Huh, good to know. I would also say Radwanska benefits more than Li in playing in hot conditions in terms of fitness and composure.

Should be a tense match, though.

I would say it has two advantages. One, you play at 11am period, you don't have to wait after men finish their best of 5 match which can last 60 minutes or 4 hours. Second, in Radwanska's case, given she has very little pace on her shots, playing in faster conditions is slightly more advantageous for her.

Come on Serena, finish Maria in 2 quick sets. I want to see Fed dispatching the servebot.
BTW Kirilenko's boobs have shrunk a little bit over the years, no? Unfortunate side-effect of reducing body fat percentage

 

[Vomiaouaf]

I'm going to take a pee break and when I come back, Federer will be on court.

 

[Hours Left]

2 aces. Interesting.

 

[LuuKyK]

I like that guy that said that Serena has a final boss vibe about her. lol Its really fitting.

But yeah, as cool as it is that her serve is great, it makes the match kinda boring tbh. Its just aces, no game. :S

 

[perfectchaos007]

Well that set was over quickly. Half way to Fed/Raonic!

Geez, that quick? lol

She broke her opponent twice in the set. :x How is that ''no game"?

 

[LuuKyK]

I mean during the game she is serving.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Should be fun to see Fed solve the problem of Raonic's big serve. Very glad Serena is finishing this one up quickly.

 

[perfectchaos007]

6-2, 5-0 currently. Just one more game

WTA should get their own GS a week after the real ones..

You should get a thread a week after the GS just to complain about the WTA.......



(meta complaining about WTA has gotten old)

 

[BigJonsson]

That was fast

Raonic time!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Gilles Simon apparently took a stance on twitter recently, as did Tipsaravic. The equal pay wall is starting to crumble.

 

[seanoff]

the mens tour is so much deeper than the womens by so far it's not even funny.

could you imagine Lucie Safarova pushing Serena like Stan pushed Djoker last night.

no you can't. she'd be lucky to win a game.

Still. We don't need to hear about it so much during the slams. I want to discuss matches....not about how awful the WTA (supposedly) is.

WTA is down but the piling on about how terrible it is is getting ridiculous.

Different taste and all that, but terrible is terrible; can't stop people from voicing their opinions.

At least with people doing the piling then the WTA is forced to actually improve stuff.

lol I don't mind criticism....but there are certain posters who never say ANYTHING about the women's side other than complaining about how terrible they are.

I mean if they don't like women's tennis to begin with why do they care?

 

[szaromir]

Speed up the courts and WTA will be back to its early 2000s glory.

[Master_Funk]

I am a little scared for roger, but I think the court will be slow enough for him to return a decent amount of first serves.

 

[BigJonsson]

238KM/h

holy shit



Raonic putting Thornhill on the map in tennis, soon Andrew Wiggins will put us on the map for basketball

 

[MrCookiepants]

I like that guy that said that Serena has a final boss vibe about her. lol Its really fitting.

I would honestly be more intimidated to play against her than any of the men.

 

[szaromir]

I just noticed that for one of the best servers, Raonic has a very inconsistent ball toss, almost Ivanovic style.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Kind of scared for Federer.

Come on Fed, keep on trucking please!

 

[Sax Russel]

Dem bombs

 

[rangersfan414]

Isner v. Mahut 5 set epic repeat incoming.

Neither Milos or Roger can break serve lol.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Man these type of matches are the worst. haha

Get to the tie breaker already

 

[szaromir]

Isner v. Mahut 5 set epic repeat incoming.

Neither Milos or Roger can break serve lol.

Their matches in Madrid and Halle were tight as hell. This is going to be one nervous morning.

 

[BigJonsson]

Craaaap

 

[Good Job Bob]

TAKE THESE BPS FEDERER!

Edit: 1 saved by an ace

Edit 2: 2nd saved by a big serve :*(

 

[RedAssedApe]

Fed actually got a challenge right!

 

[rangersfan414]

WOW @ Dat Challenge!

Fed actually got a challenge right!

Barely lol

 

[Fix The Scientist]

Does this big dope have any charisma or shot variety? Soooo boring to watch.

 

[BigJonsson]

Wow, nice recovery

 

[perfectchaos007]

Raonic looks like a baby faced male version of Kim Clijsters.

 

[fisheyes]

Since I wasn't online yesterday, I just want to say how good the Djoker / Stan game was last night. I had to get up for work at 6 and I ended up watching it until it ended at 1.15, and I'm exhausted now, but it was totally worth it. I get to sleep in tomorrow, so I'm ready for these two to bring the same standard, thanks

 

[Sax Russel]

Wow Federer

 

[88random]

Roger on a roll, guessing challenges left and right, lol

 

[RedAssedApe]

oh man. how do you even see that. i have trouble seeing lines on like 80mph wide serves lol

 

[szaromir]

YES!

 

[BigJonsson]

He really needs to work on his net game

 

[Good Job Bob]

Federer with 1 unforced error that entire set.

 

[szaromir]

Federer with 1 unforced error that entire set.

He's just hit one on the second point of the second set

 

[Reyne]

A very favorble match-up for Federer, if truth be had. Its not exactly like Raonic is the first guy of his kind that Federer has encountered, and these matches tend to end in the same fashion. The big server starts out with big rockets all over the place, but they eventually lose their pace and is unable to anything.
Roanic, particulary, is also very young and has still a lot to learn.

 

[RedAssedApe]

pretty unimpressed by raonic so far. like isner his return and ground game look like they still need a ton of work.

lol you know fed wants to challenge all of these aces.

That's because she does. She screams COME ON! and I've probably shitted myself on the court.

He can probably improve but I doubt he'll ever be able to consistently rally with the best.

 

[Sax Russel]

This match is so boring, especially compared to the epic of last night -_-

It's Raonic, you should know what to expect: massive serving, one-two punches, short rallies, etc.
