Went to sleep after Radwanska took the first set, thinking the rest should be academic. Damn it Aga.

Yeah I watched most of the match. The pocket rocket was on her game. Radwanska had her chances though. Hopefully she's not having mental hangover from being dropped by the Orthodox church.

Hingis back in doubles...with Hantuchova lol. And they win the comeback 6-1 6-1

I'm watching Hantuchova v. Radwanska right now. Pretty good match so far. And good for Hingis...I would love to see her play some singles, and that way she would get some TV time.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Raonic is on a downward spiral.



Hahhahahahaa tomic just missed the easiest shot in the worls.

 

[Deadman]

Federer withdraws from montreal

 

[Niraj]

Dammit. Wonder if he'll be in Cinci. Would be a shame not to see him this year. Was fun watching him whoop Fish last year

he's too nice

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Eugenie just needs a little more polish to her game. Her serve is improving believe it or not.

 

[scarlet]

oh no delpo

 

[Niraj]

oh no delpo

Please tell me he didn't get hurt :/

 

[scarlet]

He's alright, but dodig leads 4-3 and up a break in the final set.

Edit: And delpo won 7-5 from 1-4!

Thank god. I'm going to Cincinnati next week and was hoping to see him play again

 

[Deadman]

Gulbis beats murray in straight sets, plays winner of delpo and raonic

 

[MIMIC]

GOATs gonna GOAT. Onto the 4th round for Mr. Gulbis

 

[LuuKyK]

Fuck yes Ernests, win it all. I love his weird style of tennis.

 

[szaromir]

It seems pretty standard to me (very aggressive baseliner), his forehand is funky and unusual though.

 

[szaromir]

This Pospisil kid is gooooood

 

[Sax Russel]

The score on the ESPN3 feed keeps freezing -_-, come on guys, can't be that hard to not fuck that up.

Edit: Hey, I can get a neck massage every changeover? Dudes, sweet, this is the life!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Pospisil and Raonic are looking good.

 

[BigJonsson]

Heh, if Raonic and Pospisil win later today they will play each other in the semis

 

[szaromir]

Pospisil and Raonic are looking good.

Raonic is a cheat:

Reminds me of the 2008 olympics semi-final between James Blake and....I think Juan-Monico? James Blake's opponent clearly tipped the ball with his racket but the line chair didn't hear it. The ball changed direction so it clearly went off his racket but he played it off as if nothing happened, and that was the turning point in the match.

Errani is such an embarassment. Wtf

I am sure he will enjoy the extra time to relax. Deserved!

 

[szaromir]

what do you mean? I'm happy she lost though.

Hopefully it stays that way, Ernests FTW!

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Raonic won.

Meanwhile TSN.ca has the PGA Championship as its top headline. smh

 

[Bigfoot]

Yes! We have a Canadian in the final... although either will get destroyed by Novak or Rafa in the final.

 

[BigJonsson]

With the way things are going rafa and djoko will lose lol

Ugly win by milos but I'll take it

 

[szaromir]

Ernie
Now I'll have to suffer Richie getting spanked by Djokovic.

 

[MIMIC]

Cincy draw is out:

TOP HALF:
Djokovic-Gasquet
Ferrer-Del Potro

BOTTOM HALF:
Federer-Nadal
Berdych-Murray

Time to make history, Novak!!!

Novak Djokovic has a shot at tennis history next month, when he attempts to complete a sweep of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in Cincinnati.

Should the World No. 1 win the Western & Southern Open for the first time, he would become the first singles player to win all of the ATP World Tour's nine premier events.

The achievement would be so unprecedented, that we don't even have a name for it!

That's why the ATP World Tour and Western & Southern Open are giving tennis fans the opportunity to name the sweep. So here's your chance to put your stamp on a piece of tennis history.

ATP World Tour

 

[Niraj]

Those aren't too bad. I'm going on the QF day so looks like some good stuff

Ready for Novak to blow it in the final again dude? lol

 

[MIMIC]

Cincy is like the U.S. Open for him. After enough fails, he'll come through eventually

But at the very least, he'll make the final. The only question is who will he face. The draw is basically just like the Wimbledon draw.

Also, Novak plays Nadal in the semis. It's a HC so all bets are on Novak.

If he finds some way to fuck up and lose (like running into the net again!!!) I will rage

 

[szaromir]

Cincy is like the French Open for him. Always trying hard but that's never enough

Fixed

Also, Novak plays Nadal in the semis.

Fingers crossed for a 76 67 76 scoreline, whoever wins needs to bow down to Pospisil in the final

 

[Globox_82]

I think both are playing great tennis, but since it is HC, one of the faster ones. I go with Novak. It's up to him. If he feels the ball like against Gasque he will win. But at the same time I am impressed with Rafa.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I'm grudgingly impressed by how far Nadal is making it into tournaments despite how badly he is playing. I mean, it helps if all you have to play is Levine and Matosevic (lol), but I'm surprised Janowicz lost, in all honesty.

Well he botched the first set tie-break which was more or less his to take I think and after that Nadal had the mental edge. Though I think Janowicz would have steamrolled Nadal had it been in Cincinnati since Nadal has never done particularly well there.

 

[LuuKyK]

The fuck at Li losing to Cirstea. Pretty random, I wonder if Sorana played well or Li played like shit. Or both? lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Canadian vs Canadian violence right now

Cheering for Raonic since he is from Thornhill

I cant watch a Raonic match without tkinking he looks like Kim Clijsters. lmao

Its uncanny.

 

[szaromir]

Pospisil got an early break in the second! I'm hoping he can go through this one, I don't like Raonic.

 

[MIMIC]

Wow. Vasek is one set away from making a Masters final. Would be his first tour final (he has made 17 finals--and won 14 of them--on the challenger circuit, according to Wiki)
