If I remember correctly, Azarenka choked it away. She was up 6-5 40-0 on her serve and couldn't close the match lol

She was.

Vika and Cornet seems to be Serena's nightmares

LMAO that would explain it.

Anyway, ESPN has posted its experts' picks: http://espn.go.com/tennis/story/_/id/12801336/experts-picks-french-open

Men
Winner: Djokovic (7), Nadal (2), Murray (1), Federer (1)
Dark Horse: Fognini (3), Kyrgios (2), Agut (2), Goffin (1), Mayer (1), Thiem (1), Gasquet (1)

Women
Winner: Halep (5), Sharapova (4), Serena (2)
Dark Horse: Kuznetsova (4), Azarenka (2), Garcia (2), Muguruza (1), Lisicki (1)

As much as I want Halep to win her 1st slam, she hasn't reach that level of consistency for a gs champion. Like Ana.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I was surprised how many ESPN "experts" chose Halep to win. Clayrapova will probably beat her in the semis. But who knows, maybe team Adidas is going to play out of their minds at the French

She really seems prone to having bizarre matches where it seems like she wants to be anywhere but there. It's very perplexing.

 

[scarlet]

Halep isn't playing that good right now.

Her serve is still a mess

 

[Peru]

Alright, we're underway. Thank god there's a separate window slamtracker for RG so I don't have to use their provocation of a website.

Ok I caved and got a month of Eurosport player. It's good they have all the TV courts available.

 

[MIMIC]

LOL, Youzhny whacked his head with his racket about 11 times.

No blood this time.

 

[LuuKyK]

Well it started.

Halep's game is so boring to watch, yikes.

Youzhny needs to retire, seriously.

Also just realized Ivanovic's outfit is literally the same as the ballgirls. lol

 

[MIMIC]

What in the hell is Mr. Federer wearing? @_@

 

[LuuKyK]

Iconic outfit, great color combination imo. Enough with the boring outfits I say.

Yeah I kinda like it too.

 

[Smellycat]

Slow ass courts

Prepare for a 6 hour QF between Djokovic and Nadal

Amazing smash.

Hot pants.

When does Federer play?

Now. Probably Wednesday next.

Thinking of doing something like this also...right now on TSN up here in Canada they have live coverage,probably ESPN feeds,on 2 of their 5 channels...theres about 6 matches going on right now and those idiots are showing the same match on both channels...pisses me off.

France Television site broadcasts all matches on the web, I don't know at all if it works for you guys abroad but you can give it a try.

If you're on chrome, try hola maybe?

 

[LuuKyK]

Monday's schedule is out.

 

[Ricker]

First upset on the womens side...countrywomen Caroline Garcia(31) lost to Donna Vekic(165)...

 

[LuuKyK]

Isn't that Wawrinka's new girlfriend? lol

 

[Niraj]

And when we thought it couldn't get worse

What's even more embarrassing is that it apparently happened during his practice session yesterday as well.

"I'm not happy about it, obviously not one second I'm happy about it," Federer said. "It happened yesterday in the practice, too. And, today on center court, where you would think this is a place where nobody can come on, just wanders on and nothing happens."

What a clusterfuck

 

[oti]

Come on Ivanovic...

 

[Smellycat]

Yeah that selfie kid incident is not funny or cool. It is quite alarming and I understand why Federer was upset. This happened to him at the 2009 FO too and in both cases the security took forever to apprehend the intruders. What if someone decides to bring a gun or a knife? Smh

Oh wow thanks for the tip. Could've saved 7€ and the trash that is Silverlight.

 

[LuuKyK]

Ivanovic lost first set. First big upset incoming?

Hard to say, Shvedova is a bit of a headcase.

 

[Diamond]

Yup... Thankfully nothing happened but they're asking for it.

She is back in it now though,leading 4-0 in the second set...

I wonder how this whole "the French are the worst GS crowd" thing started. Now people expect them to be that, it's their thing.

Well it at least goes as far back as the Martina Hingis incident. It scarred that teen for a long time

That was brutal.

 

[szaromir]

All of the 14 concluded matches on the men's side have been straight-setters. Only two more matches to finish, Johnson-GGL which is in its 4th set and Sela-Kukushkin which can still finish in straight sets. What an epic day at Roland Garros.

Hmm. Using Hola i was able to get it going and play the commercials but once it goes to play the actual feed it says it can't play it.

Any ideas?

 

[perfectchaos007]

lol Steve Johnson. So much fail

 

[Niraj]

lol Steve Johnson. So much fail

I stopped watching at like 4-4 in the third...yikes

Edit: Nice turnaround after being down a break in the fifth.

Yeah after being down that break I thought he was done. Hence my previous post lol.

Also the chair umpire in that match looked like he was 17

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Absolutely disgusting. They need to get security under control. No excuses.

 

[Uzzy]

There's a relief, Lisicki takes the first set 6-3. Maybe she won't crash out too early this year!

lol watching her can be the best and worst thing ever. At least she (occasionally) shines at Wimbledon. Watching her in the final a few years back was absolutely miserable :lol

Too right. She'll play amazing tennis to stage an amazing comeback against Serena Williams one day, then look as if she's only just picked up a racket the next. That final was painful.

Edit: And Lisicki wraps up the second set 6-2. Good stuff.

 

[Boozeroony]

Give Nishioka a backpack, some pokeballs and a cap. He can star in the next Pokemon movie.

 

[Pacbois]

ffs Simon is playing terribly.

Also they really need to modernise Roland Garros, at least a retractable roof like at Wimbledon. Basically some people wanted the open to move next to Disneyland but that's pretty much way too far from the city center. Meanwhile expanding Roland Garros is blocked by a shitload of lawsuits and we're still stuck with old stadiums.

 

[LuuKyK]

Tuesday's order of play is out.
