Barcelona 500 - 18th April to 24th April 2016

[Front242]

Buddy, we're trying to save you from embarrassment. You're predictable as clockwork. Soon as Rafa rises, you emerge with your incoherent insinuations, your dizzy stream of bile, your "mono"-eyed attack on one player, while being completely inconsistent when the same illogical method is turned on your favourite.

It's officially boring, because it's so base and childish. Try stick to something you half-know about, eh? Tennis...

EDIT: Oh, and yeah, the weather is fabulous! I got a bit of colour yesterday, walking along the sea. long may it last...

What's inconsistent about it? Federer played a long match against Monfils at the 2014 USO and you saw how he looked against juice boy Cilic next match, right? Flat as a pancake. He wasn't beating juice boy that tournament anyway, no one was. The longest 3 setter ever played at the Olympics v Del Potro, 19-17 in the 3rd set. Gee, guess what, he was knackered against Murray in the final. This is natural, the way any normal non juiced/doped player would be after a long, gruelling match. Likewise Roger tanking 2 sets in the USO semi against Novak by his own admission to save energy for a 5th set. Juiceheads don't need to do this. Every big tournament we say the same thing: to do well at the slams or go deep at any tough event, masters 1000 etc, Federer NEEDS to win fast and easily to be fresh for the next match 'cos he tires normally. This is the complete opposite of the 2 guys Murray is suspicious of and rightly so. There is nothing inconsistent about anything I'm saying. But there's everything wrong with changing the subject and trying to hope we all fail to notice what's in front of us when we see Duracell bunnies running endlessly match after match with no sign of tiring. The Nadal camp may be blind, naive and downright stupid, but the rest of us aren't.

Of course Roger has played many times many hours but I think Front has very mad memory....poor thing.....:cover :cry

Carol, AP, Kieran, Federer has played I believe his longest match against Andy Roddick (at Wimbledon 2009) who some of you slag but I still regard as a prior very good player. Anyway, Roger has never played a 6 hour match and any time he did play a very long match he usually lost the next. This is the polar opposite of the two players Murray is talking about and you know it. Go like that one too. Oops, no don't, 'cos you can't like anything slagging Nadal even if it's 100% true and factual. It's like we're detractors/haters/"antis" when us Federer fans say something true about Nadal that you don't like. The truth hurts.

The truth? what truth? the only thing that I can't stand is the poor reaction of some Federer's fanatics which have tried to discredit Rafa since the first time that he did beat Federer when this one was in the top of the mountain and those hysterics fans couldn't accept and believe that that extraordinary young player could do it and then it's when they started to talk garbage and still they do, unacceptable and showing a very low level of fans

Carol let's be political correct about this , "radical Fed fans ". They know who they are . Rabid Djokovic fans. They know who they are. Everytime Rafa pulls at his trousers , these posts come flooding in . That's why I respect Darth, he just wished Rafa 's parents had NEVER met each other so Rafael would have NEVER existed ::snicker

Anyway, early night for me for once but I'll leave with a rare compliment for Nadal. He hit 2 winners in the first set today :snicker Good going!

He only needed two.

In the second set, once he let him back in, FFS hit some beauties. Shots from everywhere. But this time Rafa regrouped. All a good sign heading towards Paris...

At this point, I'm curious to see Nadal-Nishikori final. I want to see on how both players fare against each other. In addition, this match can be a good gauge going into RG.

I have to admit, Rafa's looking a lot tougher to beat; Kei might not have a chance! :nono :cover :cry

It's not too late to come and join us, buddy. Fill in the same forms you filled to transfer from Federer to Djoker, and you can be on our team too! Get in quick, before it gets fashionable! :devil

 

[Kieran]

Kei is keeping his end of the deal, up a set and 4-2...

Paire clowns around on the court during his matches, he plays with a lot of drop / trick shots . However he doesn't get ridiculed as much as Gael does . I wonder why some of French guys tries to be showman instead of ball bashers like JowillieTs

 

[Front242]

I like Benneteau's game as French players go. Pity his last injury set him back a lot and sadly at 34 his days are numbered now. Shocking record in finals and feel sorry for him for never winning a title as he's a good player and has challenged a lot of the top guys on numerous occasions. Used to love Llodra's aggressive serve and volley game too.

They have a sorry history in this regard, with the unlamented and completely unfunny clown Henri Leconte being just one of the most irritating examples...

Probably just about right, too. If I see another snoozy exo with him pulling his shorts up around his moobs and gurning like a simpleton, I'll ace the telly with a pickaxe...

 

[Front242]

Right, time for tennis! Only had the last match on as background viewing but planning to watch this one as I like Kohlschreiber's crafty game. Though I doubt it'll happen: let's go Kohli, kick his holie :snicker

 

[Kieran]

let's go Kohli, kick his holie :snicker

It'll be more like, Rafa'll pick his holie while he's kicking Kohli... :laydownlaughing

Sadly probably :nono

 

[Front242]

Crap match so far. Poor from both guys. Way too much slop.

An unfunny clown,

I felt the same way, I thought HL was overrated and wasn't funny either

 

[Front242]

What a poor match. Whenever either guy has had chances in their opponent's service games they've screwed up by hitting lame errors to lose the game and also when up on their own service games. Sloppy. They can both play much better than this. Hoping for a much better final. That last game was a prime example. Well in control of his own service game and ends up losing the match on that service game. Lame. Hope Nishikori turns up to play. 17 winners to 37 unforced errors for Kohlschreiber. That's fugly.
