The Tennis Thread

<p>“Could Mary Carillo possibly get any more annoying.”</p>

<p>I can’t believe she brought up the dead coach. </p>

<p>Well done to Pics. Deserved. </p>

<p>Hope the final will at least be competitive.</p>

<p>BCEagle, Tsonga didn’t seem to be present on the court. Not sure where he was but McEnroe said “almost lethargic” which sounds about right. </p>

<p>I’m sure sitting around for 2-3 hours waiting for Rafa and Novak, wondering when they are going to finish so you can go on, is tough mentally.</p>

<p>His coach must be going nuts. All of the head-cases (that’s descriptive, not pejorative) must drive their coaches and fans nuts. Tsonga seems like such a great guy; he just seems to space out from time to time.</p>

<p>With the women’s finals being broadcast tomorrow morning at 6am. Pacific Time, I know I’ll have to get up early to see any of it. It’ll likely be over in an hour, sad to say. I’d love to see Maria beat Serena but that’s very unlikely.</p>

<p>Go Serena!</p>

<p>Wow… The Terminatrix wins again! Very impressive command of French, too.</p>

<p>Well, Serena is a great, great player but she lost me as a fan with so many examples of bad sportsmanship over the years.</p>

<p>She’s really gotten her emotions under control on the court. Perhaps that extends off the court now too. It looks like her coach has helped her quite a bit.</p>

<p>I agree with post #267 and prefer players like Kim Clijsters. Actually, is there anyone like Kim? But some audience prefer hysterical outbursts of emotion because it provides excitement to the game. Count me out. Still congratulations to Serena. She now joins Navratilova, Graf and Evert as women who have won all four Grand Slams at least twice.</p>

<p>Navratilova doesn’t want Serena to get to 18 Slams xD Can’t wait until she passes that with a vengeance.</p>

<p>o__________O</p>

<p>How interesting is this match without the tennis though xD</p>

<p>Hooray for Rafa! I was hoping it would go to 5 sets, though.</p>

<p>How about that intruder ? Those guys in suits were ON him and on Nadal for protection. Actually looked like there were two guys.</p>

<p>Yeah there were two guys. That was weird. I had an instant flashback to Monica Seles. </p>

<p>Rafa is arguably the best player of all time and his victory is so well deserved.</p>

<p>^Best player ever on clay but not the GOAT. </p>

<p>I wanted David to win at least one set but oh well.</p>

<p>Bummer for Ferrer! Not the match I was hoping for. Djokovic/Nadal match should have been the final!</p>

<p>“Bethanie Mattek-Sands… someone please shoot me if I ever play a Grand Slam wearing knee-hi black socks”</p>

<p>I was watching a dubs match at Halle this afternoon between Roger/Tommy H and Melzer/Petzchner and Petzchner was wearing royal blue knee-hi’s!</p>

<p>Draw is out. Some interesting 1st rd matches. </p>
