Roland Garros - Day 7, Saturday May 30 - Order of Play

[Puppet Master]

Looks like we will have the battle of the clay court 250 champions in the round of 16. Sock vs. Nadal.

Who would have thought it would happen this soon; besides me of course? A possibility of dropping out of the top 10 if he doesn't get past Nole next week; already #11 on live rankings! Wow; the only thing to make it better is a win by Djokovic next Sunday! :angel: :dodgy: - If perchance Roger can get through and Nole's been knocked out, I wouldn't mind him taking one more major, but I doubt it'll happen!

It would be a real shame if your hero gets outplayed in the quarters, wouldn't it? lot

 

[Kirijax]

Just saw that Sock is the youngest American to reach Week 2 of the French Open since Sampras in '93.

Whoa. :eyepop

I don't have heroes! I do have faves and acknowledge who I believe to be the best at the time and "this is NOLE's TIME!" :angel: :dodgy:

 

[Front242]

Bolelli won set 3 and is up 2 to sets to 1 against Ferret now.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Bolelli won set 3 and is up 2 to sets to 1 against Ferret now.

What is wrong with him, he forgot he is a lowly italian player?

 

[kskate2]

Will Christmas come early this year? I doubt it, but who knows we might get lucky.

All depends on your idea of Christmas doesn't it? I have my wishes of who I would like to win this tournament, but I'm positively sure it doesn't mesh w/ yours.

That's always been quite obvious. :snicker

Truth be told. I don't want to see any of big 4 win it.

 

[Moxie]

Ferrer has his hands full. Bolelli is whacking his return now.

Bolelli went up 2 sets to love against Djokovic here a couple of years ago. Ferrer has turned around the 4th, so we'll see if Bolelli can keep it up.

 

[herios]

Just came back to see Sock won in straights
:clap

I am rooting for him, ever since he won Wimbledon with Vasek.

I hope he knocks Rafa's socks off:snicker

 

[herios]

Weather forecast in Paris favoring Nadal, especially if he can somehow get past Djokovic in the quarters:

Wed 6/3 (QF): 74 deg

What is essential, this does not favor Rafa!

Be careful what you wish, it could go against you :nono

Oh yeah, this is understandable, but he has had plenty of time for himself. Time will tell who you will like next, eh?

Tennis isn't a team sport where I have to root for the home team; sorry! Fed's still the best even if I believe Nole's doing better at this time and rightfully so getting the accolades of being #1! What am I to do, stick with Sampras even though he's retired? I've never understood this blind allegiance we're supposed to have otherwise we don't know what we're talking about or are just plain traitors! I don't take tennis that seriously anymore; probably never did! :cover uzzled :nono :dodgy:

:huh:

What are you trying to say, exactly? That herios' wishes have an actual effect on the outcome?

 

[herios]

Gasquet won the 3rd set with Anderson

I think she is saying that if Sock wins, it will have a backlash, because herios will be deprived of watching Novak beat Rafa at Roland Garros. :hug

 

[Denis]

Bolelli has decided to stop playing tennis. Lost the last 8 games in a row. Down 2 - 0 in the fifth.

Well, the earlier Nadal gets knocked out of the tournament, the better. He can lose to Ferrer for all I care.

The only way that happens is if he makes the semi's, so let's hope not.

Did I tell you something? why you always respond for the others?

I know, just saying I'll basically root for anyone playing Nadal.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Bollelli is getting harshly reminded of his status. Ferrer on a double bagel mission. Up 4-0 in 5th after bagelling in 4th.
