The Tennis Thread - Part 4

Oh, and my prediction (which is always wrong) - Djokovic and Wozniacki champions.

 

[Iceman]

What did Tomic do this week? I don't think I saw any of this games.

 

[regwec]

He effectively claimed to have thrown the game in which he was knocked out, then said that he didn't care about the criticism because he was far richer than any of his critics. Basically, he has done everything he could to join Kyrgios on the platform as tennis' foremost a-hole.

Bloody hell. That is ....a lot worse than I expected. Maybe he was jealous of the attention Kyrgios has been getting.

They're not yet. You still have a chance, at least today.

 

[Breogan]

Garbiñe fans! I know you are out there.
In a well fought match she just knocked out #1 ranked Angelique Kerber

Lots of big games coming today!

 

[Iceman]

Yes big fan. Hope she can do a lot this year.

 

[Iceman]

Nadal struggling in the first set against Muller.

 

[Iceman]

Oh damn, Nadal facing 2 set points against serve in the 2nd having lost the first.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Nadal wins sets 3 and 4!

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Nadal saves 2 match points!!

 

[Iceman]

Bloody hell this is turning out to be much closer than expected. Nadal really being tested.

 

[Iceman]

This is turning into an epic. 9-9 in the 5th!!

 

[raisethe3]

Seriously Nadal?! I thought this match should take you no more than 4 sets. Wow, epic 5th set here.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Vamoooos Rafa!

 

[Iceman]

4th match point for Muller!

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Nadal keeps fighting and saves yet another match point. Unbelievable.

 

[raisethe3]

Sigh, when will the Nadal-Muller end?

 

[Iceman]

Bloody hell. Nadal out Muller wins! Congrats to him.

 

[Breogan]

That Müller replacement robot had some ice-cold programming.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Unbelievable match.

 

[Iceman]

He was a machine.

Yes, epic match.

At least this increases Federer's chances. t:

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Bloody hell. Nadal out Muller wins! Congrats to him.

Come on, Fedex. Gimme an eighth.

 

[raisethe3]

If Muguruza takes care of her draw, she'll be holding the trophy come Saturday. She has Kunetsova who's past her prime. Then she meets Vandeweghe or Rybarikova in the semis which none of them having any deep run experience. The bottom halve opposite of her draw, there's no one physically imposing that can threaten her. At least that's how I see it.

 

[Iceman]

And glad to see her start well today. Looks like she's just about to take the first set.
