The Official ATP Tennis thread

Eh, 11 isn’t that bad of a rank, but I just looked at the draws and it looks like he has Kohlschreiber next and then most likely Fed…unless Fed gets hit by a truck or something.

nadal in

Aside from all the other top guys getting injured and unable to compete, I don’t know how Murray will win a major. He seems to be stuck behind Joke and Nadal the way Roddick was always behind Federer.

If he had finished that comeback though that would have been awesome.

the difference is that murray is actually improving at a consistent rate, roddick stopped improving hella early in his career. also, murray works harder and has a more tactical approach, physically and mentally.

a couple of years ago we could have said ya joker is good but he will always be stuck behind nadal and fed…

im outi

Good lord Fed pisses me off to no extent. He played the first set perfect…attack nadals BH, great 1st serve % and kept the unforced errors down. It seemed like after the fireworks he not only threw that game plan away he also COMPLETELY forgot how to serve. I have never seen him hit so many double faults. He is mentally broken vs nadal and I don’t think he will ever get over it due to his declining game. 60+ unforced errors too…wtf is that?

The way Murray played last night I think he could really make a push for #2 this year. He is usually a choke artist vs fed/novak but it looks like he is getting much stronger.

I predict Djoker in 4 over nadal.

damn you joke, damn you

joke strikes again

His shirt holds itself in mid-air while he does this. He’s just that good.

Damn I was on nadal’s side but damn…he couldn’t match the sudden SSJ power up!

French Open anyone?

I’ve been watching for the ladies once again… sadly, my new honey Sabine Lisicki is already gone (*she got destroyed by Bethanie Mattek-Sands)! There’s a new American cutie on the scene though… Lauren something… 5’2 borderline midget status…hell yeah. Most of ESPN’s coverage has been of the guys though, so far…

*It’s a shame Mary Jo Fernandez is only a commentator these days…that broad is looking better than ever now. It’s like the aging process actually helped her out. Chrissie Evert(*the first sexpot of the sport…or at least the first one to catch my attention, way back in the day) is still hittable too, imo. Anyway, as usual I look forward to seeing Sharapova’s legs… oh hell yeah speak of the devil! So… what in the hell are they doing focusing on these guys (Tipsarevic v. Querrey) when the lovely Sharapova is in action right now?! Terrible, man.

ah, it must be since this match is closer, I suppose. From the glimpse of the score when the bastards TEASED me just then… Sharapova is roasting her opponent right now…oooooh it’s even worse than I thought… the other girl didn’t get SHIT! --> 0-6, 0-6. She could not hang with my honey’s powerlevel at all.

May I remind you this isn’t the pr0n thread. LOL

Good game Sharapova though.

caroline and ivanovic out also. i guess sharapovas legs will be good enough to watch womens tennis.

Cmon Djokovic!!!

If he wins vs Nadal, he have all 4 titles at one time which has not been done for 43 years.

It will definitely be an uphill battle though. Nadal is on point on his ideal surface.

  1. Fuck NBC for still showing tape delayed matches in 2012.

  2. Fed needs to find his serve asap

  3. Rafa must have had the easiest french open draw for a number 1 I have ever seen.

He was actually number 2 going in… but yeah easy draw indeed.

Whoops my bad that’s right Novak is number 1. Whenever I think of roland garros I think Nadal 1, everyone else 2 - ~

yup! nadal still number 1 on clay.

vamos rafa!

Unfortunately for Djokovic, the rain delay until the next day screwed him over. Even though he was down 2 sets, he was in full momentum last night, I knew that when the game got called off, he would have no chance on a recollected/fresh Nadal, hence he was finished off today.

damn. my sleep schedule did not let me catch one match this year.

MURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

C’mon son you better not blow this.
