NID. She loves her dramas. I am not watching but I bet she will win the set easily, make her crying face and complain about herself even though she is playing GOAT tennis. I admire her a lot, but her attitude lately has been awful.

She's not playing GOAT tennis and she's exhausted

 

[Faith]

What a match! I'm so glad I was part of it

Glad you had fun. Pretty solid final to go to

Youzhny with a very impressive straight sets win. Didn't expect that at all.

Edit: And Serena with that bagel. Probably tougher for Li since she had triple break point there :/

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena made it difficult on herself the last two matches, but she prevailed. Now she'll rest/make public appearances until the Australian Open. Hopefully she doesn't stump her toe this time

As much as I like Ferrer, I'm really hoping that by the end of the year the rankings are either Murray > Del Potro > Ferrer or Del Potro > Murray > Ferrer. It's becoming really awkward for one of Djokovic or Nadal to keep receiving what are effectively byes.

 

[ghstwrld]

Queen ;__;

 

[Wafflecakes]

Ridiculous how thoroughly Serena demolished the record prize money record.

I hope she doesn't wear herself out next season with this type of schedule. I have no clue how she keeps it up at her age.

 

[scarlet]

Queen ;__;

Hopefully I can watch her next year in Singapore

 

[MIMIC]

Gulbis :-/

Also, congrats to Serena. I can't believe that she had her best win-loss percentage in her 30s @_@

Paire has to be one of the biggest clowns to ever step on a tennis court.

Can't argue there lol. What'd he do this time?

 

[szaromir]

Just awful, awful attitude, no apparent will to try to find a way to win points consistently and going for the most puzzling shot selection + inability to execute those shots. Then he smashed his racket at 2*-2 0-15 and got booed by the crowd; then he got booed by the crowd after the match when leaving the court; he's French at a French tournament so that says a lot how much they appreciated his efforts.

Nothing too surprising I guess. Maybe somebody he'll get his idiocy sorted out.

The fact that this sort of display is not unusual makes him one of the biggest clowns
Tennis-wise I think he's got top 10 potential easily, but the attitude just isn't there.

Tsonga isn't fooling around, he wants that London spot badly. I would like to see all 3 of Tsonga, Wawrinka and Gasquet playing in London.

Spoiler

Ferrer, please withdraw.

That'd be great. Hope Tsonga makes it and plays like he did two years ago, as opposed to how he did last year.

 

[szaromir]

Tsonga-Nishikori turned out to be a battle after the quick first set.
edit: Tsonga has lost and won't play in London

WTA's Paris indoors event poster - look at the list of sponsors (I'm not sure what to think about it):

 

[Niraj]

....wow

 

[Wafflecakes]

That seems inappropriate.....

 

[LuuKyK]

Sharapova-Slam. Maria is a visionary.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'll raise Sugarpova this poster. It's Redfoo's tourny

 

[Niraj]

Maybe Fed could serve it out this time :/

 

[Sax Russel]

A spot in the World Tour Finals?! Golly gee whiz are you serious?!~ I can't handle that pressure, gotta choke!

Well, at least he made it somehow =P

Does Azarenka play there?

Spoiler

lol

 

[Coldnoodle]

Fed has a decent chance at the WTF.

 

[Niraj]

Fed has a decent chance at the WTF.

Can never count him out there. Has made an appearance there every year since 2002, won 6 times. That's pretty sick.

Good day for tennis.

Isner vs Djokovic, Federer vs Kohlschreiber, Nadal vs Janowicz, Dimitrov vs Del Potro, Gasquet vs Nishikori, Raonic vs Berdych.

Yup, I could stand watch some of those.

 

[Deadman]

Another straight sets win for Fed. Plays del potro again.

 

[perfectchaos007]

DelPo and Djokovic were slow to get going, but ended up taking care of business

 

[Reyne]

If Nadal wins his match against Janowicz all of the top 9 ( barring Murray ) will be in the QF of Paris, and they are all confirmed for London. Thats... cool.

Wow really nice quarter final matches

 

[Faith]

Anybody watching? Djokovic is destroying Wawrinka!

 

[John Dunbar]

federer playing really well at the start. still expect him to go into error-mode at any moment, but it's a thing of beauty while it lasts.

His touch is splendid at the moment.

 

[John Dunbar]

federer takes the first set, lost only two points on serve. del potro not at his best, though.

 

[Reyne]

Just started watching. Pleased to see that Federer is up a set. He seem to be striking the ball well.

 

[John Dunbar]

shanked a break point. federer gonna federer.

 

[Reyne]

Now that was a weird point. Didn't expect Delpo to leap over the net, lol.

 

[Niraj]

Fed is looking pretty sharp.

 

[szaromir]

It's slowly but surely heading into tiebreak territory.

 

[szaromir]

Set point delpo :/

 

[Niraj]

You just had to say something -_- lol

 

[Deadman]

Hello federror

 

[Reyne]

Well, that had 'meh' written all over it.

 

[John Dunbar]

oh federer.

this has federer-nadal at cincinnati vibe to it. until late in the second it seemed federer would take it, but now he's probably losing.

 

[Niraj]

Thanks for reminding me about that it's much more miserable in person.

 

[szaromir]

This was unexpected

 

[Reyne]

Wait, who was that guy who just broke Delpo to love?

 

[Sax Russel]

Dat Delpo train, picking up steam.

 

[Niraj]

Should've broken at love again tbh
