Madrid Open - Men & Women

[Fiero425]

Well it's getting to the nitty gritty in the 2nd round of Madrid! It's a tough draw and they've already lost their top seed; Roger Federer! He went down in 3 sets to Aussie phenom Nick Kyrgios; all tie-breakers! It was a good match, but not what I'd call "lights out" tennis; more 1st strike with fast conditions! Took just 2 1/2 hours! Discuss! Serena barely survived 5 MP's against her playing Azarenka in the 3rd round! It also ended in a 3rd set TB! Everyone has to look out in this tourney!

Wow, just saw that Krygios beat FED.

Then Isner beat Krygios!

Hey bksballer89, I've been wondering for a while whether you watch the playoffs when the Heat aren't in it.

Your new avatar tells me you do!

I wish the Heat had made it over the Celtics, I wanted to see Whiteside and Dragic in the playoffs.

Didn't realize how close the French Open is.

Now it really make sense why Novak skipped this tournament with another big tuneup tourney in Rome approaching

Like he needs more confidence after winning the top 4 tourneys of the season already? (3 Masters & 1 Major; AO, IW, Miami, & MC) Nole has a chance to make 2011 more a footnote to his career than the highlight with 3 majors and 4 Masters, beating Rafa Nadal in final after final; totally 7 in a row with Aussie Open in 2012! Looking forward to Rome and the FO; I think he's going to do it!

Those tiebreakers were rough for Isner.

Nadal to face Murray in the Finals.

It's good that Murray keeps getting to the big stage. Now to see what he can do this time. Usually he loses.

Kvitova beat Kuznetova in a blowout in the Womens Final.

First set to Murray

Wow rafa now down a double break in the 2nd set

Wow rafa now down a double break in the 2nd set

Andy is taking Rafa to the woodshed. Unbelievable. 6-3, 5-2. It is all but over.

 

[bksballer89]

Embarrassing

Onto Rome! The draw there is about as tough as Madrid! Nole has Kei and Andy in his half of the draw! Rafa has his usual pigeons including Roger and Berdych! Nadal has to win Rome after being runner-up at Madrid! He's likely to drop out of the top 7 in the WORLD unless he goes deep into the draw IMO:

Murray broke Nadal 3x and won in straight sets. Considering the surface, it's Murray's best win over Nadal in his career. Still, I think Murray could play better, I only give him a B++.

Murray now has his first 2 clay titles of his career in back to back weeks, in Germany and Madrid. The Madrid one is a big one.

You're serious? Petra Kvitova of course! She won in straight sets over Svetlana Kuznetzova:
