2016 French Open Day 2: Monday, May 23 - Order of Play

[Front242]

Holding off for now. Want to cry tears of joy before heading to the gym if Stan loses. Testosterone will go through the roof

I have this sneaking suspicion Stan will right the ship and win in 5.

Yeah, me too sadly. Definitely after Rosol played a poor service game there. Gym time!

 

[Front242]

If Rosol serves well all set he may well win 'cos Stan's serve can be poor too.

 

[herios]

Raonic is being a melt in this 3rd set. Had 1 match point, lost his serve when serving for the match and then failed to take any of his 3 break points afterwards

I have him to win 3-0

He won in 3-0, taking the third in a tie-break.

 

[Front242]

Stayed home to watch the end and Stan won as expected :nono He looked pathetic out there though.

 

[kskate2]

Stan finally comes through 6-4 in the decider. I think it probably helped him that he played Rosol last week in Geneva. That match likely helped him pull through this one.

 

[Front242]

Definitely gym time now!

 

[kskate2]

Klizan and Dimi both in trouble. They were each up a break in the 4th set leading 4-2 and now they are in a 5th set decider

 

[Front242]

Seems Klizan retired due to injury as live scores show Daniel won.

 

[kskate2]

I see that now. Retired down 0-3 in the decider. On court 3 Dimi is now down 4-1 after leading 2 sets to one and a break.

Dustin Brown won his marathon match against Sela

First seed gone. Steve Johnson eliminated by Fernando Verdasco.

 

[El Dude]

Dimitrov has become such a joke. What a shame.

I was surprised to see Janko Tipsarevic - I thought he had quietly retired.

Why hasn't Lukas Rosol won more? He seems more dangerous than his usual ranking would imply.

I watched Tipsy vs. Milos. They mentioned in more detail what kind of surgeries he has had. That was some serious stuff, which probably would have sent many in retirement.
He had multiple surgeries removing tumors of his leg.
During his rehab, he was practicing shots in wheelchair!!!
Now that is commitment and determination. he has earned my respect.

Oh Dimi, you really are a shunt

Troicki was a top ten player, I actually picked him to win in my draw challenge.

Radek up a break early in the first set against Muzzard
