French Open May 26-June 9

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two of them saved. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monstrous return from Djokovic, gave Nadal no chance.

Djokovic leads 1-0 in the fifth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I cringe everytime Djokovic has a smash coming up. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And that's why. Break point for Nadal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal would've had a free court had he not fumbled the return.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holy shit. :haha:

Djokovic fights it out and holds though, 0-2 in the fifth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really the time for a double fault.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It matters not though as Djokovic holds, 1-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Nadal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's even worse for Nadal putting in a double fault at this stage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand from Nadal. :haha:

That to stop it being break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And then he ballses it up in to the net. :doh:

Deuce on Nadal's serve. He has to hold here you would think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, 3-2 he trails.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just realised Djokovic would have beaten Nadal at all four Slams if he wins this. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-4, love service for Nole.

Nadal has to summon up some serious balls to recover this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3, Djokovic to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-30, terrible return from Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:wacko: Brave hitting out wide from Nole.

30-30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF Nadal? Possibly his worst forehand ever. Deuce.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:doh:

He didn't need to do that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic loses the point by touching the net! Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic just won't let it go. Wow. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks back, it's 4-4. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, Djokovic now serving to stay in the match. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an unbelievable shot from Nadal. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal throwing his body at everything. 5-5. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal with the tennis version of the imaginary waving yellow card. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, Djokovic again serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-6. Isner Mahut. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic again serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A hotdog back to Djokovic leads to a smash, which he fucks up!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

7-7. :popcorn:

Easy to forget there is a second semi-final yet to be played. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic yet again has to serve to stay in the match. 7-8.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points for Nadal. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-7 (3-7) 9-7! Djokovic defeated by running in to the net.

Great match though it's dissapointing Nadal will be in another final here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 6-4 3-6 6-1 6-7 (3-7) 9-7! Djokovic defeated by running in to the net.

Great match though it's dissapointing Nadal will be in another final here.

[Cripps_orig]

Djokovics best ever chance for a French open and he bottled it.

Nadal was at 50% the whole tournament and walks it to the trophy

:goodpost:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set.

France. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for David Ferrer. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And break he does. 4-0.

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Is there anyone left in the crowd watching this?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tsonga avoids a bagel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They will probably leave soon. David Ferrer takes the first set 6-1. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tsonga led 3-0. 3-4 now after double fault to give DF the break. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-4. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Tsonga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not taken. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer holds though, 5-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer misses a sitter on break point. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tiebreak time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 to David Ferrer. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just five set points then...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant dropshot. David Ferrer takes the second set 7-6 (7-3)! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer breaks and leads 3-1 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tsonga is serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer hammers Tsonga 6-1 7-6 (7-3) 6-2!

He is through to his first Slam final. :bow:

Tsonga was abysmal, or maybe back to the true level.

[Master Splinter]

The Djokovic v Nadal match was mental. Pub-team tennis at times, but still awlsome entertainment. Nadal should really have won it in the fourth set, but Djokovic is just ridiculous when in danger.

Tsonga :doh:. What an idiot. He's proven today he's firmly a second-tier player. The fact he lost to Ferrer isn't surprising, but going down like that in the biggest match of your career is telling.

Ferrer :bow:. Great achievement for a brilliant player.

Sadly, Ferrer will be easier for Nadal than Tsonga (in Beast Mode) would have been.

[Cripps_orig]

Watching the highlights.

The big 4 should just play each other all the time. Only time tennis is worth watching these days

[Cripps_orig]

The rafa v Novak match got hour and 20 minutes coverage.

The other semi gets 10 :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

We all Sharapova fans today?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It'd be good to see a competitive Women's final, they rarely happen.

[Master Splinter]

About to start soon.

7-5 6-3 to Serena.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova's serve. :lol:

It's going to get crushed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sharapova breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set. :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Sharapova breaks!!!!!

2-0

She was 0-40 on her serve in the opening game as well

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks back. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Serena breaks back but if and it's a big if it goes on like this, we have a classic on our hands

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks again. 3-2.

[Cripps_orig]

Sharapova breaks back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two Championship points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena wins 6-4 6-4.

We all predicted she'd win the French Open so well done us.

[Cripps_orig]

Closer than I thought it would be.

Serena is just too good.

Sharapova looked very good. Her tennis wasn't bad either.

[Cripps_orig]

Doubt il watch the men's final.

Nadal to win in 3

Will lose 7 games in total

[Master Splinter]

Serena :bow:.

Sharapova :haha:.


Bryan/Bryan won the men's doubles against Llodra/Mahut.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal v Ferrer starting soon.

How many games will Dabeed win?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod it, nobody else will predict him winning. David Ferrer in four.

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Players are out

We all know Nadal is winning.

We shoulda predict how many games Ferrer will win

I say 7

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least it's not baking hot there. It being damp (well likely to be damp) gives David Ferrer a better chance than he otherwise would.

[Cripps_orig]

Usain Bolt to present the trophy I think

[Cripps_orig]

Ferrer holds to love.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on!

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't get broken FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Nadal.

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That went out in a double's court.

Nadal leads 2-1.

:rose:

[Cripps_orig]

At least Ferrer was in it for a game or two

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal's forehand goes missing, break point for David Ferrer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a crap backhand.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That one was much better. :whistle:

Adv. David Ferrer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's 2-2! How long was that rally?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Nadal missed that? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer holds, 2-3.

Mullins calls him a big underdog. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He fends them both off. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. David Ferrer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a rally. :blink:

Deuce.

[Cripps_orig]

Doesn't Ferrer ever get tired?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal eventually holds, 4-1.

[Cripps_orig]

Fans :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man with a flare on court. They were quicker on to him than when some moran hounded Fed in 2009.

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf are they protesting about?

Just fuck off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer gets one of the breaks back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a shot to save break point. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks and will serve for the Championship.

[Cripps_orig]

Ferrer as far as pub teamers go is a good one but still a pub teamer

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 6-3 6-2 6-3.

Clay is done with for another year.

[Cripps_orig]

Was one game out in my how many games will Ferrer win prediction.

Would have been spot on had it not been for this ****s distracting Nadal.

Anyway final went as everyone expected.

Congratulations to Nadal.

Ferrer is the Everton of tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only Ashley Giles can be a non-Spanish King of Spain, Inverdale.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :bow: :bow:.

8 French Opens in 9 years.

Only one defeat ever at Rolland Garros.

First player to win 8 titles at a Grand Slam.

What a freak.


Ferrer goes above Nadal in the rankings tomorrow though. :scarf:

[Syn]

Nadal :haha: :haha:

Fails to win a French Open once in the last 9 years.

He has lost at Rolland Garros.

Bit of a one Grand Slam pony, isn't he?

What a non-freak freak.

Ferrer goes above Nadal in the rankings tomorrow. :haha:


(Sorry, just practicising.)

[Cripps_orig]

Do FIFA do the rankings for tennis as well?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wimbledon have their own rankings but I never know how it actually works - it always seems to follow the actual world rankings.

And if that's the case, one of Fed, Djokovic, Muzza and David Ferrer will have Nadal as a QF opponent, unless he gets Rosol'd again of course.

[Letters]

Nadal :haha: :haha:

Fails to win a French Open once in the last 9 years.

He has lost at Rolland Garros.

Bit of a one Grand Slam pony, isn't he?

What a non-freak freak.

Ferrer goes above Nadal in the rankings tomorrow. :haha:
