Just tuned in to NBC and McEnroe is complaining about Nadal's seeding. Dude just stop

I missed this, what's that all about? You can keep it short, I don't want to derail the thread.

 

[Pacbois]

Is that a real advert? Why did they make him white?

Jo is always dying for a Kinder Bueno

 

[Smellycat]

I missed this, what's that all about? You can keep it short, I don't want to derail the thread.

I tuned in towards the end of the rant, but he basically complained about it and then explained how it affected the draw.

 

[Oare]

Come on Jo, chill out, have a Kinder.

Oh, so that's what he's choking on?

 

[Niraj]

I have a feeling he wouldn't have complained if he ended up in Murray or Berdych's sections.

 

[szaromir]

What an awful choke by Tsonga. You rarely see someone tightening up so visibly.

 

[tycoonheart]

Good god Tsonga get your shit together.

 

[Pacbois]

This is getting too embarrassing to watch.

 

[Kensuke]

Tsonga lost his patience and is now making a ton of errors. Almost behind a double break. It would be terrible is he somehow lost this match.

 

[Niraj]

Even if he loses, it still won't be as depressing as 2012.

Meanwhile, Stan is crushing Simon.

 

[Omzz]

get that break tsonga

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I leave at 5*-4, come back, find Tsonga is in a 4th set.

smh

 

[szaromir]

Even if he loses, it still won't be as depressing as 2012.

Djokovic played like a possessed man on those match points, then it started raining so the conditions suited Djokovic and his pushing style more than they did Jo-Willy.

Heh, Tsonga still might win it in 4. But that extra set played means we won't see (the conclusion of) Monfils-Federer today.

 

[Omzz]

wtf berdych

 

[Kensuke]

Berdych gifting the match all of a sudden.

 

[orioto]

I leave at 5*-4, come back, find Tsonga is in a 4th set.

smh

Kinder surprise

 

[FortuneFaded]

It's a competition to see which one is weaker mentally.

 

[Pacbois]

So Tsonga did have a Kinder and now he's winning.

DAMMIT ORIOTO

 

[Deleted member 231381]

fuck me that forehand

ungh

Still depressing

And yeah Berdych totally collapsed.

 

[Pacbois]

Dat service game.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Tsonga and Monfils are such gentlemen. Winning two sets and up a break? Crowd clearly hasn't had enough entertainment, generously tank a set to give them more satisfaction.

Also, Simon is losing to Wawrinka so Monfils will lose to Federer. It is known.

 

[Smellycat]

Federer/Monfils have less then 2 hours of playtime.

 

[Kensuke]

The moist and slow court obviously favors Monfils. There is no way Federer will underestimate him after the last few losses though. Should be interesting.

Also, Nishikori clinches No. 4 in the world now that Berdych lost (was already pretty much a sure thing).

 

[mcfrank]

Federer/Monfils have less then 2 hours of playtime.

Rain supposed to start again in 50 minutes or so.

 

[FTF]

Federer/Monfils have less then 2 hours of playtime.

Rain supposed to start again in 50 minutes or so.

Why even bother starting at all? Can they just postpone it till tomorrow?

Shit, I haven't noticed there's a possibility of a Monfils-Simon match. Their AO match was legendary.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

They meet disproportionately often, I'm sure. Third most disproportionate lesser-ranked matching after Kohli-Isner and the infamous Berdych-Kanderson.

 

[Pacbois]

Shit, I haven't noticed there's a possibility of a Monfils-Simon match. Their AO match was legendary.

Well I don't think there's that much of a possibility now...

 

[FortuneFaded]

Shit, I haven't noticed there's a possibility of a Monfils-Simon match. Their AO match was legendary.

He lost the first set to Stan 6-1 so unlikely.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This is Wawrinka. I'm not ruling anything out.

 

[mcfrank]

Possible they can get a set in which takes some pressure off the schedule tomorrow. They already postponed the final matches of the day on every court until tomorrow, so it will be a packed day.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Apparently there were some boos when Monfils came out and big cheers for Federer. If you can't support your local players, then you don't deserve a French winner.

Hmm maybe the boos were coming from a few Swiss supporters ? Monfils is super popular, there's no reason for booing him.

 

[Kensuke]

Federer is just that popular.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This the French Open, I'm not actually sure how much of the audience is French; it has a strong international draw. Certainly, it'll have a large enough clan of Federer fanatics to boo Monfils.

 

[Omzz]

great camera work

 

[Niraj]

Nice, early break.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Okay we lost

 

[Kensuke]

Federer on point. Strong start.

 

[tycoonheart]

Monfils getting completely outclassed

 

[FortuneFaded]

Federer trying to beat the weather and win the entire match today.

 

[Ricker]

Still early but they may not even need 2 hours lol...

 

[mcfrank]

On pace for a 14 minute set.

 

[greenleaves]

Roger bringing his game against Monfils. His serve and forehand are really good so far.

 

[Niraj]

Meanwhile, Stan grabs the second set.

 

[Sax Russel]

Fed's just gonna get up 2 sets, then they'll have to stop play and Monfils will win the next 3 tomorrow, duh.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Monfils must have plans for tomorrow

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Just think how good a player Monfils would be if he didn't stand 2 metres behind the base-line every single stroke.

 

[Niraj]

Fed's just gonna get up 2 sets, then they'll have to stop play and Monfils will win the next 3 tomorrow, duh.

Part of him probably wants that to happen as payback lol
