[Marc]

She retires just before her home city tournament </3

[Marc]

Ana retires in Wuhan </3 too tired being a beast in Tokyo

[Marc]

But she's getting some stick for retiring one game away from losing on Pav's serve. She should have just stood there and let Pav serve it out :laugh:

[Marc]

What is happening in Wuhan :worry:

[1] Williams
[2] Halep
[3] Kvitova
[4] Sharapova
[5] Radwanska
[6] Bouchard
[7] Kerber - through to R3
[8] Wozniacki - through to R3

[Jamie585]

Wuhan has been so weird! Lots of retiring and unexpected victories!!

[Jamie585]

Whats happened to the rest of TiBB's tennis fans

Soz Marc! Back at school :sad:

However, I have taken my love of tennis to a new level.. I've started playing! Been playing for a month now and have improved a lot :hehe: (I was awful for the first 2 weeks) it's honestly my favourite thing in the world :laugh:

[Marc]

It's fun isn't it? Especially with somebody at the same level as you :)

[Novo]

/p/tHPhRPDLbl/

[Drew.]

GENIE!!!

[Drew.]

Caro is such a flop it's ridiculous, Genie destroyed her.

[Marc]

Kvitova qualifies.

I'm hoping Ana really pulls out all the stops in China :fc: :worry:

[Marc]

http://i62.tinypic.com/2cfdt77.jpg

Eugenie and Aga a few games away from qualifying.

Push for it Ana.

[Jamie585]

http://i62.tinypic.com/2cfdt77.jpg

Eugenie and Aga a few games away from qualifying.

Push for it Ana.

How many players can qualify Marc?

[Jamie585]

There are two great potential matches in Beijing! All in the same quarter tho -.-

Kvitova Vs V.Williams
&
Radwanska Vs Makarova

[Marc]

8 qualify Jamie. I think Genie Aga Caro and Ana will qualify, there seems to be a big enough gap between Ana and Angie :worry:

[Marc]

15 months without a title for Andy. Crikey

[Jamie585]

Aga has had yet another early exit this year! She has had an appalling year! Surely she'll be outside the top 10 soon?

[Marc]

http://i58.tinypic.com/w8umva.jpg

[Marc]

End of Tour Finals lineup confirmed!

Serena, Maria, Simona, Petra, Genine, Aga, Caro and Ana :worship:

[Marc]

TiBB's interest in tennis since Wimbledon is shocking

[Novo]

The rankings are to depressing to care about it at the minute

[Black Dagger]

Li Na was still about at Wimbledon (not for very long mind you) :sad:

[Novo]

p/twD1zUMTKE

Serena sticking around during the rise and fall of Vika

[Marc]

I blame this guy for distracting her

http://i58.tinypic.com/351j1qa.jpg

[Jamie585]

Good line up for Singapore!' Anyone know when if starts?

[Jamie585]

Also, genie and Ana both retire at Linz, so Many top players retiring at the moment!

[Marc]

So many retirees

[Legend killer]

GOLDEN GENERATION THEY SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/roger-federer-celebrates-twins.gif

[Legend killer]

Djoko should follow Andy's and Rafa's lead and slip slowly into the background getting whopped by a 33 year old fed is not a good look for your * legacy

[Marc]

I wanna see Roger No.1 again. He's only 990 points behind Novak now!

Serena has surpassed Hingis in weeks at number one; fourth overall now

[Legend killer]

I wanna see Roger No.1 again. He's only 990 points behind Novak now!

Serena has surpassed Hingis in weeks at number one; fourth overall now

Roger messed up not winning at the USO draw will NEVER GET BETTER for him will go down with his loss vs The Caveman as the biggest facepalm moments of his life

[Marc]

Retiring at No.1 would be peRFect

[Black Dagger]

i see what you did there.

[Marc]

:smug:

[Novo]

I want the groups to be something like

Serena
Halep
Petra
Ana

Sharapova
Aga
Genie
Caro

Basically all the players who will give Serena good matches in one and the rest in the other

Brilliant

[Marc]

Have you seen the full photo of that? :laugh: they're all literally on their mobile phones and only Kvitova and Simona are chatting

[Black Dagger]

I miss Li.

[Marc]

Who?

[Black Dagger]

SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN -sobs-

I literally haven't found a new girl to stan for yet and it's been a month now.

SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN -sobs-

I literally haven't found a new girl to stan for yet and it's been a month now.

I don't wish to sway you but Ana is pretty great. And Halep

[Novo]

Love how when they were all getting interviews Serena seemed to be the only one who could be bothered, Maria sounds bored all the time though I suppose and Ana I don't even think she knows what Country she is in right now

[Novo]

And they need to stop asking Aga about bloody Cheesecake all the time

[Black Dagger]

I cheer for Ana anyway :laugh: she's just never been my GIRL!

Halep would bring me success and little stress I guess, but I sort of liked Li being a headcase for that

[Drew.]

Marias only there for the paps

[Marc]

Stacey Allaster, the CEO of the WTA Tour, brought her hammer down on Shamil Tarpischev, the head of the Russian Tennis Federation, on Friday after his comments on late-night TV talk show Evening Urgant. She leveled a $25,000 fine and a one-year ban from WTA goings-on again him, also saying that the WTA intends to see him removed as chairman of the Kremlin Cup event in Moscow, which is presently underway. What's more, she called on him to formally apologize to Venus and Serena Williams, who he termed "brothers" on the TV program.

Oops

[MTVN]

Looking forward to Simona giving Genie a thrashing

[MTVN]

That beast Radwanska ruining a great pic

[Novo]

Aga doesn't know how to dress properly, she needs to take advice from Ula

[Marc]

Novo stop giving fashion advice

They don't wear any

Red Group -

Genie really is a miserable cow

[MTVN]

Simona destroying Genie

[MTVN]

Halep!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Simona and Serena will be good, hopefully she gets through and faces Maria and amends for this 0-3 record against her this year

[Marc]

I think I was too optimistic to think Ana would at least get a set </3

[Jamie585]

I cannot be the only one watching this battle between Caroline and Maria!

One of the best first sets I've ever seen

[Jamie585]

The Wizard of Woz strikes again

[Jamie585]

Lighting issues has let Maria back in the match :bored:

[Jamie585]

Sharapova can literally come back from anything!!!!

[Jamie585]

This match has been Phenomenal!!

[Jamie585]

Everything went against Caroline In that second set!!

1 set a piece, both on tiebreakers and we've been going for 2 hours and 40 minutes :worship:

[Drew.]

Come on Caro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

Hurrah, shes done it!!!

[Jamie585]

Caroline :worship: :worship: :worship:

[Jamie585]

Probably the best match of 2014!!

7-6,6-7,6-2

[Jamie585]

Probably time for Aga to get destroyed by Petra :sad:

[Jamie585]

Aga taking the first set 6-2 is the biggest shock so far!! GO ON AGAAAAAAA

[Jamie585]

Radwanska beating Kvitova is the biggest shock so far! 6-2/6-3 :D

[Marc]

Cheeky Aga

[MTVN]

Jesus, Simona has just bageled Serena in the first set here :worship:

[MTVN]

This is beautiful, Serena going absolutely crazy on court and still can't win a game

[MTVN]

6-0, 6-2 :fan:

[Novo]

Were in for an unlikely Aga v Simona final

I fully expect Serena to mow down Genie now though 6-0 6-0

[Marc]

Ana won't get to the semis :(

I need Genie to step up and take down Serena and Ana to beat Simona.. :(

[Novo]

Caro 4-1
Petra 2-2
Aga 2-2
Maria 1-4

I didn't expect this

[Novo]

Maria not out yet though, she could beat Aga in straight sets (likely given the record against her) and go 3-4 and Aga would go 2-4 and the other match between Petra and Caro if Caro beats Petra in straight sets (not likely) then Petra goes 2-4 as well

[Novo]

And also Genie is not out yet either somehow...

She could beat Serena and go 2-4 the same as Serena but be above her on games w/l but she would need to destroy her and hope Halep destroys Ana

[Marc]

If Halep wins just one set then it's over for Ana </3

Shame. Good season for her and I think she deserves a SF berth.

[Jamie585]

Wozniacki and Radwanska through to the semi's :worship:

[MTVN]

Nice easy semi for Simona before she gives Serena another thrashing in the final :fan:

Genie has been laughably bad

[Drew.]

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

[Jamie585]

Nice easy semi for Simona before she gives Serena another thrashing in the final :fan:

Genie has been laughably bad

Don't rule Aga out! She beat Simona earlier this year at Indian Wells in straight sets

[Novo]

I still cant believe Maria lost that second set after being 5-1 up and having 3 MPs against Aga of all people, and she would have been through now if she took one of those MPs

[Marc]

Aw Ana :(

Glad she won. It's a good sign for 2015.

[Marc]

Gutting seeing Caro lose that match, she played really well

[Novo]

Yeah deserved to win really, the net saving Serena from going 5-1 down in the tie break

[Marc]

:fist:

[MTVN]

Can't stand these BT comms

[MTVN]

Pretty easy for Halep that :fan:

[MTVN]

Don't mess this up now Simona :worry:

[Marc]

Simona killing it!

Only person to beat her has been Ana :hehe:

[Marc]

And yeah the BT commentators ARE awful.

Anne Keothavong suckksssss

[Novo]

She must only have that job because of her Brother

[Black Dagger]

Hire Li Na tbh, she'd make more sense.

[Marc]

She must only have that job because of her Brother

Yeah she definitely slept with him.

Ana top 5 by just ten points :worship:

[Marc]

Andy and Ferrer are becoming a new rivalry. It's a boring one though!

Andy into the Valencia final! With Rafa withdrawing from London he's pretty much a guarantee to qualify

[MTVN]

Serena refusing to hold the ballgirl's hand, what a bitch she is

[Marc]

I think she's a pretty bad sport. The way she reacted after dropping the opening set yesterday was pretty awful

[MTVN]

Yeah she's very unlikeable, awfully stroppy woman

[Marc]

Yeah she's really really dislikeable. Hoping Simona smashes her

[MTVN]

Ugh this isn't looking good

[MTVN]

This is painful

[MTVN]

To think if Simona hadn't taken a set against Ana then Serena wouldn't have even got through :rant:

[Marc]

Simona's fault.

Disappointing end to the tournament

[Black Dagger]

Serena refusing to hold the ballgirl's hand, what a bitch she is

She should be lucky she even got the chance to be in Rena's presence tbh!

Oops didn't realise you posted that :hehe:

[MTVN]

Murray must be glad he put so much effort into qualifying now, playing basically every ATP tournament of the last few months just to get spanked in both his games

[Legend killer]

http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/roger-federer-celebrates-twins.gif

* Murray realising what happens when he plays proper players rather then the Robredo's and bums he has been feasting on for the last couple months.

Like giving Del Boy his gold medal I hope he will be putting up a statue of Roger in his homeland for blatantly giving Andy a game at 6-0 5-0 0:30 to help him save face

[Drew.]

Fed!!! Brilliant match, such a classy player. What a year Stan has had though.

[MTVN]

Federer pulling out of the final, how pissed off must you be if you had tickets for this evening

[MTVN]

Roping Murray in instead for an exhibition game, could it get any worse

[Drew.]

Murray must feel like a right tit playing sloppy seconds in an exhibition match.

[Legend killer]

Andy will be gunning for this victory he is not called * Andy for no reason go look at his Olympic final win for prove. Unfavourable conditions/bias don't bother Andy on his quest for victory. Look forward to Sue Barker telling us how if this Andy that showed up tonight played liked this in the tourney this would have been the final anyway

[Legend killer]

Reckon Roger pulled out with the DC in mind. But **** the DC today was another chance to embarrass another member of the GOLDEN GENERATION again

[Marc]

Disappointing tournament overall. This sums it up really

[Black Dagger]

Tennis has gone to the pits since Li retired :fist:

Least my DelPo will be back next year <3

[Legend killer]

Tennis has gone to the pits since Li retired :fist:

Least my DelPo will be back next year <3

LOOOOOOL Castle says Federer would have struggled to win a set after last night. Yet had the nerve to credit Murray with his greatest ever performance after the Olympic ****ing wanker

Also why was Stan and Roger scheduled as the second match yesterday??? Roger has been badly robbed in the UK this year

[Marc]

MURRAAAAY

[Legend killer]

Andy looks PUMPED ready to leave it all out there. A chance to add the WTF title to his * CV

[MTVN]

Fed is a disgrace, too proud to risk a spanking from Novak

[Legend killer]

Novak avoids ANOTHER beating from 33 year old Roger.

Giving Andy a game to save face and saving Novak from ANOTHER embarrassing defeat to a 33 year old Roger

AND YOUR STEFAN EDBERG SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD GOES TO ROGER FEDERER!!!!!!!!!!

[Legend killer]

Roger stains Novak's WTF trophy and nearly double bagels Andy and then leaves the two of them to play a dead rubber match looool

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!

[Legend killer]

Exhibition??? WHERE THE **** ARE THE EXHIBITION SHOTS??? All I see is there usual pusher shots to one another

THE CURSE OF ANDY STRIKES ONCE AGAIN!!

[Raph]

Come on Switzerland!!!

[Black Dagger]

Andy & Kim are engaged <3.

[Drew.]

Excellent news

[MTVN]

Pathetic

Just because you'll be forever alone with your cider crisps :idc:
