Miami-Sony Ericsson Open-ATP1000

[DavidGarcia]

Gonzo gets a deserved bagel.

DF to end a miserable set of tennis from Gonzo.

 

[swissmiss]

Gonzo ready to join the "what's wrong with her" WTA thread as he DFs on set point for a bagel by Soderling.

Soderling sure knows how to hand out some beatdowns every once in a while.

 

[Xenakis]

To even put Gonzo's shorts in the same category as Nadal is a serious insult. I mean, they're a bit awkward looking, but come on !

Bagel coming up? 30-40

Ok, point taken. But they are bad, and how difficult is it to get a pair of black shorts to look ok?

They have that ugly white pattern on the back and they are wierdly cut, too short for a start. No wonder Gonzo is off the pace.

They are way too short!! He looks like he has a permanent wedgie. He's wishing he could do a Nadal buttpick instead of playing. And yeah, that white thing needs to go.

I don't like to count phoney winners lol

Aces as winners are not "real" winners to me.

Why? They are tennis strokes with which one player hits the ball, uncontested, past the other. You might as well claim forehand winners or drop shots "don't count."

Gonzo = Clown.

That's why they have the Aces statistics and should not be included as "winners" and forced errors should not be included in the "unforced errors" statistics but that's just my opinion.

forehands, backhands, dropshots and lobs that opponents cannot reach should be the only winners that counts.

 

[sdont]

Gonzo = Clown.

Yeah, but a funny one.

 

[PSNELKE]

Soderling vs Gonzo 6-0 6³-7 6-2
Now it´s time for Cilic vs Verdasco

 

[Blinkism]

Rafa looks like he's in a good mood

Interview after the Ferrer match

Hopefully he can beat Tsonga tomorrow AND play his best tennis at the same time.

 

[Rhino]

This tournament is a lot less exciting since Federer was defeated.

Talent, not so much. Karlovic, Isner are just....tall...

Im loving the yellow bull hat

 

[rovex]

Are only 2 QF's being played today?

 

[aldeayeah]

Really? Now I'm wishing for a Nadal-Soderling or Nadal-Verdasco final.

 

[cucio]

Forget about "winners". If things keep like this stats nuts are having to start to tally the "wincers" to evaluate the quality of a match.

I am pretty sure it was only 1.

 

[Justin Side]

Today is a great day for fans of ball bashers. These 4 guys are gonna be letting it rip from the opening game. This is a push free zone we are about to enter. Lots of winners and even more errors are in the forecast, with a slight chance of rain.

Berdych over Hot Sauce in 3 sets.
Soderling over Headbanger in straight sets.

 

[Love Game]

I am pretty sure it was only 1.

uh oh ... okay I'll change it back, since the original was from the official site!
