Wimbledon Day 8

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:15 am

First topic message reminder :

Tennis fans what a treat for the day.

Murray v Gasquet
Nadal v Del Potro
Federer v Youzhny
Djokovic v Llodra

Where is the banana skin?? I think Llodra could upset 2011's Iron Man Novak Djokovic given that he has been serving well all championship and has a solid net game.

Also the side dish of today's play is
Kubot v Lopez
Fish v Berdych
Ferrer v Tsonga
Malisse v Tomic

Hmmm. Double standards, anyone?

No, I said I was supporting Tsonga in that particular match.

Hmmm. Stick to boxing UC. Wimbledon has been on for a week and yet here you are trying to lecture posters?

Really? In that match? So tell me UC, what is good about Gasquet's game as you have so much knowledge to disperse?

I know it has been on for a week, what is the relevance?

I'm not lecturing anyone, you seem very defensive and cliquey on this forum, it is not a place for sensible discussion.

I will leave you to it.

Sensible? How rich.

It is a tennis forum sir, so please post something about tennis!

well done murry nadel will defeat you on friday.

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:19 pm

Gasquet would probably feel he had a chance in that first set.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:19 pm

Ah Union does a runner as Andy Murray wraps up a highly impressive 7-6 6-3 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet. No congratulations Union? How unsporting of you.

by dummy_half Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:19 pm

Well, Andy wins through 6-2 in the third.

Slight wobble with pulling a drive volley wide to make it 30-40, then unlucky on the first MP when Gasquet gets a dead netcord, but Andy sees it through in the end, finishing it off with an ace.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:20 pm

that was a very very very good performance from Andy, and from the moment he won the first set he was always in control. Nice symmetry about the fact that he saved a break point in his opening and closing serving games and none in between.

by Josiah Maiestas Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:21 pm

LK,

The bias from you is laughable!

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:22 pm

It was a fine display by Andy. Bit of a wobble in the first 10 ten games of the match, but he certainly upped it in the 2nd and 3rd set. The draw is nicely poised for him now.

by pauline1981 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:22 pm

andy you only beat a lightweight.rafa is the real deal

And the dislike from you for Murray is an embarrassment. Shame your not the first or last!! laughing

I am a Murray fan. Least I actually credit other players as well as criticise.

You could learn something.

pauline pm for you

by Josiah Maiestas Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:29 pm

So what if I dislike some of his antics?

Who doesn't?

Does it effect you?

You seem quite emotional, mate.

by Josiah Maiestas Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:30 pm

I didn't know this was the Murray forum, thought it was tennis.

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:30 pm

Emotional far from it.

Sportsmanship applies to ALL sportsman and not just one individual.

Bear that in mind.

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:31 pm

Djokovic holds to love there. I wonder if Llodra can serve anywhere near the 80's he reached in his match with Ward.

by legendkillar Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:33 pm

2 DF's there by Llodra. Not a good start. 3 BP's for Djokovic. 3 DF's!! Oh dear

Don't worry LK

I also dislike the antics of:

Djokovic smashing his racquet
Sharapova with her screeching and
Monfils trying to play 50 shot rally every match!

pauline, don't be silly. Please read the pm.

Llodra holds to love. Couldn't see that coming after his opening service game.

by CaledonianCraig Mon 27 Jun 2011, 3:39 pm

I can only see a straight sets win here for Novak Djokovic.

shame serena lost, would have been great for her to make the most remarkable of come backs.

As for Venus.. can't wait for her to lose asap, so we see the last of that swan outfit and finally can put the sound back on.

emancipator - shooting from the hip

by monty junior Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:03 pm

Murray was awesome today. Especially the last set and a half, he gets comfortable and just makes his opponents look foolish with continued brilliance. Much better than the first week. Gasquet is a mental midget, supporting him is pointless, complete waste of talent.

On a side note cmon Caroline heart

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:06 pm

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah baby, finish off the swan.

First set to pironkova

Smile

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:08 pm

Lopez wins a topsy turvy tie-break 9-7 after saving two match points, and there's a glimmer of hope for the Spaniard now. How will Kubot respond?

by CaledonianCraig Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:09 pm

Lopez right back in that match now as he looks really pumped now.

by Chazfazzer Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:13 pm

Some of the rallies in the Djokovic Llodra match are insane at the moment!

by Guest Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:19 pm

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallelujaaaaaaaaaah,

break for Pironk

by Josiah Maiestas Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:26 pm

Another 1 of my dislikes!

Venus and her half-hearted effort after Serena is eliminated!

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:27 pm

eugh, Llodra misses two easy volleys to slip to BP down, and though he works himself to advantage, he then DFs twice and misses another relatively simple volley, and Djokovic is well on his way to an easy win here

by Tenez Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:33 pm

With a bit more composure, Llodra coudl have a serious chance. He just gets carried away a bit too much. Great talent again.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:51 pm

so we lose both Williams sisters in the space of a couple of hours!

by dummy_half Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:54 pm

MfC

And the #1 seed - women's tennis is totally screwy at the moment, with only Sharapova out of the established stars managing to perform to a good level. Must be her tournament to lose now.

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 4:56 pm

yeah I know dummy_half, women's tennis seems to have gone crazy, have no idea who's going to win anything anymore, though you're right, you have to fancy Sharapova from here...

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:05 pm

Lopez and Kubot into a decider

by Mad for Chelsea Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:11 pm

Djokovic through in three, easy enough for him. Llodra didn't serve or return well enough to really put him under any pressure. Rafa-time

by eirebilly Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:16 pm

Afternoon all, got in late. I cant help be so happy to read the headlins that Serena and Venus Williams have been knocked out.
Both incredibly talented players but they have really gotton under my skin this tournement.

No negative comments please eirebilly, they are not allowed.

by eirebilly Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:23 pm

How is that a negative comment Union Crane? Its an opinion.

by **Union Cane** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:26 pm

Cane, sir, its Cane.

You are displaying a degree of schadenfreude, rather than celebrating the performance of the victors.

by eirebilly Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:28 pm

Sorry that i spelled your name wrong but i thought this was a forum to leave opinions. That is my opinion.
If you think that my comment is out of order than please contact a Mod.

by **Union Cane** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:30 pm

I couldn't agree more mate, I was merely applying the rules that had been applied to me earlier.

Hoe gaat het?

by eirebilly Mon 27 Jun 2011, 5:34 pm

I am not sure what rules were applied and why you need to apply them. Was just a harmless comment.

Alles heir is goed met jou dan? lekker weer he
