Meanwhile Nadal may not even have to play Murray (Murray has a toughie against Kohlschreiber next).

Yup, you are right because Ferrer's gonna take Nadal out

 

[Djokovic2011]

Is the Fog not enough for you?

Amazing body, shame about the face.

 

[Fiji]

Rafa's 1st week: Ginepri, Thiem, Mayer, Sock
Rafa's 2nd week: Seppi, Fognini, Simon

Hahahahahahaha imagine TW's posters' faces hahahahaha

That would be a mickey mouse draw, pathetic.

 

[Fiji]

Yup, you are right because Ferrer's gonna take Nadal out

That might happen.

 

[Fiji]

Why would it please me? I'm just being realistic that's all. Nole will have to wait another year for RG but I'm patient, I can wait! :wink:

Nole better win it this year since Del Potro will win Rg in 2015.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Yup, you are right because Ferrer's gonna take Nadal out

That's the spirit!

 

[NADALRECORD]

Raonic may win this because he's more match-hardened this year. Simon is great in spurts but Raonic maintains a decent level for longer and has been very consistent this year.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Amazing body, shame about the face.

Not your type, huh? Not mine either, but his face is insane.

 

[clayqueen]

Nole's draw is stacked. Cilic-Tsonga-Simon-Federer-Nadal. :shock:

Makes a change. He has had far too many walks in the park.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Amazing body, shame about the face.

How strange. From a male point of view, I'd think most women would think the opposite. Interesting.

 

[maxrenn]

Nice return Simon

 

[Djokovic2011]

How strange. From a male point of view, I'd think most women would think the opposite. Interesting.

I'm a guy :wink:

 

[Desertman]

Why do some in the French crowd make that annoying "trumpeting" sound in the middle of games? It's very irritating!

 

[Djokovic2011]

Not your type, huh? Not mine either, but his face is insane.

This is more my type. OOH LA LA! :razz:

 

[Warmaster]

Credit to Milos, he's improved a lot on clay.

 

[InvisibleSoul]

What a see-saw affair between Simon and Raonic.

 

[maxrenn]

Why do some in the French crowd make that annoying "trumpeting" sound in the middle of games? It's very irritating!

This was asked yesterday - it is a bull fighting chant. Bull fighting is popular in Spain/France, it is part of the culture and doing it at the tennis highlights the fight to the death atmosphere of the tennis match

 

[FreeBird]

Nole's draw is stacked. Cilic-Tsonga-Klizan-Federer-Nadal. :shock:

Corrected.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

This is more my type. OOH LA LA! :razz:

Fair play, fair play Not my type but, I understand.

It's annoying. Tell them to stop or we will come over there take back our territory

For Djokovic2011:

 

[veroniquem]

The sexiest guy I have ever met was from Manchester. Maybe you'll bump into him one day Djokovic2011

 

[Djokovic2011]

@maxrenn. Thank you my friend. Bolelli is so hot I can feel steam coming through my laptop! :smile:

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

The sexiest guy I have ever met was from Manchester. Maybe you'll bump into him one day Djokovic2011

I thought you were from France, Vero??

 

[monfed]

Simon is starting first in the 5th. Advantage - Simon.

 

[veroniquem]

I thought you were from France, Vero??

I am! Doesn't mean I haven't met people who were from other places...

 

[Rock Strongo]

Milos' grunt when he serves is starting to sound like Connors'.

 

[rainingaces]

Simons bh has to be in the top 3 2 handers but it isn't really talked about on here as a fantastic shot.

 

[monfed]

Corrected.

LOL. Would Nole prefer playing Simon/Raonic?

 

[Djokovic2011]

The sexiest guy I have ever met was from Manchester. Maybe you'll bump into him one day Djokovic2011

:wink:

 

[maxrenn]

If you are going to play a baseline retrieving/counter-attacking game then you need better passing shots than Simon displayed there. He had some real opportunities in that last game.

 

[Djokovic2011]

LOL. Would Nole prefer playing Simon/Raonic?

Who do you think monfed? :wink:

 

[maxrenn]

2 bp's for Raonic and he takes the first. A small section of the crowd boo.

 

[Rock Strongo]

French booing the netcord, because they're French.

 

[Warmaster]

Raonic up a break! Though I feel there is still some drama in this.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

I am! Doesn't mean I haven't met people who were from other places...

Ahh sorry I wasn't clear, I think French men are crazy sexy, and just you would of seen loads of them in France, no? SexiFrench wearing suits and yes.

 

[veroniquem]

LOL. Would Nole prefer playing Simon/Raonic?

I think he'd rather play both of them than Tsonga if he had that choice.

 

[Chanwan]

was that last serve a 2nd serve or what just happened? replay point?

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Wasn't that ball in?

 

[veroniquem]

Ahh sorry I wasn't clear, I think French men are crazy sexy, and just you would of seen loads of them in France, no? SexiFrench wearing suits and yes.

Ha ha sure. But that one Manchester guy was still sexier

 

[NADALRECORD]

I think he'd rather play both of them than Tsonga if he had that choice.

I agree, because as impressive as Raonic is, he really is only good at pushing the big guns, not actually beating them. Whereas Tsonga has beaten Federer/Djokovic/Murray at slams (and he beat Nadal, but it was 2008 AO and Nadal has won their last 5 outdoor hardcourt meetings).

 

[aldeayeah]

Is Milos trying to outjunk Gilles? That won't work, he's a master

 

[sbengte]

Er...AO wasn't a slam in 2008 :-?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Guy's got touch.

 

[aldeayeah]

Er...AO wasn't a slam in 2008 :-?

How so? *puzzled*

Ah, you're being sarcastic. Yes, it was a slam. With slam tires, slam suspension, slam shocks...

 

[mike danny]

But none of those 5 was in a slam

 

[NADALRECORD]

But none of those 5 was in a slam

Tsonga has beaten Nadal, Federer, Djokovic and Murray at the slams.

 

[Warmaster]

Gilles is almost out and the dream of a Monfils-Simon final with it!

 

[mike danny]

Raonic seems to have improved quite well at the net.

1 set away from a reaching the 4th round at 3/4 slams
