Well shit.

 

[John Dunbar]

and there it is.

 

[Par Score]

Too easy.

 

[perfectchaos007]

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.

Murray's mind games involve feigning injury. He'll start grabbing his leg in set 2

 

[sam777]

There you go.

 

[killer_clank]

congrats djokovic, we're done here!

 

[killer_clank]

well that was anti climactic.

 

[Par Score]

Like clockwork.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

A crisp opening service game from Murray. He needs to keep playing intelligent shots rather than forcing a winner. It doesn't matter that Djokovic can do both!

 

[mclem]

Hmmm. The BBC radio feed has, I think, lost court audio. I can hear some of the audience and the commentators still, but no THWOCKs. Anyone else listening in and not hearing them?

mind games vs mind games

love it!

 

[mclem]

The THWOCKs are back!

 

[John Dunbar]

they really need to stop being fucking idiots and start using hawkeye on clay courts. total joke that the umpire still has to run down to hunt after marks.

 

[KidJr]

Ffs Murray stop these unforced errors

I don't know, I think it's part of the fun of Roland Garros. Some sort of tradition, just like players sweeping the mark to grant the point.

He heard you!

I think it's a matter of time for Hawkeye on clay. The sooner the better as that 40-30 point on Novak's serve showed.

Tradition or something.

This is the beauty of clay court but mistakes always happen.I think the way it is played is the best.Some things should remain in its classical form.

 

[John Dunbar]

using tradition as an excuse to keep human error as part of officiating a sporting event is total nonsense. no different from opposing goal line technology in football.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Awful stuff from WaWa. I fell asleep I was so disappointed. Winner got a bye in the finals.

Totally agree. Whatever margin of error they're worried about can't be as bad as a guy guessing after the fact and getting influenced by the player.

 

[sam777]

Just fucking use Hawkeye.

 

[killer_clank]

thats a very loud linesman

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Well, that wrong call got evened out quickly! Horribly late call.

 

[Par Score]

It was tradition to rely on chalk dust on grass courts and that was total BS too.

Hawkeye should be mandated at the top tournaments by the ATP.

 

[jelly]

Is there a reason for not using Hawkeye?

We get to see whatever it is on TV so why don't they use it.

 

[sam777]

Another break on its way here.

 

[killer_clank]

christ murray

 

[perfectchaos007]

"clayray" gets broken in the 2nd set.

 

[jelly]

Damn it Murray.

 

[szaromir]

"clayray" gets broken in the 2nd set.

Clayray didn't show up today, his poor imitation called Mugray is out there on the court instead.

 

[John Dunbar]

this is all because murray is not wearing his black shirt.

 

[killer_clank]

the age of good djokovic murray matches is over. joker just has an edge over him physically and mentally, and i can't see any way for murray to get out of it now.

 

[miserable]

lol
who in their right mind would put their faith in Murray?

 

[sam777]

Looks like Crab will be keeping his "salt" that he had for Mimic.

 

[JadedWriter]

I don't know why I expected Murray to win this.

 

[m_shortpants]

Real talk, can anyone stop Djokovic?

 

[jelly]

5 set strategy obviously.

 

[Pepiope]

It'll probably take a bad call on a decisive point in a final for something to happen.

Real talk, can anyone stop Djokovic?

Djokovic

 

[Par Score]

"Djokovic beats Murray" isn't a headline, it's not even a punchline, it's just a fact of life.

 

[John Dunbar]

tennis gods bless us, wawrinka.

 

[miserable]

DelPotro will end the Age of Djoker

 

[sam777]

Wawrinka has got this.

 

[JadedWriter]

Real talk, can anyone stop Djokovic?

No he's a fucking cyborg now.

 

[Niraj]

This shouldn't be a surprise. The only thing Murray is better than Djokovic at is losing.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Clayray didn't show up today, his poor imitation called Mugray is out there on the court instead.

right....*rolls eyes*

i'm ready for this dumb clayray myth to be exposed. If he loses today, the prophesy would not be fulfilled proving clayray was a false prophet.

 

[MIMIC]

The sooner this "Clayray" nonsense ends, the better. I don't know whether it was in jest, or serious. But either way, it is an affront to tennis.

 

[Sax Russel]

The sooner this "Clayray" nonsense ends, the better.

Gonna end pretty soon ;D

 

[killer_clank]

more mind games.

ugh, I've had to miss most of the semis, but it doesn't look like I'm missing much.
