The Old Tennis Thread

[Drew.]

this is a bad sight...

[Drew.]

this is literally Serena #2

[Locke.]

Look at Vika faking injuries now

[Maia]

This can't be happening

[Drew.]

Li Na is looking like the champion right now.. consistent and no injuries

[Drew.]

YESS!! feel for Sloane tho

[Locke.]

Unlucky Sloane

[Maia]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

Sloane is going to have many great years ahead of her

[Drew.]

Half a million dollars richer at her age.. living the dream

[Novo]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

Great victory for Vika would like to think my support helped her over the line, knew she could do it all along

[Maia]

Half a million dollars richer at her age.. living the dream

Very true and making the semi-final of this as well....she can't complain at all

[Drew.]

2 hours before Djok.. :shocked:

nap time i guess

[Novo]

Words can't explain just how Amazing Vika is

[Maia]

Going to get some sleep I reckon

[Drew.]

Going to get some sleep I reckon

you going to be waking up for the Djok game?

[Locke.]

That was probably the last game of the tournament worth watching unless Federer makes the final

[Novo]

All the Americans after Vika's blood because she took that MTO

[Marc]

Li will win :amazed:

[Marc]

Very true and making the semi-final of this as well....she can't complain at all

She will next year when she fails to make the 3rd round and loses all those ranking points :pipe:

[Novo]

Li will win :amazed:

A 10 minute MTO should do the trick to secure back to back titles

[Marc]

Nah

I'm gutted I didn't put Li down for the win, I was toying with the idea

[Novo]

Well looks like i have the Womens title wrapped up because their isn't a chance that Vika will lose in the final

[Marc]

Li Na is gonna kill her

[Novo]

Vika will destroy Li Na on her second serve.. Sharapova was awful today at taking advantage of Li Na's service game but Vika the greatest returner in the world will destroy it.. 6-3 6-3 Vika.. try again next year Li Na

[Marc]

Nails will scratch her to pieces

[Novo]

The Aussies will be even worse then usual with their horrible bullying of poor Vika

[Marc]

I see Vika cheated and took a ten-minute timeout for unneeded treatment

[Novo]

Much need treatment, the poor girl was having breathing problems

[Marc]

She will do on Saturday when she is getting bitch slapped with Li's racquet

[Marc]

http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/4482792-3x2-700x467.jpg

Asian Invasion.

[Novo]

don't go around saying sick things like that

[Black Dagger]

Li Na will be putting that bitch in place, and will earn her place in my signature when she does :worship:

[IheartBB]

Cheaterenka :nono: what a disgrace to tennis and humanity she is. Hopefully Li will put her in her place.

[Wildcat!]

Man! Vika is getting destroyed all over the internet by everyone . I feel bad for her now! Really she only used the rules. Granted it wasn't fair on Stevens, but the rules should be to blame , or the empire who allowed the timeout. Anyway, its not like Sloane was gonna win for sure. Shame on her, but I feel like she used the rules to help her. A lot of players do it all the time, she just picked a crucial moment in the match.
It is gonna make the final, uncomfortable to watch though.

[Brother Leon]

What a terrible cheat. Makes Suarez look like a saint.

[Maia]

Just seen the Djoko v Ferrer match....Christ how did David let that one go

[Drew.]

i almost dont know what to do with myself tonight now there's no tennis until 8am

[Novo]

Play a bit of Top Spin on the Xbox i think

[Locke.]

Woke up in time for the match, great stuff

[Legend killer]

God this analysis is cringworrhy

[Legend killer]

God i hope fed shuts Castle and Barker up its even worse then Wimby last year

[Marc]

Barker knows what she's on about

[Marc]

Ugh I have a job interview to prep for :(

[Marc]

Mirka's a cheeky bitch

[Marc]

This is going to be a long one

[Legend killer]

As i worried he is fatigued the serve tells a lot even this early on

[Marc]

Murray can run the first 10 metres sprint like Usian Bolt :joker:

[Legend killer]

I think this will the great mans last year at the top. His moment is so slow now to be expected with his age

[Marc]

C'mon Murray!

72% First Serves, great stuff. Keep it up

[Locke.]

Murray takes the first set, Federer not playing too well

[Marc]

Murray is making Federer play bad, when you see momentum in points change, Federer is awesome.

Murrays game is to frustrate and dictate points by being scrappy and having a great defensive game

[Locke.]

As LK said Roger is fatigued Murray is very lucky here

[Legend killer]

Feel sorry father time is taken its toll on him

[Legend killer]

Marc please tell me what game your watching???

defensive and scrappy lol he attacking everything

[Marc]

Yeah but have you seen him on the run? He's amazing, he doesn't give up on any point... he's one of the toughest people to beat on your own serve

[Maia]

Omg slept in an hour late :(

Looking good here though

[Marc]

Mollie, slap yourself.

[Maia]

Slapping myself Marc can't believe I'd miss an hour of this

[Locke.]

No worries it was just an hour of Roger giving him a head start

[Legend killer]

Lol prime Hewitt would own Andy. And prime Roddick would own Novak Rafa Andy on a Harcourt. Have to mute this clueless biased commentary

[Marc]

Watch it on Eurosport then

[Locke.]

So obvious Murray is going to do this in 3

[Maia]

He better not had I need a full round

[Maia]

Drop a set Murray

Doesn't matter what you do after that

[Marc]

:laugh: Mollie

[Locke.]

He better not had I need a full round

It is inevitable I'm afraid

Djok will do him in straight sets in the final to make up for it though

[Black Dagger]

Drop a set Murray

Doesn't matter what you do after that

OMG, I've got the same mind-set for this game. :joker:

[Marc]

Only MTVN has Murray in 3

[Locke.]

Only MTVN has Murray in 3

Crap well I can't have him overtaking me aswell. Even more reason to support Federer

[Locke.]

In slightly better news it is snowing again

[Maia]

How close is this set

[Maia]

Murray's gonna take this tiebreak and then go on to win it in 3 :(

[Locke.]

Roger outclassing him now :worship:

[Locke.]

No!!!! I really need to stop jinxing things

[Maia]

God sake Purdy!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

"Oh no!!!!!!!" when Federer wins a point to go 6-5 up

Most biased commentary ever :joker:

[Maia]

The Fed!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

Yes!!!!! Federer takes the second set

[Maia]

YES

Right now win the next 2 Murray!!

[Legend killer]

Allez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marc]

C'mon Muzza!

[Black Dagger]

Take the next 2 sets now ya wee scottish bastard.

[Marc]

He let his mind slip a bit there at the end of set 2 :bored:

[Maia]

This is too close

[Black Dagger]

I'm not liking this s0b.

[Locke.]

Kevin Spacey is on the scene

[Legend killer]

Not only is he as quick as Usain he is also an Ironman Pmsl so why is he struggling against 32 year old TMF

[Black Dagger]

Break his serve muzza !!!!!!

[Locke.]

No!!!!!

[Maia]

Andy breaks :shocked:

[Black Dagger]

He's broke, come on Muzza, the set can be yours :amazed:

[Legend killer]

Roger is wrecked loooool

[Maia]

Muzza has this 3rd set

[Legend killer]

Fair play to Roger he took a set of the Ironman at least shame the Tsonga match is taking its toll

[Maia]

Murray takes the 3rd!!!! :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

YES!!!! <3

[Maia]

Oh no can see this going to 5 sets

[Black Dagger]

5 sets can **** right off. I want my points.

[Locke.]

Yes!!!! Roger breaks!!!!

[Maia]

Oh god it's happening ;_;

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, this is going to 5 sets.

[Maia]

Imagine the lead I could've had putting Murray in 5...:( No one else did

(assuming he still wins this after all)

[Legend killer]

All banter aside if Andy gets ousted by Fed who only a couple of days earlier played a 5 setter and is 32 he will need to take a long hard look at himself

[Locke.]

No!!!!!!

[Maia]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

[Legend killer]

Locke he is tired and has been since the third don't expect to much from the great man

[Marc]

My heart..

[Maia]

Agh

[Maia]

Crap

[Marc]

C'mon Murray hold serveee

[Marc]

Argh

[Locke.]

Murray's faces are so annoying

[Marc]

Oh my..

[Black Dagger]

COME ON, PLZ. s0b

[Marc]

Yess.. replay the point

[Locke.]

It's all kicking off

[Marc]

[Marc]

The call didn't affect his shot, calm down Castle

[Locke.]

A great umpire

[Black Dagger]

Getting right in the camera then :joker:

[Black Dagger]

Yes, come on Murray, break now :amazed:

[Maia]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

If he breaks oh my god

[Maia]

I can't breathe

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Black Dagger]

No, don't let him get it Muzza.

[Locke.]

[Black Dagger]

Oh bloody hell Murray, you are making me look a right mess in college.

[Maia]

Yeah gonna be 5 sets

Obviously, Federer >

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Black Dagger]

Bollocks.

I don't want a tie-break :sad:

[Locke.]

[Maia]

I don't think Andy'll make it out of a tiebreak

[Maia]

God sake!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

This crowd is amazing

[Black Dagger]

What is he ****ing playing at?

[Maia]

Christ

All he had to do was hold his serve :bored:

[Maia]

God sake Andy

[MeMyselfAndI]

:elephant:

[Black Dagger]

ffs :bored:

[Maia]

Easy for you MM&I you don't have 5 points riding on this :(

[Locke.]

Federer levels it at 2 sets all :worship:

Need to go out at 1 for about half an hour, so if you could finish him quickly now Fed that'd be great

[Maia]

Going to shove my head in a pillow

[Black Dagger]

Do not want.

Hopefully Andy sorts his ****ing self out for this last set.

[Maia]

No one put Murray in 5......would've been an easy lead. god :'(

[IheartBB]

So I'll be getting either 5 points or 0 points. Come on Muzzah!!

[IheartBB]

No one put Murray in 5......would've been an easy lead. god :'(

:wavey:

[Maia]

Oh Iheartbb you sneaky devil

[IheartBB]

:devil:

But I'm not convinced with Murray at the minute. I'd have rather lost the three points and see Murray win it in 4 :bawling:

[Locke.]

Me and BigSister looking at 5 points if Fed wins this set

[Maia]

Fed better not bloody win or I'm pretty much out of the predictions game

[Black Dagger]

Plz break Andy, I will be more confident if you do s0b.

[Black Dagger]

Yes, he's broken!

Right, hold serve now

[Maia]

He broke!!!! :D

[MeMyselfAndI]

Oh No /:

[Locke.]

Oh for god sake

[Black Dagger]

3-0 yes.

Don't fancy breaking again, Andy?

[Maia]

Regretting not putting him in 5

[Black Dagger]

'Is it a fruit' :joker:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I should sign up to these Wimbledon sweepstakes

[Maia]

They are the most frustrating thing ever just warning you in advance

[Locke.]

They have ruined my life avoid them at all costs

[Maia]

Beating Locke is always worth it though

[MeMyselfAndI]

Federe :elephant:

[Black Dagger]

Urgh.

Hopefully he'll hold serve now, I'll be worried otherwise.

[Locke.]

Beating Locke is always worth it though

How dare you http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/customavatars/avatar15014_57.gif

[Maia]

How dare you http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/customavatars/avatar15014_57.gif

[Locke.]

A good match, especially the fourth set. Novak now has an easy task ahead

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m71pc23AP21qb65wio3_250.gif

[Maia]

But yes GO ON MURRAY!!!! :amazed:

[Maia]

Can't wait for Murray to destroy Djoko in the final

[Locke.]

[Black Dagger]

Can't wait for Li Na and Murray to be crowned Aus Open 2013 champions :pipe:

[Maia]

Those bloody gifs :joker:

[Maia]

Vika and Murray hopefully, perfect

[Legend killer]

Really enjoyed that match. Don't even need to praise Roger him pushing a prime young gun 32 years old speaks volumes. As for Andy he has zero chance vs Novak will be put away in 3

[Locke.]

Correct as always LK

[Legend killer]

Really enjoyed that match. Don't even need to praise Roger him pushing a prime young gun 32 years old speaks volumes. As for Andy he has zero chance vs Novak will be put away in 3 without that marathon vs Jo i still believe Roger would have won that

[Maia]

Sunday at 8, the big one

[Maia]

Just seen that they showed the match on BBC One, f/

[Black Dagger]

Just seen that they showed the match on BBC One, f/

Yeah, I was able to watch it at college :lovedup:

Wouldn't have been able to do so if it was on Eurosport, because I'd have had to go on 1strowsports and that would have got my computer blocked and I need it this afternoon for lesson :tongue:

[Novo]

Sue Barker actually had the cheek to say " Vicky Azarenka " is this Jobber for real?

[Black Dagger]

Sue Barker > that cheating grunter tyvm.

[Novo]

Vika has already been in more Finals then Barker had, she's not even fit to mention her name

[Novo]

https://twitpic.com/show/iphone/bxwxnr

[Brother Leon]

Terrible couple finals. Good ol' Djok going to carry the weekend.

[Novo]

Best Finals you can ask for really

Li Na and Vika should have some Amazing rallies now that Li Na is more patient and Djokovic and Murray speaks for it's self

[Brother Leon]

Long rallies in a women's final..can't wait for all of Vika's grunting :joker:

[Novo]

Clearly didn't see some of the Rallies Vika and Serena had in the US Open final then... who cares about the grunting.. just watch it for the pure amazing tennis that they both play instead of being a Jobber

[Marc]

Good ole Murray

[Brother Leon]

Will watch Djok. Vika is one of the most boring successfull women in Tennis for a while.

[Novo]

Don't talk ****.. actually watch the sport before you comment

Much more enjoyable to watch then Sharapova and was in a lot more better matches her in 2012..

V Kerber in Istanbul ( Probably the best WTA match of the year last year )
V Stosur at the US Open Quarer Finals
V Serena in the US Open Final
V Cibulkova in Miami
v Barthel in Stuttgart


The only decent match Sharapova was involved in was with Vika in the US Open Semi Finals... says it all really

[Marc]

Brother Leon :joker:.. you

[Novo]

This is the same who bases his football opinions from Football Manager i suppose so...

[Marc]

I reckon Li's gonna do it in two personally.

[Brother Leon]

[Novo]

give him a warning please Mar for openly admitting baiting :idc:

[Brother Leon]

Just getting you back for all your attempts in the footy thread. This is how you succeed though ;)

[Marc]

:idc: Stop now...

[Novo]

Yes, let the big boys talk about Tennis, no place for small talk here. only education and intelligence :idc:

[Marc]

Oh a side note, I'm glad IheartBB is above Drew now in the Men's prediction :laugh: I don't want him winning both lol

What a lovely girl, she can move up into my Top 5 now

[Marc]

TK and NK...?

[Marc]

Oh the boys final?

[Novo]

Time to try and suck up to Sveta

[MTVN]

Didn't really answer the question though did she

[Novo]

Well i've just asked her about the Womens final and i'm sure she will reply very shortly

[MTVN]

That's really what you meant with the first question isn't it

[Novo]

Yes

[Novo]

I've moved onto Monica now

[Novo]

just imagine if she replied " none off your ****ing business mate! "

[Novo]

https://twitter.com/ankatati

500+ followers, this one is a job for Locke

[Locke.]

Shut up Andy

[Novo]

thought i got a reply from Monica but it was just a random Vika fan

[Marc]

We're hours away from Li Na's first Australian Open :)

[IheartBB]

What a great champion she'll be :worship:

I wonder how many viewers the final will get in China. I remember her first Aussie final got 50 odd million and then her French Open triumph got over 100.

[Marc]

It'll be epic
