[PSNELKE]

I see there´s a lot of interest in this tourney.

 

[Blinkism]

Wide open draw, pretty much.

Berdy has a good chance at defending his title... he's playing the best tennis of all the top seeds, at the moment.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

just remembered no bys its been a while

 

[Justin Side]

I'll take Berdych to win.

[vive le beau jeu !]

1st clay win of the season for marcos !
[5] M Baghdatis (CYP) d. [Q] P Gojowczyk (GER) 36 61 62

still, he managed to lose a set against #384 (7 DF in one set... for 0 ace ?!... a bit of wind, maybe ?)... but hey, a win is a win, isn't it ?
chiudinelli or ascione in the next round...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

baggy is the only one who does not look like a serial killer in his photo

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Berdych should take this with no problems.

 

[PSNELKE]

today is a fine day for ducks in munich so there are a lot of matches postponed due tomorrow..including the Cilic and Almagro matches.

 

[Underhand]

Crazy Daniel Köllerer on the court! I hope he makes some riot!

 

[bodave2]

Its nice to hear Bert from sesame street has a job as commentator.

This guy is comedy gold. He's muttering long stories that totally irrelevant what's happening in the match.

He's a complete plonker. I was watching that young Serbian guy and Zeballos in a tie breaker earlier, it was 4-4 and he was trying to tell us that the young guy was up a mini-break!

Sorry- wrong thread, that was the serbian tourney.

I think Almagro will be too strong for Cilic tomoro. Cilic was awful today and its on almagro's best surface, although I didn't think he'd drop a set to Kevin Anderson

 

[Underhand]

Borat and Bert - the commentator super team!

 

[forthegame]

Does Petzschner not have a backhand shot other than the slice? It's effective but....

 

[Underhand]

Petzschner scratched the Bird's itch!

 

[forthegame]

Wow! Slice backhand just dumped out Berdych!

 

[Li Ching Yuen]

Petzschner can drop some bombs on serve that's for sure.

 

[Underhand]

I just realized that Kohlschreiber means Cabbagewriter. Amazing!

 

[forthegame]

Just saw a BMW Open official wearing a jacket emblazoned with the 'RF' logo!
Strange.

 

[Mortifier]

I really wonder if the guy is watching the match all the time - one time he actually thought is was breakpoint for Di Mauro after he'd won a point, but it was actually a new game, with him serving, at 15-0. Just as someone described it, comedy gold.

 

[Love Game]

Baggy takes the first set from Kohli, 6-3

 

[wintintu]

bit of an upset win for baghdatis, 6-3 6-4. Served out the match from 0-40 down. He played pretty well, given its clay and all!

 

[PSNELKE]

I´m really surprised with Cilic winning against almagro on clay even if he´s the king of headcase

 

[dcdoorknob]

Almagro has been pretty underwhelming this clay season. Definitely not in peak form. Didn't even do much in the South American swing, and in the 'real' clay season he can't beat Tsonga or Cilic. Not good.

nowadays, it's a rare and slightly outdated profession, but it's still a respectable one.

(Nb: this is not a jinx attempt !!!)

Cilic losing badly already

 

[Bud]

Seems it started a bit earlier than posted...

Youz up 5-2

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

brave fightback here...

 

[Underhand]

Bert from Sesame Street is the commentator again.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Youzhny is trying to see how many set points he can lose

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Youzhny is Mikking life Hail for Marin with 22-14 winner-UEs and fantastic play

 

[Love Game]

Bert from Sesame Street is the commentator again.

I kinda hate this guy's delivery ... when he begins a comment, the first few words are lost in a mumble ... only good thing is he doesn't talk too much

lol ... the birds are chirping louder than his commentary! :lol:

Now he's mumbling about the actual match, but he used to mumble long stories about totally different players than the actual playing ones during the points. I guess this happens when you are around the Cookie Monster too much.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

He was talking about Davydenko for quite a while earlier.
Youzhny breaks back

 

[hawk eye]

nice car..

 

[skandy]

Anyone got a live feed that works? Freedo tv just died on me

 

[hawk eye]

freedo is working fine for me..

Yuzhny is such a skillfull player, too bad he can't hit a forehand in court 3 times in a row

 

[hawk eye]

on the other hand he's got one of the best one handers in the game

 

[rovex]

Come on YOUZHNY!

 

[hawk eye]

incredible BH again

 

[Mortifier]

That is the sickest backhand all week. SICK.

 

[hawk eye]

youzhny breaks, will he finally win this event..

 

[rovex]

Youzhny's just smacking winners from all over the place.
