Gulbis double-faulted a whole game? uzzled

Yes...

Without ANY prompting from me, my father comments on the size of Raonic's nostrils.

Not missing a beat my son replies, "That's where he stores the spare ball when he's serving."

Yes...

:snigger

I wonder if that's a world record...outside of parks tennis or the WTA?

Nope. It was equalled by Dimitrov earlier this year. Both pretty dire breakdowns.

Sorry, but WTF is Novak doing here? If I was the guy he just beat, I think I'd have afew suggestions for where he could shove that wig...

Something to do with a French(?) group who wrote this year's hit, "Get Lucky". Novak donned the wig and danced with the tournament mascot - a tennis ball. Istomin stayed on the court to watch and was laughing as he left.

It's great the way these chaps can chuckle when they lose. It looks appalling, imho. Never saw a great champ do stuff like that...

Poor Istomin probably thought he was taking the piss outta him with that wig. Looks not a million miles from Denis' own hair

Istomin has some seriously curly hair.

What a weird match...no rhythm to it whatsoever. Gulbis gifts a game to Milos with a bunch of doubles, Milos hands it right back , says no thanks.
A Canuck in the final, guaranteed...That's pretty cool, considering the Davis Cup team is doing well too. Future might be bright in these parts.

Some players have more fun than rafa!

A true shame that Ernie lost to the scum. But that's why Ernie is what he is, just a dangerous player without much hopes to be near the top.

Yeah, he's another one of those players with talent and potential who never consistently gets it together enough to capitalize on them. He's something akin to a B version of Berdych, another big guy with easy power.

Is no one broadcasting the Djokovic match?! It's not on ESPN2, who aired the first 2 matches today. I just turned to the Tennis Channel, and they were showing an old doubles match.


EDIT: I found it on ESPN's live streaming site:

Nole obviously not planning to stay out on the court too long tonight.

 

[tented]

Djokovic get the first set 6-1. That was fast.

 

[herios]

This is more like it by Novak, but I have to say when he plays Richie I feel more comfortable than against other players less accomplished.

This is a demonstration that Novak doesn't need to bring his A game in order to beat all but a few guys.

Nole obviously not planning to stay out on the court too long tonight.

Gasquet also co-operates, with his 2 DF and to give a quick break in the second set to Novak.
He could be also anxious to see Nole's next dance routine
