Courts are extremely slow, let Haas play steady/consistent ball and Djokovic was too impatient. Watched the replay yesterday and that was what it basically came down to. Haas played well, but Djokovic did not.

No. Haas forced Djokovic into playing poorly.

I haven't been keeping up with Tennis. How has the "Fedkilla" been doing so far?

Nadal beat Fed last week in a QF match at Indian Wells.

Haas trashes Simon 6-3 6-1 with some glorious all court play. Ferrer next in the SF.

Since when are slow courts to anyone but Djoker's/Nadal's advantage? :lol

Murray/Haas final please. Though at USO Cilic nearly took 2 sets off Murray before folding, maybe he wins today.

LuuKyK · Mar 28, 2013

Sugarpova completely destroyed The Empress. lmao Good luck winning some games against Serena, Maria.

Now onto rooting for Berdych. I want a final with him and Haas.

szaromir · Mar 28, 2013

This was one crappy set of tennis.

perfectchaos007 · Mar 29, 2013

Sugarpova is going to be Bitterpova once again when Serena takes her to the woodshed on Saturday.

Poor Maria. ;-; I feel afraid for her. Serena is in GODrena/FINALBOSSrena form again.

That's the form Sharapova usually gets her in. Azarenka and some other players have been fortunate to usually get the mentally weak version of Serena

Yeah, she will never forgive her for that Wimbledon final. lol

Serena allowed Sharapova to begin her legacy at the tender age of 17, and since then she's been doing everything in her power to stop it.

I don't think Serena is in a great form. She looked great against Radwanska because she gives Serena so much time to prepare for her shots.
That said, Serena never has any trouble returning Sharapova's serve or staying in rallies with her, and her serve was clicking yesterday, so I do expect the usual beatdown. Olympics style scoreline would be icing on the cake, but you can't have everything I guess.

Gasquet was really impressive against Berdych. That said, he was serving all the time to Berdych's forehand and Berdych was still not covering that wing. Ridiculous.

MIMIC · Mar 30, 2013

Very intense match so far. Maria finally gets a break to go up 3*-2.

clemenx · Mar 30, 2013

Maria not laying an egg against Serena? What's this sorcery?

Niraj · Mar 30, 2013

This is the first time Sharapova has taken a set from Serena since 2008 lol

Speevy · Mar 30, 2013

Who can get angrier?

clemenx · Mar 30, 2013

PEAK MARIA

Speevy · Mar 30, 2013

It's time to break the streak!

too soon

MIMIC · Mar 30, 2013

This has been a great match so far.

Maria not missing, displaying some great defense and Serena getting angry and going for more of her shots.

Speevy · Mar 30, 2013

Ah damn it.

It really was.

MIMIC · Mar 30, 2013

Wow. Serena certainly leveled up in the last set.

Niraj · Mar 30, 2013

Well...yeah. Lol

John Dunbar · Mar 30, 2013

I tuned in during the second set just as Sharapova broke to take the lead. Thought it was her day. And then came the next 9 games.

mcfrank · Mar 30, 2013

I thought Maria had it there for a awhile. Serena is just too dominant when she is playing well.

MIMIC · Mar 30, 2013

Serena's the perfect competitor. She doesn't get tight when she's down. She gets LOOSE. And I would say that it's even more commendable to do it against a person like Maria, who doesn't give anybody an inch.

LuuKyK · Mar 30, 2013

What a comeback! Serena is truly a legend. Well, at least the first set was the best fight these two have put together with some amazing shots, and at least Maria managed to get a set so it was not the typical beatdown. Sharapova had the break at 3-2 in the second set and was serving to open 4-2, I think at that point she realized she was playing against her nemesis and then Serena was already in her head to never leave til the end of the game. All and all, it was an interesting final. Now onto the clay season.

zero_suit · Mar 30, 2013

Nice try, Maria. The final result was NID, though.

Sax Russel · Mar 31, 2013

*turns the final on*

*Ferrer up 5-0 in the first set*

wat wat wat

John Dunbar · Mar 31, 2013

ferrer bageling murray would be so sweet. still going to lose the match in three.

rando14 · Mar 31, 2013

Murray finally on the map

tycoonheart · Mar 31, 2013

LOL Murray. Wtf is he doing.

Sax Russel · Mar 31, 2013

Damn, what a point!

Bigfoot · Mar 31, 2013

Some crazy rallies going on. Never thought I would enjoy a Murray-Ferrer match.

rangersfan414 · Mar 31, 2013

Ferrer better not win!

Xun · Mar 31, 2013

Get in there Murray!

rangersfan414 · Mar 31, 2013

I hope this match doesn't rollover into March Madness :S

LuuKyK · Mar 31, 2013

Andy... help.gif

John Dunbar · Mar 31, 2013

five breaks in a row lol

Speevy · Mar 31, 2013

If you asked someone who hates Murray and Ferrer to describe a match between these two, it would be this.

EdibleExplosives · Mar 31, 2013

What the fuck is going on.

Hold serve? lol, naaah, why?

szaromir · Mar 31, 2013
