Will kei have anything.left for stan?

Little. Stan can easily take advantage of this.

 

[bksballer89]

Kei better pray that it is a night match at least. If it is a day match, Stan will make quick work of him

 

[Old Lion]

Raonic kept hitting inside out forehands to Kei's backhand which was a mistake most of the match as Kei hit the down the line by him several times.

 

[Old Lion]

Yes.

She then had the crowd sing happy birthday for Gael Monfils, who's birthday is today, but he play tomorrow.

It was absolutely dreadful. The crowd didn't sing and they booed her. Someone needs to put a suicide watch on Monfils as he may kill himself from the embarrassment. Would not be surprised if he gets booed when he plays. If he is smart he will offer an apology to the crowd to get back on their good side.

What did Gaels do?

 

[Hs0022]

Gaels is laying the hammer of the gods on Dimitrov now, up by a set and 1-2 in the second.

 

[Hs0022]

Gaels up a break and serving 3-2 to go up to 4-2. The dark force is with him today.

 

[Hs0022]

Come on Dima! Show some spirit!!

 

[Hs0022]

Is anyone watching this? This is horrible for Dimitrov. Has Gaels completely stopped his tomfoolery and gotten serious about tennis? Dim Dim has to come back from two sets down now. 5-7,6-7,1-2.

 

[Hs0022]

Gaels doesn't need the crowd at all. At work so can't watch.

Nice job by Bautista to make this set tough for Roger by winning 3 straight games after going down 5-1

 

[Hs0022]

So fed gets Monfils who benefits from a straight setter himself albeit a slightly tougher one. These two know each other but Fed has the edge with 7-2 and the last meet win on HC not long ago. Fed needs to play with a mission from the first point on or else he may get into a hole. Should he get a straight sets it will only help him in SF AND POSSIBLY FINALS.

I see Djokovic beating Murray but falling to Stan who will surely beat Kei. Fed vs Berdych is tougher to call.

 

[Hs0022]

If Fed doesn't win I don't want Djoko to win either and hope that Berdych will finally win one or Stan again.

Why all the hate against Vika? The crowd was also having fun with it. Please let it go. Monfils did not kill himself from embarrassment and went on to shellack the "younger" version of Federer who may taste Gael's new found tennis rise. Federer supporters may rather be the ones on suicide watch as Monfils pushes Federer to the limit. Gael beat Federer in Shangai although Federer beat him in Cincinnati.

Hope Penneta Shaka-Laks Serena into submission and subsequent retirement. Penneta should move her side to side and exploit Serena's heavy frame ( at least a good 180-190 lbs ). I don't understand why her opponents don't do drop shots and make her run and instead are lulled into playing the power game from the baseline. Slices and dropshots need to be used.

What a terrible day of tennis after a very good day & night of tennis yesterday. Only 1 good singles match today after 3 pretty good matches yesterday.
