Monte Carlo semis- Djokovic vs Wawrinka

[thejoe]

What a shot from Stan!

 

[Leublu tennis]

Did you see Djokovic applaud a good shot by Wawrinka.

 

[Bud]

Some beautiful, smooth strokes out there from both players.

1-1

 

[thejoe]

I'm not saying French people are obnoxious, but the people on that terrace are...

 

[Leublu tennis]

Was that players complaining about the rattling of champage glasses? Wow. Classy.

 

[Bud]

No, they stated there is constant 'chatter' coming from the terrace.

He's asked them to shut their pieholes at least 3 times.

 

[SikSerb]

Good hold by Djokovic. He needs to pick up on his first serve.

 

[Kramerica]

Shaping up to be a great match, in my opinion

 

[Leublu tennis]

The big question is: Will Djokovic' parents make line calls again?

Make line calls? Again? When and where was before?

the only level of obnoxosity higher is when theyre rich ..... one of the players complained to the umpire about the noise in the audience, and when umpire asked the crowd very politely (for the second time since the start of the match) to please be quiet and, in particular, those "ladies and gentlemen" :roll: on the terrace, he got whistling boos

reminds me of a bunch of people in a supper club ..... to them the tennis match is nothing but background entertainment!!!

 

[SikSerb]

Unbelievable defense from Djokovic. Three break points now.

 

[shadows]

Djokovic defending very well so far, Stans really been hitting some heavy groundies but Novak is outlasting him

Stupid, rude people who think they're special because they have terrace seats :razz:

 

[Bud]

These are some rallies!

 

[shadows]

beautiful tennis from both guys!

 

[Kramerica]

Good thing there's a Swiss player that CAN put the ball over the net and within the lines :d

 

[Bud]

beautiful tennis from both guys!

Absolutely... classic textbook clay court tennis.

 

[thejoe]

To be fair, it's the same at Wimbledon and Queens Club. Before the final last year, they interviewed a woman drinking champagne, and asked her who she was rooting for. She didn't know either of the names, and pointed to Djokovic, who she called: "that one."

I think this one is a good Streaming....

not the best dropper from Nole, Stan was all over it, but at least it was a more suitable time to play one heh

 

[Love Game]

Stupid, rude people who think they're special because they have terrace seats :razz:

too bad they didnt have to parachute onto those pointy tents to get to their seats! :razz: :lol:

again with the atp wankers announcing their twit comments about "retirement" and "sucking air" and how the weather is so much better here! i'd tell them to connect brain before opening mouth, but that obviously would not help "breathing HEAVILY after each and every point" idiot!

:shock::shock::shock:

 

[Love Game]

:shock:

hey, dont look at me ...
... it was Underhand's idea!!! :lol:

--------------------

these gossip monger announcers ... do i have to turn the sound totally off and listen to an audiobook during the match AGAIN?!?! One of these goobers just said, "no love lost between these two," which is one of their standard fillers they use to flap their jaws while sitting on their porch aiming tobacco juice at the spittoon

 

[SikSerb]

GREAT passing shot from Djokovic.

 

[shadows]

@SilkSerb, yeah, that was a lovely backhand!

Real high quality stuff from Stan in that last rally again though to close out the game

 

[Kramerica]

Oh come on Stan!

 

[jones101]

Mighty hitting from Stan to bring up another BP.

 

[Love Game]

THANK YOU!!!

different commentators waaaaaaay better!

 

[iriraz]

This set it`s been all about missed chances for both players

 

[shadows]

Stans BP conversion ratio is always poor D:

Novak ended up doing the hardwork for him, Stan to serve for the set!

 

[thejoe]

Stan breaks through.

 

[Love Game]

Nole DF into a break!

... go, Nole, go! break back!!!

... or NOT

 

[ferb55]

How do people like Novak? Seriously, the guy has game...no doubt.

But he is everything a "big time", elite athlete is not. Whiny, fragile, chokes under the slightest pressure. I have really grown to dislike him.

Come On Big Stan.

It's always interesting

 

[Kramerica]

Staaaaaaan!

 

[SikSerb]

Wawrinka doing well to close off the set.

 

[shadows]

Stan actually serves out! I think it was well deserved, Novak could do with stepping up and being a bit more aggressive, only 4 winners from him?

 

[batz]

Well there goes my prediction

Surprised at Novak's level of play today. Stan doing what he needs to do.

Come On Big Stan.

He has humor and personality. Not a stupid machine on the court. Not his fault he has a congenital illness of which the dumb ones make fun.

 

[veroniquem]

Wawrinka is very dangerous on clay. If Nadal gets to the final, he will probably have a tougher time vs Wawrinka than vs Djoko. Wawrinka gave Nadal fits in the Stuttgart final in 2007 (still straight sets for Nadal but very tight).

 

[Leublu tennis]

Well there goes my prediction

Surprised at Novak's level of play today. Stan doing what he needs to do.

I said Djokovic in 3, with Wawrinka taking the first.

 

[lonestar]

Make line calls? Again? When and where was before?

Monte Carlo, 2008

 

[Love Game]

 

[ferb55]

Congenital illness double fault at a crucial time? Complain about noise? whine about a line? Withdraw last year from a sore throat? Heat exhaustion? Pulled hamstring?

If you are a fan, I understand and won't bash him for bashing sake.

I just couldn't support any one like that.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Djokovic needs to get more of his 1st serves in. Right now at 44% and 4 df.

Bingo!!!

 

[Bud]

Stan needs to tighten up... no gimmes

He's making way too many unforced errors all of a sudden.

Didn't like 3 of those DFs come in the game he got broken?

Novak breaks after a nice dropper and some wawrinka errors

 

[All-rounder]

This match is gonna go to 3 sets

 

[SikSerb]

Nole breaks. Now he better hold and take this set.
