Wimbledon - The Championships - 2014 - General Discussion Thread

[Djokovic2011]

I have nothing against Dimitrov himself. I have a grudge against the stupid HYPE (Dimi won Queen's vs a mega weak field) and the nerve of the programmers to put that guaranteed dud (top 20 vs #236) on centre court when almost any other match today would have been a thousand times more exciting. Title holder AND Brit, I can understand but this was just plain ludicrous. If switching to Nike gives you free pass to center court, then there is nothing left to this sport than money and it's not good news.

Fair enough vero.

 

[skip1969]

that matosevic chardy match was freakin brutal. i'm tired just from watchin em.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Kuznetsova's brothers.

Are they really?

 

[Nostradamus]

Kuznetsova's brothers.

WHO is this younger Andrei ?? this 1/2 of the brother is SUPER talent. just BAGLEED Ferrer. and has HUGE big game, can blow away even RAFA

+1...
RG SFist and Top 10 player(not technically) Mugbis played his first match on non-televised court and 2nd match on Court 12. ATP, ITF and Nike are showing their desperation because of the marketability of Dimitrov and ****ting their pants already thinking about retirement of Big 4...

 

[Chanwan]

Anybody watching the Ferrer match? Very rare to see him bagelled. And then the 2nd set stats:
15-3 W/UE for Kuz, 1-1 for Ferrer......wtf

What on earth happened to Ernests today FB?

Was busy with my acads. So didn't see the match. I don't know what happened there. Sad indeed.

I dont know what the hell is going on with Ferrer and second sets. His 1st round match he won 6-0, 7-6, 6-1, 6-1. Aparently he wants more practise on court but for him to get Bageled is very rare indeed, 1 UE from him? How the hell did he lose 6-0?!

 

[veroniquem]

Come on Novak! Time for some beautiful tennis (on both sides of the net)

 

[Down_the_line]

It is odd that Dimitrov got centre court and not Murray or Li etc. but at the end of the day, are we going to get our panties in a knot about something like that? It's not like this is a once in a lifetime spectacle. We get Grand Slams 4 times a year, every year. The top players get more than enough exposure.

Ferrer got bagelled??? :shock:

 

[newpball]

Lol, Stakhovsky did it again!

He keeps surprising!

:grin:

 

[FreeBird]

Stepanek-Djokovic is one of the most entertaining match-ups. I love their matches.

Kuznetsov has been blasting winners all match long at a cuuuuurazy rate.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Tomic-Berdych or Djoker-Steps...

 

[jwjh]

Are they really?

Older Alex defected to the US by swimming across to Alaska.

 

[W.P. Mayhew]

Like Ferrer, the BBC looks a bit lost out there.

 

[veroniquem]

Good start from the Bs.
2 great matches at the same time. Don't know which one to pick!

 

[FreeBird]

Tomic-Berdych or Djoker-Steps...

They did it again. These were the two matches I was looking forward to and they put them together. Djoker-Steps of course. :evil: For the other match, read my sig.

Totally hope you're right, man.


Yeah, I'll have both matches up but hard to watch two at once.

hehehehehe

 

[Down_the_line]

Dolgopolov came back from a set down to defeat Becker 6-7(4) 7-6(0) 6-3 6-4.

Fognini did the same thing, overcoming Puetz 2-6 6-4 7-6(6) 6-3.

I don't like Fognini, but gotta hand it to him: he's getting it done. Puetz isn't an opponent to write home about but we all know how unbelievably bad Fognini has been in the past on grass so this is a good result for him.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Yeah I wanted to watch the Berdych/Tomic match as well but obviously Novak always comes first.

 

[Wynter]

Tomic-Berdych has begun 2-1 atm.

 

[MindoverMatter]

I've got a good feeling for Tomic here. A win over Berdych could finally give him real confidence again after coming back on a surface he's comfortable with.

 

[Nostradamus]

Older Alex defected to the US by swimming across to Alaska.

WOW<,,,,,,,,, blowing away Ferrer right now. POWER this guy has is bigger than Novak................it is so big, Ferrer can't see the ball.

@Djoko11 - He did.

Yeah, can see that from the stats. Am not watching - unfortunately.

I dont know what the hell is going on with Ferrer and second sets. His 1st round match he won 6-0, 7-6, 6-1, 6-1. Aparently he wants more practise on court but for him to get Bageled is very rare indeed, 1 UE from him? How the hell did he lose 6-0?!

Perhaps because he got blasted off the court? 15-3 in W/UE can do that to most opponents.
Edit: Apparently he called the trainer.

 

[veroniquem]

Bernie holds to 0. Novak holds to 0. What's not to like?

 

[Down_the_line]

Uh oh, looks like Stepanek might have tweaked his ankle a bit.

Looks fine though.

 

[FreeBird]

How do you guys feel about Tomic?
Not his fan but I find it amusing whenever he wins or comments.

 

[veroniquem]

Bagel? What is wrong with the ferret?

 

[Down_the_line]

L. Mayer defeats Baghdatis 7-6(4) 4-6 6-1 6-4. Mayer will face the winner of the Kuznetsov-Ferrer match.

 

[veroniquem]

Love him. Perfect game for grass. And he breaks!!

 

[FreeBird]

Tomic breaks. Read my sig again.

 

[MindoverMatter]

I like his tennis game and strokes. That's...about it for now. There's always time for him to mature, he's young.

Also, Tomic breaks to go up 3-2.

 

[Down_the_line]

Bagel? What is wrong with the ferret?

Clown match.

 

[veroniquem]

Poor Novak. Already in trouble

 

[veroniquem]

Clown match.

Lol no. 4 sets at least.

 

[T-Noone]

Djokovic serving like a boss. Really impressive

 

[FreeBird]

Poor Novak. Already in trouble

It was just a forking duece. :lol:

 

[Supertegwyn]

That tomic passing shot was sublime

 

[FreeBird]

Sopcast showing two mug matches. You can see Djoko-Step in good quality here.

Earlier shot in game of Berdych's Serve

 

[Chico]

Umpires are trying to rob Djokovic from the very beginning.

The most difficult draws, the most unfavorable scheduling, the umpires robbing him from valid points regularly, cakewalks for his main opponents, ...
Enough already!!!!

 

[veroniquem]

Djokovic serving like a boss. Really impressive

Boy, I hope he can keep this serving up. He's gonna need it big time with that insane draw of his.

Keep it up, wynter.

 

[MindoverMatter]

Imagine if Tomic had the serve of Raonic. Where in the rankings do you think he would be? Raonic is literally only 1 cm taller than him, so it might have been possible if he had been coached a bit better on it growing up.

 

[Down_the_line]

Lol no. 4 sets at least.

Lol I know. Just bugging you.
