I thought the garden match was tomorrow night, since the knicks are playing tonight.

Nope, it's tonight 100% sure.

And the knicks are playing on the road, not in the garden. And tomorrow nite the Rangers are back in the garden

EDIT:Rafa vs Delpo, can't wait to see Rafa taking it too seriously....

 

[perfectchaos007]

Didn't realize Nadal vs. Delpo was going to be broadcast on ESPN2. First exhibition I can recall getting televised.

edit: oh crap, womens basketball going into overtime

 

[chessnut]

when does it start?

 

[MIMIC]

WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL IN OVERTIME

Why, God? Why?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Double OT

God hates tennis

 

[MIMIC]

double overtime

WHY NOT?

Call it a fucking tie. Jesus.

EDIT: Thank God. It's airing on ESPNews (until the basketball game is over)

 

[lazybones18]

Wish I could find video of Serena being denied from taking a pic of Tiger at the tee during the weekend. It was pretty funny

edit: 1st set to Delpo. Really hope Nadal doesn't lose to that fraud

 

[Speevy]

Well damn.

I'm not exactly sure why Delpo is a fraud. He does things that trouble other players.

Delpo isn't a fraud. The top 4 simply have more endurance.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Exhos are such shit quality...

 

[MIMIC]

LOL, this match is hilarious.

Nadal head-butted the ball over the net for a winner.

 

[zero_suit]

Lol, Ben Stiller.

 

[MIMIC]

LOL, that was great.

That little girl is the next Graf

 

[Speevy]

I know this is an exhbition, but I'd like to see Nadal play his best.

 

[zero_suit]

LOL, that was great.

That little girl is the next Graf

She was legit.

when is draw for IW?
edit:2013 BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells main draw will take place on Tue, Mar 5 at 15:00 (local time)

 

[Certinty]

Quarter-Final predictions?

What I would like:
Djokovic vs Tsonga
Ferrer vs Del Potro
Murray vs Nadal
Federer vs Berdych

But that obviously won't happen, no doubt Nadal will draw Ferrer, no?

[Globox_82]

Djokovic and Murray in top half. Federer and Ferrer in bottom half. Nadal lands in...Federer's quarter.

3. Projected Quarterfinals:

Djokovic/Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Murray/Juan Martin Del Potro
Ferrer/Tomas Berdych

Nadal/Tipsarevic.

5. First round match-ups of note:

Lleyton Hewitt/Lukas Rosol
Nikolay Davydenko/Paul-Henri Mathieu
Thomaz Bellucci/Bernard Tomic.




good draw for Roger, if he can't beat rafa here, not sure when he will. and rafa might not even make it to the QF

 

[Globox_82]

This is sparta & Die Hard dudes with Nole

best part of hater comments is when someone calls novak for being arrogant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azt33eFTCXY

 

[Certinty]

Am quite surprised Indian Wells started with the bottom half. Would have though if the Federer vs Nadal Quarter-Final were to happen it would be a Friday night match, but clearly not.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Both of the Britone female phenoms Laura Robson and Heather Watson have been bounced in the first round. 16 year old American Taylor Townsend won her first round match vs. top 60 Hradecka.

edit: Holy crap I just read Townsend wasn't allowed to play in last years Junior US Open because she was too fat!!! USTA thinks she's a fatso

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

That's Patric McEnore for you, piece of shit with a little man AND a little bro complex is destroying what little chance US tennis has of succeeding...

That was preposterous, even though she was too fat. She has lost some pounds since then though. Good win in the opening rround.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Why don't they stream early round matches at IW? =\

 

[Globox_82]

Why don't they stream early round matches at IW? =\

there are no cameras for the first round...which is odd.


BTW is Novak trying to give self fellation? JK

 

[mcfrank]

Headed to IW for 4 sessions this weekend. Anyone else?

 

[szaromir]

Why don't they stream early round matches at IW? =\

All tournaments with "the 5th slam" aspirations do that :/ (both IW and Miami)

Pretty good, Maria channeling a bit of Kill Bill at one point.

Would've been amazing if the end Novak instead said "HOW MANY TIME?"

 

[perfectchaos007]

The first ATP 1000 event with first round coverage is the one i'll dub the 5th slam. ball is in your court organizers

I think all of them have it except Indian Wells and Miami...
By comparison, Australian Open this year gave fans live streaming of qualifications on youtube. Obviously different class of tournaments but it just shows that some events go out of their way to satisfy fans, others seem to be doing way less than they should. But I've heard both Indian Wells and Miami are great tournaments to actually be at.

Actually, there is coverage today. First round match of James Blake v. Robin Hasse coming up next on the tennis channel.

Crazy. It's a good thing Marion Bartoli isn't American, I guess.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The French fuck with Bartoli too. Couldn't play in the Olympics because her father is her coach and is not a French Federation one. Such bullshit.

 

[MIMIC]

So I was wrong: Rafa's back on the hard stuff.

He's playing Harrison. It's all tied up at 4-4 (after Harrison broke back at 4*-2 and then held).

And LMAO, Harrison truly does have the worst luck when it comes to draws.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

If anyone is interested in paddle, the Platform Tennis nationals are taking place this weekend. You can follow along at http://www.platformtennismembers.org/2013nationals and check out some videos, even live tomorrow when they resume.

It's not tennis, but it can be a really interesting game in its own right, especially for you losers that are into long rallies
