Inver Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Only caught the lasat bit of the 2nd game when Murray was fighting to go to the 3rd game. Phew.....and then what a turnaround for the 3rd. Well done Andy too on getting to No.2!! Quote
blithe Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 The Federer vs Tommy Robredo match is starting. Hope it's a good match. Quote
DanC_84 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 The Federer vs Tommy Robredo match is starting. Hope it's a good match. Roger is just so good on this surface. So few can stay with him for more than half a set on it. Quote
blithe Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Roger is just so good on this surface. So few can stay with him for more than half a set on it. Yeah, once Federer got warmed up there was no stopping him. Quote
DanC_84 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Just wanted to say congrats to JM Del Potro. He just defeated Roger in the final of the US Open to take his first Slam. At just 20 this guy is a special player and could well be the next dominant force on the Men's tour after Federer. Quote
Inver Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Wasn't he amazing for 20 to achieve that at such a young age. Def one to watch. Quote
Ophelia Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I agree, he was fantastic. Roll on the Aussie Open! Quote
DanC_84 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Wasn't he amazing for 20 to achieve that at such a young age. Def one to watch. I remember seeing him when he was 17 and thinking he was going to be special. I saw him live at the Australian Open at the beginning of this year and he was one of the sweetest hitters of the ball there. Still, his development this year has been significant. At the start of the year he was a top 10 player but a guy who didn't really have what it took to beat the best. Federer anhilated him at the Australian, it was a slaughter. Now he is beating the top few in the world and winning a Slam. Great stuff, definately a guy who will be a significant force over the next 10 years. Also, just on a side note, Federer accepted defeat with the grace of the true champion he is. Said he had his chances, gave it his best but Del Potro was just the better man. Credit to Roger, what a great year he has had. After so many wrote him off at the beginning of the year he has gone on to win 2 of the 4 Slams, losing in 5 set finals in the other two, and recapture his number 1 ranking. Quote

That was so nice of Federer not many people do that anymore. Quote
Inver Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Anyone else viewing the tennis with Andy Murray v Fed at the moment! Go Andy....random time of year for tennis! Quote
DanC_84 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 WAR ROGER!!!!!! The Express thrashed Murray in the third, 6-1. Good to see. Quote
Book Fiend Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Is anybody watching / following the Australian Open? (I have to mostly follow it on the internet because of the time difference ) I think the men's draw is pretty open this year. Who do you think will win? Personally I'm hoping for another Federer-Nadal final, with Federer triumphing this time! Revenge for last year! Having said that I think Djokovic, Del Potro, Davydenko and (grudgingly) Murray are all in with a shot. Should be interesting! Quote
Ophelia Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I'm watching some of it, enjoying it too. Shame about Baghdatis having to retire. Hoping for an Isner win later Quote
Book Fiend Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I'm watching some of it, enjoying it too. Shame about Baghdatis having to retire. Hoping for an Isner win later I was really disappointed about Baghdatis as well. I got up early especially to watch it! Yeah, go Isner!! Quote
miltenburg Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 We love it in this household, it was very disappointing for Baghdatis. I'm interested to see how far Tsonga can go too! I'm really enjoying the Women's tennis this year. Quote
Ophelia Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Yeah, go Isner!! Ah well, it wasn't to be (this time) Quote
Book Fiend Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Did anybody watch Roddick-Gonzalez earlier?? That was the best match I've seen in ages! I was so disappointed that Gonzalez didn't win. I think he deserved it, he played amazingly well!! Too bad about Murray. Never mind, Nadal up next for him which will be the first challenge he's really had. Go Nadal!! Quote

Just watching the Federer match and he's looking good. Quote

I'm really enjoying the Women's tennis this year. Cracking match that Tsonga was involved in to get to the quarter finals. He's up against Djokovic next, though. Quote
Inver Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Watching Murray v Nadal at the moment....good game so far......Go Andy. Quote
Ophelia Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Not looking good for Nadal so far. Come on Rafa! Quote
catwoman Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Such a shame that Rafa had to go out when he did, but I am really happy that Murray is through. He did deserve to win. What a fantastic match! Quote
Inver Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 What a shame I was really enjoying the match. Feel sorry for Rafa too, but probably the most sensible thing to do, hope it doesn't ruin his season of tennis again. Well done Andy though..... Quote
Ophelia Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Poor Rafa. I think that the way he plays must put enormous strain on his body. It has taken its toll and I don't think he will ever be the player he was a couple of years ago. It wouldn't suprise me if he retired in the near future Quote
