The Old Tennis Thread

[Jords]

What an effort by Kouznetsova! I really thought she won the match. I guess Serena is just fitter! But power for power, it was even. Great match!

Second and third set really got exciting, I thought Serena was gonna thrash Svet after the first set win 6-1. Great match as you said :D

[Marc]

So glad she took a set and made her panic :love:

[Wildcat!]

It was really great. Serena was in danger of losing. She showed great recovery in the 3rd set, after going down 2-0. Thats why I like the french open. Grinders can thrive here!

[Marc]

Let's see if the other tennis legend can do the same

[Wildcat!]

Has to be Federer! He is the only other legend, I can come up with. :)

[Marc]

Ferrer killing it :worship:

[Jords]

Tsonga :worship:

[MTVN]

What are you playing at Maria

[MTVN]

Better

[Marc]

Oh come on Jelena

[MTVN]

Does Jankovic ever shut up

[MTVN]

Yes!!!!

[Jords]

What time are the matches tomorrow and are they played at the same time?

[Novo]

Vika :worship:

please destroy Maria tomorrow

[Marc]

Nope

[Novo]

Why not?

[MTVN]

G'wan Maria

[Alf]

This could be over in no time, Azarenka looks no match for Maria

[Drew.]

theres still enough time for the come back

[Novo]

This rain break has destroyed Vika's chances, i don't believe this.

[Brother Leon]

A little over an hour and it's deciding set time...**** is way too quick :joker: :(

[Brother Leon]

Vital game this. Maria serving like ****e.

[Brother Leon]

YES MARIA!

[Marc]

Andy surely you didn't expect her to win today

[Novo]

i still have faith

[Marc]

I hope she can play tennis

[Jords]

Maria is deafening me

[Novo]

it's all over

[Novo]

WAIT!!!!!!

[Marc]

Why wasn't Serena on before these

[Jords]

How frustrating

[Jords]

Double fault!

[Novo]

All these match points

[Jords]

Vika this is your chance.

[Alf]

Sharapova's doing her best to lose it

[Marc]

ROFL I'd love Maria to lose

[Alf]

Ave Maria

[MTVN]

Wahey!

[Novo]

Can't believe the Rain has beat Vika

[Brother Leon]

Maria :worship:


See ya Vika.

[Novo]

Proud of Vika going to new heights on clay, If Serena destroys Maria in the final then it will still be a success since Vika will have gained points and Maria will have lost some

[Alf]

This should be a walk in the park for Serena

[Alf]

Yep
I was right

[Jords]

Errani got destroyed :(

[Wildcat!]

Damn!!!! Serena was not playin' around! That was brutal.
Maria, and Victoria, well, they screaamed, and grunted a lot!! Who won again??!!

[Brother Leon]

So...Maria V Serena. My ideal final. Happy either way.

[Marc]

Errani :joker:

[Wildcat!]

I loved, how she celebrated, when she scored! Bless her. :)

[Marc]

Nadal first set 6-4.. just one break of serve.

[Wildcat!]

Damn it! Cmon Novak!

[Jords]

Nole's evened things dont worry 4-6 6-3

[Wildcat!]

Good to see the reaction. we'll get 4 sets at the least. :)

[Marc]

Oh a break

[Marc]

2-0 ooo

[Marc]

Usain Bolt is presenting the men's trophy on Sunday!

[Brother Leon]

Finish this fool,Rafa!

[Black Dagger]

Usain Bolt is presenting the men's trophy on Sunday!

I am presenting the women's! xo

[Jords]

oh Novak ya played ****

[Jords]

Wait.

[Jordan.]

5th set please, I want those pts.

[Jords]

Me too lol

Well actually I want 5 points or a Djo win

[Wildcat!]

CMON NOLE!!!! 2 sets all! :)

Great match!

[Jords]

CMON NOLE!!!! 2 sets all! :)

Great match!

:worship:

Such a tense game!!

[Alf]

You have to favour Novak now, Nadal has blown his chances

[Brother Leon]

**** sake.

[Jords]

Hes broken Nadal for the first point!

[Marc]

Ohh a slight chance

[MTVN]

Stupid Novak

[Jords]

**** sake

[Marc]

cheeky.

[Wildcat!]

Unbelievable match this. Nadal just broke! 4-4 in the 5th!

[Marc]

Stupid Novak

Stupid decision, the ball had gone in, was way out of play, Nadal was no where near the ball. I remember a similar point during Ivanovic/Dechy at Wimbledon 2008 where Dechy ran up to a ball and hit a winner, Ivanovic was no where near the ball and Dechy's hat came off and they had to re-play the point

[Brother Leon]

What a semi :worship:


Making up for the meh ones yesterday.

[Wildcat!]

Really entertaining. Awesome match!

[Brother Leon]

Amaing final for Men and Women for me :)

[Marc]

Gutting. Novak just had 1 bad game and it cost him a place in the final

[MTVN]

Boo

[Alf]

C'mon Tsonga

[arista]

12 - 10 Djokovic


He wanted water on the sand.

But he made errors in that heat

[Black Dagger]

Will be if Tsonga goes through...

And Tsonga winning the FO :love:

It's clearly Nadal's tho.

[Jords]

Boo

.

Tsonga to beat Ferrer and take it now

[arista]

Nadal will Win on the Final


Look how he won just now

[Wildcat!]

Unbelievable match from both!! Gutted for Nole. Playing Nadal on clay, gotta be the ultimate challenge. Well done! Congrats Nadal fans. )

[Alf]

At least you got the score correct Jords and I think you got a ten point lead

[arista]

Yes the Hot day as well
effected it all.

[Wildcat!]

.

Tsonga to beat Ferrer and take it now

I concur! :)

[Marc]

Great win, I'd love to see an 8th time RG champion be made this year

[arista]

Gutting. Novak just had 1 bad game and it cost him a place in the final



Yes one error
Turns the whole game Around

[Brother Leon]

Make History now Rafa.

[Jords]

At least you got the score correct Jords and I think you got a ten point lead

Overall prediction is gonna bite me in the ass though :laugh:

I said Novak

[bbfan1991]

Yes Rafa:):D. I went out and missed the majority of the match, but glad that he won!

[Marc]

Well then

[Marc]

Tsonga is going to have to play down the lines if he's win this

[Black Dagger]

ffa Jo, you jobber.

[Marc]

Jo Willy

[BigSister]

I love both rafa and djoko but for my prediction glad rafa won

[Wildcat!]

Tsonga, going out like a biyatch, as always!! :(

[Alf]

Cracking display by Ferrer, will Nadal have enough left in the tank after that epic today?

Ferrer is gonna be no push over

[Marc]

Seriously torn between wanting to see history made or wanting Ferrer to win a very very very long overdued Grand Slam

[Jords]

So disappointed on what Tsonga had to offer..

[MTVN]

Maria :'(

[Novo]

SERENA!!!!

[Novo]

Vika will be enjoying this

[Black Dagger]

Could I be closing in on winning the prediction game :worship:

[MTVN]

Come back is on, this will be just like when everyone was writing her off after the first set against Jankovic and the second against Azarenka and she still managed to pull it out the bag

[MTVN]

Might not be like that actually

[MTVN]

Well this is just terrible

[Wildcat!]

Well done, Serena! Its about time winning another Rolland Garros! Maria played her heart out, like she always does. What a fighter. Definitely the top of the next generation.

[Wildcat!]

[Novo]

third best of the next generation after Vika and Aga

[Locke.]

Lisicki always beats Sharapova in the important matches, so if she is the best of the generation then I have nothing to worry about after Serena and her intimidating ways stop putting Sabine off after she retires

[Wildcat!]

Fair enough Lisicki, Radwanska and especially Azarenka, are some of the best girls out there. But I dont think htey have Sharapova's work ethic, or fighting spirit! I think she is gonna win a lot of majors, before 30. Seems age and experience, are very important nowadays! Because stay fit a lot older, and they are more serious.
Serena, she might be around for 1 or 2 years, but someone else needs to step up! I think Maria will be the next aging girl as number 1

[Brother Leon]

Flare-Person>>>Egg Lady?

[bbfan1991]

Yay well done Rafa! Winning his eighth Tennis grand slam too is a fantastic achievement:).

[Jords]

Wimbledon next :amazed:

[Brother Leon]

The Clay King.

[Black Dagger]

Wimbledon next :amazed:

My Andy's back :lovedup:

[Drew.]

what is Bolt doing there? what a great surprise

[Shaun]

blegh

hate seeing Nadal win. such a smug git.

[Novo]

He'll probably overtake Federer

[Black Dagger]

They are replaying Monfils weep.

Loved his story, would have liked him to go further, nvm <3.

[Jords]

blegh

hate seeing Nadal win. such a smug git.

I agree.

[Novo]

Gasquet and Stan, probably my favourite match of the tournament

[Marc]

Wimbledon :love:

[Marc]

Bye bye old thread :love:
