Tennis Thread 2014

Yeah, she's magnificent...

My penis is in a constant state of erection whenever I watch Ivanovic play. The noises she makes don't help either.
 
Djoko 2 sets up against Tsonga. About to go to tie breaker in 3rd. Think Tsonga will take it to 4 at least
 
I haven't caught any of Federer or Nadal but Murray and Djokovic look imperious.

Dmitrov looked good today too, should give Murray a real game up next.
 
Sorry all to derail the thread with my random stories as usual. I'm in a hospital bed in Milan having just had surgery on my right shoulder which has been giving me mysterious problems for 3 years now. In the adjacent room lies a certain Alisa Kleybanova. Many of you might not have heard of her but she is quite a remarkable young lady. She was 20 in the world 3 years ago before getting diagnosed with cancer. She has fought it off and come back to the tour, currently ranked inside the top 100 again. She has had shoulder problems recently and was operated on directly after me. I thought it would be nice to mention her after all she has been through so she has a new bunch of supporters and followers that her character deserves.

A) Hope your shoulder surgery does the trick. Nasty things to have issues with.

B) She's determined to hit the tour again? Girl's insane. I like it. Keep us updated.

I think it will. The guy is a real genius. Thanks

And yeah, she is, she told the guy she survived cancer no reason why she can't come through this. Tough cookie.
 
Lisicki having a weird game at the moment. Should be annihilating shvedova but hitting loads of double faults, not many aces either. Looking like going to a third set here.
 
Midway through the second. Kyrgios has won every single point on his first serve. Ridiculous.
 
Why is every fecker playing the game of their life against Nadal? He looks quite good does Kyrgios
 
You don't win a point on first serve for 2 sets and then you win 5 in one game. :lol:

Rafa takes the second. Big test now for Kyrgios.
 
Why does everyone choke it away after winning the first set against him more like.

Geez :lol:

It's quite impossible to maintain such a high level against a player like Nadal. None of them have choked!

He choked, but he's only young. A simple put away volley into the net with Nadal out of court set the tone in the break game. Then pushing it long the very next point. None of them have played the games of their lives, they are just servebots which is very effective on grass against Nadal.
 
Wtf are you on about. He has played 5 Wimbledon finals.

Today he hasn't dropped a single game on serve in 3 sets. But the guy at the other end is serving like a monstor. Sometimes there isn't much you can do in that situation. Nadal has been close to taking this set but Kyrigos served well on the big points.

And he has had 4 relatively early exists in Wimbledon also, this could be the possible 5th.

Fantastic performance by Kyrgios so far. Screw Argentina - Switzerland, this is the real deal.
 
It feels like he just doesn't have enough in the tank anymore after Rolang Garros these past few years. Altough he is playing much better than in his last two early exits today, but Kyrgios' serve is simply monstrous. No fear in that lad.

One of the coaches made a good point about the grass. He struggles when the grass is all shiny in the early rounds which explains his high number of early eliminations. Once he gets into the 2nd week the grass is wearing out and he get's more traction. Not much he could have done today mind, Krgios is serving like a madman.
