[Jemal]

[Marc]

Surely that'll be that

[Drew.]

Here we go

[Jemal]

Rafa is a beast.

[Jemal]

COME ONNNNN

[Drew.]

Lol I give up predicting what'll happen next.. These 2 are too unpredictable

[Jemal]

YEA!

[Marc]

:laugh: ridiculous

[Jemal]

When Rafa starts to grunt again, uno its crunch time.

[Marc]

fgs if he has to serve for this :joker:

[Marc]

and he's gonna have to serve it out

[Drew.]

This is yours Stan

[Jemal]

*collapses*
Ah it was a great effort

[Jemal]

Wow

[Marc]

Ahhhhhhh 3 C.P's

[Marc]

:worship:

[Drew.]

Congrats Stan.. Deserves it

[Drew.]

What is it with these low key celebrations.. I would be going mental especially winning a first grand slam

[Jemal]

I think rafa deserves alot of credit.
He cud of easily of retired and wawrinka in the history books would look like an novice winner.
But rafa is a great sportsman and carried on.

[Marc]

It's a shame Wawrinka couldn't have celebrated as much as he wanted

[Marc]

What is it with these low key celebrations.. I would be going mental especially winning a first grand slam

I reckon had Nadal been healthy he would have **** himself and cried

[Marc]

Such a bizarre thing to read: Wawrinka and Li Na win the Aus Open... no Nadal/Djokovic or Serena/Azarenka/Sharapova.. mental

[Marc]

Both Aus Open winners will go to world No.3

[Drew.]

Had this been Wimbledon Li Na and Stan would have started a riot with celebrations. Wimbledon >>>

[Drew.]

Rafa :(

[Jemal]

Ah rafa.

[Black Dagger]

Such a bizarre thing to read: Wawrinka and Li Na win the Aus Open... no Nadal/Djokovic or Serena/Azarenka/Sharapova.. mental

Wonderful thing to read :love:

Even if Nadal was injured, it's Stan's!

[Jemal]

When rafa cries..
Ah what a great man.

[Marc]

Pete! :worship:

[Drew.]

ATP top ten: 1. Nadal 2. Djokovic 3. Wawrinka 4. Del Potro 5. Ferrer 6. Murray 7. Berdych 8. Federer 9. Gasquet 10. Tsonga.

[Marc]

Ridiculous :joker:

[Jemal]

Vincent tan is that you?

[Marc]

He speaks English better than Rafa

[Drew.]

Vincent tan is that you?

:joker:

[Jemal]

Ah rafa trying not to cry.
Emotional stuff...

[Jemal]

Ah rafa trying not to cry.
Emotional stuff...

[Marc]

Pete looks sweaty

[Marc]

-steals IheartBB's award-
Ta

[Marc]

Don't cry Rafa

[Jemal]

*wipes a tear*

[Marc]

Crowd redeeming themselves after boo'ing him

[Marc]

:worship: Grand Stan champion

[Legend killer]

has to be said it's very sad seeing the lack of belief nadal has in his own game. The fact he is waiting for a player 5 years past his prime to make errors to win points even though he is at the top of his powers and physical prime is overly embarrassing and tells me a lot about what rafa thinks of his own talent levels or lack of them

that said i have a funny feeling stan going to do him in. Unlike roger the moonballing won't work vs stah who has one of the best back hands in the game (even though it's a shbh) and rafa himself has played at a level even poorer then usual for him. if he had faced del boy or djoko at any point bagels would have been freshly delivered

i am the one neo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

Rafa :love:

[Jemal]

i am the one neo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was injured...
From the second set.
And somehow still came back.
Respect him pls

[Marc]

Rafa just standing there :joker: his face

[Legend killer]

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rafa IS ALWAYS INURED WHEN HE IS LOSING was not a bit surprised when the trainer came out as usual Rafa tried to put the player of his rhythm with plan B after plan A of moonballing and time wasting did not work

Today was not just a good result for Stan it was a result for tennis a big F U to the pushers

[Legend killer]

I don't THINK RAFEA HAS EVER LOST whilst 100% healthy what a record that is

[Jemal]

Lord have mercy

[Legend killer]

Del Boy humiliated Rafa and Stan has disabled him

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE PUSHERS IS NEARING TO AN END

[Drew.]

I am going to miss these all nighters watching tennis. A nice little break is needed now.

[Black Dagger]

Nothing now until Indian Wells for me s0b.

Oh wait no, Qatar Open.

[MTVN]

2 poor finals

Nothing now till the French open

[Drew.]

My tennis break will last approximately 3 days until the WTA your begins again

[Marc]

[Drew.]

Donna is going to **** all over Purdys German jobber

[Drew.]

Lisicki beat Donna 7-5 2-6 6-4 :(

[MTVN]

Del Potro goes out second round, rises to 4 in the world, Murray goes out QF, drops to 6th :huh:

[Drew.]

"I can't with this Genie spam"

The tennis forum have had enough of my picture spamming

[Black Dagger]

Del Potro goes out second round, rises to 4 in the world, Murray goes out QF, drops to 6th :huh:

Del Po only lost a few points from that, and had wins in 500 series and finals in the 1000 series at the end of last year, Murray was a finalist at AO.

[Drew.]

[Marc]

Flopuguruza loses to Date-Krumm

[Black Dagger]

Del Po is injured, as if I showed little attention to the ATP as it is.

[Black Dagger]

Kimiko :love:

[Drew.]

Mugu losing to someone over twice her age

[Marc]

Drew have you ever played in those Suicide Tennis games on the TennisForum?

[Marc]

Lol @ Lisicki withdrawing after spanking Donna

[Drew.]

Only seven male Grand Slam champions in this era then, one of the lowest of all-time.

Federer: 17 (2003-2012)
Nadal: 13 (2005-2013)
Djokovic: 6 (2008-2013)
Murray: 2 (2012-2013)
Hewitt: 2 (2001-2002)
Del Potro: 1 (2009)
Wawrinka: 1 (2014)

[Drew.]

I always assume Djok has won more than he has

[Marc]

Murray to be top of that list in a few years time :pipe2:

[Black Dagger]

Del Po will slay 2015 tbh :hmph:

[Drew.]

Maria beat Hantuchova 6-0 6-1, ouch.

[Drew.]

Caro has sacked her coach Thomas Hogstedt.. whatever next

[Marc]

Call off the engagement

[Drew.]

Retirement is upon us

[Marc]

What on earth are doing up at this hour?

The Aus open has finished

[Drew.]

Early start for work

[Marc]

Go on Pav

Wouldn't mind seeing Errani win though

[Drew.]

Ugh Errani :notimpressed: looks like she's going to win

[Drew.]

Wooh Pav had all but lost after she was a set an 2-0 down but she's pulled it back and won.. Great stuff

[Marc]

I got a bit bored earlier and worked out how many points each of the top 20 womens players have to defend during February and March

http://i62.tinypic.com/96kbih.png

I sense a big fall for Maria, Errani and Caro :hehe:

Alternative view:http://i57.tinypic.com/2qsmmoh.png

Monfils wins Montpelier 250 with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Gasquet.

Cilic beats old man Haas to win the 250 in Zagreb.

It's the Vina de Mar Final tonight - Fognini v L.Mayer

[Black Dagger]

My Li about to be #2 by the end of this week :love:

[Drew.]

I got a letter from Wimbledon today and they have given us court 3 tickets on day 5 :inamood:

[Marc]

Go you miserable sod

[Marc]

Bethanie scalps another

[Drew.]

Dani and Ivanovic sharing the same court :flutter:

[Marc]

I bet dani had to retire after slipping on all the spunk on court

[Drew.]

That is exactly what happened

[Marc]

Bet she rolled around in it and got it dripping from her chin

[Novo]

Li Na out of Doha but takes the #2 spot from Vika, bad times

[Novo]

Pretty close now between Vika, Aga and Sharapova in the rankings, as it stands there are within 400 points of each other so if Aga wins she goes to #3 I think

[Marc]

Ana has disappointed me once again.

Looks like Bouchard might not even qualify for Dubai

[MTVN]

She is spending her time more wisely it seems

https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1/1800309_837052472976931_787341076_n.jpg

:creep:

[Marc]

:laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Disappointing week for my faves lol. Li should have had her 3rd title of the year wrapped up already seeming as Serena is awol. NVM. And I shouldn't expect much from DelPo atm.

[Marc]

womens ranking shouls be something like Serena, Li, Radwanska, Azarenka, Sharapova, Kvitova, Jankovic, Kerber, Errani, Halep

[Marc]

Genie and Pironkova survive early qualies scares

[Marc]

Decent draw for Dubai/Womens:

Williams / BYE
Kleybanova / Makarova
Stephes / Safarova
QUAL / Jankovic [5]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kvitova [3] / BYE
Sua Navarro / Petrova
Flipkens / QUAL
Cornet / Halep [7]

Wozniacki [8] / Lisciki
Stosur / QUAL
Cirstea / Vinci
BYE / Errani [4]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kerber [6] / Ivanovic
Williams / Vesnina
Kanepi / QUAL
BYE / Radwanka [2]

Depending on who actually qualifies every first round match is pretty decent!Qualies seeds: Bouchard, Pavlyuchenkva, Pennetta, Petkovic, Meusburger, Knapp, Mattek-sands, Zhang

[Drew.]

Genie playing Pironkova tomorrow :flutter:

Donna answered my question at 4:05 :love:

oqVDbazmmlc

You soppy **** :joker: she's speaking all jibberish

[Marc]

Simona owning it

[Marc]

Good good.. Errani dropping down the rankings.. hopefully she takes Caro with her.

It's been nice not having Serena around; a little more unpredictable

[Marc]

Beck, Pliskova through to main draw.

[Marc]

We have new tennis sisters

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Karolina+Pliskova+Kristyna+Pliskova+Australian+W47 VQ2kgvJsl.jpg

[Drew.]

Scary looking sisters

[Novo]

Looks a bit like Petra in the face

[Marc]

Halep with a foot problem. Cornet is gonna win this one

[Marc]

Looks a bit like Petra in the face

Well they are Czech!

[Marc]

Good Ana

[Novo]

Noticed that Sloane has had a bit of a blip recently, can't buy a win for ****..

[Novo]

Alize putting in the work this year, great win over Flipkens and nearly back into the top 20

[Drew.]

Cornet is about to take down Serena

[Novo]

Alize is on fire, amazing stuff from her this season

[Novo]

Firmly back into the Top 20 no matter what happens now and defending hardly anything from here on out

[Marc]

She's so arrogant I hate her

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/26304302

[Drew.]

The old bint Venus was too much for Alize MJ Cornet

[Marc]

Ah well at least it wasn't a Williams final

[Novo]

Venus #31 now

[DDRickyDD]

Federer comes from a set down to beat declining Djokovic in Dubai. The Swiss magician will play on form Berdych in the Final.

Andy Murray reaches his first SF since Wimbledon after coming from a set down to beat Gilles Simon. The Scot will play Bulgarian young gun Grigor Dimitrov in the Semi's.

[Marc]

Good job Fed

[Novo]

Indian Wells is just around the corner

[Marc]

:omg:

[Drew.]

Former British number one Elena Baltacha has been diagnosed with cancer of the liver

441960662143893504

[Novo]

Rosco and now her in the space of a two years, weird

[Novo]

Halep surging on again, another disappointing defeat for Maria and Vika is injured as usual

[Black Dagger]

Murray being a jobber and Del Po being an injured mess. Don't let me down Dolgo!

[Novo]

Aga with a massive win against Halep and Pennetta with a massive win against Li Na, both in the final tomorrow night

[Drew.]

Murray splits with Ivan Lendl by mutual consent, didn't really see that one coming

[Novo]

Thought he would have gone the rest of his career with him, ever since Lendl joined the team he has molded Murray into a copy of himself back in the 80s and he went onto win 8 Slams, can see Lendl coaching a french player, the massive goal of making one of them win a slam for the first time since Noah might be tempting

[Novo]

Donna beating Kuznetsova, a whole new low this season

[Novo]

Tomic won just 1 game against Jarkko, what a tit

[Black Dagger]

****ing mess.

I remember the Tomic fan who attacked Li Na just before she won AO this year saying she was a flop, karma imo <3.

[Drew.]

Saved a good £150 from leaving out Wimbledon this year and have booked my Eastbourne tickets, nice front row seats. I will be in the company of Laura, Caro, Genie or Donna, surely.

[Novo]

Alize has knocked Petko out of 3 big tournaments now this year

[Black Dagger]

Apparently Del-Po is out for 8-12 months :sad:

****ing wrist :mad:

[Novo]

He has missed 2 years of his career due to his injury if he's out for the season

[DDRickyDD]

Djokovic beat Murray in straight sets 7-5, 6-3 to reach the Miami Semi-Final's.

The Serb will play Nishikori in the SF, who beat Federer 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Tonight

Nadal - Raonic
Berdych - Dologolpolov

[Novo]

Would love to see another Dolgo and Nadal match after their Indian wells meeting

[Novo]

Maria went 4-1 up in the first set against Serena and blew it and 2-0 up in the second and looks like she has blown it again, typical

[Drew.]

Maria has completely thrown this away after being in good positions in both sets

[Novo]

Was 2004 worth it Maria

[Novo]

Good old Serena

[Black Dagger]

**** off Li, you're embarrassing at times. 'lol I could win this set 6-2 but losing it 7-5 is much more fun' sort yourself out.

[Novo]

Serena played **** all tournament and still breezed it in the end, dropped a set to Caroline Garcia, 4-1 and 2-0 down to Maria, **** start in the final as well, the only game she was her usual self in was the Kerber match

[Novo]

Donna's 100% tie break record for the season keeps going

[MTVN]

Murray is an absolute disgrace

[Novo]

**** sake relying on James Ward

[Novo]

Alize into yet another final after beating Aga in Poland

[Marc]

Alize you tiny monster.

[Novo]

Alize wins the Aga Trophy

[Novo]

Alize telling Giorgi's dad to be quiet :joker:

[Drew.]

DONNA!! Great win for her to claim her first title.

[Drew.]

Great match earlier, destroyed that alchy Aga

[Novo]

Maria hit every down the line forehand possible near enough but Aga's balls were there to be hit every time, Halep ( even though she got beat by Kuznetsova yesterday) or Serena for RG, Vika is unnatural on clay its like watching Bambi on ice and Maria unless she gets a lucky run and faces Errani in the final again will get destroyed by Li Na/Serena

[Novo]

http://i61.tinypic.com/num0x.jpg

[Black Dagger]

Nadal flopping on clay rn. A loss to Almagro earlier.

[Drew.]

:flutter:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmPPRSSCYAEIUBe.jpg

[Novo]

Her first title of the year

[Novo]

Vika is totally skipping the Clay court season I think, she is out of Rome and Madrid anyway so may as well not enter RG, everyone else can burn themselves out before Wimbledon

[Drew.]

Hopefully we've got some nice slippery courts again this year.

[Novo]

Think it is time Wimbledon replaced Grass with green coloured hard court

[Black Dagger]

Kei <3.

Nice to see my favourite (outside of Del Po and Muzza who are crippled) winning some tournaments.

[Novo]

Dmitrov won the other tournament today beating Rosol in the final, he is having a decent year so far

[Novo]

Poor Ula just suffered her 9th loss in a row

[Novo]

Genie getting destroyed by Sveta :worship:

[Drew.]

Looks like i might be seeing your Aga soon

[Novo]

Don't be silly, Aga won't enter a 250 tournament

[Drew.]

She was there last year

[Novo]

her last ever appearance there

[Novo]

I know Kiri is going to be there

[Drew.]

Apparently they always release the entry list really late which is annoying

[Marc]

Imagine a Kuz RG win

[Black Dagger]

Elena Baltacha has passed away </3

[Drew.]

Former British number one Elena Baltacha has been diagnosed with cancer of the liver

so many tributes from all the top stars and former champions, she was massively popular on the tour

Took this picture of Genie during our date, she looks so happy doesn't she Drew <3

[Black Dagger]

Fat bitch, look at everything she's eating.

[Drew.]

You wouldn't even be able to afford a Mcdonalds happy meal for her let alone a full size tapas

[Novo]

Just listened to some podcast with Alize and she said she has never talked to Sharapova, what a great girl

[Novo]

Lisicki looks much better now Hingis is her coach, she got beat by Halep in 3 sets but she played good stuff

[Locke.]

Better than Vika some would say

[Novo]

some would say she needs to win her first grand slam before she can be compared to another grand slam champion

[Marc]

Halep will be destroyed later.

[Drew.]

[Black Dagger]

Oh she isn't, her big news was she is on the cover of Time Magazine.

lovely.

[Novo]

Ana destroying Maria, lovely stuff.

[Jemal]

Why is it when murray is losing these clueless commentators keep bringing up how hes injured and it cant be easy for him.. But when hes winning everything's fine?

So annoying.

[MTVN]

Someone tell Marc to get the French Open game going

[Drew.]

Busy few months with RG, Eastbourne & Wimbledon coming up

[Jemal]

Nadal slaying as usual.
That backhand winner was ruthless

[Jemal]

COME ON RAFA

[Marc]

Errani frustrating Jelena

[Novo]

Vika out of RG, she has completely missed the clay season then suppose it could be a good thing

[DDRickyDD]

Djokovic probably won't get a better chance to RG than this year, it might be too late in 2015.

[Novo]

Cornetto is going to take a massive scalp this in RG, she'll probably destroy Serena again

[Novo]

Great Britain's Dan Evans was beaten in the first round of qualifying for the French Open in Paris.
Evans, 23, the British number two, lost 6-2 6-1 to Portugal's Gastao Elias, who is 187th in the world rankings.
Davis Cup team-mate James Ward, 27, claimed a 6-3 7-5 victory against Radu Albot of Moldova to set up a tie with American Ryan Harrison.
Dan Cox, 23, also advanced into the second qualifying round, beating Israel's Amir Weintraub 6-2 6-1.

[Marc]

Just think of all those points Vika can make up next year.

[Novo]

Comes back for Wimbledon and gets knocked out in Round 2, calling it

[MTVN]

What is McIlroy playing at

[Drew.]

He really is a grade A twat.. Caro deserves a real man <3

[Black Dagger]

Li Na laughs at their pathetic relationship.

[Novo]

Those wedding invitations are a stressful job

[Drew.]

What a random thing to include at the end of her tweet
