Who's Murray against next?

I thought Simon would have give him a challenge, was he tired after playing Monfils or something?

Just a bit :laugh: he had 3hrs treatment after that Monfils match, and he even said in his interview that he wouldn't win (pretty much).

[Marc]

Murray's next opponent

[Locke.]

Not one single match worth watching tonight

[Novo]

It's always worth watching Aga

[Novo]

Aga making the rarest Error ever on break point

[Novo]

Aga making the rarest Error ever on break point

[Novo]

Well Well Well she got another one and took it :worship:

[Legend killer]

Aga is the ferrer of the Womans game she lacks the power to beat the big boys and girls but will beat everyone outside the top 3 or 4 everyday of the week cause she hardly misses

[Novo]

Not playing like her usual self tonight though, a double fault and a forehand sitter before

[Locke.]

In more important news Lisicki has gotten herself a new Coach, the rise to World #1 begins now

[Novo]

AGA NO!!!!!

[Legend killer]

Lisicki just needs to be concerning herself on getting a new cock (preferably mine) because Tennis is a profession not suited to her skillset

[Black Dagger]

:joker:

[Novo]

Aga is in the zone now

[Maia]

Want Aga through but I really have a feeling it might be Li

[Novo]

:(

[Novo]

Oh wait she has broke at the start of the second... although that doesn't really mean much the way this match is going

[Black Dagger]

Knew I should have predicted Li.

Was contemplating it for 10 minutes tbh.

[Locke.]

Am I the only one who predicted Li?

We can hope.

[Drew.]

now she'll go on to win the next 2

[Black Dagger]

I nearly went with her, how annoying.

[Novo]

first set Aga dropped all year

[Maia]

Same here Lucas :(

[Maia]

Last night I ever go against my instinct

[Drew.]

Yeah Li's got this

[Maia]

Had a feeling it'd be close but didn't think Li would wipe the floor with her

[Maia]

My god :joker:

[Novo]

Poor Aga deserved to go to the Semis

[Drew.]

shes tearing her apart

[Novo]

you can do it Aga!!!

[Maia]

Aga :lovedup:

[Drew.]

this would be a miracle..

[Maia]

That last point :worship:

[Drew.]

that was her chance, ruined

[Black Dagger]

****ing hell Li.

Ruined my prediction.

[Maia]

Damn damn damn damn damn

[MTVN]

Am I the only one who predicted Li?

We can hope.

:xyxwave:

[Maia]

Last time I go against my bloody instinct :idc:

[Black Dagger]

Last time I go against my bloody instinct :idc:

Likewise Miss Mollie.

[Brother Leon]

Can we just fast forward to Vika getting ass ****ed in the final by Serena?

[Locke.]

:xyxwave:

You are even worse than me so that's ok

[Novo]

Can we just fast forward to Vika getting ass ****ed in the final by Serena?

They can't even meet each other in the final because they are on the same side of the draw.. fallback Simp Boy

[Drew.]

i miss Nadal

[Novo]

Li overtakes Kerber and claims the #5 spot in WTA rankings after beating Radwanska.

[Novo]

Serena 8/11
Sharapova 3/1
Li Na 5/1
Vika 11/2
Makarova 50/1
Stephens 66/1
Kuznetsova 66/1

[Drew.]

come on Ferrer!

[Novo]

Almagro serving for the match at the minute but has a break point to save

[Novo]

Ferrer breaks

[Drew.]

never saw this game going as it has..

[Drew.]

great stuff, clawed one back

[Maia]

Nearly put Ferrer in 5 as well...more regrets :'(

[Drew.]

your awake! :o

[Novo]

Serving to break the 12-0 record and he chokes and Ferrer takes the third set, Almagro probably doesn't even believe he can beat him at the minute

[Novo]

Serena and Venus might have to play a third set in the doubles against Vinci and Errani.. not good news for Serena since she is playing tomorrow

[Novo]

Yeah.. 3rd set

[Drew.]

Why is she even playing silly doubles

[Novo]

you'd think this year with all the fuss she's been making about winning everything she'd quit doubles and concentrate on Singles but she probably feels sorry for Venus who has no chance of winning anything in Singles

[Drew.]

:joker: poor Venus

[Drew.]

can he carry on... uh oh

[Drew.]

can he carry on... uh oh

[Novo]

And to think Almagro was serving for a straight set win at one point

[Novo]

@laurarobson5 whattttt? omg looks amazing…well its on the internet now..so u cant get away :))) and we will…enjoy ur day xx

[Novo]

Vika is tweeting Sloane now.. trying to give her some morale support before her match with Serena

[Novo]

Thank god this match is nearly over, i have been waiting for Makarova to beat Sharapova all night

[Maia]

Ferrer in 5

Great prediction there Mollie spot on how did you do it

[Novo]

very very very very lucky

[Novo]

5-5 in the third set in Serena/Venus v Errani/Vinci match

Hopefully this goes on a while

[Novo]

Break point Errani and Vinci

[Maia]

Can't believe it...here he is serving for the match after the fierce competition he had all throughout from Almagro, and what did I bloody have to do.....change it from 5 at the last minute

[Drew.]

hes gone and done it

[Maia]

Kicking myself

[Novo]

Errani and Vinci have beaten Venus and Serena

[Drew.]

Serena better not f up tomorrow

[Maia]

Virtually no one put him in more than 3....don't feel so bad now

Bring on the next match :pipe:

[Novo]

Li Na in this interview :joker:

[Maia]

Brilliant :joker:

[Novo]

Good hold for Makarova

[Drew.]

Look at all you bloody idiots going for Sharapova in 2

well

[Novo]

Hold your horses Drew, there is time yet for Makarova to come back into this

[Locke.]

That Serena-Sharapova final is edging closer

[Novo]

Sharapova hasn't even played that good, Serena and even Vika on current form would destroy her if she played like this against them

[Drew.]

Look at all you bloody idiots going for Sharapova in 2

Explain yourself

[Locke.]

If these last few games have been Vika playing good then I really do feel sorry for her when she plays Serena

[Novo]

I meant even Vika on the bad form she is on now, if she was on good form she would have destroyed Vesnina 6-0 6-0 and easily beat Hampton and Sharapova made the final last year playing pretty well but Vika beat her 6-3 6-0

[Locke.]

Time for Vika to fake another bad pedicure

[Novo]

When the draw was announced my aim for Vika was to make the Semis so if she wins tomorrow the goal has been achieved and it's another fine victory for the great one

[Novo]

In Serena's last 25 matches (Since Wimbledon) she has only dropped 1 set and that was in the US Open Final to Vika 6-2

[Locke.]

That is because she hasn't played Lisicki

[Novo]

Lisicki is like Tennis's answer to Kieran Dyer.. **** and mostly injured

[Locke.]

The great Rusedski in the studio, so much more likeable than Henman and Murray

[Novo]

Martina Hingis

[Locke.]

Tempted to go for a double on the underdogs, Sharapova and one of Murray/Federer

Federer and Sharapova is 17/1

[Novo]

http://i49.tinypic.com/2j5e7wg.jpg

Still going strong

[Locke.]

Hopefully Djokovic loses this first set so his odds to win the tournament go out on the live betting

[Locke.]

Oh no it is the commentator that brought Gasquet bad luck

[Novo]

Chris bradnam

[Novo]

Mats Wilander is the swedish one

[Novo]

they are having the most gayest conversation ever now about shorts

[Locke.]

"These are some of the fittest athletes in the world they should wear tighter clothing to show it off"

[Novo]

It's like Waldorf and Firewire have hijacked the commentary booth

[Locke.]

:joker: :joker:

[Novo]

Djokovic breaks

[Novo]

6-1

[Novo]

http://i47.tinypic.com/2qdamq1.jpg

[Novo]

Think i'll go for 6-2 Djokovic now

[Locke.]

Berdych 2-0 up

[Locke.]

Berdych takes the second set 6-4

Really good match this, he is pulling off some great shots

[Marc]

Poor Agniezska

[Novo]

It was like watching a really cute puppy being beheaded

[Locke.]

Q. I think you said you don't have a good singing voice, but your voice is in a Redfoo song, right?

VICTORIA AZARENKA: It's my grunt. It's not my vocals. I don't take high key or low key there. It's just natural.

Q. He laid that into a song?

VICTORIA AZARENKA: Yeah. I was a little bit shy and quiet, so you can only hear his voice there.

Q. Is it out yet, the song?

VICTORIA AZARENKA: Not yet. It will be soon.

[Marc]

Would be nice if Li won the Ao

[Marc]

Vika's sexual grunts on a single. Don't think Andy will leave his bedroom

[Legend killer]

Berdych is a fuken disgrace to sport I fuken hate choke jobs like him

[Novo]

The Vika Grunt song for #1

[Novo]

Would be nice if Li won the Ao

Might have to start supporting Simona Halep

http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/2/2/19966/7935807/11/simona-halep.jpg?width=480&height=700

[Novo]

Bet she stores Tennis balls down there

[Marc]

I bet she's used to balls being down there

[Novo]

I bet Lisicki's head has been between them a few times as well

[Locke.]

Djokovic just can't finish it off

[Locke.]

Shouldn't have said that. Djokovic wins.

[Legend killer]

I'm quite a fan...

[Locke.]

She is so annoying

[Novo]

Said no one ever

[Locke.]

Serena vs Sloane is the match to look forward to tonight. Two horrible players in the Vika game, no interest in Murray at all, and Federer-Tsonga will be on too late

Lets hope my new second favourite player pulls it off

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4zyfgceOT1rujwg3o1_500.jpg

[Novo]

Sloane and Serena is just power v power... Vika and Sveta will have much more variety

[Locke.]

Yes but they are both horrible people whereas Sloane and Serena are both lovely

[Marc]

Sloane's errors will lose her the match in straight sets

[Novo]

Well lets just hope Serena makes it quick and painless this time in the semi finals

[Marc]

Oh I guess I should open the next day of picks

[Legend killer]

Have a really bad feeling for TMF tonight sadly. If Tsonga's head is straight his power game is something Fed cannot contain at his age as we saw at the USO last year vs Berdy. However if he can get through tonight without it being a marathon match you might aswell place his name in the final because Andy does not have the power or Balls to beat Fed at a major. (please don't mention Olympics Fed was a ZOMBIE out there)

[Drew.]

last full night of tennis tonight.. i think?

[Maia]

Wonder how I will fare tonight, getting the feeling I should've gone against my instincts with the Vika match that will be a close one

[IheartBB]

Come on, Sveta! Finish what injured Jamie Hampton started and silence that hoe.

[Drew.]

Wonder how I will fare tonight, getting the feeling I should've gone against my instincts with the Vika match that will be a close one

Remember to go with your instincts tonight, its so close 1 result can change the top

[Locke.]

You can do it Sveta!!!!

[Novo]

Come on Vika!!!!!!

[Drew.]

looking back at my predictions.. iv picked all my winners to win without dropping a set.. thats never going to happen

[Locke.]

Only stream I can find is foreign... Kill me now

[Maia]

Did the same bar Murray - wasn't confident Federer or Vika would do it in straight sets but went for that anyway

[Maia]

You need a Eurosport subscription in your life

[IheartBB]

Good start but she's going to have to serve better than that.

[Locke.]

You need a Eurosport subscription in your life

I have Eurosport downstairs on Sky so they should just give me it for free to be honest :idc:

[Novo]

Great hold Vika

[Novo]

probably her best of the tournament

These games are going on forever

[Maia]

Can only really see Svet winning this game

[Maia]

Oh and sure enough...

oh bloody hell Vika.. i wont be leaving my seat again then

[Locke.]

Why does my commentator keep whispering

[Maia]

Really regret putting Vika in 2 now :/

[Maia]

God sake TiBB why are you being so slow tonight http://www.toffeetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/shaking%20fist.png

[Maia]

How the hell is Svet only ranked 50th...

[Locke.]

Yes Sveta :worship:

[Drew.]

God sake TiBB why are you being so slow tonight http://www.toffeetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/shaking%20fist.png

Absolutely terrible tonight D: Taking about 10 minutes each time to post anything

[Maia]

The comeback is on...hopefully

[Drew.]

Yes! .. wont get my hopes up to much of a come back just yet tho

[Drew.]

Phew

[Maia]

Hope I'm wrong but this could go 6-4 Svet

[Novo]

****, it's needs must time

[Locke.]

Finish her Svet

[Brother Leon]

This Vika match is boring. Clippers V Thunder can't start soon enough.

[Novo]

Great match so far between two great Champions

[Maia]

Yes!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

exciting and tense game, 5-5!!

[Maia]

Fantastic

[Drew.]

here we go

[Maia]

Hold your serve Vika!!!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

Kuznetsova you are useless :bored:

[Novo]

I think Kuznetsova has just learned if you try and take the power out of Vika's game it will just make her angry

[Maia]

Set point!!!!!

[Maia]

Aghh

[Locke.]

Go on Kuz

[Maia]

Set point #2

[Maia]

Svet keeps saving it

[Drew.]

oh not again

[Maia]

Set point #3

[Maia]

YES done it!!!!!!!!!

[IheartBB]

One of those 'better player lost' kind of sets.

[Locke.]

Useless :bored:

[Drew.]

YES! 4-1 down to 7-5, great first set

[Maia]

Now don't slip up in this next set Vika, mama needs a new pair of socks

[Novo]

Another one of those " Players who tried to Undue Vika's power but failed " kinda set

I have forgiven Novo for his sins the other day and Vika is about the only one still in worth supporting other than Serena

[Locke.]

Getting used to this french commentary think I've picked up more words from this than I did doing 5 years of Spanish in school

[Brother Leon]

Just going to say Maria>>>Vika.


bye.

She is probably the only tennis player you know

I know Maria & The Williams sisters in Womens(lol Womens Tennis).


You know Serena....the one who humiliated your girl every time :p

[Novo]

Oh her.. the player that Vika Bageled in a grand slam final

[Locke.]

I have forgiven Novo for his sins the other day and Vika is about the only one still in worth supporting other than Serena

Can you not be tempted into being a fan of the lovely Sloane?

Remotely tempting but she will probably be taken to the cleaners by Serena tonight so wouldn't do much good

[Brother Leon]

Oh her.. the player that Vika Bageled in a grand slam final

Wimbledon
Olympics
US Open

Serena must be bored of wiping the floor with that Jobber.

[Novo]

Wimbledon
Olympics
US Open

Serena must be bored of wiping the floor with that Jobber.

Was talking about Sharapova since that is the player you mentioned first, Vika is the only player to take a set from GOAT Serena in the past 25 matches so fallback Jobber

[Drew.]

i think that might be game over

[Maia]

Well well well what can I say, never doubt Mollie's natural instincts

[Maia]

Makes me think I probably should've put Fed in 4/5 after all

[Drew.]

Well well well what can I say, never doubt Mollie's natural instincts

:joker: you always doubt them yourself !

[Maia]

:joker: you always doubt them yourself !

...................yes :sad:

[Novo]

Vika is putting on a show for us now

[Drew.]

...................yes :sad:

today's the turning point :)

[Maia]

Vika is just showing everyone how it is done

[Maia]

today's the turning point :)

This is sheer proof if any that my instinct must never be doubted

[Locke.]

Remotely tempting but she will probably be taken to the cleaners by Serena tonight so wouldn't do much good

Maybe not with that good old Mollie luck on her side :nono:

[Brother Leon]

Mollie, go bed ffs. :idc:

[Novo]

That Ace was just something else :worship:

[Drew.]

feel a bit sorry for Kuznetsova

[Maia]

Match point!!!!!!!!! :amazed:

[Novo]

Well Drew this is what happens when you come up against the best in the world

[Maia]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect prediction :worship:

[Drew.]

shame its all Kuznetsover..

[Locke.]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

Maybe not with that good old Mollie luck on her side :nono:

Could have a point although that only got Caroline so far

Mollie, go bed ffs. :idc:

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

cheeky bit of promoting

[Maia]

Vika plugging Redfoo :joker:

[Locke.]

Look at Redfoo having the time of his life

[Novo]

2 more matches Vika.. just 2 more matches :worship:

[Drew.]

i dont know the order of play tonight.. please be Murray next

[Maia]

A close one there Chardy definitely has some skills

[Locke.]

Serena/Sloane is next

[Maia]

Another perfect prediction there hopefully

[Drew.]

Serena/Sloane is next

oh poo, oh well Serena will have it over in under an hour

[Brother Leon]

Who does Murray have?

[Maia]

Who does Murray have?

Jeremy Chardy a very skilled player, happens to be from France as well

[Brother Leon]

Never heard of him. Federer Vs Tsonga looks like the tie of the round.

[Drew.]

Never heard of him. Federer Vs Tsonga looks like the tie of the round.

Yeah easily, should be a good one

[Maia]

Never heard of him. Federer Vs Tsonga looks like the tie of the round.

Don't underestimate him he has knocked out Del Potro and Seppi so far

[Maia]

Federer v Tsonga will be close though, very much regret putting that as 3 now
