The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 Oz Open Nadal Out)

[champcruthik]

SP, thanks for the recap. I did see the majority of the third set. Seemed Berdych's serve improved a whole lot better from the first two disastrous sets. That point of controversy seemed to derail any momentum Tomas had acquired previously in the third set. Cilic broke his serve, Berdych ends up losing the tiebreaker fairly convincingly.

Must admit it will be difficult to keep close tabs like I would like on Fed/Monfils with the NFL opener taking all attention at the bar.

Brad Gilbert needs to go away, as do these pre and post match interviews

 

[thadangerousmind]

That's how I feel about Chris Evert. She gets on my damn nerves.

 

[shogun]

They need some former foreign players on the espn coverage. Would like to see some different people other than the usuals.

 

[perks]

Monfils takes the first...We might be in for a 5 setter here

 

[shogun]

Was that blonde they showed monfils' girl?

 

[aepps20]

Chris and Brad are both terrible but Pam Shriver and Mary Carillo are the worst.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Fed gonna let Monfeces straight set him smh.

 

[aepps20]

Tennis Player from France is playing well.

 

[Naruto]

dont think fed has gas for 5 sets

 

[aepps20]

Tennis Player from France is struggling now.

 

[aepps20]

Wow what a match.

 

[Naruto]

fed doesn't want to go home

 

[Chopper]

This is off the chain right now. Let's _'ing go Roger!

 

[Naruto]

does fed ever look tired? his face shows no fatigue

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Win or lose, that tenth game by Rog in the fourth was commendable. Very impressed by Gael's performance, even in the last two sets

 

[thadangerousmind]

Monfils gonna Monfils I guess.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Eff what he did the first 2 sets...this dude is a joke.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Unfortunate, while Fed is raising his game, Gael's really dropped. It's Fed's to lose with the insurance break.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

My girl Martina Hingis back playing doubles at the US Open?

Yes she is! Love Hingis.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

BG really needs to stop comparing Monfils' mental composure to Nadal's.

 

[thadangerousmind]

BETTERER!

 

[RustyShackleford]

Monfils gonna Monfils I guess.

You could see the choke coming from a mile away

 

[thadangerousmind]

He let Kevin Garnett down. He's been spotted in the crowd during Monfil's last 3 matches.

 

[aepps20]

Serena better be ready tomorrow because Big Mak will be a tough out.
