2015 ROLAND GARROS DISCUSSION - Men's Singles

[West Coast Ace]

Nadal most be spitting feathers at this weather lol. Meanwhile Djoko is rubbing his hands with delight. Djoko already favourite and with the current weather which is expected to remain Similiar to this come Wednesday. Happy days

I can just see the Nadal Kids posts: "Rafa only lost because of the weather; his FH couldn't kick up... and his knee, abs, back were hurting due to the humidity!"

 

[Rock Strongo]

How have there only been two overtime matches this tournament? Seems unusual for clay.

 

[Steve0904]

I actually picked him in the Racquet Bracket to get to the final and lose to ND.

Some of my Fed fanatic friends aren't talking to me...

:lol: That's funny. It's a solid pick. I wouldn't worry about them.

But what IF Nadal doesn't lose regardless of the weather? What will the Djokovic addicts come up with then?

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Nadal is on Lenglen tomorrow so the Fed-Monfils match won't interfere with his match.

 

[marc45]

Nadal is on Lenglen tomorrow so the Fed-Monfils match won't with his match.

edit.........

Nadal can still break Fed's backhand down, it's in the vicinity

 

[T-Noone]

Djokovic getting the short end of the stick in scheduling, chance he doesn't finish tomorrow so he might have to play the day before he faces Rafa....

novak has really to prove himself, that he can go against the odds and win the tournament.

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

I'll be happy with whoever makes it out of the bottom half. Pulling for Stan.

Djokovic will destroy Gasquet...so it would not matter. Ferrer would pose a bigger threat.

as unusual as nadal not being the favorite of roland garros.

 

[junior74]

I think Wawrinka sails up as a real candidate for the title.

I ageree, although Djokovic or Nadal will be tough to beat at RG.

 

[Terenigma]

I dont see a thread for Murray v Chardy so ill post here. Chardy DF and gift Murray a break in the opening game.

 

[Terenigma]

...Then gives it right back. Nothing to see here, two men holding opening games clearly.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Chardy playing some inspired tennis at the moment, and feeding off the crowd.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

chardy will win atleast a set

 

[Terenigma]

What a point with a great net volley from Murray to finish it

 

[Terenigma]

Murray breaks again 3-2

 

[ArcspacE]

Come on, Chardy

 

[Terenigma]

Bit of gamesmanship going on between these two Murray shouted Come on loudly just before Chardy served after it went to 30-30, Chardy responds by messing up his ball toss twice in a row and then serving an ace. Clearly irratating Murray and prompting the crowd to start jeering.

 

[Terenigma]

Murray takes the first set 6-4

 

[abmk]

wrong thread ...

 

[jm1980]

Djokovic and Nishikori are now the only two players who haven't dropped a set. Kei also benefited from a walkover

 

[G A S]

he should have energy to spare..

 

[kishnabe]

Gasquet does not disappoint.

Why does he play so far behind the baseline....all his ball just setting into the perfect height for Novak.

 

[jm1980]

Djokovic now the youngest player left in the draw...

If Murray and Djokovic lose tomorrow, then the youngest player will be 29-year-old Rafael Nadal

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Interesting, would have thought Tsonga was younger than Rafa.

In any case, betting lines for tomrrow's QFs

Djokovic - -260
Nadal - +210
Murray - -210
Ferrer - +170

You mean you havent known for years that nadal is younger than Tsonga?

 

[The Green Mile]

Djokovic now needs to win 2 more matches to complete his Career Grand Slam. Probably Murray next then either Wawrinka or Tsonga. I think it will be Wawa in the final.

 

[DolgoSantoro]

Wawrinka/Tsonga matches tend to be really entertaining so I think we're in for a good SF. Wawa usually comes out on top if I'm remembering correctly, and I think he has a good chance to make the final. I'd love to see him give Nole the fight of his life another time.

Though not as much as I'd like to see the Scot redeem himself and upset Novak in the next round

 

[chjtennis]

Nadal will now be no. 10 on next week's rankings. He doesn't have many points to defend for the rest of the year, so he should climb back but no. 10 will look strange next to his name.

as many months as he has missed in the past 5 years it's amazing he stayed in the top 10 already....He was just so good at making it count when he was playing i guess

and hopefully then a calendar year career grand slam in the bag accomplished too.

 

[The Green Mile]

Yes. That's what I want too.


:lol:

 

[Murrayjuannow]
