Sharapova wins it,going to be a good final tomorrow...

So Bouchard will not be in Nurnberg...wont she lose a ton of points since she won last year over there...?

 

[Niraj]

Great start Roger lol

 

[Deleted member 231381]

And people say Nadal is out of form...

The only difference betweem them right now is that Federer has the seeding to avoid these losses as early.

EDIT: Welp, we all have to eat our words sometimes. :x

EDIT: Actually, no, I reinstate my words. Federer isn't playing well, Wawrinka is just bending over for him.

 

[Niraj]

That certainly turned around.

 

[Sax Russel]

wat. Man. I'd rather see Wawrinka play Djokovic =X

 

[szaromir]

The only difference betweem them right now is that Federer has the seeding to avoid these losses as early.

The other significant difference is that Roger stands on the baseline, not 3 meters behind it, so playing him is a completely different challenge.

 

[LuuKyK]

Yes Fed, great comeback.

 

[greenleaves]

Yeah, Roger doesn't cough up short balls as often as Nadal has recently, and he rushes his opponents by taking the ball on the rise.

Obviously, by "only difference", I meant "only difference in form", not play style.

 

[LuuKyK]

The hell is Stan doing. The epitome of brainless. lol

 

[Ricker]

Wow,too easy lol...

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This is a terrible match. ;_; Where did Godwrinka go?

 

[szaromir]

On the upside, Roger should be fresh for the final, despite playing late in the evening today.

 

[LuuKyK]

What a demolition. lol Under an hour too.

 

[Niraj]

Wouldn't have expected this from the way it started.

 

[Ricker]

Guess Stan the man went in beast mode too early lol,should of kept some strenght for today...what a beatdown.

 

[Smellycat]

Federer vs. Djokovic final!! 1 vs 2 for the third time this year

I think this might be their first clay final too!

 

[szaromir]

Carla has taken the first set. Unbelievable given it's a final and she has a miserable record in those.

 

[Grep]

I hope this joke called women finale will end soon, we can see some real stuff.

 

[Peru]

Maria has had a slower clay season start, this title would help so much going into rg, plus tie Serena for nr of clay titles.

I hope this joke called women finale will end soon, we can see some real stuff.

Get out of my thread, dude

 

[Peru]

Drop shot the new MS go-to shot for high pressure situation.

Every match this tournament something's worked and something hasn't. Serve great, return bad one day, vice versa the next. Overall level not high enough but I think she'll take this.

Grow up, man. What a stupid thing to say.

She have to improve a lot for the FO though. Her return specially, its dreadfully bad.

 

[MIMIC]

Where is Serena to put an end to this nonsense? =p Seeing Maria do so well on clay is still so bizarre to me.

 

[Peru]

I like a lot of what I see in terms of footwork and defense, working the angles, but the depth isn't good enough, and as she always says you need depth to go with the power. Also too many stupid periods.

Anyway, another clay title down and if she or Serena wins FO that will be the active player with most clay titles.

It will be Halep

Spoiler

not really

Who's gonna make the RG OT?

 

[Peru]

Who's gonna make the RG OT?

You?

 

[scarlet]

You?

Nah, not interested.

 

[Peru]

We've had a slam OT OP with like one line in it, so anyone's up for the job. Let's see if someone wants it tho.

 

[LuuKyK]

I would like to do it, if no one else claimed it yet. When should it be up?

 

[Smellycat]

Federer won the coin toss and then gave Djokovic the option to serve/receive. No idea why

 

[scarlet]

Before Saturday?

1st match is on next Sunday

That's weird.

The quallies begin wednesday though no? Wouldn't that technically mean that the OP should be by that time?

Oh yeah! lol

You have my blessing =p

They usually go up when the draw comes out (or a little before)

 

[Peru]

Usually it goes up around the time the draws are revealed. / beaten

By the way, has anyone downloaded the FO mobile app? I think it is called "My Roland Garros" or something like that. It is absolutely useless. I am not sure if there will be another app specifically for scores, but this one assumes you are ticket holder and then asks you for your name, email and DOB. And the app itself is useless. The FO usually has horrible apps for some reason.

 

[scarlet]

Somehow I forgot about qualifications.

3rd time no DelPo in RG, I guess his career is 90% over :'(

 

[szaromir]

Not looking good for Fed thus far, he can't make any inroads into Djoker's serve.

 

[Smellycat]

Djokovic is cruising on serve. Federer needs to maintain a high first serve percentage and win free points.

 

[MIMIC]

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to wait up for the match.

And I'm getting sleepy now. >_< I hope this is over by 12:30 at least

To correspond to the horrible crowds, no doubt

 

[Niraj]

Please don't post John Dunbar

 

[Smellycat]

Oh man, so close...

 

[Niraj]

Well that's basically match imo

 

[MIMIC]

Dat U.S. Open return winner ^_^

The official app is called RolandGarros and hasn't been updated yet. When you try to open it it says "See you in 2015 for the next French Open". It should be updated in the next couple of days though.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Federer pls

Pull out the finger wag

 

[Niraj]

Well we didn't even need John to predict that one

 

[szaromir]

Damn Federror.

 

[MIMIC]

That miss by Federer (or whatever that was) was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed

 

[Milchmann]

Future superstar Alexander Zverev has won the Challenger tournament in Heilbronn and is now in the Top 100 for the first time.
