Western & Southern Open - Cincinnati (Men)

[Kieran]

You could only be half serious, in fairness. Roger losing to Robredo at the USO, for instance, didn't help them get it on there, either...

Nole's definitely taking Stan seriously and is much sharper starting out! Still on serve, but he doesn't appear moody and he's moving very well! :angel: :dodgy:

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well you have to take seriously the guy who came out and spanked you at the one slam missing on your resume and not lose face and get taken out by the same man at the one masters missing from your resume too.

Nole would have to be a fool not to take Stan seriously (I think he's quite intelligent by the way). Twice he's spanked Djoker in a major and then went on to win that slam.

Break for Nole! Serving for it! ;-) :clap

Stan gets sloppy and Novak has the break 5-4

 

[brokenshoelace]

Is Nole interested again? Did he make his most recent overhead?

Yes he did; taking it out of the air! He's volleying well too! He's on, but things can change! He has trouble with the type of smooth, graceful play from both Federer and Wawrinka! So very strange! Nadal eats them alive on the other hand; too weird! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Rafa has said about the match: "I played well, I didn't play a bad match but I think Feli played great. I was there during the whole match with the right intensity, with the right attitude, doing the things I have to do but today I played against an opponent that has played a fantastic match. He played the best match ever against me without any doubt. I congratulate him, that's it"
It's so true, Feli played the match of his life in all the ways, he would have beaten to anyone but Rafa was the "victim" though I also have to say that he (Rafa) gave me good vibes, he played well, not perfect, not his best but you can tell that he is closer and closer. I think the USO is going to bring us (his fans) a very good time.
We'll see today how Feli is going to play, I doubt that he can play two matches in a row so well, no way but I hope to see a good match like yesterday against Rafa and also very good Muzz-Dimitrov although this last one didn't play so well in the most crucial moments

Too funny. Feli can play as well as he likes against Roger tonight, barring a God awful performance it won't be a match. You are living in denial. Rafa losing to Lopez just shows how far off the pace he is.

Too funny your comment too. if you have some knowledge about this sport you can't deny that Feli played better than anyone else. And I'm not the only one saying that, all the good tennis followers, including commentarists, writers and experts have said the same thing. If he would play today like yesterday your beloved player wouldn't reach the semis but unfortunately it won't be the case, Feli did enough yesterday, he can't repeat it again

Carol, even when you give full praise to the winner against Nadal, there's a barb in the reply... :huh: :dodgy:

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like Craprinka showed up so far for set two! Good for Djoker he needs a two setter!

Stan was quoted in the press as saying he's still in "crybaby" mode after Nick's match...

Oh is that it? As if Stan needs a reason to suck

What do you mean? :huh:

 

[Carol]

How is Wawrinka playing? is he seems to be interested? :snicker

I tell you what, if Lopez breaks Roger 3 times in 3 sets on a fast hard court hell will freeze over and Roger shouldn't bother showing up for the USO. I don't care what the over the top announcers are saying. It's their job to praise the winner to epic proportions.

Another "breadstick" served! Nole played well, but hard to tell overall how things are since Stan was so bad; maybe not allowed to play well! :s :nono :angel: :dodgy:

 

[kskate2]

And that is over. Thank you Novak for putting the pouty Stan out of his misery. :clap
