And a double fault gives it to Stosur 6-4!

Olivier's xmas twist
02-09-2012, 09:37 PM
Robson double faults :doh: and hands Sam the 1st set.

Laura has it all to do now.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 09:39 PM
Robson needs to make sure the double-faults don't come at the wrong times.



She wasn't reading GW.

Robbo :doh:.

Not good tennis from either so far. Scrappy.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:41 PM
Robson has been going for the big winner too often.

Kano
02-09-2012, 09:41 PM
if she takes a break she needs to hold it this time and not let stosur back into the game. whatever happens today, it sure bodes well for next season.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:49 PM
Well she has that opportunity now, two break points.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:49 PM
Both gone.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:50 PM
Adv. Robson.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:50 PM
Deuce. Again too much on the return.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:53 PM
Stosur eventually holds. 1-2, Robson to serve.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 09:54 PM
Was the sound of the wind?

Robson's timing is off today. She hasn't had many clean hits off either side.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:59 PM
Adv. Stosur on Robson's serve.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 09:59 PM
Stosur breaks and leads 3-1 in the second set.

Could be curtains tbf.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 10:00 PM
Poor from Robson.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 10:02 PM
Hit and hope time tbf.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:10 PM
Robson is serving to stay in the match, 2-5.

Master Splinter

Maybe not hit and hope like this.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:14 PM
Match point for Stosur.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:15 PM
Deuce. Very close.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:16 PM
Adv. Stosur.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:17 PM
Saved again.

She learnt that dropshot from Muzza.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:20 PM
Adv. Stosur. Match point again. That was some forehand.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:21 PM
And follows it up with a terrible return, deuce.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:23 PM
Adv. Stosur again.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:23 PM
Deuce again. :haha:

FFS.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:24 PM
Adv. Stosur. Sixth match point I think.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:24 PM
Dear god. Deuce.

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:26 PM
Robson finally holds, Stosur to serve it out.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 10:27 PM
Stosur with the futile fist pump. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
02-09-2012, 10:29 PM

Stosur wins 6-4 6-4! She will probably face Azarenka in the QF's, her match against Tatishvili is up next.

Robson. :bow:

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 10:40 PM
British Bulldog spirit not enough in the end.

Far too many errors from Robson today. She needs to back this up now though.

Still can't believe Stosur won the US Open last year. Serena :doh:.

Master Splinter
02-09-2012, 10:43 PM

Sharapova beat Petrova 6-1 4-6 6-4. Azarenka beat Tatishvili 6-2 6-2.

Bartoli beat Kvitova 1-6 6-2 6-0. :haha:

Azarenka vs Stosur
Sharapova vs Bartoli are the top half QF's.

Kvitova :haha:

She has lived on the fluke Wimbledon win for ages.

McNamara That Ghost...

Ivanovic leads 4-0 against Pironkova in the first set.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 03:42 PM
And she takes the first set 6-0. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 04:33 PM
Ivanovic wins 6-0 6-4. She has had a very good tournament, problem for her is that she'll probably be facing Serena next.

Double bagel looks likely here.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:12 PM
Serena will serve for the double bagel.

:rose:

Actual bagels that fat people eat :haha:.


Kerber v Errani currently 5-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:39 PM
Tiebreak time for Kerber and Errani.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:45 PM
3-3 at the changeover.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:46 PM
Three set points for Errani!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:47 PM
Two set points remaining. Really weak second serve from Errani.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:47 PM
One set point remaining, Kerber to serve.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 06:48 PM
Kerber double faults. Errani takes the first set 7-6 (7-5)!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 07:04 PM
Errani breaks and leads 2-0 in the second set!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 07:15 PM
Kerber breaks back, 2-3 she trails and to serve.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 07:28 PM
Errani breaks and will serve for the match!

McNamara That Ghost...

Errani wins 7-6 (7-5) 6-3! :o

Dennis Bendtner
03-09-2012, 07:32 PM
Are the courts slower than wumbledon? Is that an obvious question? Don't know, can't really get into it. Yet.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 07:34 PM
Arthur Ashe will be slower, some of the other courts aren't that slow. I think this is kinda like the obsession with cloud cover dictating whether a cricket ball will swing - all pundits and former players agreed on it being true but nobody quite knows how to explain why.

When they say it is slow, I think what they really mean is - how the ball bounces once it hits the ground.

Dennis Bendtner
03-09-2012, 07:38 PM
Cool. I think I'll have a watch when someone good plays someone good. Muzza got a chance to get to the final?

http://geo360.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/ana-ivanovic-yonex.jpg

Tennis.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 07:41 PM
Muzza will get Canadian howitzers served at him late tonight. He has to face Federer in all likelihood to make the final, so I'd say, probably not.

Ivanovic is little bit prettiest wife.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 08:33 PM
Murray played pretty well last time he faced Federer, I think.

Errani beating Kerber is a semi-shock. Although Kerber has played about 876 tournaments this year. Some of the women really don't know how to plan their schedule.


Vinci has battered Radwanska 6-1 in the first set. :blink:

Radwanska has problems in the heat. The possible shoulder injury could be a factor too.

Cilic took the first set 7-5 against Klizan. Klizan is currently a break up at 4-3 in the second.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 08:42 PM
Sure but not a Grand Slam (Murray won't have the advantage he figured he had in the Olympics of Federer having no experience of winning it), plus Federer will rightly be the favourite - Federer hasn't lost in the US Open without it being against a superhuman performance since 2002.

Vinci vs Errani would be interesting given I think they are still in the doubles together.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 08:43 PM
Cilic broke back, held, then broke again to take the second set 6-4.

Awlful game from Klizan there.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 08:48 PM
Vinci breaks to go 3-1 up in the second set!

Agga :rose:.

Vinci v Errani could be more awkward then Tomic v Dolgoplov at the Australian Open.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 08:49 PM
Radwanska breaks back! :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 08:57 PM
Women's tennis. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:07 PM
Two match points for Vinci!

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:08 PM
Vinci had it on her racquet, annihilates the net instead.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:08 PM
Vinci wins 6-1 6-4! :bow:

Radwanska. :doh:

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:10 PM
Muzza vs Raonic could start at midnight apparently. Needs Cilic to finish off his match, which does seem likely.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:14 PM
Cilic wins 7-5 6-4 6-0. :lol:

Didn't take long.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 09:26 PM
Raonic hasn't been told the match might be on earlier.

:haha:

Dennis Bendtner
03-09-2012, 10:30 PM
Serena Williams thrashed Andrea Hlavackova 6-0 6-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open and cement her position as favourite.

Three-time champion Williams hit 31 winners and made only seven unforced errors to set up a clash against Serbia's Ana Ivanovic.

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/vader.jpg

I suppose one does not require our resident tennis expert to tell us the beast is likely to win.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 10:56 PM
Radwanska :doh:.


Rain better stay the fuck away.

Anyone watching it? If Raonic serves well, there will probably about six rallies in the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 11:05 PM
Yeah I'll watch it. I think I will watch the first hour/set downstairs before watching it with my eyes half closed upstairs.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 11:34 PM
David Ornstein is doing live text commentary. :lol:

Can't do with just finding out about transfer rumours now.

McNamara That Ghost...
03-09-2012, 11:51 PM
I don't get why Raonic stands so far behind the baseline.

Master Splinter
03-09-2012, 11:56 PM
Raonic is the very definition of a beast.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:13 AM
Murray had a decent chance there to break.

You should get the set instantly when you break the serve of giant freaks.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:19 AM
Murray breaks with another successful drop shot. Two double-faults from Raonic though.

Murray serving for the set at 5-4.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:20 AM
Kirilenko and Petrova on the verge of knocking Serena and Venus out of the doubles. They're a set and a break up.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:23 AM
Murray takes the first set 6-4!

He was getting a real hold of Raonic's serve by the end of the set.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 12:25 AM
Raonic has to move in closer, he doesn't have the range to beast it out from so far back like Del Potro can.

Cripps_orig

What round are we in?

McNamara That Ghost...

What a shot. :lol:

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:32 AM
What a point from Murray!

Ridiculous.

McNamara That Ghost...

04-09-2012, 12:45 AM
Lovely touch for a big man.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 12:46 AM
Deuce. Well saved by Raonic on two break points.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:47 AM
Despite being massive, coming to the net is proving absolutely suicidal for Raonic.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 12:47 AM
Murray break, 3-2 in the second.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 12:54 AM
Murray taking the piss.

Ole tennis.

Will probably end in tears.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:05 AM
Raonic saved two set points to hold and Murray will serve for it now.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:10 AM
Murray serves it out to love with an ace.

6-4 6-4.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:26 AM
A brilliant angled forehand gives Murray two more break points and he breaks on the second one.

2-1.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:43 AM
Murray breaks again and will serve for the match at 5-2.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:47 AM
Murray wins 6-4 6-4 6-2.

A bit of a lesson.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 01:59 AM
Djokovic v Wawrinka third on Arthur Ashe tomorrow.

Del Potro v Roddick the first evening session match. Should be fun. I think Roddick has a good chance.

Well done to Muzza, Raonic looked like a lumbering oaf.

Also, Azarenka vs Stosur is on now. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...

Azarenka leads 3-0 and to serve!

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 03:54 PM
It's crazy that they don't have covers on the courts because it looks 'unseemly'. They could easily design covers with the US Open logo on them, surely?

McNamara That Ghost...

Thankfully the security know who he is.

Stosur is serving to stay in the first set at 1-5.

McNamara That Ghost...

Azarenka takes the first set 6-1.

McNamara That Ghost...

Stosur breaks and leads 4-3 in the second set!

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 05:43 PM
Stosur takes the second set 6-4.

:popcorn:

David Ferrer took the first set against Gasquet 7-5.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:05 PM
Azarenka breaks, 3-1 she leads in the third set.

Been a match of quite high quality.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:08 PM
Stosur breaks straight back. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:13 PM
4-2, Azarenka breaks again.

Me. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:21 PM
4-3. :haha: Stosur to serve.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:26 PM
Finally a hold of serve, 4-4.

Very windy out there.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:44 PM
Tiebreak time to decide the match.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 06:48 PM
Azarenka leads 2-4 at the changeover, one serve for Stosur remaining.

Master Splinter
04-09-2012, 06:49 PM
Ferrer v Gasquet into a tie-break in the second set. Gasquet was a break up.

Azarenka v Stosur changes momentum every minute.

McNamara That Ghost...

5-3 up, Azarenka with a massive double fault. :doh:

04-09-2012, 08:29 PM
It's funny how McEnroe gets the reputation of being a prick on court and Connors seems to get away with it.

Probably because McEnroe has built his entire post-tennis career on it and dined out the shtick surrounding him?

Connors stepped away from the limelight for the most part and is not really a 'personality' either.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 08:40 PM
There is that, McEnroe can't help but reference those things every single time. Think he is encouraged to by the goons on BBC's coverage though.

Charlie, they are at Roland Garros I think - well, they're thinking about it anyway.

Also, players are back out on court. Been changed to the schedule so Del Potro and Roddick aren't delayed by too much. Stan vs Djokovic will be on Armstrong after Ferrer vs Gasquet has concluded.

McNamara That Ghost...
04-09-2012, 08:45 PM
Bartoli breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set.

Sharapova. :lol:

I don't think Castle and Barker commissioned all the terrible adverts he's appeared in or his numerous cameos in dreck like Wimbledon.

No but they are the ones that plant the seeds of references everytime somebody has a disagreement with an umpire. He doesn't help himself though, it's true.

I haven't watched Wimbledon, I figured it would be a bit shit.

Tenth seed Errani, 25, was playing in her third Grand Slam quarter-final of the year while best friend Vinci, four years older, was making her last-eight debut at a major.

The pair have won seven doubles titles in 2012, a haul which includes the French Open, but it was Errani's greater big-match experience that proved decisive.

"It's always hard to play against a friend and it was strange seeing her on the other side of the net," said Errani, who has four singles titles to her name this year.

"I am happy to get to the semi-finals. Can I win the title? I will tell you in three or four days."
