How's Goffin doing? Anyone watching that one?

Someone get the DeLorean jumpstarted. Where's Einstein? "Einy, Mr. Fusion's hungry!"

 

[SpinToWin]

Cibulkova's match is actually pretty good STW

I'm grumpy off of a lack of sleep and wanted to see Thiem

Eurosport player has every court available to watch anytime.

That's why I'm so glad I got Eurosport Player cos you get access to all the courts. Not that I wanted to rub it in or anything

Stop rubbing it in yo!

Goffin has been having his way so far. Looking good. First two sets done with quickly, he is passing Karlovic when he wants to. (slight exaggeration)

Thiem needs to spend less effort on power and more on placement!

Nice, thanks!

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Pretty boisterous French contingent enjoying themselves.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Nice, thanks!

Goffin just went a break up in set 3. Can't see a way back for Karlovic now.

 

[stringertom]

Paire 'bounds from the first set baguette, grabs set two, 6-4.

LOL, Thieminator terminating himself.

 

[skip1969]

Benoit channeling power from the beard and makes this a best of three.

 

[Deleted member 743561]

[stringertom]

Yeah. Freakin' bearded pear. Blech.

Gets the break for 2-0. Benny Balls making Thiem time miserable!

[Djokovic2011]

I wonder where @Meles is tonight?

 

[stringertom]

Dropping French Murray "'mon"s all over the place. Does blow, tho. Thiem is just deadly sometimes.

For Dominic, suicide isn't painless!

 

[skip1969]

Bonehead game from paire and he gifts the early break right back to thiem.

Goffin serving for a straight sets win over Karlovic.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

11th seed David Goffin knocks out 20th seed Ivo Karlovic in straight sets!

I don't understand how Paire isn't an even bigger psycho than he actually is. Imagine being a professional tennis player who can't hit a forehand. You'd go insane.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Easy win for King joffrey Mcfly

 

[Meles]

Thiem stuffs three consec. BP opps.

Thought Thiem saving twice from 0-40 would be the end of Paire, but no.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Oh, Calvin.

Resilient bugger. Still feel like it's on Thiem's racquet.

Watching over dinner. Thieminator up and downs in this one, but quite a start.

I'm sad that Thiem doesn't have the headband on today.

Speed kills.

True. Needs that and the top

 

[Deleted member 743561]

ha... whole thing = bizarro files.

 

[fundrazer]

Oh my god these idiots at espn. There's actual tennis going on and they're going back to that stupid Serena presser from 2 days ago. They already beat that horse to death yesterday. Yeah the dude asking the question was kinda dumb but Serena completely overreacted and the whole thing was stupid.

I guess it's cause there's a bit of a slowdown in play with only Thiem on court for singles at the moment..but instead of putting that match on we're gonna stare at Gibbsy sipping water for 3 minutes after her warmup.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Then, hopefully he doesn't lose or you'll be just murderous.

 

[stringertom]

hehe, that's a nice little tune.

From a betterer movie than the TV series.

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Brickity-BREAK Thiem. Serving for set 3.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Who are you rooting for now? Not Fedal, obviously?

Thiem-Goffin is MUST SEE tennis.

 

[Meles]

Thiemerer.

 

[stringertom]

Easy win for King joffrey Mcfly

George is "The Man Who Would Be King" with a better serve.

I may have missed the reference. Have this feeling the song I'm thinking of is a cover, but not even sure. Does NOFX hold any appeal for you? Used to like them.

You can't be serious.

 

[skip1969]

Thiem takes the third.

 

[Meles]

Thiem reasonably solid in this match, but kinda gassed himself beasting in the first set on serve. Slowly getting stronger...

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Stream dead too. Wow.
