2014 Roger's Cup Toronto

[Murat Baslamisli]

BP numero 8 for Milos. Saved with another big serve...man...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

9th BP coming up for Milos this game. Nope...This is a bit like Last night, no?

 

[Moxie]

9 Bps saved to hold!

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Come on Feli!

 

[Moxie]

And now Lopez holds quickly. Back on track.

 

[Moxie]

Really tight game from Milos and Lopez breaks and serves for it.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Lopez breaks, will serve for it...sloppy game from Milos looks like will cost him dearly.

Mauresmo's twin brother takes down the #2 player in Monaco. :clap


(was that Murray's Mum cheering?)

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Yeeees Feli! What a sexy set of semi finalist, Tsonga, Dimitrov, Lopez and hopefully Federer.

 

[El Dude]

I'm not watching the match but I've been wondering lately, why hasn't Feliciano Lopez had a better career? He's had a pretty good one but never made it to a Slam SF or a Masters Final. He seems better than that.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Lopez. That game he saved 9 BPs was just huge. Milos off to Cincy.

All Spanish semi or a Swiss dude will have something to say about it?

 

[Moxie]

Wow…big win for Feliciano. Two in a row. Not so much a mental midget, eh, herios? Actually, sorry to our Canadian friends.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos-Roger semi would have divided the crowd right in the middle tomorrow night and it would have been electric, but as they say, life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. Let's see if David can come up with the goods...

He's a chronic choker. Glad he won this one though. My damn connection has been offline for over an hour so I missed the end. He played great though.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Absolutely horrendous, terrible loss after leading 3-0 in the decider, this isn't Nadal or Djokovic across the net either. Sickening, go and sort that head out Andy.

Hopefully Tsonga can go on and make the final or even win it.

I am fuming right now though, time to go out for some beers and forget about that.

I feel the same to be honest. Tsonga served huge today but Andy should never have let him back in that 3rd set. An inexplicable loss.

Roll on Cincy I guess.

What on earth is happening with our guy Iona? The game is pretty much there, but several times this season he toughs it out, gets into a winning position in an important set (Deciding set against Milos in Indian Wells, second set against Novak in Miami, deciding set against Nadal in Rome, and now deciding set against Tsonga in Toronto) and then goes walkabouts and loses the match? Devastating ....

He would have a tough time closing out matches... nerves would get him, and he'd chunk it when the match was in his hands. Can't tell you how many times I watched him do it. This was a big win for him tonight.

True enough. I really thought he had Dimitrov in the Queens final, but blew it. In a perhaps reverse-Samson effect, that prison haircut seems to have made him stronger and more focused.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Weak start from David, gets broken to love.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Daveed gets broken in the first game after less than two minutes. That 0-14 record weighing on his mind perhaps?

Almost as embarrassing as Berdy's 17-18 consecutive losses to Rafa

He did have Dimitrov in Queens.... right up until that point where he didn't.
