Internazionali BNL d'Italia- Rome ATP1000 - 14th May to 21st May

[Shivashish Sarkar]

It is all speculation, of course - so who knows. I think we both agree that Rafa and Roger are both primarily focused on Slams. But what I'm saying is that where Roger might be, say, 95% about Slams and 5% about other accomplishments, Rafa is more like 90% about Slams and 10% about other accomplishments, especially WTF...or something like that (the exact numbers are unimportant and clearly artificial, but are meant only to illustrate a point).

But he clearly is already very close to qualifying for WTF. In fact even before Madrid, I think he was on track already. As far as the WTF seeding is concerned, I don't think any particular permutation will have any real consequences on the quality of groups. I think seeding would only have a psychological effect.

Question, there is one way to show the live scores like TennisFrontier did before?

I guess Murray has been elevated to a Deity in GB! Wins Wimbledon a couple times, takes them to a Davis Cup victory, and has inspired a new generation of British players out of nowhere! Wade did her part for the women years ago with Barker, Durie, and a few others, but the men have been so lacking, they hired a Canadian mercenary in the 90's whose mom just happens to be British; Greg Rusedski! "Imma scaird!" The men (Evan, Edmunds, and Jamie of course excelling in doubles) have been really making noise; seeing them playing top flight matches against the best in the world! Now Bedene is making his debut against Nole today in Rome! Took him to a 1st set TB at least! :sleep:

A couple of milestones today: 600th career win for Berdych and 700th for Ferrer. And Djokovic didn't shake the chair umpire's hand. Did anyone see what that might have been about?

I'm still wondering! We must have missed some bad officiating! I still couldn't believe that miss right in front of the chair that had to be corrected and replayed! The ball couldn't have been falling any slower and that woman just blew it! Bedene didn't give her a hard time; lucky her! How embarrassing! :scratch:

Who do you think has more possibilities to win Roma? maybe Thiem?

 

[Carol]

Murray is being schooled by Fogna. The Italian is firing on all cylinders.

Gooo Muzz, wake up!

Fog takes the first set 6-2.

And 2-1 in the second and now serving, Fog is on fire and the crowd too

Murray in real trouble. And you're right, Carol...Fabio is playing great today. 4-1 in the second...he just broke again!

Yep, he is playing really well :bloodsucker1:

I debated this match in my draw and picked Murray, figuring there was half a chance that Fabio would have to withdraw due to baby duty. Maybe the distraction has relaxed him into playing his best.

When the baby Is due?

 

[Moxie]

This weekend. Fabio is playing out of his mind.

 

[Carol]

My goodness, what a beating, 6-2 and probably another 6-2

If I remember well Fog was the only one who made Rafa to play three sets in Madrid
