Indian Wells

[Denis]

Way to serve for your first ever Masters 1000 semi. Great performance by Dolgo and a nice friendly mutual respect at the net at the end.

Yeah, looked like Milos was genuinely impressed by Dolgopolov, he was pretty much in every serve game of Milos in the second set. No small feat.

Snowbirds from Canada are bumming right about now... congratulations Dolgo!

the snowbirds from canada are bumming are they ? :snigger oo-er. :blush:

 

[Denis]

So where the hell did Dolgopolov find his form all of a sudden again? He's been crap for over a year now, and all of a sudden he's beating everyone.

Apparently he was unwell. Obviously, he's feeling better. Hope he stays that way. Great win!

Ah okay, hopefully nothing serious. I wonder if Fed will be able to cope with the pace.

the dog bounds into the semis.

Well done!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. When you manage to be very much in every one of a big server's service games they crumble with their biggest weapon neutralized.

Yeah, remember reading about his health issues and here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

"Dolgopolov suffers from a hereditary disorder known as Gilbert's Syndrome, which affects his liver, blood and often causes fatigue. His condition worsens when he has to cross continents in extensive travel, requiring intravenous drug treatments and monitored diets to get himself back on track"

Yeah, although Milos does look like he moves better than before. I remember last years match against Federer at the AO, that was appalling. Would be nice to see if all of these guys can keep it up.

Think I'll watch sexy Flavia Pennetta v Sloane Stephens now.

Man, that sounds like not something you want if you're a professional tennis player. Good that he's okay now.

 

[Front242]

^ Sounds like Venus Williams condition actually or bad intermittent mono.

 

[Front242]

I know this is ATP but my stream moved straight to Flavia Pennetta's match and they said Simona Halep will enter the top 5 next week. Incredible progress in the rankings.

 

[nehmeth]

Good vibes and lots of excitement in the ATP with all these guys stepping up their game. (Bet El Dude is chuffed to see the "up and comers" actually making noise.) Hopefully this will continue throughout the year.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, hope so too. Definitely things are more exciting this year.

Doesn't hurt that Roger is looking fit and hitting well!

yes looks like one or two "up n comers" have "gained half a step"..:snigger or at least improved their mental outlook and approach.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, delighted to see him playing and especially moving so well. Well exceeded my expectations for the year so far. Glad the normal level is higher than the first set of the Brisbane final for sure

 

[I.Haychew]

Of "The Big Phour", I've always pulled phor Phed. However, I'm an underdog type of guy, and Anderson is one of my phaves, so I have to pull phor Anderson to pull oph the upset. GO K.A.!!!

 

[Front242]

Phor real, homes. Phortune phavours the brave although he'll have his work cut out for him phor sure against Phederer.

 

[Front242]

Your best hope is that Phederer phella phucks up his serve pherociously
