C'mon, Polish Armada in 10 sets!

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Robson isn't doing bad for someone who, according to reports, doesn't train as much as she should. 19 and in the second week? More than any of us expected.

Gone are the days of 18 year olds winning slams. At least for the time being.

It shows in this match.

Amazing talent, not put to good use. Andy Murray had a similar problem, after years of mental conditioning to make him tougher and physical training he won a GS. Hopefully Miles Maclagan can do the same for Robson, because right now she is going to lose this. Complete choke at 5-2 up in the tie breaker.

 

[Saty]

Serena-Liscki 3rd set will be up to grabs.

From what I've heard is that she has had a lot of injury problems. I think this is the first season she's had without any injuries.

 

[John Dunbar]

50 winners for ferrer. pretty good for a player with no weapons.

 

[zero_suit]

Dat netcord

 

[Deleted member 231381]

American netcord.

 

[MiKeD]

34 mins for 3 games...wow.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Sabine's fucked it.

Damn.

Kanepi herself is (or maybe was at this point) considered an amazing talent but also a notorious choker (and she's had a ton of injuries). Still anything can happen in that match.

 

[zero_suit]

You have to beat Serena in 2 sets.

 

[Akito]

Show's over

 

[killer_clank]

Robson going down.

 

[John Dunbar]

lisicki broken from 40-0. if it wasn't over before, it surely is now.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Laura's fucked it.

Andy save us.

 

[zero_suit]

Robson

 

[Saty]

The 2 net-caughts on gamepoint pretty much decided the rest of the set.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

LOL, Serena has Acclaim MK Shao Khan AI. When she is on the ropes, all sorts of cheating, rubberbanding AI shit starts to happen but in real life and the competitor just has to feel hopeless in watching it unfold.

 

[LuuKyK]

Lolra Robson.

Also, that netcord favoring Serena. Poor Sabine. At least you won a set.

 

[MiKeD]

HAHA. DAT First serve toss.

 

[Vivalaraza]

What was Kanepi doing there!?

 

[killer_clank]

Minor stay of execution here for Robson after a mini choke.

Well, there she goes. Robson absolutely deserved to lose that one, luck catching up to her after that last match. Totally threw it away though, those chokes in the first set were horrendous.

 

[Akito]

Bagel denied
Next stop: preventing the breadstick

 

[zero_suit]

Robson looks like she's about to cry.

 

[3Sixty]

Poor Laura.

Absolute bottle job in that 1st set though.

 

[Ravensmash]

Robson :'[

As commentator said though, she'll be richer for the experience. She's still so young and is constantly improving her game.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

What a terrible loss for Laura. Played better on all the points except the important ones, where she absolutely bottled it. Real shame.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Laura needs to learn from this experience. Train harder and get some mental toughness. No more chokes. After being a break up in the first set and 5-2 up in the tie breaker, to then lose it was unforgivable for any professional. She is young though and has time on her side, I can see the makings of a champion but she needs to work and train much harder to realise that. That choke on her final service game was also bad, but it's really the same point, she needs to get tough.

Still a great run for her IMO, making the fourth round is nothing to sniff at.

Line-judge mode has just been activated aswell lol

 

[killer_clank]

[zero_suit]

Lisicki delaying the inevitable...

 

[LuuKyK]

Sabine breaks back. lol

 

[killer_clank]

Lisicki

 

[killer_clank]

Lisicki!

 

[3Sixty]

It's raining breaks.

 

[Ushojax]

That was like watching a tree fall over. Come on Sabine!

 

[Sax Russel]

Janowicz through! Now time for Kubot to setup the all Polish QF woo.

Since we're all coming out and all, I'm full Polish too! =P

 

[LuuKyK]

Oh wow... Can she hold now?

 

[zero_suit]

Lisicki!

You're funny.

 

[MiKeD]

Lisicki

It's still women's tennis. Breaks aplenty.

 

[krYlon]

Janowicz thinks he's won Wimbledon!

 

[Akito]

My heart can't take this

 

[John Dunbar]

It's still women's tennis. Breaks aplenty.

but espn told me serena serves better than murray.

 

[MiKeD]

but espn told me serena serves better than murray.

:lol

 

[krYlon]

To be fair to Jerzy, he played really well in the 5th set, and it's good to see it means so much to him. This guy is the real deal.

 

[MiKeD]

So it'll be Poland vs. Murray. Jan Tomaszewski V2 PLEASE. (Even if it's Scotland).

 

[hadareud]

Melzer is such a useless old zipf.

 

[Saty]

Here we go, Pironkova does nothing all year long only to show up on the grass.

 

[tycoonheart]

Come on Lisicki. Break here.

 

[Niraj]

Melzer is such a useless old zipf.

But dude, he's a better returner than Federer.
