It's not the same without Roger :(

Murray's match winning point against Djoko last week was loving amazing and deserves a rewatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQiaGQ9-PlU

what the gently caress there are 2 posts a month in the tennis thread and we need a separate rg thread?

Slams are the biggest tennis event and lots of people only watch slams.

The warning was bullshit as Kyrgios was trying to say 'towel' to the ballboy over the crowd. He plays fast and doesn't have time to wait for the crowd to die down.

He gets warnings for things he doesn't deserve because of what he said one time to Stan. If he had acted as pissy as Djoko did all week in Madrid the media/officials would have raked him over coal.

This giy Simon is playing, Dutra Silva, has the worst grunt. The ball is on the other side of the court when he grunts and it sounds like he's dying!



PS. Dimitrov still sucks.

At least Eurosport is better than ITV. Tucked away on ITV4 only. There are two matches still going on but why show one of those when we can show a loving repeat from earlier.

Petra Kvitova is going down in flames. I know clay isn't her best surface but still, if Tomic did this we'd all be making 'choo choo' noises at him.

Nice to see Rodgers do well. She was previously known for trashing Bouchard in Canada a couple of years ago.

Halep and Radwanska are very angry about having to play in the rain today. They both lost from winning positions.

Nadal's pulled out of Queen's Club. Wondering if he's going to be at Wimbledon.

The FO offers a 100% refund if there's less than 1 hour of play and a 50% refund is there's 1-2 hours.

Djokovic and RBA played for... 2 hours 1 minute.

What a loving scam.

They didn't even play for two hours. They let the clock run on while they were all arguing.

They dropped the price to 20 Euros for Lenglen if the Djoko match isn't full then there's a massive problem.

I think it's the French crowd doing their 'gently caress this, gently caress you' routine.

Disappointed in Stan, thought he would be more up for it.

Sodium Chloride

Stan is very negative at the moment. Even when he wins a good point he looks like someone stepped on his puppy.

On the other court Djokovic is well on the way to shooting the last zebra.

Wasn't that an exciting ten minutes at the end of the third set... and then Stan immediately hands Andy a break.

Looks like we're getting another Djokovic/Murray match :suicide:

In other news del Po and Federer are playing in Stuttgart next week.

The men's side of tennis is weak, Federer and Nadal are at the end of their careers and after that there is nothing but chumps. The other problem, of course, is Murray being unable to consistently beat Djokovic.

(and women are just inconsistent.)
