes an early break (hopefully will cruise and run away with it)

No Fed's playing better than the 2nd round, he's been more consistent in rallies and less shanks.

 

[jm1980]

Federer will run away with it now

 

[maxrenn]

I feel sorry for you guys that don't have Eurosport.

I bought it last year for the French and they still only showed 1 court and not what I wanted!

Only in mainland Europe did they have many courts!

 

[TheF1Bob]

Fed will win this match quite comfortably now.

Novak will lose a set in his me thinks.

 

[m2nk2]

nice! roger needs to lose early

Well, Edberg just arrived in Paris so that wont happen!

 

[TCG]

Didnt Fed win the second set in the tie breaker? Why is the score board showing 7-6 to Tusnov?

 

[jm1980]

Didnt Fed win the second set in the tie breaker? Why is the score board showing 7-6 to Tusnov?

Because Fed lost the second set TB

 

[maxrenn]

0-30, 2nd serve Cilic sends a ball into the stands

/facepalm

You try having 4 kids at home especially newborns.

Even with all the expensive Nanny's, Mirka taking care of them, etc... there is no way those kids aren't on his mind and somehow affecting his sleep patterns.

It would just be shocking if Federer were able to win another major or make a major final with that many distractions at home... No one has won a major with 4 children I bet...

 

[underground]

MTO from Tursunov. :lol:

 

[W.P. Mayhew]

Tursunov mixing his drink on court. Greatness. And taking a MTO.

 

[m2nk2]

Tursunov was really angry in that change over.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Tursunov doing a Capy.

 

[jm1980]

Sloppy, very sloppy from Novak

Cilic breaks for 4-2

 

[GTturbo16v]

Cilic break for 4 2

 

[TheF1Bob]

I'm actually amazed by the scoreline in the first 2 sets of the Djokovic/Cilic match.

Novak has been terrible.

 

[underground]

Tursunov was really angry in that change over.

What was he angry about?

 

[Russeljones]

Cilic man, get it together!

 

[Hood_Man]

Federer screwing on a fresh forearm.

 

[NatF]

Robredo is never going to break Isner, if I were the big man I'd kick it out the Spai***** backhand every time.

 

[Russeljones]

What was he angry about?

Told umpire to use his brain. Didn't understand the start of his rant.

 

[underground]

Meanwhile on PC we have a special programme Federer with fans. :lol:

 

[jm1980]

Novak breaks back for 4-3

 

[underground]

Does anyone know what Tursunov's MTO was for?

 

[m2nk2]

What was he angry about?

I missed the first part of the rant. But I think he wanted staff and ball boys to be better.

 

[Warmaster]

RBA to upset Berdych.

 

[underground]

RBA to upset Berdych.

Given their past record I wouldn't be surprised.

As I type RBA breaks. :lol:
