Auckland Heinekin Open, who will win?

[OliverSimon]

So what happened to JCF? Which body part?!

Juan Carlos turned his ankle.

 

[swissmiss]

Juan Carlos turned his ankle.

Thank you! Could you tell if it looked serious, or was he just trying to play it safe?

 

[Love Game]

Sad. Guess there's not much hope he'll be okay for the AO

============================

players on court .......... I'm guessing Statham is gonna get his cute butt kicked by Montanes! :twisted:

 

[OliverSimon]

I didn't look too serious, but it was hard to tell.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

go montanes! hope i dont jinx

 

[pound cat]

I didn't look too serious, but it was hard to tell.

I thought it looked like a serious twist..not just a slight bend of the ankle. And it looked as if it would hurt...a lot.

 

[Blinkism]

This sucks... about JCF

 

[OliverSimon]

I thought it looked like a serious twist..not just a slight bend of the ankle. And it looked as if it would hurt...a lot.

Well there was some tape there before hand so hopefully that helped a little...

 

[Love Game]

Update ...................................

 

[Love Game]

I thought Nico Almagro was serving well, but his first service game was broken by Marc Giquel ..... could be a decent match.

==========

Isner d Monaco 63 in the third

 

[OliverSimon]

Is it me, or does Almagro look thinner? He is playing very poor tennis

 

[OliverSimon]

That match was horrible.

 

[mdjenders]

sucks for JCF. looked like a pretty severe ankle roll.

 

[Rhino]

Wow, Lammer is one lucky guy!

 

[OliverSimon]

This Tourny is pretty much open to anybody for the taking.

[Rhino]

This Tourny is pretty much open to anybody for the taking.

Robredo, Ferrer, Kohlschreiber, or possibly Melzer by the looks of things.

DRAW

ORDER OF PLAY

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Rob, Mon, Koh, Mel my faves AND my picks to win (That's rare for me)

 

[Rhino]

I can't believe Clement beat Ferrer, what an annoying result. Hopefully Robredo takes this...

 

[Love Game]

s/b an interesting tiebreaker .... robredo holds, 6 all

isner serving better than he did last week

 

[OliverSimon]

It would be nice to see Jurgen or Kohli to win this.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Big John takes the TB yes!

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Really Tommy? You can take Murray but not Isner?

 

[OliverSimon]

The way Isner is playing, he might take the title!!

 

[Love Game]

I'd prefer Philipp to Jurgen, but I'm not sure either one of them has the power to beat Isner the way he's serving today.

Robredo beat Isner last week, but today is a different story, with Isner taking the first set 7-6(5) ...... verrry close tho, and Tommy broke his racket! :twisted:

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

*Robredo 6-7 2-2 40-30 Isner

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Robredo 6-7 3-2 15-15 Isner*

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

*Robredo 6-7 3-3 0-30 Isner ohno

 

[OliverSimon]

Robredo holds...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Robredo 6-7 4-3 Isner*

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Break, away from everybody
Break, away from everything
If you cant stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places
Come on Tommy

 

[OliverSimon]

giant ace under pressure from Isner 30-40

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Don't wanna hear anyone get on Murray for c'moning UEs anymore.

Robredo just c'mon'd the DF that gave him the break.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

*Robredo 6-7 5-3 15-0 Isner

 

[Love Game]

Huh? Isner DF into a break, 3-5 :shock:

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Don't wanna hear anyone get on Murray for c'moning UEs anymore.

Robredo just c'mon'd the DF that gave him the break.

It was for the break though

 

[Love Game]

Decider coming up ..........

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Robredo 6-7 6-3 15-0 Isner*

 

[Love Game]

It was for the break though

Especially how close he's been to breaking a couple times and how hard he's been fighting unsuccessfully to overcome ........ now I think he said a very big VAMOS when he broke with that passer to start the third 1-0

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Robredo 6-7 6-3 2-0 15-40* Isner

 

[Love Game]

Isner now has 18 aces ..... Robredo has 1

Tommy serving at 3-2

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Tommy up a break, gives it right back, 3-3

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Isner leads Robredo 7-6 (5) 3-6 3-3 30-0

 

[Love Game]

Tommy survives 4 BP and 2 deuces to hold 4 all

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

bp tr!!! 10 chars

 

[Love Game]

Isner survives 3 BP, holds with ace #20, 5-4

 

[tacou]
