Really looking forward to Djokovic vs Dimitrov and Nadal vs Gulbis.

Not expecting any upsets but will be very interesting to see how Dimitrov and Gulbris match up to two of the very best in the form they're both in.

Wowrinka is my favourite player to watch; his strokes are a splendid thing to watch[edit: except for his serve perhaps]. Nice to see him come to net more and finish points off too.

comments that all HC are the same is BS to me. this HC is soooo different compared to Dubai and is different to Miami as well. It suits Roger the most I think.

Dimitrov up 5-2 against Djokovic in the first set :eek:



Edit: HUGE choke when serving for the set. Double faulted 4 times, jesus

Edit2: 5-5. That's soooooo bad

Edit3: Then Dimitrov holds at love on his next service game...

He'd be in a lot of trouble right now if he was playing somebody more competent.

BWAHAHA, just got back from doing my taxes. Dimitrov hit four consecutive double faults??? THE FUCK? LMAO
Click to expand...

Nah, he had 3 in a row, then almost 4 but somehow got it in, then double faulted on the next point lol


lol....this tiebreaker is pathetic. Djokovic goes up 5-0 in like a minute

Edit: and Novak takes it 7-4 LOL

Dimitrov should just go home after that

Djokovic breaks. He's done. It was fun for a little bit, but the Dimitrov disappointment train rolls on

3rd seed vs. 13th seed and no stream in sight. And they were showing Haas game from Stadium 3 so it's not like it's an untelevised court.

Didn't Grigor choke in a similar fashion against Murray earlier this year?

Yeah he was up a break in both sets I think and still lost. Still, nothing there was as bad as this service game of his in this one. If I were him, I'd never get over that lol

Ugh Petra lost :( thought maybe she was getting it back together.

And Berdych spanked Gasquet, was hoping for the opposite. Oh well :(

Stan fought back to make it to a second set tiebreak

1-0 Stan at the moment

2-1, Stan with the minibreak

3-2 Stan, minibreak dumped back

4-2 Stan, minibreak back lol. Fed's shots seem to be breaking down, popping up way too high

4-3 Stan, netted a forehand

5-3 Stan, had some nice net play there

5-4, really janky shot there

6-4 Stan, some heavy hitting there. Two set points.

Fed double faults, Stan takes the second set.

0-40 on Stan's serve and Fed can't convert lol

Edit: Fed is hitting UGLY

Edit2: and is getting mad

He wanted to challenge whether or not his serve was out. But he waited until wawrinka had hit it back and federer had taken another shot before saying challenge. Pretty clear in the rules that you cant do that.

Gotcha. He needs to stop being a whiny bitch if he wants to win. Hate when he gets pissy like this.

Edit: can't believe Fed won that game :/

Stan can win if he just hangs in there. Federer is playing like he doesn't want to be there.


Edit: Big hold at love for Stan.

Edit2: Fed wins!

Anyone else think that Gulbis is being cocky with those drop shots? He is not even moving forward to the net, and he is casually hitting the passing shot after Nadal gets to them.

Meh, I wouldn't say that. He isn't moving forward because Nadal is pretty speedy, even when he's that far behind the baseline. Gulbis would probably get passed pretty easily if he was too close.

And only now is it time to commence the night session....past 10pm local time

edit: If Errani pulls out this first set, I can see this match going 3 sets. That would mean Djokovic/Querry wouldn't get on the court until ~1am. lol
