CANADIAN MASTERS 2013 MONTREAL 2-11 August

wtf is this with No1e? jet leg?

He looks a little sweaty, uncharacteristically. Perhaps unwell? Surely he's not playing his game.

He seems in hurry to join his pal Murray so they walk their poodles together.

By the way, Nadal just pulled out of his doubles match. Looks like Djokovic got the "virus" from the other top players too.

timmy mallet or dierdrie barlow..or its brian jacks hair from superstars1980.

Its the lets get sweaty edition starring Denis Istomin.

I blame Djokovic's hair. New fringe is probably ruining his concentration. Everybody is blaming Fed's back lately but lets face it, same thing with him and his haircut. He's been crap ever since that haircut

The thing is Muhammed was watching the ball and trying to see Milos at the same time.He has to watch the ball to see if it is dead, meaning bounced twice, and see if Milos is touching the net. It can get tricky there because those two things are happening really far from each other. I think it was on Milos to give the point to Delpo.

I replayed it in slow motion several times, and you're exactly right. Muhammed was watching the ball on DP's side, which was when Raonic's shoe hit the net. By the time Muhammed turned his head towards the net, Milos had pulled back his foot. There's no doubt the umpire did not see Milos touch the net. And, as you mentioned before, he can't reverse the call based on the replay on the screen.

What needed to happen was for Raonic to admit he did it, because the umpire was watching the ball, and didn't see it. It's that simple.

 

[Mastoor]

I am hoping he will wake up before it is too late.

I don't like to say it of a pretty young career, but this is a blight. He knows he touched the net. I know he's ambitious, but win fairly.

And the beast is back

 

[Didi]

If Nole goes out, for the first time ever we will have a masters quarterfinal with 2 top ten players left. Now THAT would be the stuff of dreams not even Uwe Boll and Michael Bay combined could have come up with. :laydownlaughing

 

[tented]

I am hoping he will wake up before it is too late.

You got your wish, Mastoor! He broke back.

This set will be over in 10-15 minutes, then Novak will storm through the third.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

djokovic breaks..and the comeback is ON

I didn't know that. Odd. But it won't happen. Djokovic is going to win this match.

 

[ClayDeath]

How's going Samson?

going well general mastoorian.


your player is starting to find his range.


bad news for istomin.

Quite likely. A shame if Istomin can't keep up his high level though. Even if Djokovic has been pretty subdued, I'd like to see Istomin playing well a bit longer.

 

[ClayDeath]

I am wondering if istomin is going to be able to win a single game now.

Interesting fact, but yes, agreed. Djokovic will right the ship. Istomin just did the classic version of blowing it all in the first set. He'll run out of ideas.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

ISTomins idea is to confuse djoko by looking a bit silly.

 

[ClayDeath]

its all over. turn out the lights. the party is over.

nole is just a machine that wont quit and wont stop running.

 

[ClayDeath]

istomin should have dressed like a color blind circus clown. that is good for a game or two alone.
