Tsonga handing out bakery products like he kneads the dough.

EDIT: until he chokes, that is

 

[MIMIC]

Going forward, yes. But what he has already achieved makes for a tremendous legacy and you can't ignore that. Djokovic still has to lift some more trophies to match that legacy, that's why he's under more pressure for me.

lol, huh? I never even spoke to any of this. But yes: Nadal could retire today and would be top 5 all time in most eyes.

 

[Ricker]

Nishi waking up a bit lol...

 

[Coldnoodle]

In other news, I found out that Nadal is 87-1 in Bo5 on clay. I mean, you know he's dominant but christ, that's just ludicrous.

Dammit, France. Update your stadiums!

 

[Pacbois]

'the fuck is going on.

 

[SSPssp]

How does a light get blown down by the wind? Did anyone see what happened?

He sacrifices his career just for that moment. #GODERLING

At least the French have the players to back it. Germany's top player is a living fossil.

There's a lot of wind in Paris right now, though nothing crazy. I think those screens are quite recent right ?

10 minutes delay.

I've got a friend who's been to RG and he says the PC stadium especially acts as a giant wind funnel. A small breeze outside becomes pretty strong inside.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Stanimal engaged.

 

[Niraj]

Keeping squandering those bps, that'll work out for you

 

[MIMIC]

Stan takes the first set against Fed. Just crushing the ball.

Wawrinka has a German passport. Good enough.

 

[Pacbois]

French TV uploaded a video of what happend.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Honestly, the Stan-Fed match is better than the Kei-Tsonga one (not hard), but it isn't the highest quality match either. Federer netting a lot of balls he'd normally make, and I say that as someone who isn't a fan (you'd never guess, I know).

 

[Kensuke]

Stan is playing some ridiculous tennis, he deserved the first set.

Very disappointing performance by Nishikori. I've never seen him play that badly. Total off-day.

 

[tycoonheart]

Good god Stan's forehand has been ridiculous.

Break point.

Thanks for the links. So lucky no one got hurt too bad.

 

[Pacbois]

Haha, so now they said on the French broadcast that the incident will push the stadium renovation. Yeesh.

It's frustrating that Roger always plays so passive on BPs on the opponent's serve.

 

[Kensuke]

Play still suspended for the Nis - Tso match. Amateur hour. I wonder if it will affect the match at all. Maybe Nishikori can benefit from this break and think about how to fight himself back into the match.

They're on their way out, but they'll have a ~5 mins warmup before starting back. They're apparently re-opening the closed section of the stadium.

 

[SSPssp]

Wow, easy hold this time for Roger!

 

[Pacbois]

Aaaaannnddd Tsonga is choking...

 

[Kensuke]

Wow, Federer in real trouble now.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fed in deep trouble now. Down a set and a break

 

[sam777]

Get in Wawrinka

 

[tycoonheart]

There it is. Stan with the break.

 

[Omzz]

not looking good for fed

 

[tycoonheart]

not looking good for fed

Hasn't been able to handle Stan's groundstrokes. He is just pounding the ball.

 

[Pacbois]

not looking good for fed

He's hoping some part of the Lenglen will fall as well

 

[Deleted member 231381]

It's not necessarily that Stan's hits are powerful, it's that because the wind is particularly strong, strong hits have higher accuracy relative to other shots than they normally do as the wind doesn't catch them as much. Meanwhile, Federer's usual finesse is just blown all over the place. The conditions are seriously favouring Stan right now.

 

[tycoonheart]

Holy hell Stan.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Federer is prime position to win in 5 sets

 

[ultraspank]

The number of direct faults in Tsonga/Nishikori is crazy. Blame it on the wind?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Federer is prime position to win in 5 sets

If the wind doesn't die, no chance.

Meanwhile, Kei is waking up, but not in time to save the second set.

 

[Sax Russel]

Ahhhhhh Nishikori -_-

 

[Pacbois]

Ahhhhhh Nishikori -_-

Tsonga still have a lot of time to have his traditional choke.

 

[Omzz]

coming to the net always works

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Tsonga still have a lot of time to have his traditional choke.

He's choked three times already, which is pretty impressive considering he's winning 6-1 6-4 0-1.

 

[zroid]

Stan is on fiyaaahhhh
