Tennis 2015.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feed vs Nishikori is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed saves break point with an ace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori goes long on another break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds on, leads 1-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great crosscourt passing forehand from the Old Man. Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another crosscourt forehand to get the break and leads 3-1 in the first set! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frying pan return from Fed. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another break point for Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well saved by Nishikori.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori holds, still trails 2-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Which he does so, Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Fed takes the first set 6-3. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed, Nishikori getting a bit smashed in that game.

Throwing in a double fault won't help either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing defence from Fed there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crap return, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant stretched return. Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with an ace. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

Nishikori can't stop the UE's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a double fault gives it away!

Fed to serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Old Man Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed beats Nishikori 6-3 6-2! :bow:

What a GOAT.

Also, Fed qualifies if Raonic beats Muzza or if Muzza beats Raonic in three sets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza and Raonic are on court now.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza in two :pray:.

Raonic will probably get one over him again though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks and leads 4-2 in the first set!

Raonic, just play your backhand FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza blows two set points. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He does take the first set 6-3 though.

[Master Splinter]

The Muzzatron breaks to go 2-1 up in the second set. Raonic was 40-0 up. :doh:

Federer :lol:.

[Master Splinter]

Raonic breaks straight back. The Muzzanator :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic a bit lucky to hold there but hold he does, he leads 2-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still on serve, Muzza serving to stay in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so, 5-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand pass from Muzza. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Murray.

Raonic. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abysmal at the net from Raonic. :haha:

Murray to serve for the match.

[Master Splinter]

Why don't all players just hit really slow groundstrokes to Raonic's feet on every point? It would Dids him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic is an idiot, runs around his backhand, leaves a huge space open. :lol:

Match point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

77mph serve from Muzza. :haha:

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Muzza again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray wins 6-3 7-5!

Still none of the singles matches have gone to a third set!

[Master Splinter]

Well done Muzza.

Raonic :lol:. Bye.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buckland says Fed has qualified. :unsure:

I thought this was the one result that meant he didn't qualify.

Rusedski is a berk, pressure all on Federer apparently. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

77mph serve from Muzza. :haha:



That's quick for a Murray second serve.

[Master Splinter]

Rusedski is a berk, pressure all on Federer apparently. :wacko:

:haha:

He only won his matches in straight sets in about twenty minutes. Played himself into trouble IMO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a risky tactic winning two matches in a row - playing with fire a bit hoping it pays off.

[Master Splinter]

4 sets to love is a dangerous scoreline.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic and Dimitrov to dominate the game in three years says Rusedski. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SkyPad. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Raonic is far too limited.

Dimitrov doesn't seem to have the consistency or mentality.

The guys above them had already achieved great (or even absurdly great) things by their age and are still to be overtaken in any meaningful way.

If Djokovic, Federer and Nadal retire (or suffer consistent injuries) they may nick a Slam. But otherwise, they look likely to play second and third fiddle and will then be surpassed when a genuine new generation finally, naturally emerges.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Petchey ruined what was a good segment - grilling Murray on a stat for second serve percentages he really couldn't give a shit about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych took the first set against Cilic 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych is serving for the match.

Cilic. :haha:

Will we ever get a third set in a match?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych wins 6-3 6-1. :lol:

Cilic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokivic vs Stan on soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan breaks and leads 1-0 in the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds, 0-2.

Though he did need to save a break point.

Incredible passing shots from Stan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks back to love. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks to love again. Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-3. A bit good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks again.

Insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three more break points for Nole. :haha:

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic to serve for the match and bagel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic obliterates Stan 6-3 6-0. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori beat David Ferrer in three after Raonic decided he couldn't be arsed.

Muzza has to beat Fed in straight sets, Fed up a break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-5. Muzza. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's the bagel!

What a way for Muzza to bomb out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck off Mourinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-0 3-0. :wacko:

[Syn]

Scottish cunt :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0. Jesus Christ.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza serving to avoid the double bagel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza won a game! :faint:

[Syn]

lol just lol at Murray. Going through all that effort to play and win those mickey mouse tournaments just so he could stumble through and scrape 4th to qualify for the O2 world tour. And then as soon as he faces Pep Guardiola in the last 16 he gets destroyed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-0 6-1.

Muzza took a fair old shellacking there tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All the pressure on Federer.

Rusedski. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nole shat on Berdych 6-2 6-2 and ends the year as World Number One again; well done to him.

Stan just beat Cilic 6-3 4-6 6-3.

Stan vs Fed

Djokovic vs Nishikori

The above semi-finals.

[Marc Overmars]

lol just lol at Murray. Going through all that effort to play and win those mickey mouse tournaments just so he could stumble through and scrape 4th to qualify for the O2 world tour. And then as soon as he faces Pep Guardiola in the last 16 he gets destroyed.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori is serving to level the match at 1-1!

Great set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nole won 6-1 3-6 6-0.

[Syn]

Roger fucking Federer. Exceptional mental strength, fantastic style and unrivalled talent. Greatest sportsman of all time after Wilshere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feed beat Stan 4-6 7-5 7-6 (8-6) in an incredible match.

Fed saved four match points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roger fucking Federer. Exceptional mental strength, fantastic style and unrivalled talent. Greatest sportsman of all time after Wilshere.

And after Sanogo.


Old Man Feed. :bow:

[Syn]

Old Man Feed :haha:

Pulls out due to a hip injury he got while trying to open a werther's original. Lol at the middle class fucks that paid >£100 to go today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a moran.

At least go out there and get a tonking, then rest the old limbs ahead of the Davis Cup Final.

Poor old Stan, gets his heart ripped out by his best mate and then he can't play in the final. :doh;

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Day 3 of the Davis Cup final, Switzerland lead 2-1.

Fed plays Tsonga, so if Fed wins they get the Davis Cup.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Actually it is Federer - Gasquet. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a half volley at the net.

Break point for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Incredible sliding forehand up the line from the Old Man.

He breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed from 40-0. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer goes long with the forehand, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasquet holds on, still trails 4-3 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One set point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

Three break points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks again and will serve for the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning from Federer. He takes the second set 6-2.

Switzerland one set away!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another break point for Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 3-2 in the third set. :dance:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand up the line from Gasquet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer. This could be it!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point again for Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gasquet goes wide, Fed breaks and a game away for Switzerland!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beats Gasquet 6-4 6-2 6-2!!!

Switzerland win the Davis Cup for the first time. :bow: :bow:

Fed. :bow:

Stan. :bow:

Blatter. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tsonga booed by the French crowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feed is in the final against Raonic tomorrow in Brisbane.

If he wins it will be his 1000th win. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Old Man!

In a different game. And after Fed had to save break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great smash volley from Raonic to save it, I thought he was screwed there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Winner down the line, Adv. Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again.

Great match.

I think the BBC's stats department are drunk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Feed beat Djokovic 6-3 7-5 in the Dubai final to win it for the seventh time.

84th title now. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indian Wells this week.

Djokovic - Muzza in the first semi.

Feed gave Berdych a good beating 6-4 6-0. Nadal is against Raonic currently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And match point for Nadal in fact.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic saves it, 6-6.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point Raonic.

147mph serve. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

7-7. For some reason Raonic was just intent on going to Nadal's forehand. Idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great smash from Raonic. 8-8!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Raonic again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrendous second serve return from Nadal. :haha:

10-10.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another crap second serve return. Unbelievable.

Set point Raonic.

Nadal will kick himself if he loses it now. He hit a truly amazing forehand down the line earlier in the tie-break too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic takes the second set 7-6 (12-10)!

:bow:

On to a decider. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic gives Muzza a 6-2 6-3 beating.

[adzzzbatch]

Well that was a bit pointless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic and Old Man Feed on court now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for the Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

Raonic is serving to stay in the match at 3-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer wins 7-5 6-4! :bow:

He faces Djokovic tomorrow in the final for their 38th meeting. :wacko:

Amazing shots.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds on, 5-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic serving to force a second set tie-break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time.

Think Djokovic will take it but at least it wasn't the easy win it probably should have been.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3 at the changeover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5.

Two double faults from Djokovic in this tie-breal.

The point for 5-4 was amazing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another double fault! WTF?!

Set point for the Old Man!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the second set 7-6 (7-5)!

These two's matches. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic.

[adzzzbatch]

[adzzzbatch]

hit it over the net!

[adzzzbatch]
