2015 BNP Paribas Open / Indian Wells - ATP 1000

[Wynter]

I think people have this vision of Tomic 2012 sort of stuck in their minds. Post surgery he moves different, plays different

He's been really surprising this year, his movements improved marginally, but that margin has actually helped him significantly.

 

[tennis_commentator]

Lucky Tomic isn't suited to clay.
I think he's going to dominate the world in future, except for at Roland Garros.

Kokki will soon be better. Then we got Coric, Nishikori, Dimitrov, Raonic... Cannot see Tomic to stay in top 5.

 

[Wynter]

Nice point, tomic looks great so far.

 

[Wynter]

Just hanging in, mon Tomic

 

[Wynter]

tomic saves 7 BPs in a single game fighting back from 0-40

 

[Wynter]

Tomic breaks 5-4

Serves for the match.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Tennis is getting interesting again.

 

[merwy]

Okay Tomic come on! Serve it out!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic to serve for the match omg yes!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

He just needs a couple of his fantastic aces and some good points and he's done it!

 

[Wynter]

Ferrer's been weird today...

 

[Wynter]

DAT BH :shock:

 

[Aussie Darcy]

He does it! Omg another top 10 Win

 

[merwy]

Just realized that Australia will be having the strongest Davic Cup team in the world later on

 

[Wynter]

Tomic takes it 7-5 6-4

First Top Ten win in 2 years.

 

[Timbo's hopeless slice]

Did it his way too, like nobody else

 

[Wynter]

Tomic, Kokkinakis, Kyrgios and maybe Thompson/Jasika if we're lucky. Wish some had been here for Hewitt earlier but thems the breaks.

Nice time for Hewitt to hang his racket.

Tomic, Kyrgios, Kokki, Groth, Jasika - enough back up for a consistent run.

Let us hope the 'Young'sters don't disappoint.

Kolossal victory. Stealing the pace from under Ferrer all the time.

Respekt

 

[Timbo's hopeless slice]

you can't possibly have watched it if you say that...

It was the huge BH up the line and the big flat FH that won him that match

He was def so much more aggressive than his previous battles with ferrer, nice to see his learning from his mistakes

 

[Tennis wizard]

Tomic vs kokki should be good .. last time they met tomic won comfortably though

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This time last year at Miami Tomic lost the fastest match in atp history. Look where he has come in just under a year.

 

[FreeBird]

Strange. I'm with President and Snake on this one...

Where the **** is FreeBird here?

Un...Unb...Unbelievable.

 

[Wynter]

Twas weird seeing Roche in Tomic's box.

Whatever works I suppose.

 

[-snake-]

A bit late but, I'm glad that the filler is out.

 

[The Green Mile]

Where the **** is FreeBird here?

Un...Unb...Unbelievable.

LOL, sorry I didn't see your post. I agree with Freebird too.

 

[torpantennis]

Amazing overrating of Djokovic. Unbelievable!!!! :twisted:

 

[powerangle]

Nole all out of sorts at the moment.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Djokovic gets broken from 40-15 up. Anyone see how?

 

[Herios]

Is Nole still playing today?


EDIT: Just saw it, he started

 

[bullfan]

Not yet, but the day is not done.

 

[Herios]

LOpez - Cuevas also starts only now. Nole is down a break from the gate, he never played Ramos before.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Is it just me or is Novak hitting his FH differently? The motion of his strokes seems weird.

 

[bullfan]

He's just trying to make it look competitive against his utter failure of an opponent. Novak is gifting everything...

 

[Tennis wizard]

Is it just me or does Cuevas have the worst forehand in the world

 

[insideguy]

Ok I am not one to jump on the bandwagon and rip on the refs. But the linesman suck in this tournament.

 

[InspectorRacquet]

Djokovic gets a lucky break with neither the umpire nor the linesmen seeing the ball as out on break point. Still doesn't help Djokovic to win the game though.

 

[powerangle]

Left foot/ankle issue?

 

[bullfan]

Is IW winner predetermined by Larry Ellison?

 

[InspectorRacquet]

Ramos has 19 unforced errors and 0 winners in the first set. I'm unaware of how he normally plays, but this kind of seems like a clay court thing to do - grind out the errors from Djokovic, that is.

 

[RSH]

ARV channeling his inner Nadal with some of these DTL forehands.

 

[Bud]

Pignolias

 

[Starbuckingham]

Twas weird seeing Roche in Tomic's box.

Whatever works I suppose.

Rochey is our Aussie DC mastermind. He and Hewitt now are mentoring and coaching Bernie. Rochey wants Aussie to win DC if not this year the next 2 or 3 years.

I saw Rochey sitting and watching all the young Aussie matches in Brisbane. He dilligently monitored them and took some notes in those matches.

 

[JJGUY]

this match bores me to tears, please be over in 15 mins, or 20 mins or 30 mins...anyway, 2 sets please!

 

[MichaelNadal]

I've been yawning the past 5 mins. The crowd seems dead too.

 

[Starbuckingham]

Give Djoko some more shot varieties and court positioning and the crowd would wake up.

 

[Starbuckingham]

Kokki will soon be better. Then we got Coric, Nishikori, Dimitrov, Raonic... Cannot see Tomic to stay in top 5.

OMG Croatian names are dominating the tennis.
