I shot people I like more for less.
When Verdasco played Cuevas they wore the exact same outfit. It was really hard to tell them apart.

lol. I was watching on mute and couldn't tell who was who until they did a closeup.

Verdasco really blowing this game.
 
Murray takes the second set. 2 - 0. I can see Verdasco winning the third by a tight margin or capitulating to make a easy set for Murray.
 
Seeing how some of these players in the juniors French Open tournament were born in 1999 makes me feel ancient. Next year some of the juniors will be Y2K babies. The #1 ranked junior girl is Belinda Bencic, but right on her heels is #2 Cc. Bellis, and she was born in 1999

Kuzy is gonna win this tournament.

Surprised she's outhitting Safarova tbh, thought the latter looked very promising this RG. Slam every five years?

Ok, the women's QFs are pretty much all v interesting

Garbine Muguruza (ESP) Maria Sharapova (RUS) [7]
Carla Suarez Navarro (ESP) [14] Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) [18]
Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) [27] Simona Halep (ROU) [4]
Sara Errani (ITA) [10] Andrea Petkovic (GER) [28]

For scores I use livescore.
For Grand Slams, they have their own apps. Just search the name.
And for games, well no good games tbh lol.

I use ATP/WTA Live. Seems to cover everything but the grand slams which have their own dedicated apps.

Is a bit basic looking and can only be displayed in portrait orientation(!) but does the job and updates on point.

Thank you very much :)

Verdasco lost? Well, I shouldn't be surprised.

1. He's Verdasco
2. The H2H is 9-1, Murray.

Even though they've never played on clay, I guess this is where #1 explains that.
 

John Dunbar

correct about everything
everybody knows the final is going to be nadal-djokovic, but who are everyone's favourites of the players still left in the draw?

my list:

1. ferrer (dude deserves to win something at this point)
2. monfils/gulbis (if wawrinka winning didn't give rest of the tour some confidence, one of these clowns winning should do the trick)
3. murray (clayray winning roland garros would be ridiculously hilarous)
4. berdych (meh)
5. raonic (meh x2)
6. djokovic (him winning would devalue the career slam)
7. nadal (i actually like him, but come on dude, enough is enough)

sharapova playing like garbage with no serve whatsoever, the mug takes the first set 6-1.

but this is wta, so sharapova will win the second and third.
 
Sharapova only wins slams during even numbered years. She has to win one of the three that are left this year because she's not winning any next.

Well, she needs to show it

Disappointing end to this match. Was hoping it'd be a little more competitive.

The Mug collapsed a bit there. I think Maria was too passive today, she's been very aggressive with angles earlier in the tournament and now she was hitting up the middle. Maybe there was some tactic there, I don't know, but I almost lost hope.

Btw I like Bartoli better than ever now as a commentator

"Don't ask me what Garbine has to do right now because I never found the solution to beat this amazing woman"

Good fun, love seeing Suarez Navarro this deep in a slam no matter the outcome.

There we go, game set match. Second slam semi in a row is great, even if I don't think Bouchard is quite among the best yet.

Sharapova vs Bouchard. My two faves. Either one can win and I'll be happy but pulling for Sharapova to win another Grand Slam.

Maria will loose playing like today. Start finding the angles and depth and she'll win. Choice is hers really, don't fuck it up like today.
