The Official ATP Tennis thread

ive played tennis twice. once randomly in hs gym class and one random time where the racket broke after the 3rd serve. lol. it was kind of fun. its better watching it though.

i cant serve for shit…i cant return hits just fine but sumtin about the timing with serving is sooo shitty for me. i wish i had more friends my own age to practice wit.

I had to play tennis in high school. I sucked ass at it. Couldn’t serve, couldn’t backhand, couldn’t get a spin, ect.

I did however, kill a bee that was bothering me with my racket.

As a Federer fan, watching that shit was just too painful. Great match, but really, really painful way to finish.

I don’t know, for some reason I feel that this possibly could help Fed’s approach at Roland Garros. Now no one will be expecting him to win and he might even stand a chance if he isn’t feeling any pressure and goes in there guns slinging.

filpin channels and came across comcast sports and saw the sony ericsson open on. semifinals are advertised for friday i believe. check your local fox sports network channel and i believe the finals will be on over the weekend on cbs.

Yeah it’s being currently aired. It’s weird that it’s being aired on FSN for west coast. I try to catch it whenever I can. I hope Federer gets back on track. That performance at Indian Wells made me sad.

random womens tennis on espn2 right now. wozniacki is one of the hotter tennis chicks.

cant wait for the tennis majors this year. shits gonna be gdlk.

Heh back in high school, tennis was the “Asian” sport. On the girls team it was nothing but fobs until a black girl joined, and she ended up being like Serena Williams, easily carrying the entire team herself lol.

The only thing I can do with a racket is a forehand. Backhand, the ball always goes up too high. Even when banging a tennis ball against a wall, I can do a forehand decently, but if I’m forced into a backhand, there’s a good chance the ball flies over the wall arg.

fed beat rafa in madrid on clay!!!

yes take that fucking french fed

that shit is not happening at the french

LOL

Dammit I need my cable tv right now, so I can hit up the tennis channel. I’m way behind.

:lol: really? I am still with Thraaaa on this one though.

lol damn…yeah boi. i love both these players…their rivalry will go down in record books as one of the greatest.

i dont know if anyone cares, but i had a chance to go to the indian wells event, BNP Baribas tournament this year, which is the biggest tournament in the u.s. outside the us open i think…and see them play live from like 10 feet away even got nadals autograph…

and somethings on players…

best one handed backhand - gasquet
best 2 handed backhand - nalbandian
best forehand - gonzales
best serve - federer
most consistant - nadal

if you ever get a chance to see this shit live, its a whole different level in real life especially 10 feet away…gonzales be hitting fucking 100mph forehands is like fake looking…

im outi

Roberth

no andy roddick?

yo who bet watchin dat french open?

If that’s stream, I can’t take advantage of that using my cell phone, it’ll still be a couple days until I’m situated.

Thanks for the link though, cause if the tennis channel aint in the cable package I’ll follow with that.

I went to Indian Wells a few years ago.

Best 1H BH - Federer
Best 2H BH - Safin
Best Forehand - Federer
Best Serve - Federer

Nadal has a great 2H BH and a great forehand but his shots are ugly lol.

I do agree on tv the ball looks so slow but man in person, that ball you see it get hit and then hits the back wall for a winner.

French is interesting right now since everyone’s not as sharp in the first few rounds. Nadal looks smaller to me but I think he’ll have no trouble in the second week. I hope to see Federer v. Djokovic. Murray I don’t think we’ll have what it takes to get to the semis. And finally yeah I dont think Federer can beat Nadal here.

nadal will win again. madrid was a fluke. either way its gonna be good.
