Worst celebrity match in history coming up here...

[Rors]

Henman introduced as a "great of the game"....

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf no other player has a hill named after him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Overend has been drafted in to commentate on this one.

'Dream match' I think Overend is reaching for.

No.

[Rors]

Berdych :lol: One for his "what the fuck am I doing here?" file

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Lendl. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Lendl is awesome

Murray hit Boris :lol:

[Rors]

What the hell? A tower of doom spot? :wacko:

[Cripps_orig]

Michael McIntyre :bow:

Winners galore from McIntyre. :blink:

[Rors]

Novelty - such that it was - wearing off bigtime now..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Team Tiger Tim wins. :bow:

Muzza. :lol:

[The Wengerbabies]

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Lendl and McEnroe :lol:

Never heard of the pubber though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The 7 time Slam champion Wilander?

Anyway, Inverdale is back to hosting duties at Eastbourne.

Watson and Robbo are playing in this tournament.

Ivanovic crashed out in the first round. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wickmayer beats Kvitova 3-6 6-4 7-5. :lol:

Kirilenko beat Baltacha 4-6 6-4 6-3.

Robson vs Wozniacki is on now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brave call from Inverdale - this will be done in two sets, or it might go to a third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wozniacki takes the first set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wozniacki up a break in the second set, 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wozniacki is serving for the match.

Vesnina takes the first set 6-1 against Watson. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific miss from Robson.

Wozniacki takes the match 6-4 6-4. Robbo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watson takes the second set 6-3. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Horrific miss from Robson.

Wozniacki takes the match 6-4 6-4. Robbo. :lol:

Inverdale was right. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He saw why I couldn't see happening.

Watson lost 6-1 3-6 6-2. Bit of a shocker really as Vesnina is a pub teamer. Good at doubles though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hampton beat Wozniacki 6-7 (8-10) 7-5 6-3. :lol:

She'll face Vesnina in the final at Eastbourne after she hammered Wickmayer 6-2 6-0. :blink:

[Master Splinter]

Hampton's playing Stephens in the first round of Wimbledon. Unlucky for both, considering Hampton will be well in the top 30 by then too.


Lopez beat Dodig 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 in the men's tournament. He'll likely play Simon, who's about to beat Seppi.

Mahut will play Fat Stan in the Unicef Open final.

[Master Splinter]

Apology to David Lloyd

On Wednesday, 12 June during a studio discussion on BBC Two, after rain interrupted play at the Aegon Tennis Championships at The Queen's Club, the BBC's commentator Andrew Castle suggested there were issues in the personal life of David Lloyd which made him unsuitable to be considered for the role of CEO of the Lawn Tennis Association.
Mr Castle would wish to make clear that his comments were without foundation and apologises to Mr Lloyd for any embarrassment or distress caused.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/22988896

Castle is an utter fuckwit. I'm sure he records the sound of his own voice and listens back to the recordings in between toilet breaks from his Castle On TV Sky+ catch-up.

[Master Splinter]

Vesnina killed Hampton 6-2 6-1 in the Eastbourne women's final. Both will be dangerous floaters at Wimbledon.


Lopez beat Simon 7-6 (7-2) 6-7 (5-7) 6-0 to win the men's tournament. They'll play each other in the first round at Wimbledon too :lol:. Wimbledon draw :doh:.


Mahut beat Fat Stan 6-3 6-4 to win the Unicef Open title.

Mahut's first ATP title :scarf:.

Mahut on grass :bow:.

Fat Stan :lol:.


And in news that even their mothers glanced over, Halep beat Flipkens 6-4 6-2 to win the women's Unicef Open title.

Articles like this piss me off with their ambiguity.

What did Castle say?

[Master Splinter]

Articles like this piss me off with their ambiguity.

What did Castle say?

There was discussion about who should be the next LTA Chief and when they suggested David Lloyd, Castle started alluding to personal problems. Everyone seemed bemused, either because it was bullshit or because Castle was bringing up apparent personal problems on live TV.

The salient point though is that Castle talks far too much about everything but has nothing worthwhile to say about anything. His oily, sleazy demeanour is a bonus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

25 minutes until Muzza time.

[Cripps_orig]

So it begins

The programme about the best player in British history

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's no Bunny Austin tbf.

Fergie with a Man Utd top. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Dunblane :bow:

Wasn't Murray actually there on that day in school?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

His grandad played for Hibs? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dunblane :bow:

Wasn't Murray actually there on that day in school?

Yeah he was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal. :lol:

Looking like an Old Man too now.

[Cripps_orig]

Has he ever talked about it?

Great for dunblane to see one of their own become as great as Muzza has.

Nadal mentions play station ::bow:

Xbox :pal:

[Marc Overmars]

Good show this.

Muzza. :bow:

His year for sure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Just got my question answered

Muzza :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Fergie. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck off Corden.

[Cripps_orig]

James Corden :bow:

A list celebs coming out in force for Muzza

[Cripps_orig]

Dogs :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza in wellies. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match played under the roof from the second set onwards again, apparently.

[Cripps_orig]

The bit where he won all our hearts :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kevin Spacey. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Jana Novotna :pal:

He won Agassi and Spaceys heart

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed's annihilation at the Olympics is on its way. :sick:

[Cripps_orig]

A shame that despite winning 7 wimbledons and other slams, Federer will always be known as the guy who got his ass handed to him on the 2nd biggest sporting stage of them all, Olympics.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In true Olympic spirit though, he won a silver medal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petchey. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Lendl say he called him on the cock?

[Cripps_orig]

Still a massive miscarriage of justice that he didn't win SPOTY.

Fair enough if he lost out to Mo Farah or Ennis but to a genuine pubber whose name I can't even remember in an Olympic year :doh:

British public had a shocker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Simon Fuller just looks weird.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's time for the ice bath.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

US Open footage on the BBC. :yikes:

[Cripps_orig]

They're actually showing bits of the US open final

[Cripps_orig]

Djokovic :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed has entered the Swiss Open, as a wildcard. :lol:

Although this does sound worryingly like a bit of a farewell tour kinda thing. It could be that he just needs to consistently gain points for the WTF though I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Fed. :bow:

Hamburg starts next Sunday.

[Master Splinter]

Roger Federer falls to fifth in world rankings after Wimbledon exit

:haha:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/23226313

Roger LOLderer.

ROFLger FAILderer.

[Cripps_orig]

How does that affect his ranking in the US open?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He'd be fifth as it stands so that's probably part of the reason why he is vulturing a 500 and 250 tournament. Might not be the worst thing for him avoiding Berdych though. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Shazza appoints Jimmy Connors as coach

She's awesome

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Day One "Change it up".

Day Two "Change it up".

[Syn]

I bet he's going to coach her brains out. #jim'llfixit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Verdasco beat Dimitrov 7-6 (7-3) 5-7 7-5 in the Bastad semi-final. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Fed has Brands in the Second Round of the German Open. Not sure if that is tomorrow or Wednesday; I'd imagine it was tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's today he is playing. He has changed his racquet, so that must be why he is playing the two clay touraments, gone from 90 to 98 inch. Shame he has given in to a more powerful racquet but no point being a martyr I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer and Brands are on court now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah, Feederer again. :lol:

Forgot that's how they pronounce it in Germany.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great dropshot from Fed, followed up by a terrible backhand. :lol:

3-3 in the first set, Brands to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Feederer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both saved. Old habits die hard. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands holds, 3-4 he leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Brands. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands breaks on the second of them and will serve for the first set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands takes the first set 6-3. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for newracqueterer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks to love and leads 3-1 in the second set. :scarf:

Conversion rates. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands serving to stay in the second set.

Gulbis is a break down in the third set against Hajek, whoever that is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the second set 6-3.

On to a decider. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 2-1 in the third set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more break points for Feederer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed hammers a forehand down the line (not a winner) on the second of them. 4-1 in the third set now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hajek beats Gulbis 6-4 2-6 6-4. Gulbis. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Completely blown. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third match point now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand from Brands. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth match point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer does win 3-6 6-3 6-2! :bow: Hajek next for him tomorrow.

[Master Splinter]

Old Man Feed :bow:.

As a great man often says, well done to him.

[Cripps_orig]

Martina Hingis comes out of retirement.

[Master Splinter]

For the 678984557967964th time.

The new Rocky.

[GP]

I used to have a crush on her back in the day.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed vs Hajek is on soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Feederer. Similar shot as against Djokovic in the WTF final last year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hajek flukes the break back, 2-3. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb moonballing from Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb backhand to save another break point for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he holds, 3-4 he leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There have been some entertaining points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Second set point for Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Booming forehand down the line, third set point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth set point. Come on you moran.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with a dropshot. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fifth set point. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer finally gets it and takes the first set 6-4! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great crosscourt backhand, two break points for Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he takes it. 4-2 in the second set.

[LDG]

Fark. How quick are they playing the second set? :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer hurries matches along, he can have a three set match in about 70 minutes. :lol: Five sets in two hours.

Two match points for Feed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both blown, third match point now though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :haha:

I want to know his conversion rate. Must be hilariously bad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point No.4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Complete shank. Deuce again.

Fifth match point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh FFS. :haha: Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hajek finally holds, Feed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more match points, on his serve this time though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feederer finally wins 6-4 6-3! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed beat Mayer 7-6 (7-4) 3-6 7-5 :bow:

Delbonis (who) beat Verdasco and that's who he will face in the semi-final today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fognini beat Alamagro 6-4 7-6 (7-1) to reach the final in Hamburg.

Fed's match is on soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Old Man breaks at the first opportunity he gets :faint:, 2-1 in the first set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feed is serving to stay in the first set at 4-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Which he does so to love.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Delbonis. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good first serve. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault brings up another for Delbonis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Same result as the first one. :lol: Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feed grinds it out. Tiebreak time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-4 now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third set point for Delbonis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-6. The conversion rate wasn't going to last forever I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth set point for Delbonis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

First serve to the rescue, again. 7-7.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit net play there, set point for Delbonis and on his own serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delbonis finally takes the first set 7-6 (9-7)!

Fed. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed leads 2-3 in the second set, Delbonis to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delbonis is a mini-Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed had to tough it out in that service game (like many others today). 3-4 he leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Feederer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb touch at the net. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delbonis holds, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's tiebreak time again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delbonis beats Federer 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-4). :doh:

On to the next pub team tournament for Feed.

[Cripps_orig]

I remember when Federer used to be good :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halle 2013. :bow:

Gone but never forgotten. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Old Man Feederer :haha:.

What an embarrassment he has become.

Muzza's rise to the top has destroyed him. He'll be remembered as the guy who appeared with Tiger Woods and Thierry Henry on some shaving commercial now. The Challenger tour beckons.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's the last one standing on the Gillette adverts though maybe not for long.

[Cripps_orig]

Keothavong has retired :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She will be missed. :unsure:

Also, Fed plays Brands today at Gstaad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And that match is on next, whenever that is.

Granollers took out Delbonis 6-2 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're on court now.

Old Man Feed. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands breaks and leads 4-2 in the first set. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed! Great point at 15-15. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands holds on, leads 2-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands takes the first set 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocker of a game gives Brands the break to lead 1-0 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great lob. Two break points for Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands whacks his way out of trouble, 2-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed had to save a match point but holds on, Brands to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brands wins 6-3 6-4. :doh:

Can only hope Fed sorts his life out during the HC season.

[Master Splinter]

Federer :haha: :haha:.

The quickest fall from grace since Arsenal.

Can't even bring myself to WUM him. Poor bastard.

First round defeat at the US Open coming up?

[Master Splinter]

Viktor Troicki has been banned for 18 months for a violation of anti-doping rules, the International Tennis Federation has announced.

The 27-year-old Serb, who recently reached the third round at Wimbledon, failed to provide a blood sample during the Monte Carlo Masters in April.

Troicki, ranked 53rd in the world, claimed he had asked for permission to be excused from the blood test because he was feeling unwell.

But the ITF rejected that explanation.

Troicki, who reached 12th in the world rankings in June 2011, will begin his suspension immediately and it will end on 24 January, 2015.

He becomes the fifth professional to serve a doping suspension in 2013 after Filippo Calorosi, Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, Dimitar Kutrovsky and Fernando Romboli.

The ITF said he had the right to appeal at the Court of Arbitration of Sport.

Troicki must also forfeit all of the prize money and rankings points he earned at the Monte Carlo tournament, where he was beaten 6-1 6-2 by Finland's Jarkko Nieminen in the first round.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/23459655

Troicki you moran. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer :haha: :haha:.

The quickest fall from grace since Arsenal.

Can't even bring myself to WUM him. Poor bastard.

First round defeat at the US Open coming up?

Five sets defeat to Kubot or something. :bow:

Troicki must be the worst doper ever. Isn't it supposed to enhance your performances? Or maybe the scary part is that it actually has.

[Master Splinter]

Brands is on the verge of losing to Hanescu, who leads 6-3 5-4.

Federer :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Hanescu beats Brands 6-3 6-4.

Federer :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

These pub teamers keep beating Feed and then crash out next round. :lol:

[Kano]

I had no idea about Fed crashing out.

He may as well sit in the stands for the US.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Didn't get to post this due to the great GW crash (and I since forgot to).

Cilic allegedly failed a test (suspected blood doping). :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montreal Masters this week. Tsonga pulled out I think and so did Old Man Feed with his Old Man Back. :(

The end is nigh. :rose:

Possible Djokovic vs Nadal semi-final. :popcorn:

Muzza - Del Potro QF based on seedings, though Muzza could have Dimitrov in the second round (failing that then his master Granollers).

Djokovic would have Tomic or Mayer in the second round. Nadal would have Levine or Malisse, so probably a lot easier.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza stamps :bow:.

http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2013/08/32/Murray-Royal-Mail-Stamps.aspx

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benneteau just double faulted so Janowicz will serve for the match. Went to a third set there.

Djokovic vs Mayer to follow after that, well some time anyway.

Tomic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Janowicz wins 3-6 6-3 7-5 to make the second round. He would be seeded to play Nadal in the third round.

Old Man Benneteau. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic annihilated Mayer 6-2 6-1, I think.

Muzza took the first set against Granollers 6-4.

That means Granollers beat Dimitrov in the first round. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Granollers leads 2-5 in the second set.

Muzza. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza gets the break back, still trails 4-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza wins 6-4 7-6 (7-2). Gulbis next for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feed's 32nd birthday today. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal beat Janowicz 7-6 (8-6) 6-4.

Muzza lost the first set to Gulbis 6-4 and is a break down in the second. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gulbis is serving for the match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gulbis beats Muzza 6-4 6-3! :bow:

Muzza. :haha:

Del Potro or Raonic next for Gulbis.

[Cripps_orig]

Hoping Muzza is saving his best for the big one and not for these pub team tournaments

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic beat Istomin 2-6 6-4 6-4. Gasquet for him today, Nadal has the bottle kicker Matosevic.

Pospisil of Canada beat Berdych 7-5 2-6 7-6 (7-5) and in fact is in to the semi finals now as Old Man Davydenko retired.

Also, Raonic of Canada beat Del Potro 7-5 6-4. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Murray :haha:.

The age of Muzza is well and truly over.

Muzza stamps to be destroyed?

[Master Splinter]

Raonic just beat Gulbis 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 6-4.

An all-Canadian semi-final :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza. :lol:

Post Slam drop-off like September - January last year?

Anyway, Djokovic vs Gasquet is on soon. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic took the first set 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic annihilates Gasquet 6-1 6-2. Nadal or Matosevic next for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal beat Matosevic 6-4 6-2 so it is Djokovic vs Nadal tonight in one of the semi-finals. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic took the first set 6-4, Pospisil took the second 6-1, Raonic leads 5-6 in the third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break to decide the match. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3 at the changeover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two match points for Raonic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic wins 6-4 1-6 7-6 (7-4) to make the Montreal final!

Djokovic vs Nadal is on at 1:10 am ish our time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a double fault gives it up to Nadal, he leads 1-0!

Djokovic looked awlsome in the first two points - all went to pot after that. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Nole!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, 2-0 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double faults galore from Djokovic. Nadal serving for the first set at 5-2. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point on the second of them. Djokovic does break but still trails 3-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal again serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the first set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic leads 3-4 in the second set, Nadal to serve.

Amazing point to take that game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic, from 40-0. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and will serve for the second set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Umpiring fuck-up. :lol:
