lol

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

wow amazing OP.

 

[Ricker]

Belle tentative lol ,can we use the Tennis discussion thread j/k

If the rain stops,go Raonic.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This p0st dedicated to T0mas Berdych.

 

[Roc]

No Rog? Well, damn. I guess I second the Berdych motion (lol).

 

[perfectchaos007]

Jack Sock may benefit from getting his match postponed. He was on his way out

 

[szaromir]

Great picture in the OP, but Bagelie Momo no longer coaches Clayray.

Clayray for the win.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I do so hope Clayray wins. In fact, more specifically, I hope that Nadal goes out early, Djokovic has a fluke loss to Berdych or something, and Murray beats Ferrer or whoever in the final. The meltdowns would be blissful.

 

[oti]

Subscribed harder than the French capability in keeping up with the other Grand Slams.

 

[Uzzy]

I too hope that Clayray wins, and that Lisicki gets to the 2nd round. That'll make me happy.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The ONE thing I like about the French Open more than the other slams is that they span the tournament across 3 Sunday's and 15 days total. Wimbledon, by comparison, only has 1 Sunday of play and only 13 days of play. Spanning the 1st round over the course of 3 days instead of two is a good thing. Everything rlse about the French open is garbage and outdated

 

[Deadman]

I hope it rains for 15 days and they just play wimbledon twice. Fed to win both.

Or just give Fed the choice of surface in Rio. He has earned it

 

[Hootie]

Fed nooOOOOooOO!

Spoiler

never had to say it this early...

 

[Bigfoot]

Going to be hard to make myself watch a slam without Fed in it, but I knew this day would come. I'm surprised it took this long.

So go Clayray I guess!

 

[Frankfurter]

What's up with all the hate of the French Open? It's clearly the best Grand Slam, because it's the only clay one.

 

[John Dunbar]

only thing that can keep clayray from winning this tournament is if he tires himself out writing columns.

Dustin Brown is our saviour.

Yes, but no lights and not a single roof is ridiculous. (Just give us the French already, German Open here we go!)

 

[perfectchaos007]

Clay is a terrible surface. It's hard to see where the lines are on TV after the first game because the clay starts to cover the lines. It's a messy surface. Hard court, and grass are much superior surfaces.

 

[Diprosalic]

i hate playing on sand.
also french crowd is the worst.

 

[Niraj]

Blue clay was ahead of its time. RIP.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Blue clay was ahead of its time. RIP.

lol didn't some sore loser threaten to never come back until they switched it back to red clay?

 

[Faddy]

Blue clay was ahead of its time. RIP.

Blue Clay was awful. Bring back green hard courts!

 

[Niraj]

lol didn't some sore loser threaten to never come back until they switched it back to red clay?

Mostly the two favorites in this tourney, no loss.

Blue Clay was awful. Bring back green hard courts!

You're awful!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Mostly the two favorites in this tourney, no loss.



You're awful!

Djokovic and Serena? Nah, I think Serena liked the blue clay tournament since she won that tournament iirc

 

[Niraj]

Djokovic and Serena? Nah, I think Serena liked the blue clay tournament since she won that tournament iirc

Sorry, meant the top two men's favorites.

 

[zero_suit]

Let's go Serena and Nadal

Spoiler

or Clayray

!

 

[Diamond]

Magnificient OP.
Sorry everybody, I planned to do the OT but didn't have time this weekend. Glad Dipro stepped up and made it.

I'm going to Roland Garros next monday, currently praying Cthullu for a complete change of weather. It's pouring rain here in Paris.

 

[oti]

It's past 11 let's check who's playITS RAINING AGAIN

 

[cabot]

I do so hope Clayray wins. In fact, more specifically, I hope that Nadal goes out early, Djokovic has a fluke loss to Berdych or something, and Murray beats Ferrer or whoever in the final. The meltdowns would be blissful.

You're really angling to get banned again, aren't you?




I'm hopeful some tennis will be played at some point during this tournament.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Murray got this.

 

[Mac_Lane]

The weather has been absolutely dreadful this far. I'm supposed to go watch games next Monday (4th round), I sure hope things will have gotten better by then

 

[Kotetsu534]

Quick check at the forecast suggests rain likely for much of today, but it'll clear up for most of the rest of the week and will actually be sunny on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately the rain will come back after that. Sigh.

Enjoyed Kyrgios v Cecchinato yesterday. Very high standard of play with Cecchinato defending and nailing drop shot after drop shot to force two tiebreakers. Kyrgios was clutch when it mattered and got through.

Kvitova had to fight very hard to get past Kovinic. She was in complete control up 6-2, *3-1, but collapsed to end up 4-5* down in the final set before her opponent made a terrible miss at Deuce (if she made a decent volley, she would have had match point). Was ruthless after that.

Watson v Gibbs was a grindfest in heavy conditions with Gibbs getting the better of it with extraordinary defence and anticipation. Watson missed far too many short balls and let her opponent get in her head. Still going with Gibbs up 2-1 40-30 in the final set. They're not back on first so they might get delayed into Tuesday.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Deleted. Double post. Using extremely old PC as mine has died.

 

[LuuKyK]

More like Roland Garrain. Bunch of matches already cancelled today. I wonder how many player will have to play two or three matches in a day soon.

 

[Diamond]

We are in the same boat (pun intended).

 

[darkwing]

wow was it always rainy like this in previous French Opens

 

[Diamond]

wow was it always rainy like this in previous French Opens

No, it's just a shitty month. Rainy and cold. I was in the countryside last week and it was 0° outside.

 

[Frankfurter]

Tomorrow probably won't be better.

 

[killer_clank]

wawrinka lost the first set to rosol

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Put as much effort in the OP as Roland Garros does into making a decent tournament.

Gold. Here is hoping we don't have to endure live receiver headshot streams in the service boxes ever again. Also I find myself backing Joker.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Rosol continuing his life's purpose of trolling Roland Garros winners.

 

[TheAutomator]

All aboard the Clayray train.

 

[Ricker]

Raonic's got this,Muguruza on the womens side,not so much,22 unforced errors in the first set...I blame Sumyk,he taught that to Bouchard last year

if you still want to do it i can have this closed.

Wawa with the early struggle. what else is new.

 

[Niraj]

I too hope that Clayray wins, and that Lisicki gets to the 2nd round. That'll make me happy.

Well, you have one out of two to still hope for at least

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Well, you have one out of two to still hope for at least

When has Clayray ever let his disciples down?

 

[killer_clank]

I'd quite like Rosol to get this done since I could easily see Murray losing to god mode Wawrinka somehow.
