Roland Garros Day 6: Friday, May 30 - Order of Play

[Moxie]

Anyone know what happened with the Berdych match?

Berd up 2 sets. On serve in the 3rd 2-3 when the rain came.

Berdych is trying to give it back ..

Wins in 4... the end of Agut at the French!

Oh, well…nice run for him this spring. I see Robredo is hanging with Isner. Is he going to pull that trick he did last year of continually coming back from 2 sets down?

Come on big John. Round of 16 is not to shabby.

Tommy won the third set. Wouldn't be surprised if he wins this in 5.

Thankful for Maria's double bagel win and can watch Simon and Raonic now.

I'm thinking the same. Remember last year when Tommy came back three rounds in a row from two sets to love down?

Is ESPN showing this match?

^ which irks me because they should be showing the more exciting Jojo and jerzy

 

[nehmeth]

Hot tempered (and often dimwitted) JJ down two sets to Jo.

When Jo is making better choices than you are during a match, and your name isn't Monfils - there's definitely something wrong. :nono

I see Big John is back to his old tricks, tie break after tie break...
What's he going to do in the last set? No-Tie-Break!


Lets see if he can serve for the match, avoid another tie break.

JIsner through... next match will be a little "boom-boom" with Berdy.

 

[nehmeth]

Simon has been in most of Raonic's service games with a break point in a couple of them. Raonic down 0-40 at 4-4.

And he breaks!!

 

[nehmeth]

Later JJ. 9 DF's, on top your sketchy groundstrokes, and suspect brain?? You're done in three unless Jo has a meltdown.

Fortunately, Jo's up a double break, so he should get through.

Tsonga through in straights: 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. :clap

Simon broken and breaks back early in the 2nd set. Would be nice to be able to see it.

Shoot! He was my Dark Wild Spoiler Thing in the draw challenge.

I am no fan of either guy, but I am rooting for Simon. A Novak-Raonic match would be no fun.

I enjoy Simon. Parents were non-athletes, he was not the brilliant junior that Gasquet was, but a tenacious battler that makes the most of his skill set.

And yeah, I'm not a fan of Serb v. Montenegrin matches.

 

[golds girl]

Maybe this is a new thread but Raonic would definitely get the title of most improved with a close second by Nishikori. Doesn't hurt to watch Raonic anymore

 

[ftan]

being in west coast is no fun during French open and Wimbledon .. hardly able to watch any matches.. how was Roger playing.. I see he got thru in 4..

 

[Moose]

I wonder if Roger remembers when last year Ernests said Fed's tennis was boring, that his interviews were crap, and he didn't like that Federer was always polite and inoffensive?

I wonder if Roger will remember that when they play on Sunday?

No doubt he will remember. What he will do about it is the question.
