ATP 250: Open 13, Marseille, France

[shadows]

Llodra will be in both finals tomorrow, singles and doubles. He is one of my favorites and really deserves the crowns. Will I be watching tomorrow? YESS!!

ah he made the doubles finals too? That's good ^^

Is it worth making a seperate thread for the final?

 

[tudwell]

Didn't Verdasco make both the singles and doubles final for one of the pre-Australian Open warm ups (lost the singles final I believe)? And then Stepanek won both the singles and doubles in a tournament a few weeks ago. And now Llodra has the chance to do the same. It's becoming a pattern...

 

[Deleted member 21996]

Thanks for this. I didn't know it was just 7 slams that he has entered so far? if so, we should give him more time before we judge him. He has done quite well considering that, I mean, reaching a slam final with so few appearances is something great (I think Nadal had won his first slam in his 5th or 6th slam appearance, but again Nadal is a super human).

He is an interesting prospect and brings more variety to the game, so lets hope he remains fit. Its fun to watch him play.

is he?

my former boss who owns a bandage and gauze factory thinks so too!

 

[NandoMania]

I've never seen Llodra play before, so I'm not sure how popular he is in France or anywhere else for that matter. But the very fact that he has a chance to take both singles and doubles is enough for me to wish him the best doing just that!

 

[Sentinel]

i've seen him, usually in the earlier rounds of tours. s&v. fun to watch. I'll be rooting for both.

8am EST means one hour from now, right ?

Someone, please post a livestream link.

[Sentinel]

[Deleted member 21996]

and now for something completely different:

a AC\S&V match... that is something refreshing from the "i strike the ball harder and farther from the baseline than you" we are getting these days!

 

[Underhand]

Llodra is a chip 'n' charge fanatic.

 

[Fedace]

Llodra is a chip 'n' charge fanatic.

cause he cannot stay on the baseline with Wilfred...

 

[Sentinel]

Llodra is a chip 'n' charge fanatic.

Yeah, would you have preferred the fish n chips guy vs the Tortilla chips guy

 

[shadows]

Good stuff from Llodra to get that break back

 

[Fedace]

This chip and charge is actually working against Wilfred. Llodra broke back.

 

[Underhand]

Yeah, would you have preferred the fish n chips guy vs the Tortilla chips guy

I'd prefer the beef jerky guy...

[shadows]

[shadows]

Fed is the GOAT,most talented player to have ever picked up a racquet and his tennis is so smooth that he looks like he's dancing on the court(that's why BP loves to watch him).

Nadal is the most boring fugly untalented player EVER.

You made some unforgivable omissions there. I did the needful -- now we can relax and let our friends lose a few weeks of sleep over this.

 

[Leublu tennis]

4th title for Tsonga and he has not even won 100 matches!! Llodra was great. Terrific match for Llodra. Too bad they will not show his doubles final, where he excells. 26 titles and 3 singles titles as well.

 

[abmk]

4th actually : bangkok , paris masters, jo'burg and this one marseille .

Well played tsonga ..

 

[edberg505]

Wow, how is this overrated winning tournaments?

 

[seffina]

Congrats to Tsonga! Good tourny.

 

[DarthFed]

Yes! i was one of the 14 people who voted for Tsonga, im 2/3 right now, all Roddick needs to do is win memphis

 

[seffina]

Nothing of importance here.

 

[Oui c'est moi.]

Allez Jo!

 

[SoBad]

not really. as a semifinalist he earns 90 points.
as a finalist he'll earn 150 points, and if he wins the championship, he'll earn 250 points.

Yes, the points and all of course, but just losing to some kind of llodra after beating Dimitrov looks a little bit silly when you look at things from the grander historical viewpoint. Oh well, this was an odd tournament full of upsets, and we are all just happy that is it in the past at this point. I am sure plenty of better tournaments are coming up very soon that will show who is who in today's tennis world.

 

[oranges]

Allez Jo!

Congrats Jo, 4th title in the bag in a period of few months :mrgreen:
