[Olivier's xmas twist]

1-0 Robson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Master Splinter]

Li Na saves three break points.

Robson :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

Robson :bow:.

Robson could probably do with staying solid now.

Tiebreak time. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for Murray to give Robbo some coaching.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1-0 Li in the 3rd

[Master Splinter]

Balotelli beats Mladenovic 6-2 6-4.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Time for Murray to give Robbo some coaching.

And buy Coaching you mean ##

1-1

[Master Splinter]

And buy Coaching you mean ##



Coaching.

[Master Splinter]

Robson's break point conversion rate is terrible.

Murray has indeed taught her well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dutra Silva vs Djokovic is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic leads 2-0 in the first set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Robson is going to be a bit annoyed, she had a break effectively taken away from her due to a bum call.

[Master Splinter]

Robson was robbed there.

A great shot was called out when it wasn't and the point was replayed. :doh:

She should kill that lineswoman.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Robson again though. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robson breaks and leads 3-2 in the third set!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Robson :bow: could this be her year.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Coaching.

Thats what i thought.

[Master Splinter]

Robbo :bow: :bow:.

Was Li Na fist-pumping a missed first serve from Robson? :lol:

Stosur :lol:.

She's going down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stosur's freakish arms might be a bit too much I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-2. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leif Shiras to Robson: "You've turned on a lot of tennis fans, congratulations".

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Stosur is a lesser player than Clijsters and Li Na, but this is her best surface.

Robson needs to make sure the double-faults don't come at the wrong times.

Aussie v Aussie. :popcorn:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Stosur is a lesser player than Clijsters and Li Na, but this is her best surface.

Robson needs to make sure the double-faults don't come at the wrong times.

Aussie v Aussie. :popcorn:

Sharapova beat Burdette 6-1 6-1.


Roddick v Tomic coming up soon. :popcorn:

Anyone watching what could potentially be Roddick's final match? Although Tomic has not been in good form this year, so I'm expecting a Roddick win. The hoopla surrounding the situation should make it fun.

[The Wengerbabies]

I plan on watching Roddick though I'm pretty tired so don't know if I'll watch it all.

[The Wengerbabies]

Tipsy has beaten Baker 6-4 6-3 6-4

[Master Splinter]

Her performance against Li attracted attention from footballer Wayne Rooney, who took to Twitter to declare how impressed he was (https://twitter.com/WayneRooney/status/241564773131624449), but called her 'Laura Robinson' - later blaming the mistake on his phone.

Robson said: "He blamed it on predictive text. Can you blame that on predictive text, though? I'm not so sure.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/19443590

[Master Splinter]

Roddick easily beats Tomic 6-3 6-4 6-0 in less than 90 minutes.

Roddick :bow:.

Tomic :lol:.

He'll play Fognini next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez had the chance there. Deuce.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Lopez. :rose:

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delicate tennis from Lopez. Muzza is serving to stay in the second set.

Also. Me. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez you berk.

[Master Splinter]

Quite harsh on Lopez.

Winning while playing poorly.

Murray :bow:. Sign of champions tbh.

[Syn]

We're doing really well atm. Just need to keep our focus and serve well. I think we'll win the 3rd set more comfortably though.

Then we're going to play plug in baby at the O2.

Come on me. (no homo)

And come on us. (homo)

Lucking fove tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer on Verdasco's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and will serve for the first set. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Verdasco :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the first set 6-3.

Verdasco is another guy that it would seem self-destructed just when he was getting somewhere in his career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Murray.

[Master Splinter]

Felithiano :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks, 2-0.

Lopez. :rose:

[Syn]

The ball boy just got hit on the head. If he was a real ghel, he would've glanced a header to the net.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 1-0 in the second set.

Absolutely shite service game by Verdasco.

[Master Splinter]

Simon and Frew questioning Verdasco's mental stamina.

Not harsh and entirely fair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Lopez. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez breaks back.

FFS Muzza.

[Master Splinter]

Murray :haha:.

Murray Concentration Lapses :bow:.

[Syn]

Murray just went for a 40 yard piledriver. Flicked the post. Stupid ****.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kirilenko takes the first set against Hlavackova 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray just went for a 40 yard piledriver. Flicked the post. Stupid ****.

He Lamparded it.

Also, three break points for Federer.

Just retire Verdasco.

[Master Splinter]

Verdasco might as well retire from the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verdasco saves them all.

Me. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Verdasco :bow:.

Great mental strength, spirit, belief, desire, grit and determination.

[Syn]

Lopez is a sexy man, it mustn't be said. He's no Giroud though.

Yanks are the shittest crowd around.

[Master Splinter]

Murray is actually playing worse than he did against Bogomolov now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has Murray got a bet on how many dropshots he needs to play or something?

[Master Splinter]

What a forehand from Murray!

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There's the Petchey Orgasm again. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Felithiano :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 Murray to serve. Surely that will be it now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Lopez :rose:

[Syn]

J.lo as well you know is showing great potential. Maybe one day he can prove it on the big stage and win the Olympics.

As it stands however, he's a poor mans del potro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Lopez.

Seriously Murray?

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

Women's tennis :bow:.

I genuinely think Murray is playing while sleepwalking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Lopez. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez takes the third set 6-4! :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Murray :haha:.

What a moran.

Credit to Lopez.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Murray :haha:.

What a Brave man

Credit to Lopez.

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray sending down 78mph belters. :haha:

[Syn]

My favourite sports people are crumbling. I now support robin Van Fuckface.

Muzza needs the trainer out if he wants to complete this Hollywood ending. Some shots of judy looking anxious. A twisted ankle on court. Quentin to direct. Blockbuster.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Lopez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Murray can still rely on Lopez to push a few long.

Verdasco is serving to stay in the second set at 3-5.

[Syn]

Murray is nothing if not an olympic hero. His problem solving is lacking little bit spirit so don't know what the commentators on about. Talks more shit than Savage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed is serving for the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is on his arse now - served him well at Wimbledon and the Olympics.

He really is Brave Scotty Parker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Lopez on Murray's serve, off a double fault.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serve and volley works again. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez holds, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lopez is serving to stay in the match at 4-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verdasco is serving to stay in the match at 3-5 down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5. Great hold from Lopez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verdasco holds, Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault from Muzza brings up Adv. Lopez!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. What a point. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

What a point! :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-3 6-4 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds, Lopez is serving to stay in the fourth set again.

[Syn]

One of the best points ever :haha:

Muzza :lol:

The new Bollywood.

[Syn]

You get a glimpse inside his soul when he plays points like that.

Petchy needs to get. the fuck. out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petchey is a bit sickening at times tbf.

It's tiebreak time again!

I predict glorious failure one way or another.

[Syn]

Come on the muzzatron.

Go big or go home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is punchdrunk again.

[Syn]

Olympic hangover.

He's the new Kurt Angle.

Pissed it all away.

What a failure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two match points for Muzza!

[Syn]

Petchy :haha:

Worse than Neville Neville.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray wins 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 7-6 (7-4)!

Put it away Mark.

[Syn]

Can't believe he has done it again.

Probably surpasses Redgrave.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hlavackova beats Kirilenko 5-7 6-4 6-4.

Blake vs Raonic will be on soon, epic battle between USA and Canada to decide who gets the chance to make Muzza look like an amateur again. And then lose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kerber took the first set against Kovortsova 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Kerber wins 6-1 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wawrinka leads Dolgopolov 2-0 on sets.

Robbo breaks :bow:.

Stosur's going down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robson breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set!

[Master Splinter]
