Australian Open -- Atp 2000

[seffina]

Tsonga -Haas and Federer Andreev is probably the only good matches I enjoyed from the Federer section.

On the Nadal section we had Del Potro Blake, Roddick Lopez, Roddick Gonzalez, Cilic Del Potro.

I guess we agree to disagree

I suppose that's true when put them all together. But then there was also the horrible Cilic/Tomic. I think that one cancels out all the good. Then we have all of Djokovic's matches... hmm. Fine, we can agree.

I hope the Tsonga/Almagro one doesn't turn into anything exciting. He should break right about now and then serve for the match.

 

[abmk]

lol, a shank FH return form tsonga on BP

 

[DavidGarcia]

Almagro hitting the **** out of that ball there! What a flat forehand down the line.

 

[kanamit]

Just imagine if ALmagro beats Tsonger in 5. Djokovic's draw will be the easiest path to the semis of a GS ever.

 

[abmk]

come on tsonga, finish this in 4

 

[Bloodshed]

Today's tennis matches really f*cks my brain:

You have Verdasco who pulls a 45 winners/ 81 unforced errors ratio, 20 df and pushes Davydenko to 5 sets.

And then you have Tsonga who has 70 winners/ 29 unforced errors ratio, 2 df and he's about to be pushed to 5 sets?

What the hell is going on?

 

[abmk]

tie-break time !

 

[seffina]

Today's tennis matches really f*cks my brain:

You have Verdasco who pulls a 45 winners/ 81 unforced errors ratio, 20 df and pushes Davydenko to 5 sets.

And then you have Tsonga who has 88 winners/ 29 unforced errors ratio, 2 df and he's about to be pushed to 5 sets?

What the hell is going on?

Nah, Almagro won't win the tiebreak. But that Verdasco match was painful. Just error after error.

 

[kanamit]

LOL!

Cahill, speaking to Davydenko: "Did you know that Tsonger has never played a 5-set match in his career before this?"
...
...
(Davydenko silently staring blankly at Cahill.)

 

[DavidGarcia]

This match is quality! 2 points in the tie break 2 aces!

 

[icedevil0289]

wtf is tsonga doing? he is messing with my predictions

 

[seffina]

Some nice shots by both of them in the tiebreak so far.

 

[abmk]

great volley by tsonga !!!!!!

 

[kanamit]

wtf is tsonga doing? he is messing with my predictions

HOw is he supposed to play according to your predictions if you don't phone them in in advance?

 

[kanamit]

LOL! Tsonga brain fart!

 

[seffina]

Ai ugh yuck.. this is horrible.

 

[Bloodshed]

Tsonga double faults at 5 all in the tiebreaker to give Almagro set point.

JESUS F*CK!!!!

 

[inthemisosoup]

almagro will choke

 

[abmk]

tsonga goes for a 1st serve on the 2nd, DF,then saves SP

 

[seffina]

Another set point for Almagro.

 

[kanamit]

Almagro takes it to a fifth?!?!?

 

[Telepatic]

Tsonga in his first ever 5 setter!

 

[abmk]

ugghhh missed volley, onto the 5th we go

 

[zagor]

There's a first time for everything.

 

[Bud]

Tsonga in his first ever 5 setter!

That's incredible... hard to believe he's never played a 5-setter

 

[icedevil0289]

:shock::shock::shock:

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

If Almagro wins this, there is no justice in the world.

 

[TennisandMusic]

Wow that brain fart by Tsonga on the second serve could literally have cost him the match. Crazy stuff. Almagro celebration looks insane on that slo-mo replay.

 

[bluetrain4]

I guess Tsonga had to play a 5-setter eventually, but that was really a stupid double fault in the tiebreak and that last volley was pretty spotty.

 

[shadows]

Morning chaps

Sorry for the panic, Jo just didn't want to win till I'd woken up.

 

[Bloodshed]

If Almagro wins this, there is no justice in the world.

I hope he doesn't.

That lucky f**ker Djokovic has such a joke draw, we don't need more crap like Amagro in the draw anymore.

 

[TennisandMusic]

Doug Adler's analysis is hilarious. In summary, he basically says Tsonga is making a lot of errors, bad plays, so he thinks Tsonga is a little shaky. Brilliance.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Wish Almagro would have run headfirst into that wall.

 

[zagor]

That's incredible... hard to believe he's never played a 5-setter

Not that much really,for most of his career so far he was out with injuries.

 

[TennisandMusic]

Wish Almagro would have run headfirst into that wall.

Why exactly? You do know he is someone's kid right?

 

[seffina]

Wish Almagro would have run headfirst into that wall.

Heh. Poor guy. I told everyone they should respect him in the predictions league, but no one listened. He has never not converted a match point people!

 

[abmk]

Not that much really,for most of his career so far he was out with injuries.

on a related note, do you know how many GS matches he's played ?

 

[zagor]

on a related note, do you know how many GS matches he's played ?

Off the top of my head no but I'm guessing number is pretty low.First time I remeber seeing him play a slam match was that first round(I think)against Roddick in 2007 AO.

 

[inthemisosoup]

Heh. Poor guy. I told everyone they should respect him in the predictions league, but no one listened. He has never not converted a match point people!

wait . . . what??????!!

 

[stapler]

on a related note, do you know how many GS matches he's played ?

This is his 39th GS match.

 

[TennisandMusic]

wait . . . what??????!!

My guess is sarcasm, but I couldn't really understand what she would be driving at.

40.

 

[zagor]

wait . . . what??????!!

Means when Almagro gets a MP he's like a pitbull.

 

[Breaker]

Wish Almagro would have run headfirst into that wall.

Cry moar, Almagro doesn't lose 5 setters, going to take a great effort from Tsonga to win here.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Why exactly? You do know he is someone's kid right?

Aw, no need to get all sentimental. I just can't stand the bugger especially after that stunt he pulled vs Rafa indoors.

BTW wonder how he's able to play all these 5 setters yet he cramps up in a 3 setter v Nadal. Ridiculous.

 

[Telepatic]

Means when Almagro gets a MP he's like a pitbull.

Tsonga aint winning this before Almagro gets MP.

 

[zagor]

Cry moar, Almagro doesn't lose 5 setters, going to take a great effort from Tsonga to win here.

What's Almagro's record in 5 setters?

 

[shadows]

Dear Almagro

stop serving like that

thanks

 

[Telepatic]

I cant believe this match is better then Davydenko-Chokedasco

 

[shadows]

That was 2 awesome points from Jo, sick inside out forehand

 

[abmk]

This is his 39th GS match.

oh ok, thanks

.......

meanwhile 2-2, 30-0 ,tsonga on serve
