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

[Murat Baslamisli]

Gulbis is pointing to his back, hammies...Let's see how this works out.

 

[Moxie]

The French crowd was unimpressed with the timing of that MTO. They booed Ernie when he came back out.

 

[kskate2]

Fed's momentum has been broken 0-40 for Ernie to get one of the breaks back

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Gulbis comes back from injury with a vengeance. Rhythm broken, mission accomplished...

 

[kskate2]

^ I think he will really go for his shots now resulting in a few more errors.

 

[kskate2]

Ernie breaks and holds. Fed w/ one more chance to serve for the set 5-4

 

[crystalfire]

Even if fed wins this I don't have much hope for him against berdych

 

[kskate2]

SP after being down 0-30

 

[britbox]

Set point. Come on RF.

 

[huntingyou]

love it when Fed shows emotion

 

[kskate2]

FH long. Deuce

 

[kskate2]

great sneak approach and volley. SP again

 

[britbox]

I had visions of that clipping the line...

 

[Moxie]

Fifth set…go Roger!

 

[kskate2]

big first serve and FH and Fed levels the match. Heading to the decider

 

[britbox]

Into the 5th

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger gets the 4th. He is visibly upset and I am sure he will have some words about the MTO after the match.

 

[kskate2]

Roger is pumped. He's mad at Ernie for taking that MTO...

 

[brokenshoelace]

The only positive to this and the Rome disasters is that Roger will be plenty fresh for Wimbledon. That's when his season really starts now anyways.

The Sampras Protocol. ?.

Kieran wishes he didn't self-impose a "no posting during grand slams" policy in order to reply to the above. Must be killing him :laydownlaughing

 

[britbox]

Roger is pumped. He's mad at Ernie for taking that MTO...

Well, he needs to get over it. The system is there and people will play the system.
