King of Clay. :bow:

Nadal playing like a pub-teamer so far.

[Master Splinter]

Tennis thread showing signs of life :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal is on the board, love service.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here come the Muzza brainfarts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He holds on with a pummelled crosscourt forehand, 1-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal down to seventh in the rankings with a defeat. :blink:

That will cause havoc at Roland Garros. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Nadal.

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just long with the forehand, one break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza holds on, Nadal serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Muzza. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks and leads 1-0 in the second set!

Nadal. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :lol:.

[Master Splinter]

Hve you warmed to Muzza, or is it just that you hate Nadal?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal. :rose:

Give it up Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hve you warmed to Muzza, or is it just that you hate Nadal?

It's just the ranking of who I want to win, Muzza always above Nadal. Plus it will be good to see him not pub it up on clay.

Although in fairness Donald Young is ahead of Nadal in that too.

[Master Splinter]

Fucking hell.

Nadal getting battered.

Muzzatron :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal framing it. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

The downside to this is Castle feverishly going through the permutations of how Murray will win the French Open.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza able to dominate it by attacking Nadal's backhand.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The downside to this is Castle feverishly going through the permutations of how Murray will win the French Open.

Djokovic would kill himself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Muzza again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Andrew Murray just dropped the Ashes.

[Master Splinter]

Murray you idiot :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forehand up the line, break point again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks again, 3-0!

Giving Nadal a torrid time. And he actually is.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :haha:.

That sitter was a bigger miss than the one against Nadal at Wimbledon though.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal's head's gone!

The crowd are literally crying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4. :popcorn:

Nadal to get bagelled on clay for the first time since 2007?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal needs to take lessons from Raonic on running around the backhand at every opportunity. His backhand is dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, 4-1 he trails.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal to get bagelled on clay for the first time since 2007?

You ruined it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza still feeling charitable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal serving to stay in the Championship!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, Muzza to serve it out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point for Muzza!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza beats Nadal 6-3 6-2 to win the Madrid Masters; his first Masters title on Clay! :bow:

Nadal. :haha:

Marketing. :haha:

On to Rome we go, though I don't think Muzza will play.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza :bow: :bow:.

Nadal couldn't handle his blistering second serve today.

Nadal :haha:.

Beaten by a clay court novice in only his second final on the surface.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arguably the greatest clay courter of our generation, Rusedski? :sarcy:

[Master Splinter]

Arguably the greatest clay courter of our generation, Rusedski? :sarcy:

The likes of Nadal and Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Him and Fognini. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Unbeaten as a married man :bow:.

Federer and Djokovic don't have that record.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal blaming the ref.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're still in austerity. Rusedski is being employed as a translator.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Magnificent trophy? What is it?

[Master Splinter]

WTF is that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It just looks like something ripped from a Victorian warehouse.

[Master Splinter]

Tbf, I think Nadal just wanted a plate instead of that tacky travesty.

Can't blame him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan took the first set 7-6 (9-7) after being 2-6 down in the tie-break.

He has just gone up a break in the second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan has the double break!

Nadal in danger of not having a Masters title on clay for the first time in 11 years I think.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan is bludgeoning the ball. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Worst smash of all time from Stan, went out of the doubles court!

:haha:

Break point Nadal, second in this game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another break point saved with Stan drilling the ball. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another break point saved! AO Stan is back. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stannis Wawrinka holds on, Nadal serving to stay in the match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, Stan to serve it out. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ben Stiller is there. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal!

Stan. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan beats Nadal 7-6 (9-7) 6-2!!!!

Stan. :bow:

He plays Old Man Feed next.

Nadal. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic beat David Ferrer 6-4 6-4 to reach the final.

Old Man Feed just broke Stan back, trailing 2-3 though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The court is in a terrible condition, it's like a quarry. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss fom Stan!

Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved. Fed. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a crosscourt backhand return winner from the Old Man!

Serving for the first set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Federer. Stan has lost his mind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And breaks to love!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan has managed to play one match at No.1 seed level and another at Challenger within 24 hours.

Seriously impressive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three more break points, Fed with winner after winner in this game. And takes the break!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed shits on his buddy Stan 6-4 6-2!

Djokovic - Federer again.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic and Federer finally on court.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand from Feed.

2-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds on, 4-5 he leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer serve and volleying to stop two set points going against him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-4. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed had a senile moment there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks in the second set. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-4 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Federer :haha:.

Djokovic is basically the T-1000 now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's all down to the King of Clay Muzza. :bow:

Although not sure I can begrudge Djokovic winning Roland Garros.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feed beat Karlovic 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) to reach the Halle final. Again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed has Seppi in the final.

Muzza is probably going to beat Troicki in the Aegon Targaryen Championships today, he'll have Anderson later today in the final. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

First deuce game. This being on Seppi's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play stopped to close the roof.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is a lot quicker to close the roof here than in wimbledon. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All done in about four minutes.

Wimbledon. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi with a great backhand down the line, he holds on and leads 3-4 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Airshot from Seppi. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Seppi!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi just couldn't rally. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man holds on, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Seppi. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clutcherer saves them with two aces. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed flukes it on Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Incredible point. Fed hangs on. One more point to enforce a tie-break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a forehand winner from Fed. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 7-6 (7-1).

Seppi capitulated really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a return winner down the line. Break point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi somehow saving it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

Finish him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seppi holds on, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two Championship points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beats Seppi 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 to win Halle for the 8th time!!!

His 86th career title. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

In between Kyrgios behaving like a little shit, some tennis was played this week too.

Djokovic v Murray in the Montreal Masters final at 20:00.

Bencic gave Serena only her second defeat of the year yesterday and is currently 4-2 up against Halep in the Toronto final. Hingis the coach :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic v Murray starting in a few minutes.

[Kano]

The computer never lies.

[Kano]

Novak already stretching out Andy's serve. Teeing up to be quite the battle.

[Master Splinter]

If Murray doesn't even attempt some slight changes to his game against Djokovic, he's never going to overcome him.

When the other guy is that bit better than you in every aspect: technically, physically, mentally, you should surely give him something new to think about.

Wenger out.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza finally converts his sixth break point to go 3-1 up!

[Kano]

More juice.

Muz has been knawing on red meat before this game.

[Syn]

I'd 4-1 be a Djokovic fan right now.

[Master Splinter]

Murray holds on to go 4-1 up.

[Master Splinter]

Bencic beat Halep 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (4-7) 3-0 to win the Rogers Cup in Toronto!

She is little bit real deal.

Hingis the coach :bow:.

Swiss tennis :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Murray has the best cross-court combed forehand in the game, closely followed by Federer.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic saves two more break points to survive and take it to 4-2.

Muzza lapse coming up.

[Syn]

fucksake muzza land your first serve

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

Djokovic breaks back.

Murray has taken 1 of 8 break points. Djokovic takes his first.

Should be set over, instead Djokovic is back in it. Muzza really is the Arsenal of tennis.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray showing up against Djokovic :faint:

[Master Splinter]

Muzza should have challenged.

What a moran :doh:.

[adzzzbatch]

No the umpire can fuck off!

[Syn]

Umpire should be sacked. What the fuck is he on about? So arrogant as well.

[adzzzbatch]

Nice!

[adzzzbatch]

Justice done.

[adzzzbatch]

Wow 4% recycled batteries!

[Kano]

And where is Wenger in all of this? Just sitting there, picking his nose.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic has mind gamed the fuck out of Muzza here. From almost being 5-2 up to almost losing the set and not challenging that call.

#mindgames

[adzzzbatch]

Djokovic has mind gamed the fuck out of Muzza here. From almost being 5-2 up to almost losing the set and not challenging that call.

Djokovic :lol:. Awlful mind gamer.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray takes the first set 6-4!

Djokovic :lol:. Awlful mind gamer.

Wenger :doh: *











*just because

[Kano]

mourinho of the tennis world...

Except Novak doesn't drink baby's blood.

Yet.

[Master Splinter]

Except Novak doesn't drink baby's blood.

Yet.

It has too much gluten in it.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS :rolleyes:

[adzzzbatch]

Where was the umpire then :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic breaks to love. :haha:

[Kano]

It has too much gluten in it.

Boris makes up for it.

[Kano]

6-1 coming up.

[adzzzbatch]

6-1 coming up.

more than likely........

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic was probably on the ganja again in the first set.

[adzzzbatch]

Djokovic was probably on the ganja again in the first set.

:lol:

[Kano]

Two breaks needed at least for Andy. Best just to skip to the third.

[adzzzbatch]

Ollie was in the crowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dropshot from the back of the court, always looks awful.

[Master Splinter]

Murray's break point conversion rate :lol:.

[adzzzbatch]

Come on Andy!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks back, 3-3!

[Kano]

Muzztastic

[adzzzbatch]

Great rally.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray's 2nd serve :doh:

[Kano]

Andy :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

Sort that shit out!

[Master Splinter]

Muzza struggling.

Time for some sledging tbh.

"Henman banged your wife. Sorry to tell you that mate."

[adzzzbatch]

Muzza struggling.

Time for some sledging tbh.

"Henman banged your wife. Sorry to tell you that mate."

I can imagine Murray's passive response to that.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic takes the second set 6-4.

Murray :rose:.

[Kano]

Muzza struggling.

Time for some sledging tbh.

"Henman banged your wife. Sorry to tell you that mate."
No-one would ever believe that. He couldn't even reach a semi.

[Master Splinter]

No-one would ever believe that. He couldn't even reach a semi.

Six grand slam semis tbf. :coffee:

[Kano]

You could've just played along for innuendo sake, Statto.

[adzzzbatch]

lolz

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza in trouble, Djokovic's reign of terror set to continue.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza just dropped the Ashes, as a great man would say.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza reclaimed the Ashes and broke Djokovic to go 2-0 up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks. :bow:

[Kano]

Murray just not 'aving it.

Those exchanges were amazing. 3-0.
