2017 Monte-Carlo Masters - General Discussion Thread

[Big_Dangerous]

Man I was all set to drink the Cuervas tonight too.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Novak holding on by a thread right now

Hanging.*

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Hanging.*

Was a lame meme I was attempting at his serious struggle to hold his service games

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

This has been such a weird tournament for Djokovic. He's been surviving which should be encouraging but he shouldn't be surviving every match.

 

[BigServer1]

Here comes the inevitable LostGen meltdown.

 

[Meles]

I totally meant Goffin would be the gracious king

Good for Goffin though lets see if he can do it for another set!

We call him King Joffrey

 

[marc45]

Those look like lights to me, are we saved or are we FINNISH?

Side note: Wow MC is beautiful

it is beautiful, it's my Facebook header photo

those lights though, saw them too, look kinda' cheesy compared to other places?...smaller facility though I guess, good enough

 

[Meles]

Djokovic looking extremely formidable here. Best he's looked in a while.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

We call him King Joffrey

hahaha so fitting!

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Really good play now!

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Wow, well played Goffin!

 

[3fees]

Congrats to McFly blnt Djokovic, McFly outlasted him better conditioning.

Cheers

[Adv. Edberg]

The crowd are really getting their money's worth!

 

[babbette]

anyone have a stream link?

 

[abmk]

so Murray, Stan, Djoko out.

Albert Ramos, Pouille, Goffin in the semis.

Nadal is not going to be stopped until he is way below par and goffin redlines, is he ?

 

[Sereger]

Thread for Rafa match, no?

 

[Sambuccashake]

Todays winners in probability order:
Nadal
Cilic
Cuevas
Goffin

(Note: My predictions are usually abysmal so a betting man might benefit by going against my picks)

 

[ruerooo]

Thread for Rafa match, no?

Yes

https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/ind...lo-2017-qf-nadal-vs-schwartzman.588125/unread

 

[TripleATeam]

Best of luck to Nadal to win his tenth MC! No qualms about supporting the guy now that Djoker's out!

 

[Mainad]

6 of the 7 top seeds out before the semis! Is this a record of any kind??

 

[TripleATeam]

The Schwartz breaks Nadal back.

 

[Gazelle]

No Federer, no tournament

This clay season is a foretaste for how tennis will be after Fed retires.

 

[marc45]

about the lights again...Tennis Channel just said these aren't "tournament-level" lights, and the match might have to be called after another 45 minutes..?

 

[Sambuccashake]

Todays winners in probability order:
Nadal
Cilic
Cuevas
Goffin

(Note: My predictions are usually abysmal so a betting man might benefit by going against my picks)

Ps
The problem for the betting man is to know which half of my picks that are right or wrong...

 

[Deleted member 716271]

Tourney feels like Barcelona now with only Nadal and mugs left

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

We call him King Joffrey

Wow so I really disrespected lord Joffrey Goffin by not only picking Djokovic, but calling him King.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

2009: ATP World Tour Masters 1000 starts
2010: Ljubicic and Soderling won outside of 'Big 4'
2011: -
2012: Ferer
2013: -
2014: Wawrinka and Tsonga
2015: -
2016: Cilic
2017: ?

If this cycle break, let Pouille be the one!

 

[BGod]

Pouille would be a good win. But Nadal overwhelming favourite.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

it is beautiful, it's my Facebook header photo

those lights though, saw them too, look kinda' cheesy compared to other places?...smaller facility though I guess, good enough

Agreed! Stunningly beautiful. I hope to one day be successful enough to visit. Man, being a Tennis player is the life. So jealous

[Deleted member 512391]

It's great to finally see some young guns competing for a big title. 3 of the 4 semifinalists are not the members of the Big 4, which is a very positive and, I hope, promising sign for the rest of this season.
If Nadal wins, it will be totally deserved as well, as he's been by far the second best player on tour this year and would be definitely satisfying for him to lift the trophy on Sunday, after losing several finals this year.

photo gallery of Monte Carlo...

Giri Nathan at Deadspin is doing good tennis work there now

[chjtennis]

Last Frenchman to win in Monte Carlo was Cedric Pioline in 2000 (beat Dominik Hrbaty in the final).

17 year. Such a long time ago!

 

[chjtennis]

Looks rather a perfect situation for Nadal. Things are going for him here and this really seems his tourney to lose.

 

[ghostofMecir]

Nasal to win 1600 points in Miami and Monte Carlo beating Sela, Kohlschreiber, Mahut, Sock, Fognini, Zverev, Schwartzman, Goffin and Ramos/Pouille.

Is this real life?

 

[ruerooo]

about the lights again...Tennis Channel just said these aren't "tournament-level" lights, and the match might have to be called after another 45 minutes..?

That was a scary minute, wasn't it?

 

[6-3 6-0]

Nasal to win 1600 points in Miami and Monte Carlo beating Sela, Kohlschreiber, Mahut, Sock, Fognini, Zverev, Schwartzman, Goffin and Ramos/Pouille.

It is not Nadal's fault the others couldn't even advance enough to meet him.

 

[Freddy Cat]

If Jerzy Janowicz wins the French, he's got a shot at the final 8.

 

[junior74]

We call him King Joffrey

Game of dethrones, no?

Congrats to Goffin, I have never seen him happier.

Who would have picked Goffin, Ramos-Vinolas, Pouille in the semis along with the Peak Rusty Injured?

Strange days, indeed. I likes

Just spoke to him. He is ready to surrender these 1600 points if Fed is ready to surrender all of his GS titles from 03,04,05,06.

I saw a grey haired woman taking a photo with her camera. Methinks she's got the hot for Deliciano. Judy Murray would be jealous.




Or maybe she took a photo of Bopanna. Sureshs would be jealous.[emoji16]

Played out of his mind against Rafa too and was up 4-2 until Mourier decided to meddle, Goffin never recovered his senses

 

[guanzishou]

Congrats to Rohan Bopanna and Pablo Cuevas for capturing the Men's Doubles title!

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Vamos Rafa!
