2014 Roland Garros QF: Berdych vs. Gulbis

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

ok seeing as gulbis back from the dead..(or Federer wasting 2set lead with that sh!te overhead), he might as well beat skeletor as well,

gulbis in a major SF would qualify these days as a "young gun breakthrough" even though he is pushing 26 sometime this summer/autumn. middle aged gun ?.

Nuts Ernie hopefully (if he's not injured)

Middle-aged, nut-job gun break through. As much as I like Tomas this would be a vindication of sorts for Ernie, and his rededication to the sport.

This could be 5 sets, but Berd is just a tad too consistent for Ernie right now.

 

[kskate2]

First blood to Ernie. Gets the early break 2-0

 

[kskate2]

Berd is getting his a$$ kicked all over Lenglen. 4-0

 

[crystalfire]

Looks like gulbis is playing well

 

[kskate2]

Gets one of the breaks back and then holds 4-2

 

[kskate2]

Ernie holds for 5-2

 

[kskate2]

Ernie grabs the set 6-3

 

[kskate2]

Already up a set and a break at 6-3 2-0, Ernie just misses the line wide to push another break. Berd holds 2-1

 

[kskate2]

I thought this could go 5 sets, but it doesn't look like Ernie is in favor of that plan. Up a double break in the 2nd 4-1

 

[kskate2]

5-1 now. some interesting stats. Ernie is winning 75% of hist first serve in set 1 and 90% in set 2.

 

[kskate2]

Ernie up 2 sets to nil. His serve is on fire. Don't know if Berd can turn this around.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Its sad to watch my underdawg Berdych getting whipped like this.. He needs to stay on Ernie's fh because his bh is his most consistent stroke.

 

[Riotbeard]

Just two more holds Ernie!

 

[Rose]

Has Ernie really finally learned to play tennis? Wait I guess that question should be has Ernie finally really decided to dedicated himself to tennis? He has always had the talent!

 

[kskate2]

I'm really happy that Ernie came through. A slam SF. He's never been to one and boy did he show up in this tournament, beating some really good players along the way. Much congrats on a job well done! :clap

Happy for him too. He has earned it. Back to back top 10 wins.
