Indian Wells

Phederer vs. Haas: Old man in straights.

They're both old and Haas is older

Julien B and Lopez aren't beginners either...IW is a nice place for old guys !!

The whole world is a better place for olders.
There are 34 guys 30y and over in the top 100, which tops what I have counted about 2 years ago when I counted 31. And in the meantime we had more than 20 players retired in the last 2 years.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos-Murray on serve, 2-1 for Milos.

 

[nehmeth]

I was thinking Raonic was looking slimmer and the commentators said he's lost 11lbs or so.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great DTL backhand from Milos. If he can hit that regularly...

 

[kskate2]

Dog gets the early break 2-0

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Murray's second serve is unacceptable.

 

[nehmeth]

Murray's second serve is unacceptable.

I'm thinking if his serve % drops off at all Raonic has a very good opportunity to upset.

Dolgo doesn't seem to be having a letdown today.

 

[kskate2]

Murray's second serve is unacceptable.

Yep. It's pretty bad. And I feel since the comeback he isn't getting the pop on the 1st serve either, which really presents problems.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos has hit some amazing returns today, got in Murray's serving games, but now he is down 0-30.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

and out of nowhere, Murray breaks. Did not look like it at all.

 

[kskate2]

A few errors from Milos leads to the break. Andy will serve for the set 5-4

 

[kskate2]

Wow that Raonic FH has really went south. Andy takes the set w/ a love game 6-4. Meanwhile Dog is on a mission and F3 looks disiniterested as usual 6-2 1-0

 

[ftan]

For some reason my ESPN3 streams have died:huh:

 

[nehmeth]

Wow that Raonic FH has really went south.

It's just ugly.

God, but I hate Murray's on court eruptions. Uglier than Raonic's errant forehands by far.

 

[nehmeth]

Murray turning it on again here at 3 all. Has Raonic down 0-30, 2nd serve.

 

[kskate2]

Milos holds 4-3. Dog/F3 holding comfortably 4-4 in the 2nd

 

[nehmeth]

Sometimes it seems Milos is almost as slow moving as a Mob informant with his feet in cement.

edit: The Dog wins... backing up his victory over Ralf.

 

[kskate2]

Dog eats fabulous one on his 2nd MP 6-2 6-4

 

[Front242]

Just home and gotta tune in now for action. Looking forward to Federer v Haas later. How come Gulbis is playing again today?

 

[nehmeth]

0-40! 3 set points for snout!!

Break and set to Raonic. Nice.
