Genie.

Always liked Wawrinka so very happy with the result.

Keep the upsets coming, your turn Dimitrov and Federer.

 

[intedomine]

Disappointing. Wanted an all Swiss men's final. Carn Stanislas in the final.

 

[LJT]

Wawrinka I believe is 0-12 against Nadal...I also believe he has never taken even a set off him. So yeah Nadal to get his 14th major and equal Sampras.

French Open is a given unless there is a "Soderling event". Then I would say he's 50/50 for Wimbledon but kinda depends how physically he is holding up.

He would be only one behind Federer by then. We shall see what happens though.

Nadal in all sorts of trouble right now. Struggling to run.

 

[youarenotimmune]

What's wrong with Nadal? Is it his back? Fatigue?

Sent from my C6602 using U2 Interference mobile app

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Surely can't be fatigue? He's been rolling through his earlier matches.

I'm guessing it's back related.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Stan has absolutely lost it.

 

[youarenotimmune]

Yea, and Nadal seems to be fine now!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Not quite, still serving noticeably slower than usual. Overall better than it was an hour ago, definitely.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Stan the Slam Man!

 

[Saracene]

Wow this final was weird. Very happy for Stan though. It's nice to see someone else win outside of the usual four players.

 

[LJT]

Well guess I'll need to eat my hat!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Stanislas

 

[cobl04]

Shit the Davis Cup is already on?? And how the fuck has Switzerland never won? Do players not give a shit?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Fed rarely plays in the DC and in past years Stan wasn't the same player as he is now. They still won the Beijing gold medal though.

 

[cobl04]

Marinko Matosevic says female tennis coach not for him

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The sad thing is that other players have said things way worse than that, see what Ernests Gulbis said a week or two ago.

 

[cobl04]

And then Sharapova fobbed him off and won a fucking French Open title.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Good for Sharapova winning the French. I was happy for her. Fierce woman.

Genie is easily my fave tennis player right now tho. Swoon.

 

[cobl04]

Matosevic just beat Verdasco in four.

Also, Stosur's out.

 

[bono_man2002]

You mean.....

AUSTRALIA DEFEATS SPAIN

at Wimbledon.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Don't know how Matosevic has any fans, bland game, not particularly bright either, and especially after those comments he made before.

Not surprised by Stosur's result, mainly because she's not that well suited to grass so it was almost half-expected that she would lose.

 

[bono_man2002]

Saville is playing and Channel 7 are still persisting with this Tomic prick.

Also Shaq was watching Murray play

 

[cobl04]

Kyrgios saved NINE match points to beat Gasquet 3-6 6-7 6-4 7-5 10-8. Amazing. Love him.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I just hope that Kyrgios doesn't turn out as awful as the likes of Tomic and Matosevic and I guess to a lesser extent these days, Hewitt. It would be nice to have an Australian player who is supportable and good.

Gasquet did get taken to 5 by Duckworth though, overall a confusing player, in the top 15 but just generally very underwhelming as a player most of the time.

 

[cobl04]

Hewy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It's sad only Australian based people post here but I guess everyone else gets put off by the Australian scrubs who nobody else cares about (bar Kyrgios of course, he's no scrub) getting talked about all the time.
