Indian Wells

[Moxie]

Isner takes the first set. Deserved I must say, stepped up in the tie-break.

Yes, but who likes to play a TB v. Isner? One mistake and you can be toast.

It completely sucks to play Isner in any event. There is not much Earnie can do, but keep his cool and that is not exactly the strongest part of his game.

Exactly. Much touting of his new calm. We shall see if he keeps it together.

 

[Denis]

Break consolidated.

 

[kskate2]

So far so good. He consolidates. 2-0

 

[kskate2]

So Novak swept Jullien, huh? He's probably hoping Ernie takes out Iznah. Couple of errors and 2 BP's for John

Yeah, no need to worry you missed it. Novak said in the postmatch interview he didn't have a preference, but I think you're 100% right.

Hi K!

Was making supper for my father and didn't see Isner almost break.

Yo Frontiersmen, Mox and GG. Ernie w/ the early break at love

Hey KS,
OT: your Bulls made the Rockets look like chumps yesterday, eh?

 

[nehmeth]

Ern could be down break points again if he doesn't watch.

 

[kskate2]

Yeh. Ernie saves em, but it's safe to say every service game will be a battle as John will be looking to get back on serve.

 

[Front242]

Come on Ernie you total

 

[Front242]

Jesus man :nono

 

[Front242]

Well done. Nice.

They have that ability GG. One day they can open a can of whoop a$$ and the next day they can get blown out by the Bucks. Infuriating team really...Much like some tennis players, right? :snigger

 

[golds girl]

Isner's matches wouldn't go to tiebreaks so often if he would just practice his ROS.

Ern's serve percentage is way down... not a good time for that.

 

[kskate2]

Jesus man :nono

Not Jesus. :nono But John this time.

 

[Front242]

Gulbis conquers his inner Gonzo. Well done.

 

[nehmeth]

Gulbis hits a drop shot an arthritic granny in a wheelchair could get to... but not Isner :nono

 

[Denis]

Excellent. 4-2. Impressed with Gulbis' mentality, things have changed.

He does practice it GG. For about 5 min. Then spends an hour on his service motion. uzzled
