Tomic isn't a good enough mover to ever be a consistent slam contender.

Tomic isn't a good enough mover to ever be a consistent slam contender.

Most importantly there's 10 million in his bank account.

Shelby Rogers up 5-0 in the 3rd on Kvitova

Sock is on serve in the 5th set

 

[bksballer89]

Sock is going to lose. Got broken at 4-4 in the 5th.

Isner through to the round of 16. Solid showing for him here.

Gasquet mopped the floor with Kyrgios

Nadal's Quarter:

Kohlschreiber - Almagro 1st round: This could be a good match. I think Kohlschreiber is more well rounded, I'll take him in 4.

Tsonga - Baghdatis 3rd round: I want a good match, so I'll say Tsonga in 5.

Right result, but usually I make a comment about how Baghdatis plays a lot of long 5 set matches, especially extended ones past 6-6, and how he usually loses those.

I didn't go into the details, and set up what I though would be Baghdatis' misfortune, like I usually do.

LOL, great point, thanks for posting.

Sock had a great set point in the 4th set to send it to a 5th.

He lost in a tight 5th set.

BTW, playing on a court with more room on the sides, made it much easier to watch the balls on the end of points, today. I had an easier time watching Sock, then I did in the last round when he was on Court 14.

I think Isner is going to lose to Gabashvilli. He usually loses 1 round before I think he will, and I think Gabashvilli has a good chance of winning.

This is what I said yesterday.

Isner pulled it out in the 5th, despite being down 0-2 in the 5th too.

It was cool to see Shelby Rogers' reaction after winning, and hugging her box.

Stosur beat Sarafova in a 7-5 5th.

Nishikori beat Verdasco in 5.

Tomorrow:

Zverev - Thiem could be the most exciting match.

Venus has kept her unforced errors down a lot so far. Let's see if she can keep it up against Cornet. Nothing is a given with her at this point.

So anytime I'm off from work it decides to rain in Paris?

 

[bksballer89]

You can't make this up. The rain knocked out all the tv cameras so they can't show us anything

 

[bksballer89]

NBC can't show us tennis but tennis channel cameras are just fine. I'll stick with TC for now

NBC showing a replay of last year finals while Tennis Channel is showing live action between Tsonga and Gulbis. Please someone explain why the fuck is NBC still covering tennis? Grand Slam Tennis should only be on ESPN or Tennis Channel.

Venus through to the 2nd week. Nice run for her at this stage of her career. First appearance in the 2nd week here in 6 years.

 

[bksballer89]

Damn Tsonga had to retire from his match today. I'm now expecting a Thiem vs Novak semis

This could be huge. Milos is already starting to come around. If he can learn some tactics from Johnny Mac, he could be deadly.

Disappointed straight set defeat for Milos today. Sock lost to that same player but it took 5 sets

Stan has been so much better since surviving the first round.
