Tsonga or Cilic next for him.

Murray vs Cilic is on soon.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-03-2013, 07:23 PM
Cilic breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set. :lol:

Muzza had numerous break points on Cilic's serve too.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-03-2013, 08:53 PM
Murray has had a silly amount of match points, still can't close it out.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-03-2013, 08:54 PM
Murray finally wins 6-4 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-03-2013, 11:47 PM
Gasquet is having a good season, finally.

Just took the first set against Berdych 6-3. Awlsome shot making.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-03-2013, 11:59 PM
What a passing shot. So far back behind the base line and way out wide too!

Gasquet leads 2-0 in the second set. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
29-03-2013, 12:26 AM
Gasquet wins 6-3 6-3!

Berdych. :lol:

Muzza next for Gasquet tomorrow.

If Murray wins the tournament then he will go 2nd in the rankings and thus will be seeded 2nd for the French Open so there's a chance he won't have to face any of the other 3 til the final

If Murray wins the tournament then he will go 2nd in the rankings and thus will be seeded 2nd for the French Open so there's a chance he won't have to get mauled by Nadal until the final

Just corrected your moderate mistake there.

Cripps_orig
29-03-2013, 11:36 AM
Pretty much.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-03-2013, 11:48 AM
Only if David Ferrer does well and pushes Nadal back to No.5. Fairly likely though given Nadal can't really gain too many points in the clay events prior to Roland Garros.

I don't think it'll make much difference for Murray anyway.

Cripps_orig
30-03-2013, 12:58 AM

Syn

Murray about to beat Gasquet.

Muzza could take Nadal. It's nice to have the Nadal comeback hype but Murray would just bore him until he breaks down injured.

Quality these days, is new Tim.

Syn
30-03-2013, 01:16 AM
Muzza wins 6-7, 6-1, 6-2. Stepped it up when needed and embarrassed Gasquet. What a player. One of the greatest of all time. How unfortunate that he's in a generation of freaks. Nevertheless, he's right up there and set to win Wimbledon this year.

Cripps_orig

McNamara That Ghost...

I'd have thought Murray would have learnt his lesson on not wasting challenges by now.

McNamara That Ghost...
31-03-2013, 04:34 PM
Murray breaks and leads 2-1 in the second set.

McNamara That Ghost...
31-03-2013, 04:46 PM
Muzza double fault. Two break points for David Ferrer.

McNamara That Ghost...
31-03-2013, 04:46 PM
Not a bad swipe there. One of them saved.

McNamara That Ghost...
31-03-2013, 04:47 PM

Serena beat Sharapova 4-6 6-3 6-0 in the women's final yesterday.

Serena's 11th win in a row against her.

Sharapova's 5th Miami final loss.

Sharapova :haha:.

Has to be the biggest gulf between first and second in sporting history.

Women's rankings :lol:.

Serena joins Graf, Evert and Navratilova in winning an event 6 times. Serena :bow:.

Two break points for Murray. A bit low quality at times this one.

Ridiculous dropshot from Djokovic to get the double break in the second set. He took the first set against Nieminen 6-3.

McNamara That Ghost...

Tsonga was 5-1 down in the second set, two break points now for Tsonga. Would put him at 4-5. :lol:

There's a reason he hasn't lost here since he was 16.

His race is run. Until Rome, maybe Madrid. Well alright he'll probably win in Barcelona too. Apart from that though.

Nadal vs Almagro in the final of Barcelona today.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2013, 06:35 PM
And Nadal won, 6-4 6-3.

David Ferrer had a shocker in this tournent so I imagine Nadal will be back to No.4 soon. Fed must be little bit happy, given it's nearly nailed on he will be back to No.3 again.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2013, 09:53 AM
Madrid Masters starts today. :popcorn:

Always going to be the clay tournament that Nadal most likely will fail at, though of course, he still often wins it.

Fed is defending his title, no blue clay this year sadly. Nadal and Fed would be the semi-final, Djokovic and Muzza on the other side of the draw.

Master Splinter
06-05-2013, 10:04 AM
Fat Stan won the Estoril Open, beating Ferrer 6-1 6-4. :blink: He's having a good year.

Haas beat Kohlschreiber 6-3 7-6 (7-3) to win the BMW Open in Munich. Up to 13th in the world, his highest ranking for 5 years. Time for him to break down again.

Master Splinter
06-05-2013, 10:09 AM
Blue clay :lol:. It was awlful. Only Maccy and Federer favoured it.

Nadal being fifth seed and getting the harder draw shouldn't really make a difference.

Murray's form before Wimbledon was a bit shit and Federer has points to defend here and elsewhere, so if Murray can't cement his number two status, he should really retire.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2013, 10:16 AM
As Madrid and Rome are back-to-back does that mean the rankings for this will be the same rankings for there?

Either way, as long as Nadal goes up to fourth, Fed can breathe easy at Roland Garros. Hopefully.

Master Splinter
06-05-2013, 10:23 AM
Djokovic will play Dimitrov or Marti.

Muzza will play Florian Mayer or Matosevic.

Federer will play Stepanek, who beat Tomic. Tomic :lol:.

Nadal will play Paire or Souza.


In the women's tournament, Wozniacki went out in the first round to Shvedova. :lol:

Robson plays Aga Radwanska in the second round later. Robbo :rose:
