Nadal struggled to beat Isner 6-4 6-7 6-7 6-2 6-4 :wacko:.

Probably already the biggest shock of the tournament tbh.

Master Splinter
26-05-2011, 06:08 PM
Yeah, Sharapova eventually won in 3.

Clijsters lost though :doh:. She's been injured and clay's not her best surface, but the collapse was ridiculous.

Also, Baltacha and Watson went out.

Nadal beat Andujar 7-5 6-3 7-6.

McNamara That Ghost...
26-05-2011, 10:05 PM

And Deuce, JMdP absolutely nailed those two serves. :lol:

Master Splinter
27-05-2011, 07:26 PM
Yeah, Hantuchova destroyed Wozniacki 6-1 6-3.

Wozniacki :haha: worst world number one since Jankovic. She is the Greece of the womens game.

Djokovic v Del Potro on the other hand is sensational. Two brilliant players absolutely slapping the shit out of the ball with no relent :wacko:. Awesome stuff.

It's tied at one set all now (6-3 4-6) and play has been suspended until tomorrow.

I think Djokovic has killed him. Granted he is winning.

Djokovic :bow:

They're too scared to play him now.

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 02:35 PM
Nadal went through in straight sets. But it's the probably the worst he's played since he was 14.

My tip for the title, Kvitova, went out to Li Na :(. Li Na for the title now :bow:.

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 02:39 PM
Monfils v Ferrer is awesome. Ferrer saved two match points to break back and it's now 6-5 to Monfils in the fifth.

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 02:44 PM
Monfils just had another match point, but Ferrer saved it again. Ferrer :bow:.

6-6 :popcorn:.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 02:55 PM
Three match points for Monfils.

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 02:55 PM
3 more match points for Monfils.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 02:55 PM
And Monfils wins.

Master Splinter

Cripps_orig
30-05-2011, 03:06 PM
Nah.

As good as Djokovics run has been and i know he won the Aussie open during it, the majority have been pre season fixtures against pub teamers.

Federer to win that in 3 id say

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 03:09 PM
Djokovic will beat Federer convincingly if they meet. Federer won't have it easy against Monfils either.

Nadal has not been playing well at all in this tournament. He'll need to improve if he wants to defend his title. If Murray doesn't aggrevate his injury today, a Murray v Nadal semi could be awesome.

Master Splinter
30-05-2011, 04:30 PM
Soderling just beat Simon in straight sets. Nadal v Soderling QF :popcorn:.

Murray v Troicki coming up.

McNamara That Ghost...

Murray is down 3-0 in the first set.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 04:53 PM
My apologies, 4-0. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 04:54 PM
Andrew Castle thinks it's possible Murray is just softening his opponent up. Pretty daring tactic.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 04:56 PM
5-0. Troicki is serving to bagel Murray.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 05:04 PM
Murray avoided the bagel, 5-2 now.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 05:07 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 05:16 PM
Troicki takes the first set 6-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 06:12 PM
Troicki takes the second set 6-4. :lol: I am sure this is all part of the masterplan.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 06:23 PM
Troicki is a break up in the third set. :rolleyes:

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 06:51 PM
Murray takes the third set 6-3, this one will be resumed tomorrow probably should Murray take the fourth set.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-05-2011, 07:30 PM
And Murray takes the fourth set 6-2.

McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2011, 12:47 PM
Troicki breaks in the fifth set. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2011, 12:56 PM

Far more explosive than events on Philippe Chatrier at the moment is the news emerging off the court that Austrian player Daniel Koellerer (nicknamed 'Crazy Dani') has been banned for life for attempting to fix matches. Blimey. Koellerer, who was ranked No.55 in 2009, was also fined $100,000 following an investigation by the Tennis Integrity Unit.

Federer immense in the first 2 sets, played pretty well best I've seen for a long time.....he wasn't doing many of those weak sliced backhands.

Djokovic was a bit disappointing today, looked vulnerable on his serve and made a lot of errors.

Well done Federer, Nadal isn't at his best so if he plays like this he had an outside chance on Sunday.

03-06-2011, 08:39 PM
Fucking ridiculous. Just before the match I get a power cut, and its only just come back on. Worse still my phone needed charging so couldn't keep up to date with that.

I'm guessing Federer won by the post above.

A quick tip of the hat to Daniel Nestor who won the Men's Doubles title with Max Mirnyi. That makes 9 grand slam doubles titles he has won, as well as an Olympic Gold medal in 2000. I note this only because he is a member of my tennis/squash club.

For it to be classic it'll require Nadal not to be at his best, unless Federer takes it to a whole new level I suppose!
