Rome Masters - 2011 - Discussion

[tenis1]

Clay, is clay. The conditions around the court are decidsve factor.

Why are you so angry at me

 

[PSNELKE]

Why are you so angry at me

Haha, no mate, I´m not, just giving my opinion.
There´s no reason I should dislike any of the posters here.

 

[ruerooo]

Why is Cilic playing Berlocq instead of Ferrer? I'm confused.

 

[PSNELKE]

Wawrinka, Almagro, Soderling are challenger players?

More like all of them are current or former top 10 and very good on clay.

Ralfito avoided Bellucci and now Ferrer. Who is left in his draw?

Fed beat the best out of the bunch last week, Sod.
Fed is in Ralph´s draw.
Wawrinka is obviously totally out of form and he will thank god if Nole doesn´t bagel or breadstick him.
Almagro - I don´t think I need to say anything about him, he´s a disgrace and the worst Top10 player ever, even worse than Mugzer,Fish and Cilic.

 

[namelessone]

lol, Rafa and his luck, in Rome Delpo match and QF- Llodra now Bellucci match and QF- Cilic/Fish..

Yes, the man who has lost 3 MS finals this year is quite lucky

 

[MichaelNadal]

You know guys, Djokovic will definitely be fatigued by the final and Nadal isn't his normal self. Federer just might win this thing.

Losing matches fair and square is his own fault, I'm talking about draws obviously.

 

[Mustard]

Ferrer pulled out. Berlocq is a lucky loser.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Why is Cilic playing Berlocq instead of Ferrer? I'm confused.

Ferrer became sickness of the FEVER. Berlocq became loser of lucky. still always love Ferrer.

 

[namelessone]

No such thing as a hard draw for Nadal on clay.

Yeah, he would have definitely run more against Ferrer than against other guys but he would have still won in the end.

Though with how Nadal is playing on clay nowadays with his B- game who knows.

 

[flyinghippos101]

Who is complaining? I am not complaining.

I am just asking, are there any real clay courts left?

We know that real grass is long gone, so it looks like that real clay is becoming endangered species as well.

Just giving an observation.

Don't hate

I have no doubts that he would've still won in the end but he also would at least get somewhat pushed unlike against guys like Llodra/Fish/Cilic..

 

[PSNELKE]

True, but guys, Ralph and Nolito, would cruise into the finals anyway..No matter what draw they have, but they obviously have both toast draws in Rome now.

 

[Hood_Man]

You know guys, Djokovic will definitely be fatigued by the final and Nadal isn't his normal self. Federer just might win this thing.

I've been thinking that too, that first set against Nadal in Madrid showed he's still go what it takes to be competitive against the top guys. Would be a nice little demon to get off his back in the build up to the French Open as well.

 

[Telepatic]

Nevertheless, they both played a lot of tennis recently.

 

[PSNELKE]

Anyone watching Cilic-Berlocq..
Berlocqs grunts are ridiculous.
They are the loudest I´ve heard in my entire life.
So obvious he´s doin that to distract the opponent.

 

[ruerooo]

Ferrer became sickness of the FEVER. Berlocq became loser of lucky. still always love Ferrer.

*tries not to LOL*
*fails*

:lol: :lol:

Thank you for your wellness of ENLIGHTENMENT.

still always love Roger and Rafa.



Feel better, Ferru!

 

[Fedace]

He has more self believe, fitniss and less distraction now that he has solved most of his problems outside the court...




I can't tell you precicely what happend, but I will try my best to tell you what I know.
His dad had a heart-attack and had to stay in the hospitel a few days. His heart was in a weak state.

There were some problems with Serbian Open and Serbian tennis federation. Djokovic family played a important roll in this one.

He broke up with his girlfriend and some other things wich I don't remember. Serbian news was full of it so... just google and I'm sure you will find something.

Soon to be #1 can have any women or girl he wants. who cares about his old girl ? bye bye fluzee and lets get it on with Maria Georgis.

 

[Spider]

The thing with Djokovic at the moment is that he has no weakness at all. Nadal's backhand can be exposed, Federer just plain sucks with his backhand; unlike them, Djokovic has no such weakness, which makes it that more difficult for anyone to even challenge him.

 

[kishnabe]

I rather hope Federer wins this year at Rome.

 

[DragonBlaze]

I rather hope Federer wins this year at Rome.

Same, after the major disappointment in 2006, it would be nice if he could win Rome atleast once.

Still, the road is long and hard before that happens!

 

[Sentinel]

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I hope Fred makes the finals. I wouldn't even mind if Rafa lost to Fred. I'd much prefer it. It will be an honorable person to lose to, and Fred will get a confidence boost. If Fred gets to finals, I shall be rooting for him. Die djoko clown die:evil:

Hey, i haven't gone through this thread, but what happened regarding Nole. Is it that classy chest beating and King Kong stuff at the end of Madrid, lol !!!

And by the way, I've named him Alfred. Please use the official nick

 

[CMM]

Nadal looks very different, all alone and wearing a T shirt when it's freezing out there watching Dolgo - Starace lol.

Dolgo's been slumping big time, t'is a sad sight.

I wonder if this could have something to do with his fever.

 

[niff]

Looking forward to Soderling-Almagro *****-a-thon.

 

[niff]

Damn you Berdych and your solid strokes.

 

[Semi-Pro]

what happened?

 

[niff]

what happened?

I really like Jarkko
He's had a shaky year so it was nice to see him get a run going here, and a set against Berdych. Berdych just easily overpowers him in the end.

 

[kishnabe]

Gassy wins second set!

 

[niff]

Looks like Murray is rolling through, anyone watching?

 

[rovex]

Looks like Murray is rolling through, anyone watching?

He's playing some serious stuff, best match in a long time.

 

[niff]

He's playing some serious stuff, best match in a long time.

Goood.
Plays Mayer next. Flo got through the first set by the skin of his teeth. Rises to just outside the top 20 with the win

 

[Hood_Man]

I've been thinking that too, that first set against Nadal in Madrid showed he's still go what it takes to be competitive against the top guys. Would be a nice little demon to get off his back in the build up to the French Open as well.

...self FAIL! Who knew Gasquet still had it in him? Not me anyway.

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Is Sky not showing the other matches tonight?!!

 

[niff]

Almagro is very passive. Looks like Djok-Soderling will be on.

 

[batz]

Is Sky not showing the other matches tonight?!!

red button I think

 

[niff]

Soderling pulling out some GOAT defence :shock:

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

red button I think

Ah yes! Thank you, sir

 

[PSNELKE]

Lol Sod choking badly.. pathetic

 

[PSNELKE]

Freaking, unreal, Almagro served in each of his last two service games 3 aces.
What on earth is Sod doing out there,.

 

[niff]

Pah, Robin really gave away the break with errors then mugged around for a while afterwards. Almagro's BH seems to be warming up...

3-6 6-3

 

[PSNELKE]

another 2 aces in the following service game, lol Sod isn´t even trying to reach the ball.

 

[batz]

Ah yes! Thank you, sir

You're most welcome mate.

 

[niff]

Wicked defence from Almagro in the third set.

 

[niff]

C'mon Sod, wasted that chance at 0-30 after a wonderfully deep FH.

 

[PSNELKE]

Come on Sod you mug, break that mug.

 

[tenis1]

The longer this match goes the better.

 

[PSNELKE]

fucc them I wanna see the queen.

 

[niff]

Great match, what a hold!

 

[tenis1]

Damn MP for Sod. Come on Almagro you need another ace now.

 

[PSNELKE]

Mugro serving at 32% and this mug still cant break him. :roll:
