I hope this thread isn't going to jinx him, he's doing very well atm, we might need a tournament thread!
4-0 so far.
And a new outfit (blue shirt and red shorts)
Hmmm, I did jinx him, he made 2 df in a row at 4-0 40-15. :-/
Alles unter Kontrolle, 5-0.
Schwank is looking unhappy about something and not chasing all the balls, I'm not sure if he has an injury or if he's just frustrated? I have no sound here.
Anyway, apart from the usual woeful serving, Guille has been playing well imo since I'm watching. He looks so cute and "light" compared to Schwank!
Hater, the 6-0 was real too. :ras: I know Schwank was awful, but Guille was moving and striking the ball nicely while I was watching.
The serve is getting worse and worse, though. It looked better in Casa and Paris.
The serve is worse than ever today. He was trying very hard to not let it get to his mind, but it's not possible. He completely gifted away the last service game, even when the serve was in, looked just gutted.
Oh come on, Guille, Schwank was OK in Paris, but he's just heavy and boring today, you have to win this.
Aaahhh, 2 net attacks (one was not successful, but never mind, kudos to him for trying), one gorgeous dropshot and a nice winner to take the game, 1-1 (it was about time, first game since 6-0 1-0!)
I only know Betfair and bet365.com, sorry.
My livestream isn't working anymore. :-/ It's not available in Germany either because a TV channel bought the rights (and isn't showing it ^^), so I had to use a pr.o.xy and it just stopped working during Guille's service game.
The rain delay is perfect for me, the TV coverage starts in 15 minutes here. The rain has stopped apparently, I hope they'll take their time to dry the court properly...
(It will be on DSF, in case you know a DSF livestream)
There already are some pics of the blue shirt on Getty, daze.
The outfit is nice, but the haircut is horrible - and I'm "pro long hair"!
to state the obvious, if he doesnt manage to get through this double fault business, he really is going to retire. i am sure it is both frustrating and embarrassing to no end. frankly, i cant even believe it...this goes back to 2005.
He actually managed to get a serve in the box on MP, but was so frustrated anyway that he immediately made an UE. Can't blame him, it doesn't make sense anymore, he's trying SO hard and it isn't getting better at all. He looks fit to me, I found him pretty fast today.
well that sucks. I think the df thing is strictly impatience..with himself. YES it's been about 3 years since this tragedy started so how much patience can one have with it? Depends on the person. A wise lady once told me "the only time Guille is patient is at the doctors office" ("patient", get it?? :lol: ok...) Everything else has already been said..
