Monte Carlo Masters Series: draw and results

[Rhino]

Aw, come on, if it was in your hand, wouldn't you let your boy lose only to grant us that match? :drools:

No, because if Federer wins, then it will take a great match to produce that result, and we'll get to see Fed vs Djoko on clay too... and if he loses it'll be annoying.
It's right at the beginning of the clay season, there's still time for Nadal vs. Nalbandian (hopefully!).

 

[Alejandro D]

No way. We've seen tons of Fed-Rafa. Only 3 (I think) David-Rafa, and none on clay. That's the best match this tournament can produce.

 

[nikdom]

My prediction is Djoker-Nalbo and Rafa- Davydenko semis.

I'm more certain of Djoker and Davydenko making the semis, less certain of Rafa (given Ferrer's current form) and least certain of Nalbo - who knows if he decides to show up against Roger or not.

OK, let it be the FO finals then :twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:

This tournament is bagel-tastic.

Djokovic bagels Murray, Ferrer bagels Tipsy, Nalbandian bagels Robredo, Nadal bagels Ancic, Monaco bagels Lee, Nieminen bagels Giquel (who incidently bagels Hrbaty in qualifying along with Montanes bagelling Gabashvili).

 

[Leublu tennis]

I think this may be bye bye Federer.

[3] N Djokovic (SRB) vs S Querrey (USA)

 

[Zaragoza]

It looked like an easy win for Gasquet after the 1st set but Querrey just took the 2nd set 6-4.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

For a crappy mover, Querrey is doing a great job moving around.

 

[zagor]

Querrey really did well to win the second set,I don't know how many BPs he saved.I gotta say he earned my respect with the way he fights on his worst surface,he's definitely the best American claycourter at the moment.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Gasquet in a 0-30 hole. Ok 15-30 with an ace.

 

[zagor]

2 BPs for Querrey.Gasquet doublefaults and Sam will serve for the match.When was the last time an American was in the quartefinal of Monte Carlo?

 

[Zaragoza]

Double fault Gasquet, Querrey serves for the match

 

[zagor]

2 MPs for Sam Querrey.He wins and reaches the quartefinal in Monte Carlo,I think this is the first time Sam Querrey plays Monte Carlo,can someone verify this?

 

[Zaragoza]

Querrey wins 6-3 in the 3rd, amazing.

 

[gj011]

I just saw the score, didn't watch the match. What is wrong with Gasquet?

Good for Sam.

 

[deme08]

Gasquet is such a choker! He had many bp chances at 3-3 2nd set, didn't convert and from there on lost it mentally.

Good for Sam.

That reads like a who's who in the world of claycourt tennis, and then there is Sam Querrey. He's among some nice company.

Bryans are in a struggle after 6-4 and 4-6.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Bryans are out. This has not been their year.

 

[dima]

Whoever wins this tournament should be in top form. On nadals side, he has to beat ferrer, davy and then djoko or fed. Fed has to beat nalbandian(which he did) djoker, and probably nadal.

Damn!

Indeed! I think its as fair a situation as can be. No one is getting a cheap ticket into the finals.

 

[edmondsm]

Don't forget about Djokovic having to take out Querrey.:wink:

 

[Zaragoza]

First time since Roland Garros 2007 that Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Davydenko are in the semifinals at the same time (but Djokovic was no. 6 back then).

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

I also see that Bryan twins got taken out by the South African pair, Coetzee/Moddie 10-8 in the 3rd. :?

 

[fer]

Is anyone following doubles? Do you think Nadal could win both singles and doubles (with Robredo)?

 

[Leublu tennis]

Nadal has a good chance to win the doubles crown. They have taken out some pretty good teams so far and it would be great if they got the final win.

 

[fer]

Tomorrow Nadal will be on two master series finals. He can win his 10th master series singles and first MS doubles title.
I guess the singles come first.
