Djokovic vs Nalbandian, Monte Carlo 2010 - Quarterfinal!

[zagor]

Hahaha the die hard Serb fan is there again today!!!

Yup,Gj011 is trolling Monte Carlo center court again.

 

[bezs]

Horrible start for Nalby

 

[seffina]

Horrible start for Nalby. Hasn't won a point yet, eh?

 

[The-Champ]

nalbandian needs to freaking win a couple of grandslams. Hopefully he stays injury free..
I find the DJOKER v. annoying. I hope bandian comes thru!

you mean a couple of slams right?

Me too...Nalbandian has too much freakin' talent to retire without one.

 

[Mortifier]

Total points: 9 to love. SICK.

 

[zagor]

Wind seems to be bothering Nalbo,Novak dominating so far.

 

[jjermann]

this is embarassing nothing less

 

[Semi-Pro]

Djokovic is looking really sharp.

 

[Mortifier]

A point on the scoreboard. 11-1.

 

[bezs]

Finally wins a point

 

[Bud]

Nalbandian has won a single point so far

1 out of 12

3-0 Djokovic

 

[bezs]

Oh dear this is looking very bad

 

[Bud]

Nalbandian looks slow and sluggish out there today... Footwork is horrible.

However, it appears to be picking up a bit.

 

[Telepatic]

Looks like entertaining match for Nole fans but I got to go now...thank you rain..see you guys

 

[zagor]

Things not looking good for Nalbo at the moment,Novak is playing great though,hitting clean and deep and serve seems not to be utter crap anymore.

 

[rovex]

Is it fair to say Clay Is Djokovic's best surface? Haven't seen him play like this since, hey, exactly a year ago when the clay season started!

 

[seffina]

Gets one of the breaks back. Can Nalby hold?

 

[Bud]

Wow.. the TT server really sucks today!

Nalby serving at 2-4

 

[Mortifier]

Nalbandian is playing way to passively. He needs to move up to the net on many of those easy sitters instead of waiting at the baseline for them to come down.

That CCBH is so beatiful though.

I agree... his footwork is really off today. He's not moving or transitioning like he should be.

Djokovic finally showing his true form (atleast for now) and smoking the most overrated player on TW David Nalbandian. Wonderful to see.

 

[Xenakis]

This is a bit of a disaster so far. Djoker playing consistently and big Dave is not moving well.

Most overrated player on TW? Proof?

 

[Bud]

So far, this match is a complete dud.

 

[Semi-Pro]

Kind of disappointed how BigDave is playing but Djokovic is playing really well.

 

[zagor]

Well,good stuff from Novak(seems he's finding his form again)in the 1st set although Nalbandian seems very sluggish out there today,really late on a lot of shots.

Your entitled to your opinion but you know nothing about tennis if you can't recognise that David Nalbandian is the most talented tennis plyer on the planet along with the great man.

 

[Xenakis]

So far, this match is a complete dud.

Yep. I don't see Dave turning this around unfortunately.

 

[Bud]

Nalby isn't playing his game. He's standing 6-10 feet behind the baseline during many of these rally balls. No transition game... etc.

 

[bezs]

What a lob, more of that brilliance pls David

 

[Mortifier]

Was it 6 points behind his serve that he has won? That's by far the biggest anticlimax of my day.

 

[seffina]

This has turned out to be a dull affair with a few nice shots in between. Alas. Bets on Nalby holding?

 

[Xenakis]

Some good moments from Dave but a raft of UEs. He's range is out, keeps hitting groundies slightly too long.

Disappointing but oh well, he's done better post injury than anyone expected him to so far.

 

[Xenakis]

Again, groundstroke too long by just a smidge.

 

[seffina]

Since he tends to hold when I wonder if he's going to, I shall wonder if he'll break back now?

 

[Bud]

1-2 Nalby... still down a break in set #2

 

[Xenakis]

Lol at how the French crowd get embarrassed when the camera is on them during changeovers, the Aussies and Americans love it and wave.

 

[Xenakis]

Although not so much during this changeover rather ruining my point, cough (they're probably Americans on holiday or something).

 

[Xenakis]

Nalby has his string tension so high it sounds like he's shanking it sometimes.

 

[Xenakis]

Hardly any winners or UEs from Djoker, he's just knocking it back over the net most of the time. Impressive consistency but not very interesting, frankly.

 

[seffina]

Come on, get that break back.

 

[Semi-Pro]

Miles maclagan watching the match.

 

[Xenakis]

Off the ball observations...

1: That blonde line judge is moderately hot.

2: Miles Maclagan appears to be Novak's box cavorting with women, I think we see the seat of Murray's current problems right there.

3: The TT server is all wrong today.

 

[Mortifier]

Agreed. It's quite cool though.

3: The TT server is all wrong today.

Agreed. I was eyeing that but I didn't really want to say anything...

 

[Mortifier]

You got a chance Dave - take it for once.

Have I told anyone how much I love clay btw? The best surface by bar, atleast when the "real" season is presenting itself.

 

[seffina]

These servers are the most frustrating thing ever.

 

[Mortifier]

Weirdest point all week... Too bad Dave didn't take his chance in that rally, he had the upper hand!

 

[seffina]

I've a feeling Djokovic will break here and then serve out the match.

 

[KuanMaster]

is novak using the adidas barricades shoes in stead of the geniussus?
