The Old Tennis Thread

[Locke.]

for **** sake

[Novo]

The Dream is over for Sabine.. come and join me on the Vika Express all the way to GloryVille

[Locke.]

yes!!! here we go

[Novo]

to little to late for this one

[Marc]

She's fighting

[Marc]

Aw

[Marc]

Aga take first set against Kirilenko

[Novo]

Fighting a losing battle Marc

[Marc]

"That's ridiculous"

Indeed it is Virginia

[Locke.]

Female commentator is clearly a lesbian and in love with Kerber

[Jayson]

Lisicki's done :(

[Marc]

Most probably but we don't have actual evidence

[Novo]

Lisicki should have challenged that

[Marc]

Jayson :nono: Don't be so negative

[Jayson]

But it's the truth :bawling:

[Marc]

mon Sabine

[Marc]

Its IN !!

[Marc]

Aw she's still smiling regardless, definitely a good sportsman

[Marc]

Match Point :sad:

[Marc]

Oh dear.. not a double

[Marc]

Fantastic save

[Jayson]

Tense.

[Jayson]

adv. Lisicki :amazed:

[Jayson]

She's doing well to stay in it

[Locke.]

Right Jayson stay right here you are proving to be a good luck charm

[Novo]

stop fighting Sabine

[Marc]

Momentum has changed

[Jayson]

I think if I keep on being negative Lisicki will win.

I mean, THERE'S NO WAY SHE'LL WIN THE SILLY COW.

[Marc]

...or not

[Jayson]

She pulled it back to 5-5 so it's not over yet.

[Novo]

Kirilenko is giving Radwanska a good game

[Jayson]

What a time to double fault...

[Jayson]

Why can't Lisicki get a first serve in? :(

[Jayson]

YES :amazed:

[Marc]

Very good service game

[Marc]

The court is against her

[Novo]

slipped on the Pigeon feathers i knew it would happen sooner or later

[Marc]

Back on serve :pipe:

[Marc]

Silly Kerber, that was atrocious

[Marc]

Aga breaks to lead second set against Kirilenko.

[Marc]

Wow. Great get

[Jayson]

As soon as I come back from the bog Lisicki starts playing well again... :suspect:

[Marc]

Eek

[Jayson]

:amazed: :amazed: :amazed: :amazed: :amazed: :amazed: :amazed: :amazed:

[Locke.]

yes1!!!!!!!!

[Marc]

Like a boss :pipe:

[Jayson]

YESSSSSSSSS :amazed:

[Locke.]

Wonder what odds she was to win this game when she was 1 set and 3 games to 1 down

[Marc]

Sabine FTW

[Novo]

Is this some kind of sick Joke

[Marc]

Kirilenko broke back and held serve. Back on serve 5-4 to Kirilenko

[Locke.]

That **** of a coach has had that smile well and truly wiped off his face

[Locke.]

Lisicki is just winding her up now

[Marc]

Kirilenko takes the second 6-4

[Novo]

Corruption at Wimbledon.. Vika will have to play tomorrow at this rate

[Marc]

Definitely Lisicki's to lose now

[Novo]

Maria has just leveled things up at 1-1 with Radwanska

[Marc]

Umpire checking the court again on No.1

[Novo]

If they had any sense they'd put Vika and Paszek on center court after this match

[Marc]

They might. Or a wheelchair doubles

[Locke.]

Kerber is falling apart out there

[Marc]

She'll soon be

Ke rb and er

[Marc]

Play suspended on court 1

[Locke.]

Lisicki leads for the first time in the match

[Marc]

Kerber needs some psychological help

[Novo]

Kerber is ****ed

[Marc]

Wow

Scary pressure points from Sabine

[Locke.]

****

[Novo]

Well Well Well

[Marc]

Not that one though.

Kerber practically playing that last point on her knees

[Marc]

I would challenge as well

[Marc]

I would have been wrong D:

[Locke.]

Well well well

[Marc]

[2] well

[Marc]

Uhoh

[Marc]

Oh deary

[Locke.]

no way

[Marc]

Well that was stupid

[Jayson]

Come on Sabine

[Jayson]

Uh oh

[Locke.]

****ing hawk eye

[Novo]

Well Well Well Lockster

[Jayson]

****

[Locke.]

Oh **** off she really didn't deserve that

[Novo]

:pipe:

[Marc]

Aw shame

[Locke.]

What an awful attitude Kerber has... whoever plays her next best knock her out

[Novo]

Well we've seen the Jobbers in action i think it's time for the Main Event soon

[Novo]

these two need to speed things up here

[Locke.]

servicewinner98 ‏@wildhorses66

What a chance, what a mach, what a bad luck, what a sad day ...she didn't deserve to lose it..I'm over and over in tears.#injustice

Sums it up perfectly. Paszeck winning here would help cure a bit of the annoyance.

[Novo]

Behave :joker:

[Munchkins]

Fantastic match between Kerber and Lisicki
Would love Kerber to go on to win...

I so hope Serena doesn't win, id hate her to win again.

[Novo]

Yes!!!!!!!! Vika on Center Court

[Locke.]

More pigeons will be falling

[Novo]

Destroy her Vika

[Novo]

Perfect

[Novo]

Stop it Vika your to good

[Locke.]

Paszek looking the better player here

[Munchkins]

I'm watching the Radwanska match, would love her to get through to her first grand slam semi final :)

[Novo]

Perfect again

[Locke.]

umpire calls the game off for the night :bored:

[Marc]

She couldn't challenge that. Silly cow

[Munchkins]

Soo annoyed the Radwanska match has been took off
the winner has such a disadvantage since they are playing tomorrow, whilst everyone else has a break :/

[Novo]

Vika is giving this one the run around

[Marc]

Good shot

[Marc]

Wish she'd be quiet

[Novo]

1st Serve Points won - 100%

Says it all

[Marc]

Why say it when you can scream it like a banshee

[Novo]

Sounds like a Goddess to me

[Marc]

Great hold

[Marc]

That roof is marvellous

[Novo]

Get the **** in!!! finish her Vika

[Marc]

For god sake

[Novo]

eat her for breakfast

[Novo]

Are you watching Serena? you horrible ****

[Marc]

Serena is probably bathing in a nice warm bath laughing at this match tbh

[Novo]

That Vika backhand will give her something to laugh about when it hits her bang on the forehead

[Marc]

Wondering why these two jobbers are even trying

[Novo]

**** that was a bad game

[Marc]

Nice tit shot of Vika a few points ago

[Marc]

A nice three setter would be nice

[IheartBB]

Unless Kerber plays a Stsour-like final, Serena has this in the bag. Today's match was virtually the final.

The fact that Radwanska has been pushed to 4-4 in the third against Kirilenko speaks volumes.

[Marc]

Yeah definitely, Serena will win with ease

[Marc]

Interesting... BPs for Paszek

[Novo]

oh no

[Marc]

oh wow she did break!

[Marc]

This has just got interesting...

[Marc]

That was pretty impressive.

It's crazy how she's only world no.37

[Novo]

Well done Vika.. please just finish it this time

[Marc]

ahh poo

[Locke.]

How come Azarenka is so disliked?

[Marc]

the noise she makes

[Marc]

plus everybody loves an underdog

[Marc]

tie breaker :pipe:

seems fair for this set

[Marc]

well played Vika good win

Serena will destroy you though.

[Marc]

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01540/serena_1540304a.jpg

[Novo]

Just easy for Vika isn't it

[Munchkins]

Well done Vika :)

So glad they are putting Randwanska on Center now :) makes it fair

[IheartBB]

Well done to Azarenka. Play like that against Serena please... :joker:

Paszek has saved 8 match points in the last 10 days. Couldn't save the 9th :( Hope to god she finally builds on this good form and gets her ranking up where it belongs.

[Munchkins]

Really hope Radwanska can beat Kirilenko :)

[Novo]

Vika is to quick for Serena

[Marc]

Wow the tournament organisers pulling their fingers out and putting Rad/Kiri back on :D

[Marc]

Well done to Azarenka. Play like that against Serena please... :joker:

haha aw poor girl, she's a real fighter and totally deserves top 20 for that showing.

I don't know how it will work out, but I'm sure she'll be top 25 at the least come Monday

[Novo]

Poor girl? the jobber should have tried harder

[Marc]

Really hope Radwanska can beat Kirilenko :)

Sameeee fingers crossed!

[IheartBB]

haha aw poor girl, she's a real fighter and totally deserves top 20 for that showing.

I don't know how it will work out, but I'm sure she'll be top 25 at the least come Monday

She was a quarter finalist last year though so I don't think she'll move up much. If she hadn't wasted the first 6 months f this year losing to the likes of Keothavong, Tatashvili and Rodionova she could be top 20 right now.

Another sad fact is that she is not elibable to play the Olympics due to lack of Fed Cup appearances :(

[Jordan.]

Kirilenko will be tying this up nicely

[Marc]

Yeaah I just saw actually, forgot she got so far last year. Dhe lost to Vika too but she did much better this time around pushing her to two tight sets.

It's a shame, but she'll have to learn and she's only young, she'll play the next Olympics no doubt!

[Marc]

What an awful miss to start off this potentially short period of tennis.

Hope that doesn't haunt her :(

[Locke.]

Radawanska here to win me some money.

Serena to win the tournament though :pipe:

[Novo]

You do love backing the losers don't you i'll give you that

[Locke.]

Serena will be snapping Vika in half in the semi's, the only person that could have stopped her was unlawfully knocked out earlier today

[Novo]

Not even Serena Williams can get in the way of Vika's destiny

[Marc]

Yes! Good girl Aga! Great win for you

Great semi finalist

[Marc]

Vika will crumble like the little bitch she is

[Marc]

Just in time for BB

[Novo]

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6lrfwzg001rncz9lo1_500.jpg

Bring it on

[Munchkins]

Radwanska to win i love her
but i fear Serena will win
Vika please beat serena :((

[Novo]

Radwanska to win i love her
but i fear Serena will win
Vika please beat serena :((

Don't you worry Munchkins your in safe hands with Vika i have no doubt at all she'll send Serena packing

[Marc]

Radwanska beating either Vika/Serena in the final would be amazing

[Novo]

[Novo]

Are the Semi Finals on Thursday?

[IheartBB]

Thursday for the women, Friday for the men.

I'm a little worried for Murray tomorrow. I ordinarily wouldn't give Ferrer a chance against Andy on grass but he's in great form at the minute. Beat Andy at the French, won s'Hertowhateveritscalled last week and had back to back wins over Roddick and Del Potro in rounds 3 and 4.

Having said that, Murray was pretty impressive against Cilic yesterday and today too so who knows.

Looks like they won't payout because of the rain delay

The good folks at PaddyPower must just think the third set is being played tomorrow

[Novo]

Have they got odds on Serena v Vika yet?

[Locke.]

No, just outright for some reason.

Serena - 11/10
Vika - 11/5
Person who doesn't deserve to be there - 5/1
Radawanska - 7/1

Pretty surprised Serena isn't odds on, Kerber and Radwanska shouldn't be to much trouble for either Vika or Serena

You can get Serena 2-0 at 6/4, it will be much closer then the match they had in Madrid though when Vika was ****ed from the amount of games she played leading up to that match

[Novo]

Time for Vika to shape the destiny of the Womens game on Thursday and send Serena packing

[Brother Leon]

Come on Roger.

[Locke.]

Youzhny asking the royal box for advice :joker:

[Marc]

Oh Muzza

[Locke.]

I really feel like playing Top Spin

[Novo]

I've got Top Spin 3 somewhere still need to get the fourth one

[Locke.]

Only £12 on amazon

[Jayson]

I've got Top Spin 4 :pipe:

[Novo]

there is a new one called Grand Slam Tennis 2 which looks really good

[Locke.]

Just ordered it, isn't that many real players on it will have to create Lisicki myself

[Novo]

Yeah there never really is many real players on Tennis games.. should be DLC or something

[Novo]

Murray playing some good tennis at the minute

[Marc]

C'mon Muzza, really stepped it up a gear. He could have done without the rain delay but what can you do

[Shaun]

yay Murray http://www.twcenter.net/forums/images/smilies/unitedkingdom.gif

[Marc]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

yeeeeeessss

[Novo]

He'll never get a better chance then this

[Marc]

Indeed.

Fed to beat Nole and it'll be a perfect Wimbledon

[IheartBB]

Yes Muzza :hello:

Well played Ferrer too. Could have been a whole different story if he had successfully served for that second set.

Tsonga wasn't the most convincing in his quarter final either so signs are looking good for Murray. Hope he doesn't choke like in 2009 :bored:

[Marc]

Don't remind me, I was there :bawling:

[Maia]

Either Murray or Tsonga in the final. Win-win for me there.

[Maia]

Also Vika still going strong :worship:

[Locke.]

Serena knocking her out tomorrow

[Marc]

I'm liking the idea that Andy or Tsonga are in the final :)

[Marc]

Serena knocking her out tomorrow

Gonna be close

[IheartBB]

Yes Muzza :hello:

Well played Ferrer too. Could have been a whole different story if he had successfully served for that second set.

Tsonga wasn't the most convincing in his quarter final either so signs are looking good for Murray. Hope he doesn't choke like in 2009 :bored:

[Novo]

Come on Radwanska

[Marc]

Raddddy!!!!

[Marc]

I think she should be nicknamed that, lets all call her that from now on.

[Novo]

**** sake Raddy

[Novo]

Radwanska looks so much smaller then everyone else

[Locke.]

Looks like my next door neighbour

[Novo]

Gip?

[Locke.]

About a 5/10

[Novo]

Raddy is a 7

[Locke.]

Don't be absurd

[Novo]

Official GIP grades 2012

Vika 10/10
Raddy 7/10
Kerber 4/10
Serena 1/10

[Novo]

Raddy wins the first set and Lisicki is sitting there thinking " why didn't i do that? "

[Locke.]

It was all about tactics, she wanted a couple of days extra rest before the olympics

[Locke.]

Some justice for Lisicki is about to be handed out

[Marc]

Cmon Raddy

[Marc]

YAAAAAAAY!!!

:cheer2:

[Locke.]

Good stuff, that German finals record is still open for Lisicki to break

[Brother Leon]

Women's tennis is boring.

When is My Man Tsonga on? :p

[Novo]

Looks like Vika is going to be World #1 for the Olympics if she either makes the final or Raddy losses in the final

[Novo]

Women's tennis is boring.

When is My Man Tsonga on? :p

get out of here jobber

[Marc]

Good stuff, that German finals record is still open for Lisicki to break

....Steffi Graf

[Marc]

Women's tennis is boring.

When is My Man Tsonga on? :p

get out of here jobber

I concur.

[Locke.]

....Steffi Graf

Yeah, but there has been no one since her, they was talking about it the other day.


I have risked it and gone for Vika to win this 2-1 at 4/1

[Marc]

Serena in 2

[Novo]

It's time to believe in miracles

[Marc]

Keep it up Vika

[Locke.]

How is anyone supposed to compete with Serena :joker:

[Novo]

**** off with the aces

[Marc]

How is anyone supposed to compete with Serena :joker:

That's why she's the best player of the 2000's

[Novo]

Well played Vika

[Shaun]

Serena :love:

I liked the Kerber/Radwanska game. A couple of really crazy pieces towards the end of the match.

[IheartBB]

Serena's return game is all over the place at the minute. Could/should have been 5-0 right now.

[Novo]

get in

[Novo]

Vika needs to take this to a tie break and hope for the best

[Locke.]

She needs to hope for an injury

[Marc]

Silly Serena :pipe:

[Novo]

Sprained her foot there with a bit of luck

[Brother Leon]

Cmon Serena.

[Marc]

Break here

[Novo]

Oh no
