The Castle

the battle of Arbela: 331 B.C.

 

[kskate2]

Stan is not the man and exits the premises after a 3rd set loss to T-Rob

 

[ClayDeath]

tough loss for stan "not" the man.


looks like tommy robredo has his number.


so we have 2 tommies in the event now. and they both have single handed backhands.


I have a feeling they both will be removed from the facilities tomorrow.

alexander the great at Arbela:

My guess for night matches tomorrow.

They will put Isner in there, the last standing American.

Most probably the other night match in the main court will be wta match.

If not, it will go to Rog as he has the most difficult opponent compared to
other members of big four plus or minus one.

 

[ClayDeath]

excellent point.


I will look for that order of play again.

 

[ClayDeath]

I was looking at the draw:

I think del potro could make some waves here.

[GameSetAndMath]

The OOP is out.

Nadal got night match.

Unbelievably, the last standing American does not even get the grand stand court
(2nd best) and is thrown into third court.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The other night match went to Serena.

With Fed playing day match, the weather will not be cold and so he will have
less back issues. So, he has much better chances of getting through now.

 

[ClayDeath]

holy smokes. that does not make any sense.


they should have given it to isner, andy, or roger.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Forget night match, Isner does not even get to play in the centre court or the
grand stand. He plays in court no. 3, despite being the last standing American in
a tournament in America.

 

[ClayDeath]

here is the order of play:

roger is the defending champ. it think he should have been given the night match tomorrow.




anyway any thoughts on these matches? do you see any upsets in the cards?

affirmative general. that does not make any sense to me at all.

 

[ClayDeath]

I just realized that I don't have alexander the great in my sig.

I am going to change that shortly. the castle on the far right will have to go.

Not sure about upsets, but there is some good viewing:

Fed/Haas
Dimitrov/Nadal
Lopez/Del Potro
Bennetau/Murray
Berdych/Robredo

All interesting matches, even without upsets.

Not sure of upsets, but here is some wishful thinking though. Baby Fed should do
a favor to Papa Fed by clearing the Bull out of the way.

 

[ClayDeath]

that is probably not going to happen.

baby fed is going to have a hard time dealing with those topspin cyclones that have so much damn weight behind them.

if nadal shifts gears, baby fed is cooked.


roger just has to find a way to step it up and go through nadal if he has to.

he took care of nadal at indian wells last year in straights.
