it is up to clayray to save tennis here. wawrinka is sure to fold in the final.

 

[darkwing]

Salty Frenchmen booing Stan after the victory. Oh well.

lol why am I not surprised

 

[perfectchaos007]

Safarova will play in the doubles and singles final tomorrow. She's the real queen of clay....unless she loses both

 

[Kotetsu534]

Hope Andy can at least take a set to stop Djokovic winning a Slam without losing any.

Why would you want him stopped? If the king of clay had to go down, it should be to a man who wins the french open without losing a single set.

 

[inm8num2]

Great win for Stan! Glad he's in the final.

 

[tycoonheart]

Novak needs to stay as aggressive as he did against Nadal. Take the first set and Murray will start grabbing and clutching his legs and back.

Where is MIMIC?

clayray has not lost yet.

 

[Diprosalic]

dear lord i hope for a murray upset.
Stan will devour Clayray.

 

[Space Avocat]

Clayray on track for the triple bagel

 

[BlindCommunication]

At last some proper tennis.

 

[John Dunbar]

expected slow start from serena djokovic. he knows exactly how to play sir andrew: play somewhat poorly at the start to make murray confident, then up your level a bit and watch the scot crumble.

 

[zroid]

this is gonna be a long match

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Some nice and juicy rallies to get us started. Hopefully it keeps up!

 

[perfectchaos007]

this is gonna be a long match

Already 5:30. If it goes 5 sets, with these long points, it could be suspended due to darkness

 

[John Dunbar]

in the long run it's kind of difficult to see this going too well for murray unless he gets like 80% of first serves in. that second serve is just that pathetic.

 

[lazybones18]

Nice shot

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I wish I was good at tennis

 

[mclem]

One game each, with serve, after thirteen minutes.

I suspect this might be a long one.

 

[perfectchaos007]

routine hold for Djokovic.

Nice win for Wawrinka, Tsonga was competitive (nice improvement compared to the Ferrer match in 2013) but Wawrinka always seemed to have the key. Even when he played his worse, the match was tight. That said, both had a lot of break points and converted extremely few of them, it would have been interesting to see a break from Jo in the third.
Both could have played better, but I think the hot weather played a part in the match, like Stan said at the end (I can confirm it, I'm not doing anything at home and I'm sweating).

Now let's see if mister Murray can hold his own against Djokovic.

 

[Silkworm]

Andy holds fairly easily to go 2 all. Go Andy!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Is Andy Roddick coaching these days? I miss him flirting with Sue Barker.

 

[Ophiuchus]

This semi-final will be one long match.If Djokovic makes it to final then I think we will witness great and long final.

 

[ultraspank]

Salty Frenchmen booing Stan after the victory. Oh well.

Can someone explain to me why is he so hated?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Murray's only mistake there was assuming Djokovic wouldn't get to that.

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic always goes cross court when he goes after drop shots. why don't players ever block it and force him go down the line?

 

[sam777]

This match is going to last for ages at this rate.

 

[mclem]

Can someone explain to me why is he so hated?

In this instance simply having beaten a French player at the French Open was probably sufficient.

 

[lazybones18]

Hey, down in front

 

[Anth1888]

Man,this French crowd need to stfu

 

[Kensuke]

Can someone explain to me why is he so hated?

I don't think he's particularly hated. He just won against crowd favorites like Federer and Tsonga. He did contest a few calls I guess, which the crowd never likes.

 

[ultraspank]

In this instance simply having beaten a French player at the French Open was probably sufficient.

I don't know, i'm under the impression that he got booed every match this last two weeks.

 

[tycoonheart]

This crowd man.

 

[ultraspank]

But yeah, i agree, it's the worst crowd i've seen in years here.

 

[tycoonheart]

Novak needs to sort out his first serve.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Murray's retrieval is great, but class will always beat graft.

 

[Par Score]

Novak starting the mind-games early.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I thought Djokovic was in trouble there being down 0-30

 

[Anth1888]

These bullshit mind games make me hate Djoko, prick.

 

[sam777]

Novak fucking about acting as if he is dizzy. Proper nobhead.

 

[John Dunbar]

Novak starting the mind-games early.

he knows exactly how to rattle murray. the scot will beat himself long before djokovic has to do it.

 

[Silkworm]

Those Djokovic drops shots.... damn.

 

[Par Score]

he knows exactly how to rattle murray. the scot will beat himself long before djokovic has to do it.

Aye

 

[Kotetsu534]

Damn Djokovic didn't even make a serious effort to beat Murray normally before going for the mind games. C'mon man, save that for when it's one set all two hours in.

 

[KidJr]

Shit triple break

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Errors creeping in to the Scot's game. First blood to Novak!

 

[sam777]

The mind games seems to have worked for Novak.

 

[Kensuke]

Well, there it is. Murray needed the first set...
