Not anime per say as it's technically an American cartoon. (An awesome Peabody winning American cartoon.) It's a pic of Toph from Avatar, The Last Airbender or The Legend of Aang in other countries. I thought it appropriate for RG as she's the best earthbender in the world. :)

I see...i never watched that show because i was a stuck up japan only purist:twisted:, then i was told it was good but couldn't get into it...also lol...avatar in your avatar

On topic- On the tennis channel tv the commentator said something about surgery later on in the year? i hope Monfils knee doesn't get to that point...

Well Gael was saying that if he couldn't play RG he'd have surgery immediately, that's why I've been so worried about him, it's hard to believe the knee can be in any kind of good shape if it's play or be operated on D:

LaMonf up a break in the third ^_^

Allez, make that a double break

Up two breaks ^_^

And i switched to the Fish-Gonzalez match because i remembered Gonzalez from USO round 1 when fed pwned him and i remember this weird service motion he had..anyway he's doing well against Fish and i didn't even realize the guy cracked the top 100

Gonzalez wins the first set 6-3 with 2 breaks of serve. :shock:

Max played really well at dusseldorf last week, seems to be continuing that form! :D I s/b rooting for Fish, but i'm mad at him for something ??? so ........ GO Maximo!! Vamos! :)
 
Monfils breaks for the third time to take the third set!

6-2 6-3 6-1

he looked pretty good overall, made some great gets in the end and played some lovely tennis.

I'm re-assured and quite excited to see how far he can go now!
 
Gonzalez gets broken to start the second set.

Things are back to normal.....or are they......?

The sliderman didn't disappoint which is always a plus..this is where my sig comes into play..i honestly believe that there are people on this forum who wont be watching any tennis today...
 
Still upset about the Stepanek/Mardy match in the SAP tourny?

Glad Monfils is through! Come on, Fish!

THANK you for reminding me! :lol: I almost forgot! (Plus then he added some mind games on andreev that threw him off and made him lose in Rome...NO fair ... j/k ... that was too rude in san jose in January when Stepanek beat him for the Championship, then during the trophy ceremony put a sour look on his face even tho stepanek said something nice about him [he thought stepanek should not have called the trainer for something, claimed it ruined his momentum :roll: ... too bad :cry:) Fish was the american in america and he was very, very rude, I thought uncalled for/bad sportsmanship.) now i'm mad at him again!

first set stats ................................
6rrh8x.jpg


Fish is 6'2"
Gonz is 5'9" ... big discrepancy in height.

uh oh wind blowing.....did I hear thunder?
 
Fish breaks again......


Edit: ....and again....He takes the second set 6-1

...

maximo seems to have "gone off the boil," as the brits say ... he's playing dubs w/delpo here at FO, won dubs w/delpo also at dusseldorf, but fish teamed up w delpo a week or so before that.

Fish breadsticks (?fishsticks?) Gonzalez in the second.

I heard about that. Did you watch that set between them?

I don't find practice sessions interesting at all but I would like to see a match between them. Well if Dabul gets past Stakhovsky we will see what he's able to do in a real match against a top player like Djokovic.

naw, it was just some exo fun, don't know/think it was televised. There's a couple of clips on youtube of it though.

I agree with Zaragoza, if Dabul can actually get through the first round it'll be interesting to see if he can manage to put up some kind of resistance vs Djokovic, I'd assume he'll get crushed xD

Kohli and Robredo both crushing their opponents

Although I didn't pick him to win, I would love it if Baghy pulled off the upset. I see that Monaco dropped all the way down to number 68 in the rankings!
 
YAY!!!! Monaco wins in straights. vamos pico!!!!!!!!

I love Monaco's clay court game. I hope he makes it to Qs.
