Surprisingly one sided match. Good to see Novak getting through easily. :clap

Sexist pig or not--Ernie :heart:

I read all the comments on tennis.com and for the life of me I can't see what the hell people are calling him sexist for.

He made some remarks about woman being at home with children instead of playing tennis. I think it was played up to be a lot more than what it actual was myself.

And besides their have been mothers not only playing tennis, but winning

Well, he was asked about his sisters. He stated that he would not want them to play professionally because they would have to delay starting a family until their thirties... etc.

Maria Sharapova actually backed him up when she was asked.

Haber called him a misogynist. My response is that not everyone has the same culture and beliefs about family - not even in America. I guess judging others for having differing viewpoints is part of human nature.

I think you misinterpreted Maria. She was diplomatic, and rather amused, but she said that she doesn't think even he believes everything he says. Personally, I think, like Soderling, he embraces his bad guy hat, and likes to stir things up.

Both Fed and Gulbis' post match press conferences should be interesting anyway.

Not only is this an awesome pic, but the head looks EXACTLY like Raonic.


Cheers

Today can still be a good day if Stosur beats that stuck up noisy pig and so far so good, she is.

I wish Carillo did not mention Federer's name, ever. Her happiness in his losses make me sick.

Does Carillo hate Federer?

Was watching Murray's match on ITV over here and Mark Petchey's Murray worship has always sickened me as well.

Not many people like Maria. I think it also because of the media that talks her up, and try to make her more beautiful or richer than she is.

"Hate" might not be the right word, but she is no fan that's for sure. She never misses an opportunity to take a jab.

Well she sure isn't beautiful imo but I just hate the way she stares down the court with that stoic, stuck up gaze on her face and she's very ungracious when she loses. Actually a bigger issue with WTA than ATP. The casual handshake with no eye contact. Hoping we get to witness it soon

Not to mention the pathetic noise from her. She sounds like a cow giving birth to ten calves.

This must be a recent development. I've always thought Carillo is quite the fangirl when it comes to Roger.

I think Mary is kind of free-spoken. I remember one time in 2010 when she called Nadal a grinder, and Federer a short maker. Sometimes she exaggerates.

 

[atttomole]

I meant shot maker.

When you were younger, did you have a huge crush on someone who looked just like Maria? Did she crush you? :snigger

I do like her. She's not as a cute as Ivanovic, or Camilla Giorgi, but I love her groundies.

Nah, never been into long legged manly giraffes with huge shoulders She's playing well in set 3 alright but lost count how many times Stosur used poor tactics and hit the ball right to her. She hits some nice shots but she's basically a one dimensional ball basher and nothing more. There's no plan B. It's simply plan A: hit the ball as hard as possible and if that's not working hit the ball even harder, of course while simultaneously screeching like she's giving birth to calves.

So Camilla Giorgi it is...

6-0 in the third.

Looking at tomorrow, what are the chances of a Serb (not named Djokovic) beating Rafa at the French?

I also. as far as I remember, thought Mary liked Roger. Now, NBC will show the 5th set of Fedbis, so I will listen carefully what she will say.

hum :huh: fedster lost to mr bozo, that mto seemed really dodgy, uzzled I was thinking it was a tricky match for roger but that overhead volley on 2nd set set point was so deflating to watch..and that match point was a floaty bh down the line that drifted out..exactly the same as feds match point loss at wimby last year. :s

good news for grass ahead..no one really thought he could win FO (did they ?), has an extra week off before slightly more realistic attempt at halle-Wimbledon double.

and if he'd have won v gulbis, who wants to see roger probably lose to skeletor in the fo qf anyhoo ?..not me. Federer has hoovered up some rank points on clay, will prob be top4 rank at wimby or 5 at worst.
