ATP 2000 -French Open (Roland Garros)

[rovex]

What a BEAUTY!!!

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Verdasco win 2-6,6-3,6-3,6-7(1),6-4 in 4h01'

 

[shadows]

 

[norbac]

Dasco wins.

Good match...

 

[tennis08tarheels]

Does PK want to lose?

Just took a slow, sitting ball in the middle of the court and pushed it to the deadliest forehand in all tennis.

 

[hawk eye]

headcase dasco takes it, but no way he's any threat

 

[davey25]

Verdasco will be overpowered by Almagro in the next round.

 

[Underhand]

FeVer has beaten his own nasty toenails!

 

[PSNELKE]

Boy I think I´ve never seen Nadal take a 3 setter in less than 2 hours

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Hey Shadows, tomorrow we have some killer matches, man.

Federer, Murray-Berdych, Soderling, Tsonga...

Federer, Murray-Berdych, Soderling, Tsonga...

Top half of the draw is just wildly more appealing.

Fed-Wawa, Muz-Berd, Sod-Cilic, Tsonga-Youzhny

is a great day of tennis.

Gabashvili - Melzer, Djokovic - Ginepri, Verdasco - Almagro, Rafa - Bellucci

on the other hand, is not.

Fed-Wawa

Muz-Berd

Sod-Cilic

Tsonga-Youzhny

is a great day of tennis.

Definitely. I so wish this was Soderling-Mayer, though. I don't think Cilic will get a set.

Tomorrow should be a great day of tennis. Especially looking forward to Youzhny/Tsonga myself.

 

[shadows]

I like Mayer, have followed him since about this time last year when he beat Blake, but he's still too inconsistent and all in all I think Cilic was the more interesting match for Sod.

I'm in two minds as to whether I should look forward to that one or not =p

Jo really looked to be struggling with his injury in the De Bakker match, and he's had it for a while now so I don't see how it won't cause him at least some trouble against a guy like Youzhny who can come up with great variety. I think it might be a blowout for Mischa, though I won't really mind, he's been so entertaining this year

I watched my first Mayer matches this week. I've never seen so much positive energy from a player no matter what the score is. I swear, he'll be down 40-0 on return and it's like you're watching a boxer getting ready for a fight. I love this guy.

True, Jo has definitely not looked at his best so far. But here's hoping both bring their best, could be really entertaining.

 

[Rhino]

I cannot believe that only two weeks ago Robby Ginepri was beaten in straight sets by Alex Bogdanovic, and now here he is in the last 16 of a grand slam.
Bogdanovic beat Reister earlier this year too, he must be jealous.

 

[shadows]

Popped out for a bite to eat this evening, and I swear my waiter looked exactly like Djokovic! Almost surreptitiously snapped a photo of him...but thought that might be a bit weird =p

 

[Justin Side]

Boy I think I´ve never seen Nadal take a 3 setter in less than 2 hours

"Nadal advanced in 1 hour, 45 minutes." This happened.....Yesterday.

[rovex]

He has a lot of heart this man!

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Who's he beaten?

Hopefully he'll win more than 1 game this time against his King Nadal.

 

[rovex]

Who's he beaten?

The guy who sent Djokovic packing last year?

 

[Legend of Borg]

The guy who sent Djokovic packing last year?

Kohlshreiber? He was eliminated by Verdasco.

 

[vortex1]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Nando still needs to go through Almagro if he wants a shot against Rafa and Almagro has been playing well recently.

 

[malakas]

no atp matches?? this schedule sux

 

[shadows]

no atp matches?? this schedule sux

Wish they'd done

Chatrier: Ladies, Ladies, Mens, Mens

Lenglen: Mens, Mens, Ladies, Ladies

Mens would have probably overlapped some, but at least it wouldn't have all been overlapping. Particularly given how all the matches today are great ><

 

[Telepatic]

no atp matches?? this schedule sux

I agree, wtf this schedule, where are MEN!??

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

The biggest mystery for me in the world is how do they manage to keep the WTA at this level?...financially speaking.

No one attends the matches, no one really watches them, and the people that do, usually do because they're broadcasted on large networks like Eurosport...

Where in the gods name to they get the money for prizes?...as far as I know, the prizes are the same for women as are for men.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Penetta and Wozniacki are delaying Cilic-Soderling pretty much as long as possible.

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

The match was scheduled to start one hour from now. So we're still on schedule.

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

I have some great news for you guys, clouds are gathering, it seems as tho some rain is expected, just in time for the mens matches lmao...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/hourbyhour/graph/FRXX0076#

Rain not forecasted

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

I'm watching Woz-Penneta...

wind is starting to blow, sky is getting grey-er...

 

[Underhand]

Rain not forecasted

Famous last words...

 

[shadows]

I can't believe Halba hasn't made a Melzer thread, I feel he's being discriminated against

(boooooored)

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Lol, this match is going to last all day.

 

[PSNELKE]

I think we are not going to see a men´s match today.
After these ****ing womens matches it´ll start to rain. For sure.

 

[kishnabe]

Damm I hope Petrova loses!

 

[PSNELKE]

NOOO Pennetta breaks Woniacki..

 

[shadows]

At least England are losing to Japan in a football friendly =D

Nothing annoys me more than the british sports media, british sports fans, and the absurd world cup hype from both.

So seeing it get deflated before things even begin would be great!

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

These mother****ers are intelligent tho. They put ALL women matches first. Sadists.

Petrova rivals those cows in the "Milka" commercials.

 

[PSNELKE]

PFUUh Wozniacki takes the rebreak.

 

[Telepatic]

If Penneta takes second set, I'm gonna shoot myself.

 

[PSNELKE]

If Pennetta wins I´m gonna kill the FO organizers.

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

If Penneta takes second set, I'm gonna shoot myself.

Don't do it, Federer - Wawrinka is about to start on Chatrier.

 

[PSNELKE]

Ah yeah Fed vs Wawa has already started..

 

[joeri888]

If Pennetta wins I´m gonna kill the FO organizers.

It's gonna be an epic, played until darkness. 28-26, with 50 service breaks.

 

[Telepatic]

Don't do it, Federer - Wawrinka is about to start on Chatrier.

Ah yeah Fed vs Wawa has already started..

It's probably fata morgana, you guys..

 

[Underhand]

Wawrinka is Federer's lapdog.

 

[joeri888]

Wawrinka is Federer's lapdog.

No he isn't, he beat him the week after his marriage. You wouldn't do that if you were a lapdog.
