:laydownlaughing

I don't hate him, just do not really care. And he won enough, I want Nole to win the big titles, not Olderer

 

[Kirijax]

OK, Murray. Time to get down to business and take control of this match. One set all.

Chardy played an unreal return game there. Ripping Murray a new one.

 

[El Dude]

Wow, lovely work from Chardy.

 

[Kirijax]

Yeah! Murray breaks back! Muzza!

 

[El Dude]

Honest question: Are all French players head-cases?

Honest question: Are all French players head-cases?

Well, let's see. Here's the list of French players in the Top 100:

13 Simon, Gilles (FRA)
14 Monfils, Gael (FRA)
15 Tsonga, Jo-Wilfried (FRA)
21 Gasquet, Richard (FRA)
32 Mannarino, Adrian (FRA)
45 Chardy, Jeremy (FRA)
47 Benneteau, Julien (FRA)
71 Paire, Benoit (FRA)
90 Pouille, Lucas (FRA)

What do you think?

 

[nehmeth]

This is Chardy playing to the level he is capable of.... I like it.

 

[Kirijax]

Whew. Murray takes the third set 6-3. My stomach is in knots. This thing is far from over though.

 

[Carol]

Bravo Ferru!!! :clap
Come on Muzz!!! :clap

71 Paire, Benoit (FRA)
90 Pouille, Lucas (FRA)

What do you think?

As I said in another thread, a seemingly high percentage of French players could be labelled underachievers - Monfils, Tsonga, Gasquet, Chardy ,Paire all seem like they could have done more. Even Benneteau, who may be on the best players in tennis history who hasn't one a single title, is 0-10 in title finals.

 

[Carol]

Gasquet is the biggest bobblehead that I have never seen

 

[Carol]

Well played Muzz!

 

[Federberg]

Glad that's over. Now it's Sock - Nadal right?

 

[Kirijax]

Way to go Murray! Into the quarters! Against Ferruuuuuuuuu! clap:clap

 

[Federberg]

Way to go Murray! Into the quarters! Against Ferruuuuuuuuu! clap:clap

That is going to tell us a lot about Andy. Don't think he's ever beaten Ferru on clay

I'm not sure I would classify Simon or Tsonga as headcases.

Correct:

And the last time they played on clay was here, in 2012. Final score: 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-2
