Robson went out to Sloane Stephens in the first round of the Hobart International. Stephens should have an excellent 2013.

Watson was injured.

Both Watson (47) and Robbo (50) are ranked in the top 50 now though.

Ferrer beat Monfils 6-1 6-2 to reach the final in Auckland.

He'll play Kohlschreiber for the title, who beat Querrey 6-4 7-6 (7-2).

Anderson will play Tomic in the Sydney final. Tomic's first ATP final. He's had a good start to the year.


Berdych lost to Batistuta-Agut last week in Chennai and was beaten by Hewitt in the Kooyong exhibition tournament a few days ago. He loves a slump.

Impressive start to the year for A. Radwanska too. She beat Li Na 6-3 6-4 to reach her second final in a row in Sydney.

Tomic won the first ATP title of his career in Sydney by beating Anderson 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-3. He seems to be back on track after an awlful 2012.

Nadal on the verge of winning his 89756547880th clay court title in his first tournament since Wimbledon, despite not being 100% fit.

He plays Zeballos in the Chile Open final.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2013, 08:37 PM
He could reach the fourth round at Roland Garros with no arms and legs. And blindfolded.

Feeling nostalgic and little bit worried Fed's time is coming to an end so I've been watching all of the big matches from his Slam winning tournaments (well I couldn't find the semi-final against Grosjean at Wimbledon 2004). Up to the US Open 2004 QF against Agassi currently.

Shaqiri Is Boss
11-02-2013, 12:00 AM
He lost.

Master Splinter
11-02-2013, 12:00 AM
Zeballos beats Nadal 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (8-6) 6-4! :faint:

He'll do better on the blue clay

McNamara That Ghost...
11-02-2013, 12:54 PM
It was quite a good final. I'm sure the players were much further behind the baseline than they usually are on clay. Could've returned it from the stands.

Rotterdam 500 starts this week, I think Sky start showing it from Thursday.

Federer, Del Potro, Tsonga, Gasquet, Simon, Youzhny, Janowicz and Seppi are all involved. :popcorn:

Simon is up 5-3 on Brands currently.

14-02-2013, 01:10 PM
Baghdatis has just taken the first set against Gasquet 6-4.

Gulbis vs Del Potro on after this. Fed is against De Bakker at about half 6 I think.

McNamara That Ghost...

And Baghdatis wins 6-4 6-4.

Gasquet. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
14-02-2013, 03:07 PM
Del Potro takes the first set 7-6 (7-5) against Gulbis.

McNamara That Ghost...
14-02-2013, 03:44 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
14-02-2013, 07:02 PM

Benneteau breaks again though and leads 4-3 in the first set.

McNamara That Ghost...
15-02-2013, 07:14 PM
Benneteau takes the first set 6-3. An absolute shocker from Federer.

Just like at Wimbledon, Benneteau was two points away from winning.

Fed somehow pulls it out the bag again despite looking like a complete pub teamer at times today. 5-5.

Well done Nadal.

Big Four back again (if he can handle the hard courts). :bow:

Big Five if The Tower of Tandil goes mental. There was one particular forehand today which was just ridiculous.

And, Serena. :haha:

What a rally! Djokovic wins it with a forehand down the line.

McNamara That Ghost...
01-03-2013, 01:38 PM
Superb backhand down the line from Djokovic and going too long from Del Potro means Djokovic has a break point.

Berdych was serving for the set but Fed's forehand goes mental and he gets the break back, 4-5 he still trails though.

McNamara That Ghost...
01-03-2013, 04:37 PM
And he does so with immense serving, 5-5.

McNamara That Ghost...
01-03-2013, 04:39 PM

Ferrer's stay in the Top 4 :rose:.

Nadal :bow:. What a clay-court monstrosity.

05-03-2013, 12:37 PM
You have to feel for Ferrer, he finally found a tournament he could win consistently because none of the other big hitters go to it, then Nadal gets injured and shits all over his plans.

Indian Wells is underway.

Watson and Robbo in action later.

Master Splinter

Watson and Robson were both knocked out in the first round. :doh:

Begu beat Watson 6-2 6-4.

Robson was leading 6-2 4-1, but Arvidsson eventually won 2-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-1. :doh:


Murray will play Donskoy or Ito. Djokovic will play Fognini or Bedene. Federer plays Istomin. Nadal could have a difficult match with Harrison.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-03-2013, 09:41 AM
Watson. :doh:

Robson. :doh:

Fed and Nadal would meet in the QF. Muzza is on Djokovic's side of the draw.

Murray can move to No.2 if he reaches the final and Fed falls before the semis.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-03-2013, 05:39 PM
Fognini beat Bedene 6-4 6-3.

Fed would face Benneteau in the third round. :rose:

Andy Murray is the only one of the big hitters that is playing in the doubles, now that David Ferrer and Robredo lost 3-6 3-4 to Isner and Querrey. Couldn't have been fun trying to get returns in during that match.

How does one hit the net twice with the same shot?

McNamara That Ghost...
10-03-2013, 12:54 AM
After the initial hit it went up in the air and then landed on the net again. And then dropped in for Istomin. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
