This starts today. :popcorn:
Not that I will get to see a huge amount of it this year.
On to the important stuff: Nadal would meet David Ferrer in the QF, Muzza would have Stan, Federer would have Berdych and Djokovic would have Raonic.
I'm going for Djokovic and Li Na tbf.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 09:56 AM
Radwanska took the first set against Zhang 6-3.
Old Man Feed on against Lacko after that.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:34 AM
Radwanska won 6-3 6-0.
Fed on court now.
Inverdale is embarrassing. Doesn't ask Santoro about Fed's forehand about being one of the best shots but instead asks about his backhand, then he asks Santoro what's his favourite song at the moment.
How hard is it to employ somebody that knows something about the subject they are supposed to be presenting?
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:51 AM
Break point for the Old Man. :bow:
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:52 AM
And Fed breaks to lead 3-2 in the first set. :scarf:
Fed should hopefully get this done before the Monaco GP starts.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:56 AM
Awful smash from Fed, straight out of the Djokovic playbook there.
I think Federer and Muzza are never going to meet on clay. :lol:
Highly unlikely they'll meet in the final.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:56 AM
What a dropshot. :haha:
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:58 AM
Two more break points. :bow:
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 10:59 AM
Fed does get the double break and will serve for the first set.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 11:02 AM
Federer easily takes the first set 6-2.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 11:12 AM
Fed breaks and leads 2-1 in the second set. Lacko trying for all out power and sending it miles long.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 11:32 AM
Fed. :haha:
Woeful. Somehow hits the net on set point with the court gaping.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 11:37 AM
Fed takes the second set 6-4. Bagel in the third please Old Man.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 11:53 AM
Close enough, up a double break at 4-1 in the third set.
McNamara That Ghost...
25-05-2014, 12:02 PM
Federer wins 6-2 6-4 6-2. Little bit easy, yes.
Just in time for the F1 too. :bow:
McNamara That Ghost...
26-05-2014, 11:48 AM

McNamara That Ghost...

Robredo beat Ward 4-6 6-4 6-2 6-4.

McNamara That Ghost...
27-05-2014, 02:23 PM
Mladenovic beat Li Na 7-5 3-6 6-1.
Me. :haha:
Muzza took the first set against Golubev 6-1.
McNamara That Ghost...
27-05-2014, 09:09 PM
Muzza won 6-1 6-4 3-6 6-3.
David Ferrer beat Sijsling 6-4 6-3 6-1.
Karlovic dumped out Dimitrov 6-4 7-5 7-6 (7-4). :blink:
Ivanovic gave Garcia a good hiding 6-1 6-3.
Errani beat Keys 7-5 3-6 6-1. Not sure how those two ended up facing each other this early on.
Shaqiri Is Boss
28-05-2014, 12:31 PM

Djokovic beat Cilic 6-3 6-2 6-7 (2-7) 6-4. Tsonga next for him. :popcorn:

Monfils and Fognini later. Circus tennis. :bow:
Kvitova flaking it up again, Kvitova took the first set against Kuznetsova 7-6 (7-3), promptly loses the second 1-6. :doh:
Muzza against Kohlschreiber later today which should be a really tough one.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 12:03 PM
Kvitova flukes saving a match point; awful volley really with an open court.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 12:03 PM
Another match point saved but no fluke, great shot down the line.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 12:04 PM

Nadal on next to give Leo Mayer a good tonking.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 04:58 PM
Kohlschreiber takes the first set against Muzza 6-3. :lol:
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 05:09 PM
Superb shot from Muzza, well and truly fucked it up.
And then the second double fault in the game gives Kohli the break in the second set back. :lol:
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 06:44 PM
Murray took the second and third sets 6-3 6-3 respectively. :bow:

Pathetic.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 06:59 PM
Petchey, FFS this is Murray on clay, stop acting like it's an improbable scenario for him to lose on it.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 07:02 PM
Dreadful at the net from Muzza, two break points for Kohlschreiber.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 07:02 PM
And he takes it with a forehand down the line!
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 07:06 PM
Muzza breaks back, 3-3.
McNamara That Ghost...
31-05-2014, 07:31 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
01-06-2014, 10:56 AM
Berdych is up 6-4 6-4 and a break on Isner so it shouldn't be long before Muzza resumes his match.
McNamara That Ghost...
01-06-2014, 11:05 AM
Verdasco boots out Gasquet 6-3 6-2 6-4, amazing point to end it with.
Gulbis - Old Man Feed on Chatrier next. :popcorn:
McNamara That Ghost...
01-06-2014, 11:10 AM

Djokovic vs Gulbis and Nadal vs Muzza today.
Not that he could or would have beaten Nadal anyway, but you get the impression that Murray didn't even try was passive in exchanges and Nadal just went in for the kill.
To be fair, I don't blame him...he's never going to win the French Open, even if he'd beaten Nadal by some miracle he'd have been beaten by Nole...who for me has the same advantage over Murray on Clay that Murray has over him on Grass.
Can't stand Nadal, his constant trick of pretending to be injured in matches which are tight to psych out his oponent just irritates me....want Djokovic to beat him on Sunday.
McNamara That Ghost...
06-06-2014, 07:33 PM
Agreed, Nole needs to save tennis. Plus really want him to get the career slam. To see three players get it in roughly the same era would be great.
Good showing from Gulbis in a big tournament, finally.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-06-2014, 12:02 AM
Sugarpova beat Halep 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 to win her fifth Slam and second at the French Open so well done to her.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-06-2014, 09:29 AM
Djokovic in five today I think. Depends on how his backhand plays for the length of the match; if it's on it all match Nadal won't have much chance.

What a rally. Djokovic's backhand taking on Nadal's forehand well so far.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-06-2014, 01:29 PM
Djokovic blows the chance of a break point with a poor backhand in to the net.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-06-2014, 01:31 PM
What a dropshot from Nole. :lol:
