dude that other guy looked tiny

Schwartzman is listed at 5'7" (170cm) but I think he's a couple inches (4cm) shorter than his listing

I just watched a replay of that match with my family. They were all shocked at how unsportsmanlike Dimitrov was lol. I had to explain to them how code violations escalated, and in the last game my dad predicted, correctly, that Dimitrov would lose the match via code violation.

Now that is funny. It's McEnroe levels of rage to bust that many racquets.

EDIT: My brain fart of rackets vs racquets is also LOL worthy.

Fed is playing Madrid.

Nope. Back injury.

[Niraj]

Well yeah, NOW he isn't

Expected to play Rome, but we'll see.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Hell yeah Chirico!
Too bad she gets Azarenka next. She'll take a beating there

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

And here is me half-thinking Tomic had turned over a new leaf last year and refocused on his tennis...he tanked match point by returning with his racquet handle in Madrid against Fognini. How you lose mate is just as important as how you win.

This tweet sums it up nicely:

 

[Niraj]

lol what a dumbass

 

[ShyGuy]

Tomic is THE WORST

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Kyrgios is THE WORST

FTFY

 

[oti]

FTFY

Both are terrible.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Azarenka withdrew from Madrid. She can't catch a break

They took the YouTube down but I dont get it...was he pissed at an umpire/line judge call or something...? why do this at such a crucial time in the match lol...

Oh and on the women side, 4 Romanians in the quarter finals in Madrid,including the surprising Patricia Maria Tig.

 

[LuuKyK]

Out of all the QFs Halep is the only seeded player (6). What a mess the WTA is without Serena and Maria.

Hopefully Serena stops only playing slams and twerking to beyonce on her freetime and starts giving a fuck about tennis again. Also Maria is so into being a business-woman right now with her brands, music festivals and gala events, by the time her ban is up she will probably have forgotten how to play tennis. :lol (half kidding as she posts a thousand videos training on her instagram but still).

Wow thats impressive. Chirico is a qualifier into the Quarters too. Hopefully she can take out Ms. I'm good from behind Gavrilova.

 

[ShyGuy]

Both are terrible.

Yeah this.

I can't stand Tomic and have been annoyed by him for years. Kyrgios, initially I supported especially after I saw him play live at the Australian Open till something like 2am or whatever it was. And then he went to shit too.

Oh well.

But Tomic's latest indiscretion is the worst act of sportsmanship I've ever seen and he is an embarrassment to Australia

 

[Ricker]

Wow thats impressive. Chirico is a qualifier into the Quarters too. Hopefully she can take out Ms. I'm good from behind Gavrilova.

Well not this time,Chirico defeats her,in front of about 200 people,and heads to her first WTA semi.

Why they schedule anyone for a morning match in Spain is beyond me. The Spaniards don't even wake up until noon

 

[perfectchaos007]

Well 3 out of the 4 Romanians lost in today's QF. Here are your semis for the women in Madrid

Semi 1:
Cibulkova v. Chirico

Semi 2:
Stosur v. Halep

 

[Milchmann]

I hope Chirico has improved her skills at the net: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ZTIfly0uc

lol...yeah,she is much better

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think she was afraid of touching the net there. Idk, it was very poor judgement either way. Even worse looking execution

 

[perfectchaos007]

Dream run is over for Chirico. Nadal is looking like his old self on clay. He's going to be the favorite at the French for sure

edit: maybe not

 

[szaromir]

Murray should be sentenced into prison for his inability to deal with Wafa's moonballs. So frustrating to watch.
edit: he did break for the set. good

 

[John Dunbar]

clayray rising

 

[szaromir]

Massive brainfart from Mugray.

 

[John Dunbar]

ascension is near. paradise awaits true believers.

 

[zero_suit]

Murray's clay court ascension has been impressive.

 

[Diamond]

Nice one. But I'll only believe if he beats Djokovic.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Djokovic shut down his game too early

 

[szaromir]

Djokovic 40-0 up serving for the match and got broken lol.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tomorrow's final between Djokovic and Murray should be fun

 

[oti]

Tomorrow's final between Djokovic and Murray should be fun

"fun"

 

[T-0800]

Djokovic 40-0 up serving for the match and got broken lol.

How is that possible? Aren't you supposed to return match point with the handle?

 

[John Dunbar]

"fun"

suffering leads to salvation.

 

[Niraj]

Another quality match in the rivalry.

 

[miserable]

Djoker ain't got time for scrubby Murray. Why do i keep watching this matchup? it always ends the same way.

 

[John Dunbar]

disturbing lack of faith in this thread.

 

[perfectchaos007]

disturbing lack of faith in this thread.

Who the hell would believe in a God that continues to be defeated by mortals? If anything, people will start converting to the church of Claykovic

 

[Diamond]

disturbing lack of faith in this thread.

Disturbing lack of Murray victories against Djokovic is the problem.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Disturbing lack of Murray victories against Djokovic is the problem.

Djokovic has defeated Murray in 12 of the last 13 meetings. That's almost Serena v. Sharapova bad.

 

[John Dunbar]

chosen people have always been persecuted.

 

[oti]

Clayray was nothing but a scam from the British government to sell more... red ash to the people.

 

[Xun]

Murray has ended his coaching relationship with Mauresmo:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/36247592

It'll be interesting to see what happens from here.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Tomic pulling out sick in the first set. Fuck mate get some heart! I love Djoker's comment of "time to get serious Tomic", this from a hitting partner on the tour and the world number one.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Ana Ivanovic continues to struggle on clay this year. To make matters worse, rumors are spreading that she may be pregnant. Poor lady

meanwhile Federer won his first match back today

 

[szaromir]

6-all in the first set of the Nadal-Kyrgios encounter and Nadal has hit an astounding amount of winners (1).

edit: fantastic tiebreak by Kyrgios.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Now they split. Kyrgios will probably crumble in the 3rd.

 

[Niraj]

That was a good hold after going down

 

[Rainy Dog]

Goffin to slealth win the French out of nowhere.

Absolutely destoying Berdych here. Incredible tennis.

EDIT: And there it is. First set bagel.

 

[szaromir]

It seems that the 2010-2015 era, where there is the big 4 and Ferrer/Berdych serving as gatekeepers between them and everyone else is gone now.
