Roland Garros Day 8: Sunday, June 1 - Order of Play

Losing in the 4th round for Roger at RG is just one more step on his downhill trend from his heights.

Wait, we still have to say that Federer is declining after every loss? I think you're a good 4 years too late.

and Milos with a break in the 3rd.

This is nothing compared to him losing in 2nd round of Wimbledon and 4th round of USO, Roger hasn't had a pulse on clay since 2011 and a little bit in 2012.

djoker cruising to 5-0. damn that was fast

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

djoker up a quick break

Go Nole!
I hope Milos finishes off Granola quickly, so our channel in Canada could switch to Nole JW match

Seriously...Good to see Milos playing this well too though. The kid has improved so much.

Nope I am not.

2011 Final
2012 SF

Have you heard about a linear decline?
This is a classical one.

I was only talking about his performance at RG, not his general performance overall.

Wait, maybe it is cyclical and next year it is the Final again?

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Milos. He will not beat Nole but he plays like this, he might make it interesting.

Superb performance by Milos to earn his first slam QF ever

And the point is? So if he reaches 3rd round of Wimbledon this year should we talk about how he is rejuvenated?

Congrats Milos... he got so excited after winning I think he inhaled and got two ball kids stuck in his nostrils.

If he will manage a final next year, I will take all my hats off in front of the Maestro, no question.

Killer DTL backhand from JWT.

The point is this was his worst RG in 10 years. Only that.

Much better first service percentages for Djo today.

 

[Federberg]

Wow! I've been looking forward to this match all day, and it's not a spectacle

Thus far, it's been somewhat of a clinic.

Went to the gym when Fed and Gulbis were just about to start the 2nd set TB, not knowing Fed had 40-15 at 5-4 'cos I was in and out of the room the whole time before that. Reading all the comments here ('cos I was stuck on page 4 before I left) it seems a horrific overhead is what Fed will be kicking himself over. From what I watched he was passive as hell and didn't deserve to win anyway. Hats off to Gulbis. Makes it easier to swallow when a player I like beats Fed. Just hope Fed does better next 2 slams this year though. From what I watched he was playing very passive and inoffensive. Kind of PG as opposed to 18's certified Fed.

 

[DarthFed]

Glad to see him making quick work so far. No need to let Jo Willie stick around and get in a groove with the French crowd behind him.
