Paris BNP Paribas Masters - Oct. 28-Nov. 3

[NADAL2005RG]

And I think the fringe ballgirl has left the court. I only saw her very early in the match. She was going all day before this.....so well earned break. Fringe was the star of Roland Garros btw-

Now we know whom to contact if the fringe ball girl goes missing.

Good idea. It wouldn't be the first time I've saved someone.

EDIT: Fringe ballgirl is not missing. She is working for the Federer-Anderson match right now.

Kohly sends Tommy packing. Haas came short of his goal of making London, but he had a good season nonetheless.

It all comes down to Raonic now. I know three guys who are hoping he loses tonight.

Raonic needs to reach finals to have a shot at qualifying. Now he is only the
pretender left.

You know, I think it is more than three guys who wish Raonic loses. I mean, I am sure nobody wants to deal with his serve indoors on a surface like London's. He can do a lot of damage there. His serve-forehand combo would work there nicely and add to that his net game, he could win a couple matches there...

One thing is for sure, Raonic isn't skilled enough to break Nadal's serve (probably can't break Djokovic's serve either). Whereas Wawrinka is skilled enough to break everyone's serve (and Wawrinka can probably beat Djokovic).

Roger quickly wastes to BPs. He will be using the backhand slice a lot today.

Trust me , he has skills. His return game has improved and is still improving. People develop different part of their games on different time frames. For Milos, returning has not been easy but he is working hard on it.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger looks sharp so far...and I have been digging the shirt he is wearing since Basel, so I am buying it...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed up a break in first set. It is 4-2

 

[GameSetAndMath]

First set in the bag. One more to go to London.

Roger breaks in the second to go up 2-1. He has hit some good volleys today.

Up a double break. He's a man on a mission today. I like how focussed and motivated he looks.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed serving for GSM at 5-2.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed gets brokern. It ain't over until tall man sings.

But, Fed has insurance break with him.

Fed's tight all of a sudden..Two BPs for Mr Anderson...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ok. Second chance. Fed serving for GSM at 5-4.

Will he close it out or drama continue?

 

[tented]

He did it! I'm so glad that's settled.

 

[kskate2]

Thank goodness he ends the drama on the first MP.
