French Open 2015 (24 May - 7 June).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal, Muzza and Djokovic in the same half of the draw. :doh:

It would be a Nadal and Djokovic quarter-final. :popcorn:

Fed would have Monfils in R4 who I think would put him out.

Muzza has Arguello in the first round. Fairly sure he should playing against Southampton tomorrow.

[Master Splinter]

Federer with the walkover to the final. Corruption :bow:.

Monfils having his Cup Final night notwithstanding.


Predictions:

Djokovic. If he doesn't do it this year, he might cut himself. And Nadal.

Sharapova. Queen of Clay tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal and Sugarpova.

La Decima. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV4's programme starts now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Youzhny. :haha:

Mentalist.

Falla and Federer coming on court now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 in the first set, Falla to serve.

Halep beat Rodina 7-5 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for the Old Man!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falla had Fed out incredibly wide on the serve, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A lot of slicing from Fed, no killer shot at the end of it. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed does break and will serve for the first set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the first set 6-3. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sliding flicked lob from Fed. :lol:

Break point. Second of the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And an airshot. :haha:

Fed's fluctuating level. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point again.

Again saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fourth break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fifth. :lol:

Sort it out Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a half volley from Falla!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed flukes his way to another break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer finally breaks and leads 2-1 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falla holds on this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the second set 6-3. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insane smash from Fed. :haha:

Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer. Take him down FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed nets a fairly simple backhand. Deuce. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falla holds on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falla somehow allows a sliced Fed shot to be a winner. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still on serve in the third set, Falla serving to stay in the match though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beats Falla 6-3 6-3 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i61.tinypic.com/5ag9l4.png

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza, Nadal and Djokovic all through in straght sets.

Bouchard dumped out by Mladenovic 6-4 6-4. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed beat Granollers 6-2 7-6 (7-1) 6-3.

Also, Fed is an AC/DC fan apparently. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal and Djokovic both won in straights. Although according to the BBC site Nadal leads 6-4 6-3 6-1 5-0. :sarcy:

Muzza had a tougher time, against Sousa but won 6-2 4-6 6-4 6-1.

Djokovic beat Muller 6-1 6-4 6-4.

Muzza has Kyrgios next. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer up 6-4 6-3 against Dzumhur. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

JesusFed makes an appearance. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insane down the line forehand from Fed.

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer wins 6-4 6-3 6-2! :bow:

Monfils or Cuevas next for him.

:unsure:

[Master Splinter]

They better not schedule Muzza v Kygrios at the same time as the Cup Final. :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Think it should be ok; if it's scheduled after Nadal that is a problem though. Guaranteed 90 minutes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuevas took the first set against Monfils 6-4.

[Master Splinter]

First on Lenglen:

http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/schedule/schedule12.html

French Open organisers :bow:.

Wimbledon/US Open clowns :haha:.

Although Serena v Azarenka will clash most likely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It clashes with the all day build-up on the BBC but it'll probably be nonsense anyway.

[Master Splinter]

Probably?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils won in five.

Fed. :rose:

Kyrgios just played the worst shot of all time. Seriously impressive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios. :haha:

Awful last three points there to give up the break. Two ridiculously wild shots and two aggressive serves for the double fault. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza got broken back of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza takes the first set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kvitova beats Begu 6-3 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza won 6-4 6-2 6-3.

Aussies. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic beat Kokkinakis 6-4 6-4 6-4.

Aussies :lol:.


I think Monfils is playing too much like a clown to beat Feed at the moment. Although he is little bit a nemesis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal beats Kuznetsov 6-1 6-3 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka up a set and a break!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks back, 4-4.

Azarenka, what have you done?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka saves three set points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena takes the second set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena wins 3-6 6-4 6-2.

Fuck this shit.

[Master Splinter]

Nishikori beat Gabashvili 6-3 6-4 6-2.

Tsonga was serving for the match against Berdych but just lost the third on the tie-break. His idiocy has delayed the Main Event on a day already complicated by rain delays. 6-3 6-2 6-7 (5-7) the score currently.

You'd think Federer v Monfils would get finished today if Tsonga wins it in four and there's no more rain.

[Master Splinter]

Berdych a break up in the fourth set now.

Tsonga :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga wins 6-3 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-3! :bow:

Berdych :lol:.

Wawrinka took the first set 6-1 against Simon.


Federer v Monfils coming up. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed has an hour and a half to get it done probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Worst forehand of all time from Fed. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Old Man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb hittting from Fed, he breaks and leads 2-0 in the first set. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's terrible Petchey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

He is in no mood to hang about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a forehand from Monfils, Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils holds on, still trails 4-2 in the first set though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Fed!

Senilerer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed serving for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Federer. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils didn't bother moving for that point. :lol:

Fed takes the first set 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils breaks and leads 2-0 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Monfils mean that? :haha:

What a shot if so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils defending the net. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed electing for moonballs to get through this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils is serving for the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

JesusFed made his entrance there. He breaks back but is still serving to stay in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed cocks it up at the net. Oh dear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Monfils. Couldn't see most of that point due to the idiot director.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monfils takes the second set 6-4.

Dickhead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match suspended. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed won 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-1. :bow:

He plays Stan next. :popcorn:

Nishikori will play Tsonga.

Muzza beat Chardy 6-4 3-6 6-3 6-2.

He plays David Ferrer next. That will be very tough for Murray.

Nadal beat Sock 6-3 6-1 5-7 6-2.

Djokovic hammered Gasquet 6-1 6-2 6-3.

As expected, Djokovic vs Nadal. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safarova dumped Sugarpova out 7-6 (7-3) 6-4.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Ivanovic beat Svitolina 6-3 6-2 to reach the semi-finals.

Schweinsteiger was there cheering her on. Does N_Q know he's not too far from London?

She'll play Safarova, who beat Muguruza 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga is currently pummeling Nishikori 6-1 5-1. :blink:

Wawrinka 4-2 up against Federer. Stan is absolutely walloping it.

Neither match going to plan.

[Master Splinter]

Stan takes the first set 6-4! :bow:

A giant piece of metal has fallen off and injured a man on Chatrier. :haha:

Tsonga was about to serve for a two set lead.

[Master Splinter]

Play still suspended on Chatrier.

Roland Garros :lol:. What a shit, derelict venue.

[Master Splinter]

Wawrinka breaks to go 4-3 up in the second set! Come on Fat Stan!


Nishikori gets a break back following the resumption of play.

French Open pubbery harming their own players.

[Master Splinter]

Stan breaks again and takes the second set 6-3!

He is ripping the shit out of the ball.

Maccy literally on the verge of e-tears.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga takes the second set 6-4 against JSAO's son.

[Master Splinter]

Federer serving to stay in the tournament 5-4 in the third set.

[Master Splinter]

Federer holds.

6-6.

Third set tie-break. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Wawrinka blows Federer away 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7-4)!!! :bow: :bow:

Sensational from Stan. Amazing hitting from all angles.

Federer :haha:.

Mirka :haha:.

That's the first time Federer has failed to break an opponents's serve in a Grand Slam match since the US Open in 2002. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Nishikori takes the third set 6-4 against Tsonga!

[Master Splinter]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/83379000/jpg/_83379885_federerslips_epa.jpg

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man. :rose:

Still at least he gained some ranking points, about all he can expect on clay these days.

And Arsenal won the FA Cup so it's not all bad.

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga eventually overcame Nishikori's fightback to win 6-1 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Serena takes the first set 6-1 against Errani. Djokovic v Nadal should be on in ten minutes.

Bacsinszky 5-3 up against Van Uytvanck in the other quarter final.

[Master Splinter]

Serena wins 6-1 6-3.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal's birthday :bow:.

Djokovic v Nadal just starting. :scarf:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic with the early break!

2-0.

[Master Splinter]

Bacsinszky into the semi-finals to face Serena with a 6-4 7-5 win!

Restoring Swiss pride after Federer and Blatter brought shame upon the nation :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic secures the double break after a :wacko: point.

4-0.

Bagel coming up?

[Master Splinter]

Nadal gets a break back!

4-1.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic misses a sitter and Nadal breaks back again to level!

4-3.

The tennis, as expected, is spectacular already.

[Master Splinter]

Murray v Ferrer has just started.

And Muzza with the instant break.

1-0.

[Master Splinter]

Ferrer breaks straight back. :haha:

Murray at his best.

1-1.

[Master Splinter]

Murray breaks again. :lol:

WTA Tour :bow:.

2-1.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic takes the first set 7-5!

That was stunning tennis.

[Master Splinter]

Murray broken to love as he served for the first set. :doh:

5-5.

[Master Splinter]

First set tie-break between Murray and Ferrer.

[Master Splinter]

Murray takes the first set 7-6 (7-3).

[fakeyank]

Nadal is done :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic breaks and will serve for the second set at 5-3!

[fakeyank]

Nadal should just pack his bags tbh

[Master Splinter]

Incredible half-volley from Djokovic to set up a set point and he takes the second set 6-3!

Nadal :rose:.

[fakeyank]

Wonder if Nadal is going to ever come back from this slump. I just dont think he has the game to extend his career. :(

[Master Splinter]

Nadal with a pub-team volley to hand Djokovic an instant break in the third set.

Nadal :wave:.

[Master Splinter]

Wonder if Nadal is going to ever come back from this slump. I just dont think he has the game to extend his career. :(

He's playing Djokovic tbf. Djokovic is on an incredible run of form. The guy is just a ruthless machine at the moment.

[Master Splinter]

Murray a break up in set two.

3-1.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic with the double break!

3-0.

Nadal literally eating dust instead of cake on his birthday.

[Master Splinter]

Murray takes the second set 6-2.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic beats Nadal 7-5 6-3 6-1.

Nadal summed up his gradual decline by ending it all with a double fault.

A right good kicking after the brilliant first set.

Djokovic :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Murray well on his way to a comprehensive beating from Djokovic as he breaks to go 2-0 up in the third.

[Master Splinter]

Murray cruising along to a straight sets victory.

But now Ferrer is serving for the third set at 6-5.

Muzza is such an idiot.

[Master Splinter]

Ferrer takes the third set 7-5.

Muzza :doh:.

Djokovic will absolutely blitzkrieg him and his stupid concentration lapses.

[Master Splinter]

Murray 3-0 up in the fourth set.

[Master Splinter]

Murray beats Ferrer 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 5-7 6-1.

Djokovic next for him. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal. :rose:

Djokovic to get his hopes dashed by Stan?

[Master Splinter]

Safarova beat Ivanovic 7-5 7-5 yesterday.

Serena beat Bacsinszky 4-6 6-3 6-0, despite apparently being on the verge of collapsing throughout.

Safarova to save Tennis little bit?

[Master Splinter]

Tsonga and Wawrinka just underway.

Djokovic v Murray coming up after. :popcorn:

I'm going with Stan in five sets and Djokovic in straight sets, although the first two will be close.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'd love them to mic up Murray, get a real sense of the vitriolic abuse he gives himself and or his Training Box

How many times does he call himself a Cunt?...a fair few

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Play suspended at 3-3 in the fourth, won't be seeing anymore Tennis tonight

Both players as mentally fragile as Nadal is physically fragile....Djokovic I think is the greatest returner the game has ever seen but just crumbles at times, should have beaten Nadal at Roland Garros two years ago.

Murray should have made more of a fist of the AO this year but mentally evaporated in the third set

I think both of these guys are doomed to underachieve compared to their potential

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan beat Tsonga 6-3 6-7 (1-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-1.

He is going to ruin it all for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic and Muzza will be on court soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two love service games to make it 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another love service, Muzza serving to stay in the match!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Finally a point against serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds though, 5-5!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most of that rally was just bludgeoning the ball back and forth. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Muzza!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nole saves the first one with a safe overhead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

But not the second, Muzza breaks and will serve for the fourth set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous return and winner from Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic seems to be going for full ballbashing on his backhand.

Two set points for Muzza!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic goes long on his backhand again!

Muzza takes the fourth set 7-5! :faint:

On to a fifth it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds on the opening game but it is a struggle for him. Threw in a double fault there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic.

Oh dear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks on the second of them and leads 2-0 in the fifth.

Muzza. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning hitting.

Djokovic breaks again and will serve for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-3 6-3 5-7 5-7 6-1 and plays Stan in the final!

[Kano]

As fantastic a player Murray is, he just can't compete regularly at that even higher level Djok and co have created over the past decade. At any other time he'd be dominating the sport. Too many slow starts and missed opportunities at key moments means he blows big chances. Fantastic play from him to pull it back against Djok who is monster mode again but hopefully he'll nick at least one more Grand before the next batch start to take over.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

What next batch?

Nick Krygios looks to me the only viable youngster coming through at the moment

Whatever we say about Murray and what he should be achieving, the likelihood is that after tomorrow we will have seen three players still in the game who have completed a career grand slam. For me I always thought that level of competition would see Murray falling short of winning a major full stop.
Clay court is not a good service for Murray it's taken him years to perfect his movement on it, Djokovic and Federer before him were gifted Clay Court players who would have both dominated the French Open if not for Nadal.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Djokovic hadn't dropped a set or even been taken as far as a tie breaker before playing Murray.

Murray couldn't even engineer an opening until the third set and he took it and gave the Serb a bloody nose.

Of course for a player of his quality it's always disappointing not to win, but I think he deserves credit for making him sweat when the best clay court player of all time (albeit out of form) could not.

That said I think Wawrinka will be a big test for Nole tomorrow, such a big hitter....the kind of player Djokovics return game struggles against.

[Kano]

What next batch?

Of players? I don't think Muzza will be top five material in four years time. We're not going to see another batch of players like this, but there will be those who will be competing regularly for the slams. I'm not sure I've suggested Murray should be achieving anything, merely that he's a great player but just not in the same bracket of the other three most of the time. No shame in that, as most players in the history in the game haven't and won't be either. This set of players are unique to game, we'll be unlikely to see another group like it for at least a couple of decades.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena took the first set 6-3. Safarova has just broken back to level at 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safarova. :doh:

How has she hit the net there? Relatively simple one down the line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She nailed that one though. :lol:

Serena is serving for the Championship, 30-30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus wept, what a shot down the line.

Tie-break time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four set points for Safarova!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safarova takes the second set 7-6 (7-2)! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safarova breaks and leads 1-0 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Safarova double faults to give the break back.

2-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena breaks again. Tennis. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three Championship points. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena wins 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-2 and with it her 20th Slam.

I agree but there is no talent waiting in the wings either, all the current second tier players like Berdych, Wawrinka, Cillic, Nishikori, Del Potro, Tsonga etc are all in and around the same age.
The supposedly new generation like Janowicz, Dimitrov and Raonic are not even consistently making it to the second week of Grand Slam Tournaments.
For that reason I still say Murray has plenty of time on his side.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic and Stan are coming out on court now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm saying Stan in four.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wawrinka belting down the winners early on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good god, what a rally!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan hammers the forehand down the line. Stan holds!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big backhand hitting manages to save it. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds on, Djokovic trails 2-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Stan gives it up with a double fault. Djokovic leads 4-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan gets a correct call overturned in to an incorrect one.

Umpire. :doh:

What a shot up the line to save the first set point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And what a backhand straight at Djokovic to save the second! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-4.

Stan can feel a bit hard done by there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan took the second set 6-4. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan raining down the winners. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It gets even better!

What a backhand up the line on the run!

Three break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic in desperation mode with that dropshots

Stan breaks and leads 4-2 in the third set! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds on, Djokovic serving to stay in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

Insane backhand round the net post from Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wawrinka takes the third set 6-3!

:bow:

2-1 he leads. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic does break and leads 2-0 in the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a point. Stan breaks back!

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Incredible forehands from Stan.

Two break points!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic saves them both!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds on and leads 4-3 in the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All three are saved! :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a hold from Stan, 4-4 it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a crosscourt backhand, break point for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with serve and volley. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The backhand gets Nole again, Adv. Wawrinka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Incredibe backhand up the line!

Stanislas Wawrinka will serve for the Championship!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-30. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-30!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point!!! :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Second serve. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic saves it. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Incredible from Djokovic, break point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HE'S DONE IT!!!!!

Stan Wawrinka beats Djokovic 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 to win Roland Garros!!!!

His second Slam!!! :bow:

19th for Switzerland. :ninja:

Also, Djokovic. :rose:

RIP.

[GP]

Stan :bow:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'm saying Stan in four.

Good prediction

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Djokovic played it too safe and conservative at times today, but i think Wawrinka won it rather than Djokovic losing it, the unforced error rate was pretty level....but from what i see the amount of winners Wawrinka got from angled positions was almost Nadal esque.

Djokovic i fear has fluffed his best chance of winning a career grand slam, unless Nadal is on the decline (which people think every year he is and he comes back), i think this is going to haunt the Serb for the rest of his career.

But congratulations Stan Wawrinka, totally deserved....so strange for someone to come good like he has quite late on in his career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuerten. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nice that they play the national anthem for the person that won it.

They'd probably just play God Save the Queen at Wimbledon no matter who wins it.
