[Drew.]

Eastbourne then Wimbledon, what a great couple of weeks

[Novo]

" you will win here in the future "

Lol

[Marc]

So...

[Black Dagger]

Right, time for Li to flop at US Open and retire and leave me depressed and on the search for a new WTA fave.

[Marc]

Canadian tennis seems up and coming.

Raonic will be #6 in the world now
Bouchard will be #7 in the world now

[Drew.]

In before Lucas slates them both

[Novo]

Lol at Genie choosing to play in Hong Kong over her place of birth Quebec Strange decision bit then again money talks

[Jords]

http://i.imgur.com/ZFrFnom.png

Well done Drew (assuming!) on the Fantasy Wimbledon btw

I was close :fist:

Aga as my Wildcard was not wise.

[Drew.]

Completely forgot about that, I think all that hard work deserves an award.

[MTVN]

Look at that mug Putin in last place by a mile

[Black Dagger]

In before Lucas slates them both

you don't know me at all.

[Novo]

The Romanians coming out in full force

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsWZlgiIYAAJO8b.png:large

[MTVN]

Watching that atm, this must be Halep's tournament

[Marc]

Yeah

[MTVN]

Not playing this set very well at all mind :think:

[Novo]

Petko makes the final of WTA Jobberfest

[Novo]

My Petko won Jobberfest, she's on a roll

[Jords]

Simona :lovedup:

She's quite attractive isn't she

[Drew.]

Bellick

[Marc]

[MTVN]

Definitely has something about her

[Brother Leon]

One for Locke and Drew.

[Locke.]

Get that prick away from her

[Drew.]

That is that useless flop doing up there with my Poldi

Bit of a lull this week in tennis, some ****ty asian tournament and some other random ones. Just hoping Fognini doesn't win Umag('od we're back agaainnn)

2IAR

[Marc]

Peng wins. What a surprise. She was probably like 100seeds higher than the rest of the field

[Jamie585]

Sabine Lisicki just broke a world record for the fastest serve at 131mph against Ivanovic tonight!!!

[Marc]

Ana :love:

Sabine smashing the world record serving speed though :worship:

[Marc]

QyxyrPk8IKs

[Marc]

Dp4S5vObWkU

Dat tennis tho

[Marc]

Lol Domi

[Jamie585]

Radwanska is having an awful year!! Another first round defeat :bored:

[Marc]

Terrible. Ursula will be higher ranked than her soon

[Jamie585]

Terrible. Ursula will be higher ranked than her soon

She has dropped to No.6 below Maria now! Couldn't get much worse!!

[Novo]

Vika v Venus tomorrow, a Stanford classic in the making

[Marc]

Venus winning just solidifies the fact that Vika is not ready.

[Marc]

Don't even know how Ana will fare against Serena..

[Novo]

Venus played amazing, best I've seen her play in a while

[Marc]

Aww :(

[Marc]

Ana back into the world top 10 :flutter:

[Marc]

Kuzzy edging out Nara.. aw but she hasn't won a title in ageesss

[Marc]

Hewitt losing 2 and 1 in the first round :( signs for retirement?

[Marc]

Genie destroyed. Vika taking down Cornet.

What is happening.

[Jamie585]

Watched Genie's game.. She played dire! It was a miracle she even got a set!!

[MTVN]

Looking forward to Watson handing Vika a thrashing in the next round

[Jamie585]

Radwanska vs Lisicki should be a great match tomorrow!

[Novo]

Vika is slowly getting there again, she needed to win even more then usual because she needs as much match time as she can get at the minute

[Marc]

I reckon she'll win Andy, Heather loses it at big moments.

Ana being a silly little **** against some player with a ridiculous name; Canada is the worst place tbh

[Novo]

If Vika and Sabine both win tonight they face each other next, luckily Aga will sort out Sabine before it comes to that

[Jamie585]

Watson hasn't got a great record against Vika.. I think She'll win in straight sets! The most exciting game I think will be Sabine Vs Aga.. Cannot predict that one!

[Novo]

Aga would usually be a strong favourite because Sabine can't play on hard court but on recent form god knows

[Novo]

Routine win for Vika in the end, Aga v Sabine now

[Novo]

Vika v Aga

Don't know what to expect after The Aussie Open match earlier on in the year, 3 tight sets maybe

[Marc]

Good chance for Vika, Aga has been **** recently

[Marc]

Good win for Venus, one win away from playing Serena

[Marc]

Tennis' new besties playing each other.

I would love if Caro won

[Jamie585]

This tournament has been great! Looking forward to Caro Vs Serena and mostly Aga Vs Vika.. I think Vika is back on form so am expecting her to win

[Novo]

Venus is nearly back inside the top 20

[Marc]

What ranking is she up to now

[Jamie585]

Aga destroyed Vika! Didn't expect that one but can't say im not happy :D

[Marc]

Oh dear

[Novo]

How can you go from dominating Aga for years to losing twice to her in 8 months

[Marc]

Venussssss

[Jamie585]

So happy Venus beat Serena! Just need Aga to take her revenge on Makarova now!

[Jamie585]

Aga Radwanska through to the final after a titanic battle between her and Makarova! Was an amazing match with Aga winning in straight sets, both tiebreakers!!

[Marc]

Venus in three sets

[Jords]

I only properly follow the GSs but come on Aga!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamie585]

Yes Aga!!!! First title of the year, really glad she won it!!

[Marc]

Aga :clap1:

[Jamie585]

Let's hope she keeps up this form for the US open!!

[MTVN]

The start of the much better WTA tournament in Cincy tomorrow

[Marc]

Ana drops out of top 10.

Venus into top 20.

Halep no.2 now.

[Marc]

Ana back into the top 10!!

This is news that we can all enjoy

[Jamie585]

What is going on with the rankings? Vika and Caro have just dropped to 5/6 places to 15th and 16th even though Caro won yesterday and is having a good season? Confused.com!!

[Marc]

Caro will be 14th
Vika has dropped to 17th :umm2:
Ana is 9th and if she gets further than Jelena she'll be 8th

[MTVN]

Halep-Sharapova on now

G'wan Halep you beauty!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Vika with final points to defend in the US Open, she will probably start the year outside the top 20 next year

[MTVN]

Maria having an absolute shocker on serve

[MTVN]

**** off Maria

[Marc]

Ana :love:

[Legend killer]

I see 33 year old Roger steamrolling * Murray and sending him back to Scotland got no mention.

GOLDEN GENERATION they said

MICHAELJORDANLAUGHING.GIF

[Marc]

Ana got to another final -proud-

[Marc]

She was never gonna win but it's a shame she let a break advantage slip.

Decent year for her so far, she's overdue a good slam result though

[Marc]

Can't believe the US Open is starting Monday

[Marc]

Serena could lose her No.1 ranking during US Open if she falls before the QF and either Simona or Petra win it

[Marc]

One for the wank bank for Drew

[Novo]

Heather Watson jobbing out to Cirstea

[Marc]

:facepalm:

[Jamie585]

Thought I'd make one as one hasn't been made yet :)

[Jamie585]

Cibulkova out!!

[Novo]

Vika through after a great match with Doi, Domi knocked out by a 15 year old ranked 1,200 in the world

[Novo]

http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Agnieszka+Radwanska+Taste+Tennis+Week+Party+99vdNn hpwnnx.jpg

Laura and Genie at war and Aga and Vika have made up, what a lovely turn of events

[Black Dagger]

Doi didn't do too badly tbh, looks like I have a new Asian to support when Na has enough

[Novo]

Who are you supporting this tournament Lucas? all your faves are dead

[Black Dagger]

Nishi but then I never expect anything of him lmao and Murray I guess but I can't see him doing anything either, I'm seeing how far Nara can get, she had a good R1 and tbh I actually hope Rena wins a slam this year so won't be offended if she does.

[MTVN]

My Radwanska first seed out prediction looking good :pipe2:

[Novo]

No chance, Aga has peng in her pocket

[MTVN]

A well timed post there

[Novo]

This is the point where Aga comes back

[Novo]

Just as i presumed Aga must be injured

[Jamie585]

wtf Aga :bored: 2014 has been a awful year for her

[Novo]

Great win for Vika after being 0-3 0-40 down in the first set

[Marc]

:facepalm:

[MTVN]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

[Novo]

Poor Ana

We are edging closer to the first Vika v Petra match in years

[Marc]

I'm heartbroken

[Novo]

Ill be following you soon enough

[Marc]

I have a brokenheart's club

[Marc]

Lucas has been in here for a while

[Black Dagger]

I've been here since the end of January, all went downhill after Li won Aus.

[Marc]

Aw... the Aus... that' where Vika does well.. Li does well... Ana's best GS run this year...

Those were good times....

[Marc]

KQMTBDiH8Y4

[MTVN]

Halep has well and truly bottled that first set

[MTVN]

****s sake Simona

[Marc]

Uh oh

[Novo]

i am starting to dream

[Jamie585]

Wow did not expect Halep to go out so soon :o

[Novo]

Sharapova v Lisicki tonight

[Novo]

Vika is going to rip Genie a new one when she gets past this qualifer jobber, the genie army might as well head back to Canada now

[Marc]

Stop making threats you.

[Novo]

Do her Caro!!!!!!

[Marc]

This has been really frustrating

[Mystic Mock]

Sharapova and Woziniaki with her yellow panties are making it very hard for me to watch as I don't know which one to look at lol.

[Marc]

Oh I stopped watching because Maria looked likely to win. :worry: I best not jinx it

[Novo]

Caro!!!!!!!! This tournament has been great so far, Vika is all of a sudden the 3rd fave to win, no doubt Serena will take her out in the Semis though

[Marc]

:clap1:

[Mystic Mock]

Oh I stopped watching because Maria looked likely to win. :worry: I best not jinx it

She looked more professional if you get what I mean.

Woziniaki turned me on more though lol.

[Novo]

Mock this is a respectable thread, calm yourself.

[Mystic Mock]

Mock this is a respectable thread, calm yourself.

I'll try my best lol.

[Jamie585]

Wow great win for Caroline!

[MTVN]

This US Open is a load of bloody wank

[Marc]

Don't say wank when Mock is around. He's had enough by the sounds of it

[Mystic Mock]

Don't say wank when Mock is around. He's had enough by the sounds of it

Lol.

[Marc]

What a mind **** last night was!

Lucie, Richard, Jelena... This US Open is random

[Novo]

Belinda having her breakout tournament, wouldn't count her out making the final now

[Marc]

Martina is a witch

[Marc]

Thiem is having a brilliant show as well

[Novo]

Kanepi to knock Serena out? Hard hitter and in great form, won't be a stroll in the park

[Marc]

In any other year I'd think you were being silly but Serena is a wreck atm, it could well happen!

[Novo]

Who do you think is winning it now Marc?

[Marc]

I hope Wozniacki does tbh with you. I just hope she doesn't run out of steam

[Novo]

Serena v Woz final probably, wish Serena was on the other side :idc:

[Marc]

Wow just read that Bencic is the younger grand slam QF since Hingis!

[IheartBB]

Sharapova was younger when she won Wimbledon. Vaidisova was also younger when she reached Roland Garros semis. Those are just two from the top of my head.

Speaking of Vaidisova, she's making a comeback. Got a wild card into an ITF event next in a few weeks.

[IheartBB]

Oh youngest US Open quarter finalist? That's probably right. Can't think of anyone apart from Oudin, who was almost 18.

[Marc]

Oh I just read ever. But maybe I read wrong it was early :laugh:

Good to hear about Vaidisova, didn't she just start hating tennis? her QF at Wimbledon with Ana was a particular highlight in my Ivanovic-career :laugh:

[Marc]

Toughed it out, solid win for Andy

Still don't feel confident backing him though :laugh:

[Novo]

Genie is out then, it gets better

Penggggg mate

[Marc]

Caro stomping out the competition!

[Novo]

Praying Serena's injury she got in doubles yesterday will hinder her against Penetta

[Marc]

Pennetta / Wozniacki final pls

[Novo]

Don't be so silly

[Marc]

I'm sorry but no I'm not sorry.

[Marc]

a-4jYVPSRk0

I have no idea how Gael managed to close out the second set after this breakdown :laugh:

[MTVN]

He is a bit of a tit really

[Marc]

Hopefully he'll crumble against Rog

[MTVN]

Silly Vika

[Novo]

I'm not having this

[MTVN]

Must be the worst women's slam in years lol

Bollocks to all this "such an open tournament" rubbish, no fun having all the big guns knocked out

[Black Dagger]

Peng somehow making the semi finals of a tournament >>>>

Happy Fed won, him and Novak were amazing at Wimbledon, give me that over Novak just destroying Cilic or Monfils in the final.

[Marc]

Penggggg

[Marc]

Oops she broke back :laugh:

[Marc]

Crikey that was a horrible ending

[MTVN]

Wahey jog on Peng!!!!

[Black Dagger]

**** off you horrible bastard

[Marc]

Matt I can't believe how racist you are

[Marc]

Hingis ftw pls :fc:

[Black Dagger]

This is overwhelming <|3

[Marc]

Kei what are you doing you little munchkin

[Black Dagger]

Crying at tennis again ffs, haven't done that since January

[Marc]

[Legend killer]

Golden generation they said

Michaeljordanlaughing.gif

The bores being sent packing one by one ****ing love it

[Marc]

And now Roger. No one is safe.

[Shaun]

what even

[Black Dagger]

What a bloody day, so needed for the men's tour!

[MTVN]

Worst slam ever confirmed

[Drew.]

Nishikori & Caro would be perfect

[Black Dagger]

Nishi is mine :idc:

[King Gizzard]

since I became a Nishikori fan look at his progression

[Black Dagger]

I love how earlier in the thread Andy asked me who I was supporting because my favourites were dead and I said I still have Nishi but don't expect him too do much and here he is in the final, I should have less faith in my faves more often.

Del Po is going to be wank when he gets back from injury!!

[Drew.]

Nathan is the only true Nishi fan around these parts

[Drew.]

Congrats on your favourite making the final Nath

[MTVN]

Fair play Nathan, the only member with a favourite still standing on the mens draw

[Black Dagger]

Am I really hearing this from Drew "jump on the bandwagon of anybody doing rather well" nah mates

[Drew.]

None of my favourites have won any GS's you deluded tool

[King Gizzard]

tbh i've never even seen him play

[King Gizzard]

just has a cool name

[Black Dagger]

None of my favourites have won any GS's you deluded tool

Don't get pissy with young man... Never said they had!

[Drew.]

My GS drought ends tomorrow

[King Gizzard]

caro is a mess isn't she

Rory must be glad he got rid

[Drew.]

Shes a bit wild, He was punching above his weight though.

[Black Dagger]

Quite like Caro now she was lovely to my Peng yesterday, still hope Serena destroys her.

[Novo]

Ive always been a bit of a Cilic fan because of Mario back in the day + I tipped him to win Wimbledon, get taking those drugs and bring home the title big man

[Marc]

Wow.

[Marc]

Williams and Nishikori winners.

[arista]

Come on Wozniacki

[MTVN]

She will not win
