Tennis - 2012 - Thread

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They'll definitely change it back, they can't risk having only two players show up. Even if it gives Roddick a chance to win something on clay.

Federer vs Ferrer is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Long deuce game on Ferrer's serve. Ferrer was 40-0. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed for the second time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrer finally holds. 1-0. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos is there too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrer double faults for the third time in the match already. Fed now leads 2-1. And to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-4, Fed serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo is there too.

Marketing day out. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well saved. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weird dropshot return from Fed, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrer and his double faults. :doh:

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :lol: Fed is doing ok with the sliding.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed again. Surely this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tame from Ferrer, nets an easy return.

Fed breaks and will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-4 6-4. :bow:

He faces Tipsarevic tomorrow. Del Potro vs Berdych is the other semi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo and Figo are there.

Berdych beat Del Potro 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks and leads 3-1 in the first set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-2, Tipsarevic serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He can't do it though. Fed takes the first set 6-2. He was brilliant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed, virtual match points you would imagine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a stunning return. 3-1 Fed leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Tipsarevic. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky, went for the backhand up the line and only just puts it long. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-2 Federer, Tipsarevic serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so. Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-2 6-3. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Serena destroys Azarenka 6-1 6-3 to win the women's title.

Federer v Berdych at 15:30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych took the first set 6-3. Serving to stay in the second set at 5-4 down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed took the second set 7-5. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :blink:

Bloody hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And then a double fault from Berdych. Adv. Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another double fault! :haha:

Fed to serve for the Championship.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Berdych.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he breaks back. 5-4.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych serving to stay in the Championship. And to force a third set tiebreak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two Championship points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 3-6 7-5 7-5! No.2 in the world. :bow:

His 20th Masters title.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Will Smith is one of the people at the presentation. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rome Masters:

Murray beat Nalbandian 6-1 4-6 7-5. Djokovic is 6-3 up against Tomic, on serve at 3-2 to Djokovic in the second set.

This is the final tournament before Roland Garros. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-3 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasquet beat Murray 6-7 (1-7), 6-3, 6-2.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Seems like Murray's post-Australian dip came a few weeks later this year.

[Marc Overmars]

Just seen that Wimbledon doesn't clash with any matches at the Euros. Good stuff. Euros, Wimbledon, Olympics. What a summer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The French Open shouldn't clash with it either too much, barring Djokovic and Nadal going absolutely mental in the semi-final/final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi knocks out Wawrinka in three sets. What a match.

Italians. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed plays a dropshot pass to save break point. :haha:

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed leads 5-2 in the first set against Ferrero. He will probably be world No.1 again soon given the tear he has been on recently (and probably won't need to win a Slam to achieve it).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning backhand giving Ferrero no room to return it.

Fed takes the first set 6-2. :bow:

Tsonga beats Del Potro 6-4 6-1. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero breaks and will serve for the second set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrero takes the second set 7-5. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah Fed just goes mental in the third set. 2-0 and to serve. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-2 5-7 6-1. :bow:

Very good match.

Ferrero. :scarf:

[Cripps_orig]

Murray has been carrying a back injury for 5 months apparently

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hmmm if true he'll probably get a decent break after going out early of Roland Garros, if it doesn't heal before then.

[Master Splinter]

He's not going to win the the French Open, so he should just rest until Queen's tbf.

The grass court 'season' starting instantly after the gruelling clay-court run has always been ridiculous. It's almost football-levels of idiotic disorganisation.

[Master Splinter]

Ferrer beats Gasquet 7-6(7-4) 6-3 to reach the semi-finals.

Nadal beat Berdych 6-4 7-5.

Djokovic v Tsonga on serve at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah you have:

Madrid.
Rome.
One week off.
Roland Garros.
Queen's.
One week off.
Wimbledon.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 7-5. Not a good time for Tsonga's first double fault. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is 5-0 up in the second set. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 7-5 6-1.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed vs Seppi is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks. :lol:

2-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0. This could be horrific.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Twelve minutes in, Seppi is serving to stay in the first set.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Totti is there. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi gets on the board.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 6-1.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Seppi!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed saves them both. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 3-2 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks again and will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-1 6-2. :bow:

Stunning again.

Semi-final line-up:

Nadal vs Ferrer.
Djokovic vs Federer.

I think Djokovic vs Fed will clash with the CL final annoyingly.

[Master Splinter]

Serena pulled out with a little back, so Li Na got a walkover into the final.

She'll play defending champion Sharapova, who beat Kerber 6-3 6-4.

Ferrer was a break up against Nadal. Back on serve at 3-2 in the first set.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal takes the first set 8-6 in the tie-break.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal 3-0 up in the second set.

Ferrer :rose:.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal won 7-6(8-6) 6-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferrer. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic vs Federer is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks again and will serve for the first set at 5-2 up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-2. Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed gets a break back on Djokovic after facing match point. 5-5. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And then a love service that means Djokovic is serving to stay in the second set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tiebreak time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic leads 4-2 at the changeover and with one serve left.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-2 7-6 (7-4).

What a beast.

Fed. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Sharapova v Li currently 4-6 6-4 6-6. Rain has delayed play.

So the men's is delayed now too.

Rain :doh:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

http://uberhumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/iO1Z7YlizbEMJ2.gif

Huh?

[Master Splinter]

Covers off.

Come on Li Na.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Tennis :bow: Best sport in the world tbh.

[Master Splinter]

Still raining but play seems to be going ahead.

[Master Splinter]

Sharapova wins 4-6 6-4 7-6(7-5).

Li Na :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sharapova wins 4-6 6-4 7-6(7-5).

Li Na :doh:.

Li :doh:

She is done now tbh.

Don't worry about Sharaposer tbh, she'll be back to normal at the French Open.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic v Nadal coming up.

:popcorn:

Rain better STFO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be good.

[Master Splinter]

Play suspended until tomorrow.

Fuck.

Monday finals :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Me. :rose:

Oh well, guess I'll relive our glorious victory at WBA then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play will start at 7:30 if there is no further rain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now there will be no play again. :rose:

Bottles were hurled on to the court in frustration. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Typical Italians.

11:00am tomorrow. FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're playing now. Two break points for Nadal very early on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokokvic goes on to hold. 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks and leads 3-2 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Djokovic gets the break back! 3-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal being physically dominated on clay doesn't stop seeming any weirder.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal is serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he did. Nadal breaks and will serve for the first set at 6-5 up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the first set 7-5. He got incredibly lucky earlier in that set which would have meant he was set point down. Bum line call for Djokovic meant the point needed to be replayed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks at the start of the second set. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds. 2-0.

:rose:

[Master Splinter]

Has it been as close as it seems?

Appears they're killing each other as usual from the first few games of the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah it has been. Djokovic was better for most of the first set but you know what Nadal is like.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody awful from Nadal. Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is dominating most of the points but just keeps pubbing up the final shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another chance for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And cocks it up again.

[Master Splinter]

:lol:

He pubbed it up good and proper then.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic too much in the wanting zone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That he did.

Nadal eventually holds, 3-1.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :bow:.

What an animal.

Brilliant lob to take it to 5-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point for Nadal.

[Master Splinter]

Match point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic double faults to give Nadal a 7-5 6-3 win.

Back to No.2 in the world for Nadal.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic :doh:.

Nadal :bow: :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My French Open predictions. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Sharapova :bow:

Nadal :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Clijsters will retire for the 17th time after the US Open apparently

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18169539

She will return by Aussie open

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Queen's starts today. It's on BBC 2 at 12:30, red button too I think. :lol:

Not sure anybody will be watching it, should the weather be fine in Paris.

Nadal, Federer and Berdych will be at Halle.

[Cripps_orig]

Coverage on BBC 2 at 1pm

Finishes at 1.15pm

Whats the point in that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rain.

[Cripps_orig]

Murray interview atm

[The Wengerbabies]

Roger Federer has had a street named after him in Halle. What a man :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Washout at Queens

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry Davies and Peter Fleming. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Karlovic destroyed Hewitt in the big match

6-3 6-2

Murray plays Mahut tomorrow and Tsonga plays some British Pub Teamer

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roddick dropped the first set 6-4 to Vaseline or someone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Roddick loses 6-4 4-6 7-5. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Inverdale is back on the BBC now. :rolleyes:

Murray vs Mahut on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut takes the first set 6-3. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray was 3-0 up in the second set, 3-2 now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It has gone to a second set tiebreak, 3-3 at the changeover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes it 7-6 (7-4).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving to stay in the match at 6-5 down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does to love, tiebreak time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut leads 5-0 in the tiebreak. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just the six match points for Mahut at the changover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut wins 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-1)!

Murray. :haha: :haha: :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC commentators are taking the positives out of this for Murray. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Roddick :haha:.

Murray :haha:.

Mahut :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kohlschreiber has beaten Nadal 6-3 6-4 at Halle. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Cilic v Nalbandian final at Queens

Federer v Haas final at Halle

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haas won 7-6 (7-5) 6-4.

:blink:

[Master Splinter]

Federer :haha: :haha:.

When he can't even add a +1 to his Halle collection, it's pretty much :rose:.

Haas :bow:. Would have been interesting to see what kind career he would have had if he wasn't the Rosicky/Diaby/RVP/Gibbs/Willcheer of tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Much like Nalbandian. The two perennially injured could be winning the two pre-Wimbledon grass events. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Ancic :(.

The spirit of whom coincidentally lives on through Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nalbandian just kicked one of the line judges. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match is over. Nalbandian took the first set but only just a break down in the second.

Cilic wins on match default.

[Rors]

:haha:

No-DQ rematch at Wimbledon?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hell in a Cell to end the feud. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf?

I knew i should have kept on watching it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In a blink of an eye Cilic has three break points and Nalbandian is on the ropes. A magnificent return proves to be the knockout blow. Hang on. The Argentine looks to be in trouble! The 30-year-old kicks an advertising board in frustration, which injures a line judge. The poor man has blood seeping from his shin and looks in shock. Nalbandian could be disqualified here. Blimey.

Heel turn. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Did he actually kick the line judge or was it accidental?

I assume with him being DQ'd, its the former

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well the advertising board surrounds the bottom of the chair, he didn't actually kick him but he did kick where the line judge is. The advertising boards there are only small and weak hence why he drew blood. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Seems harsh to DQ him then

[Rors]

Caroline Cheese ‏@CarolineCheese
Nalbandian meant to kick box round linesman's feet but got the lino as well. No arguing with the decision - that is a 100% default

Cazza knows :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Need a replay of it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Presentation coming up. :lol:

Hope Cilic has a glorious victory speech ready.

[Rors]

If he had 'just' kicked a hoarding, would he have been defaulted? Code violations have been given in the past for racket abuse. And of course, The Tarango Affair.

[Rors]

Presentation coming up. :lol:

Hope Cilic has a glorious victory speech ready.

If Cilic raises the trophy above his head, then has no shame whatsoever :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I expect bottles and paper to be thrown in, WCW 1996 style.

[Cripps_orig]

Crowd booing :lol:

They would have continued speaking in WWE

[Rors]

You'd think Vickie Guerrero was giving this speech :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If he had 'just' kicked a hoarding, would he have been defaulted? Code violations have been given in the past for racket abuse. And of course, The Tarango Affair.

I think it's the aggressive nature that would be the determining factor. Although drawing blood didn't help.

[Rors]

I expect bottles and paper to be thrown in, WCW 1996 style.

"For nigh on 10 years brother, I played the Challenger Events, got to a WImbledon final, and where did it get me brother?"

--

Cilic :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic lifting it proudly. :haha:

[Rors]

I think it's the aggressive nature that would be the determining factor. Although drawing blood didn't help.

No argument with the decision, but if it has 'just' been a hoarding he might have been able to explain it away, escaping with just a dropped point.

[Rors]

Crowd booing Cilic now.

Bizarro world :bow:

[GP]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2ssjDKWvk

:haha:

Deary me

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"For nigh on 10 years brother, I played the Challenger Events, got to a WImbledon final, and where did it get me brother?"

--

Cilic :lol:

And the reception I got when I got out here - you fans can stick it, brother.

[Rors]

Please.Interview.Nalbandian.

:pray:

[Cripps_orig]

We need a Nalbandian interview

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Say he deserved it.

[Cripps_orig]

Nalbandian apologising.

Not playing the heel role well

[Rors]

He seems to be blaming the ATP. Right :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nalbandian the anti-hero. :bow:

Andrew Castle is infuriated. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Castle not happy with it :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2ssjDKWvk

:haha:

Deary me

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen it

:haha:

The line judges reaction :haha:

Falling off the chair? STFU Castle, he dived

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't wait for Nalbandian's first match at Wimbledon.

[Cripps_orig]

Seriously hurt?

Serious injury?

WTF? Its a cut. Line judge needs to man up and walk it off

He looked a bit like Coney tbh

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The checked shirt guy's reaction :lol:

Almost exactly http://omgdroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jackie-chan-meme.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is this guy pissed?

[Rors]

Erudite interviewee on now....

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf happened to Fleming?

Hes morphed in to some dude

[Rors]

"Won't be taking it any further than this tournament". Well, considering it is now over.....

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He hates Sue. :lol:

I'm a fan already.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18477937

Longer video embedded.

[Master Splinter]

:haha: :haha:

Nalbandian :doh:.

What a moran. Henman no longer the bad boy of tennis.

Great Dids-esque rolling around from the linesman.

Would have been brilliant if someone from Nalbandian's team had come on to say "He's not that kind of lad. He didn't go in two-footed, it was just passion. He's an honest lad, he doesn't have a bad bone in his body."

Cilic is the one you have to feel sorry for. He's done nothing wrong and was playing a good second set and now feels like John Terry should have in the CL final if John Terry had any shame, dignity or decency.

That pointless ATP guy :haha:. It was like an interview with King Kenny.

[Özim]

Fantastic hit by Nalbandian, Tevez and Aguero should watch out!

Also why do the officials have stupid little 6 inch high boxes around them :lol:

One official comes up to the injured guy and gets a tissue out of her pocket, he looks at it and then decides to take another look as his gammy leg rather than taking it and wiping the blood with it, I suppose he might have thought she'd blown her nose in it! :lol:

Anyways, these moments make things more interesting sometimes, still remember Tarango having a hissy fit, Henman hitting the ball girl and McEnroe telling the crowd to "SHUT UP".

Really embarrassing for Nalbandian though, he knows he did wrong and probably wished he could disappear after he did it, unfortunately he had to do an interview about it!

[Cripps_orig]

Police investigation in to the Nalbandian incident :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He has been fined £8,000 by the ATP.

[Özim]

Police investigation in to the Nalbandian incident :rolleyes:
Yeah, send him to jail for, that'll stop him doing that again.

It's time to punish the real criminals who get away with major crimes of this type time after time! :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer won another title. :bow:

Beat Almagro 6-2 6-2 in the Swedish Open.

[Syn]

He has been fined £8,000 by the ATP.

Would've been a wise financial move if he pulled out some racial abuse instead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only sarcastically though.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Nadal pulls out of the Olympics :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

His style is starting to take its toll I reckon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal has pulled out of Toronto.

[Master Splinter]

It's safe to say Rosol played a below-par Nadal.

He probably won't be 100% until the Australian Open now.

[Master Splinter]

Federer and Ferrer pull out of Toronto too. :lol:

Can see Bogdanovich winning this.

[Cripps_orig]

Toronto :lol:

Alwful Canadian city

Its all about Calgary tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tennis is back tomorrow. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Stepanek beats Del Potro 6-4 7-5 to reach the last 16!

Del Potro :doh:.

Tipsarevic, Cilic, Isner and Raonic all through too.

Tsonga currently losing to Chardy.

Murray plays Cipolla later and Djokovic plays Tomic.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga loses 6-4 7-6 (7-4) against Chardy! :haha:

Murray and Djokovic :rose:.

[Master Splinter]

Although Murray is 4-1 up.

Lendl is there. He should probably stay away if he wants Murray to win here.

[Master Splinter]

Murray wins the first set 6-1. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Murray wins 6-1 6-3.

He plays Raonic next. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic beat Tomic 6-2 6-3.

Querrey surprisingly beat JSAO's most talented son 6-2 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Vinci bageled Ivanovic 6-0 6-0 in the women's tournament.

Ivanovic :haha: :haha:.

[The Wengerbabies]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal has pulled out of Cincinnati :rose:

Nadal. :rose:

[GP]

Who is this Cincinnati fella?

[Master Splinter]

Murray pulls out of Toronto. :lol:

Just came for the cake. Good on him tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Djokovic doesn't win this he should retire.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic postpones his retirement by beating Querrey 6-4 6-4 and Haas later in the same day 6-3 3-6 6-3. He plays Tipsarevic in the semi-finals.

Gasquet beat Berdych 6-2 6-4 (Berdych :haha:) and then Fish 5-7 6-1 6-2 to set up a meeting in the other semi-final with Isner, who beat Raonic 7-6 (11-9) 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell has happened to Berdych? I know he was a bit of a flake mentally but this is taking the piss now.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic beat Tipsarevic 6-4 6-1.

He'll play Gasquet, who beat Isner 7-6 (7-3) 6-3, in the final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That starts just as the golf is supposed to finish I believe.

TV schedules helping me out. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 in the first set.

[Cripps_orig]

Whens the US Open?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Late August. A week after Cincinnati I think.

[Cripps_orig]

Not long to go then

We need our Tennis fix

Come on Andy

[The Wengerbabies]

US Open starts on the 27th :good:

[Cripps_orig]

Is it televised on BBC/ITV?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No, Sky Sports. Don't think they have highlights either.

Three break points for Djokovic.

[The Wengerbabies]

Sky Sports

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks to love and will serve for the first set.
