Monte Carlo semis- Djokovic vs Wawrinka

[Leublu tennis]

Monte Carlo, 2008

Oh, you are talking about the Federer tantrum. Got nothing to do with line calls though. Try again and a little harder or don't make more stupid comments.

 

[veroniquem]

It seems it's gonna be a long match!

 

[Love Game]

early break for nole 2 love

consolidates for 3 love

 

[veroniquem]

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.

I could. His health may be fragile but he has a lot of talent and claps for his opponents' good points which I find nice. As for double faulting, it can happen to anybody.

 

[SikSerb]

Great service game from Nole. He better keep this up if he wants to win this match.

 

[Leublu tennis]

I am not a huge fan. I like him and a number of other players, Baghdatis for example, who show a human side when they play. But I also stand up for what I consider to be unfair comments about players. Whine about a line? Hope you are not a Murray fan because yesterday's line whining made everyone, including Davydenko, laugh. But Murray is a head case, so that was expected.

claps for his opponents' good points which I find nice.

Now thats a fan.

 

[Bud]

All of a sudden Wawrinka starts playing like crap.

 

[shadows]

Stan seems to have dipped somewhat whilst Djkokovic is playing a bit more aggresively than the first set, bp for a double break

i cant support a poster who repeats trash talk like that. when exactly did your "sore throat" withdrawal occur?

hmmmmmmmmm??????????

the rest is just hate speech because plenty of players complain about noise and line calls, heat exhaustion and pulled hamstrings

 

[SikSerb]

Great shotmaking from Nole. Goes up a double break.

Why is it when people win the first set they start coasting... rather than jamming the pedal to the floor?

 

[Leublu tennis]

I hate it when the stupid announcer prejudges the outcome. "Its clear sailing for Djokovic in set no.2". Yak.

 

[lonestar]

Oh, you are talking about the Federer tantrum. Got nothing to do with line calls though. Try again and a little harder or don't make more stupid comments.

It's clear that they made a line call from the stand and Federer shut them up.
Anyways, I didn't want to pi$$ somebody off. Sorry.

I have nothing against your boy, I just don't like his parents.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Now thats a fan.

No. Thats a sign of a real athlete. Did someone say that Nadal pumps his fist when the oponent hits a ball in the net? I haven't seen that but the applause for a good play is just the opposite.

I think it's a mental thing, particularly if you're the underdog. Almost like, ah I've got a set under my belt, that's already better than I was expecting, and that then causes a dip in intensity which causes more errors and a loss of focus.

==

that was one of the worst leaves I've ever seen haha

 

[SikSerb]

Nole picked up his level, finding the lines alot too.

 

[fps]

this gives more informed detail. it seems he'd woken up with a sore throat each of a few days before the monte carlo masters match against fed, and this was related to dizziness he also had, and this made him withdraw.

so it's not quite *just a sore throat*, seems to be part of a wider problem he had. can see how the poster might have thought it was just a sore throat though.

I think you're correct... always what I've suspected, pretty much, too.

 

[Bud]

Yuck from Wawrinka! That was hideous.

 

[shadows]

Very good set for novak, not so good for stan. Main reasons I think were Novak being much more aggressive, 2 more winners than the first set despite playing 3 less games and Stans consistancy waning.

1 set all, lets hope the level gets back up for the decider :3

 

[Leublu tennis]

It's clear that they made a line call from the stand

Were you there? Your clip did not involve anyone, parents, siblings, friends, trainer, neighbors calling lines. Thats just a stupid comment. O.K.?

and Federer shut them up.

Federer did not shut anybody up. Yes he whined about noise but the appropriate step would have been for him to ask the ump to have the audience, yes audience, be quiet during points, serving, toweling off or whatever caused Federer's tantrum.

I have nothing against your boy,

Oh good. I will tell him that. It will make him feel really good.

I just don't like his parents.

Well his mother has passed away, so you must mean me. Oh, you are talking about Djokovic and you don't like his parents. Do you also hate his dog? How about his siblings? Are they O.K. or do you hate everything and anything associated with Djokovic. Thats just plain sick. You know that, don't you?

 

[SikSerb]

Djokovic picked up his level just in time. Now if Wawrinka picks up his level we should a good third set.

 

[bolo]

nice first point by stan.

 

[shadows]

Stan must hold his first couple of service games I think, just to feel he's back in the match. Otherwise I see him making more and more errors and Novak settling down further.

 

[Love Game]

. . . second para. it's more a blog . . .

ferb55 ... fps ... same???

see we can all speculate and gossip,
fortunately, repeating gossip doesn't make it true

OMG. You are ticking off like that over a few comments from a random message board poster??? Bitter much?

 

[shadows]

What a rally that was!!!

35 awesome shots which we can all quite happily discuss, rather than getting grumpy with each other about past incidents

 

[Bud]

Wow... marathon rally!

35 shots!

 

[Kramerica]

What a point!

 

[veroniquem]

OMG. You are ticking off like that over a few comments from a random message board poster??? Bitter much?

He has every right to react to a bunch of comments that were extremely offensive. What is it to you anyway?

 

[All-rounder]

stan breaks

 

[Bud]

OK... momentum back to Stan...

Come on Stan close this out so Nadal can wipe the clay with Murray :lol:

 

[shadows]

well, that was exactly the start Stan would have wanted, and exactly the start Novak wouldn't have o-o

 

[All-rounder]

where is that fire i saw from nole in the second set

 

[SikSerb]

Well i predicted this happening lol..

 

[P_Agony]

Good. Stan breaks, now all he's got to do is hold serve. Simple.

 

[Bud]

where is that fire i saw from nole in the second set

It switched places with Wawrinka's fire :twisted:

 

[All-rounder]

It switched places with Wawrinka's fire :twisted:

[P_Agony]

Oh no Stan! don't hand it over to him.

 

[All-rounder]

[bolo]

novak going crazy?

 

[All-rounder]

c'mon stan take that 3-0 lead

 

[P_Agony]

Nice serve and a nice point after that. Come on Stan.

 

[All-rounder]

novak going crazy?

ummm no he is already crazy

 

[bolo]

can't wawrinka just grind novak down? looks much sturdier than novak.

 

[P_Agony]

Stan is choking. Yawn. BP for Novak.

 

[All-rounder]

stan is handing the break back

 

[Underhand]

i cant support a poster who repeats trash talk like that. when exactly did your "sore throat" withdrawal occur?
hmmmmmmmmm??????????

World number one Roger Federer reached the Monte Carlo Masters final when Serbian Novak Djokovic pulled out of their semi-final on Saturday.
""I didn't feel good for the last three days. I've been waking up with a sore throat," said Djokovic.

Đoković is a coward, hmmmmmm???

 

[shadows]

eesh breakback

epic rally again, stan going for too much at the end...again
