Great game. I missed tennis. Hope Monfils makes it through. Fucking crazy that del potro is out.

Between that 47 shot rally for dice, Monfils little pick me up from the audience, long rallies and weird sounding grunts yup it's quite a match

Yup.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Monfils gonna throw this game away.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

[Akito]

Unbelievable

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Monfils =(

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Not many people watching this game I guess?

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

5-5!!!! wow!

 

[Coldnoodle]

[Rocket Scientist]

The goat.

 

[Coldnoodle]

ALLEZ GAEL

[Rocket Scientist]

OHMYFUCKINGGOD

Edit: oeps.. I'm out of this thread before I get banned for double posting.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Woohoooooo. I'm calling Monfils 9-7.

 

[clemenx]

Reading about this match but want watch it. I don't know if I should be glad or sad about that.

 

[Akito]

Well shit, Simon is in front again

 

[Pachael]

Lost count how many games each of them broke each other this set. Hold ya serve!

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

oh my what an ugly error by monfils

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Yup games over for Monfils. God dammit he's worse than Federer.

 

[Akito]

Great fight from both players, secret winner is Murray :lol

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

damn the way they were playing I was expecting a 30-28 final set. that match took a complete 180 in just a few minutes.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

=(

 

[Coldnoodle]

Go home Monfils.

 

[Saty]

What a 5th set.

 

[Timbuktu]

Great fight from both players, secret winner is Murray :lol

And he probably isn't even awake for most of this.

 

[clemenx]

If Monfils can't even get his brain working against a crippled Simon there's no hope for him.

 

[Niraj]

Wow can't believe Monfils made it to a fifth set. Murray has to be loving his life. Maybe Chardy will take him out

 

[histopher]

That was infuriating to watch.just errors all over the shop from both players.had 5 whole dollars riding on Monfils too...damnit.
No way in hell can Murray lose to Simon now

The longest rally ever in a grand slam is the 86 shots between Vilas and and Borg in 1978's RG.

Delpo actually turned it into a five setter? Jeez, should've kept watching, did he actually go back to his top level during set 3 or just sorta grind it through?

Was there live. Chardy should have finished him in the 3rd but missed his chances and faltered in the tiebreak. Del Potro never really got going, match was always on Chardy's terms.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Hoping Nishikori comes through against Ferrer today.

Same. Think he would have a good chance to reach the semis in that case.

Thank you for this. Lord knows I looked on youtube earlier to no avail.

I think he'll make it past Ferrer.

Makarova was up two breaks. Now it's 5-5 after she wasted two set points. Bleh.

Edit: Breaks back and will have another shot at it.

Kebab has been pretty flat this season so far.

Should have won the second set. Didn't really play her best tennis today.

 

[szaromir]

There's only one singles match (men or women) going on at the moment, the insanity of the first week of a slam is over.

It is sad how everything calms down.

With that said lets go Nishikori!

 

[Niraj]

Ugh dammit Kei

 

[LuuKyK]

Kei

 

[Good Job Bob]

Damn, he's had so many chances to break as well.

He's really good off the ground, if only he had a serve.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Nishikori needs to attack more.
