LACKO vs. DEL POTRO -- SAP Open R2

[ruerooo]

absolutely
plus and querrey won their doubles last night!
next they face knowles/mertinak

That should be a nice doubles match.

I read a few interviews - Polito worked on everything else he could that wouldn't stress the wrist during his layoff.

 

[MarcusInKensington]

It looks to me like he's serving bigger than before... 135mph is a good 5 or 6 mph faster than what he was doing in '09.

Perhaps he's had some serving lessons from Rafa.

 

[aceX]

Delpo with the break.

 

[Zildite]

Anyone have the email address for the commentator??...He seems to be answering questions live on air.

I think its tennisquestions@gmail.com, but not completely sure.

 

[aceX]

I can remember him serving that big before...

down the ****ing middle maybe. and missing.

 

[aceX]

delpo dipping...

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Lol thought I was the only one up at 3am.

No, I'm a glutton for punishment too!

 

[aceX]

Wow lacko with some firepower now

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

for all this commentator's faults, i like this honesty.

whenever anyone plays ferrer, nadal, ferrero, youzhny and opponent ****s up badly, they always are like "oh, that was their movement they were afraid off etc" and i want to strangle them

 

[aceX]

Delpo hands the break straight back...

 

[seffina]

I think its tennisquestions@gmail.com, but not completely sure.

No s on the question, I believe!

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Lacko breaks!!

 

[aceX]

Glad to see delpo using that slice well like he used to

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

40-30 is not ad-in. It is in effect, but they cannot be used interchangeably. Thank you.

 

[aceX]

Sweet now we got a match

"Heyyyyy yaaaaa, heyyyyy yaaaaa"

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Wake up Delpo

 

[aceX]

40-30 is not ad-in. It is in effect, but they cannot be used interchangeably. Thank you.

Yeah 30-30 is effectively deuce....

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

ugh, please give up on the offensive backhand

 

[ruerooo]

delpo dipping...

The stamina is the challenge. Same as in 1R. Same as against Baggy in the AO.

They interviewed him after 1R and he said the wrist was hurting a little.

 

[aceX]

delpo holds 4-4.......

big game for lacko

 

[seffina]

I have noticed the past few years at San Jose that the speed gun overestimates serve speeds. Or at least players seem to have some of their faster serves here than in other places on the tour.

 

[aceX]

like the commentator

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Does Lacko like enjoy playing close matches? My coach told me that when I won one 6-3 0-6 6-3...

 

[Zildite]

like the commentator

It's his last day at the tournament

 

[aceX]

"They just like to bang"

 

[MarcusInKensington]

"They just like to bang"

Surely a more accurate comment when Verdasco is on court...

 

[aceX]

30-30 delpo under pressure

 

[aceX]

DF gives lacko BP

 

[seffina]

Oh, goodness my.

Wood has been chopped.

 

[aceX]

lol 30-40 = "ad out"

another hammertime forehand

 

[aceX]

waste of a challenge

 

[aceX]

dude delpotro again DF

 

[aceX]

131mph out wide...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

second DF to give up set point. The famed mental toughness seems to have been channeled to Soderling as his replacement as the top 4 ballbasher.

deuce

 

[aceX]

dude too many deuces.....

 

[aceX]

"serve is saving him".... it sure is

 

[ruerooo]

deuce

It's not a mental toughness problem. The man is trying to whack 100+mph serves and forehands with a wrist it took the surgery on a year to heal.

That's ... kind of difficult. And painful.

That's not an issue so far as the wrist isn't only hurting on big points

 

[aceX]

wow guaranteed to take it to a breaker??? delpo will hold for sure??

 

[kishnabe]

Del Potro wrist seems okay, the way he is hitting his forehand!

 

[aceX]

LOL...... tiebreak......

 

[aceX]

traded minibreaks. delpo backhand horrible

 

[aceX]

delpo manages the backhands, forehand looking good

 

[ruerooo]

Kills me. Seems like so many of his matches are like this now.

First set - practically breadsticks the guy in 10 minutes.

Second (and or third) set - INTERMINABLE TORTURE, lol.

Anyone remember 1R AO? I practically held my breath the whole time.

 

[aceX]

lol delpotro not a poser

 

[Zildite]

Dont be a poser Delpo.
He has a good lead right now though.

Crikey, give him time... He's hardly played in the last year!

 

[dlk]

How long at 484? Still need some touching up overall.

 

[aceX]

five match points!
