That is a steal

Bouchard is steamrolling through this match

 

[bksballer89]

I jinxed Bouchard.

When I made my comment she was up 6-1 3-0.

Begu managed to comeback and now the 2nd set is tied at 5

 

[bksballer89]

Somehow Bouchard dropped the 2nd set.

This now delays the Rafa match. I was hoping the match would start around 11 PM EST and now unless Sharapova runs through her opponent, we are looking at a 12 AM EST start

really want these headcase wta matches to just hurry up and get over with. i like bouchard fine, but she's a bit overhyped to me.

i'm actually disappointed with the daytime matches on laver today. 2 wta nerve-fests, and then a nadal beatdown match.

wish they would've put the dimitrov/murray match on during the daytime instead.

This now delays the Rafa match.

that'll be a beatdown, so you're not missing anything.

Cheatapova starting her sex shriek before the opponent's shot has even crossed the net. Dear lord.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm not watching.

Waiting for the 2 mens match especially Tomic vs Birdman

can't wait for some good tennis

at least an hour away....tick tock tick tock

 

[cezero]

Tomic/Berdych should be fun.

Berdych has the ability to blow anybody off the court if he's really on, but that's not very often.

Tomic can drive Berdych out of his mind by throwing a bunch of slop at him. Look for Berdych to never give Berdych a pattern and never to hit the same type of shot more than twice in a row.

Schedule for Laver for tomorrow was just announced.

Laver Day Session

Cibulkova V Azarenka
Serena V Muguruza
Ferrer V Nishikri

Laver Night session

Venus V Radwanska
Novak V Muller

I wish Novak was the first match on Laver tomorrow night so I would be able to see Venus V Radwanska when I wake up for work....bummed out that I'll miss that match

 

[cezero]

radwanska will slice and dice venus to death

10 minutes to tomic/berdych

 

[bksballer89]

Rafa should be on in 15-20 minutes at most.

Sharapova just finished off her match

 

[cezero]

it'll be fun to flip back and forth between the matches

rafa should destroy anderson who's old and slow.

berdych/tomic should be fun, as i said. lots of slop that could drive berdych batty.

 

[cezero]

berdych firing on all cylinders

not giving tomic a chance to breathe and start throwing all of his slop out on the court

if berdych continues to dictate and end points so fast, it'll be a short day for bernie

Watching Rafa on ESPN2 and watching Tomic on the laptop

 

[bksballer89]

Rafa match currently is better than Tomic.

Easy 1st set for Birdman.

Anderson has been in on all of Nadal's service games so far even though we have not yet had a break of serve

 

[cezero]

Rafa match currently is better than Tomic.

hardly. i've seen this rafa match a hundred times.

anderson serving aces all over the place and is running about as much as he possibly can. he won't be able to keep doing either up for long at the same. boring.

it's been good seeing tomic figure out how to deal with the berdych power off the ground. chess match going on.

 

[bksballer89]

Triple break point for Andersen

 

[bksballer89]

All 3 break points saved.....Anderson did not stand a chance in any of those 3 points
