Damn, I was too late.

Congrats to Juanito! He looked fantastic in today's victory over Ivan:

Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina waves to the fans after his win over Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia at the Kooyong Classic tennis tournament, in Melbourne on January 13, 2010. Del Potro won the match 6-3, 6-3 in the round-robin tournament that is used by top male players, incluing six ranked in the top eleven, as a warm-up to the Australian Open to be played January 18-31, 2010.

:banana: YAY!!! :woohoo:

Delpo in wrist injured and in doubt for AO (he withdrew from Kooyong)

i think its just a precaution well i hope it is, like he has a perfect chance of winning the kooyong chmapionship if he stayed in it which means he would only have one day before the AO starts and no time to rest and "mentally prepare" what ever that means lol i dont know but lots of players say that

Let's hope it is just a precaution. Peta on GM stated she saw him practicing this morning so ..................

Yeah, maybe it is a tactic,to get more rest these days instead of playing. hope nothing is wrong with his body.

Iam with lil :D
i think is a tactic, you know the boy ;) he likes to do that games :rolls:

Yeah, maybe it is a tactic,to get more rest these days instead of playing. hope nothing is wrong with his body.

oh belive me, after seeing those pics kai posted i can tell you there is nothing wrong with his body;):lol:

:lol: hahaha Amy xD surely!! LOL

I hope Delpo is allright :unsure:

this time its his left wrist

I cant not think of him not playing in Aus.
ufffffff

same :sad:

Eh, I'd be more worried if they said right wrist. :shrug: And I'm not worried at all.

The draw of 2010 AO is out.
http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/...s/ms/r1s3.html

I think this draw is not too hard for Delpo.

oh belive me, after seeing those pics kai posted i can tell you there is nothing wrong with his body;):lol:


:D Did I use the inappropriate word "wrong"? :D sorry

Everything about Delpo is definitely right. :p

now delpo is climbing to the Top 1, pray pray with me :worship:
cant wait to see him play and win, play and win, and win and win, and hold another trophy :angel:

Yeah,hope he will be No.1 in the near future.:bigclap:

Sometimes it is really torturing to see Delpo lose. But we all know he could not win all of the games. When he loses, I just comfort myself, only if he enjoys tennis,and enjoys his life, I am happy for him.:)

:D Did I use the inappropriate word "wrong"? :D sorry

Everything about Delpo is definitely right. :p

no no what you said was perfectly fine lol it made sense
i was just making a joke lol

64 43....

Vamos~

6-46-40-2

what are juan and the ump arguing about?

64 64 36 :o

41

vamos!

Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! :banana:

YAYYYYY!!!!!!! :bounce:

It seems nothing serious with his wrist :D

Come on, Delpo !:tennis:

:banana:

I couldn't stay awake, fell asleep before the match even started. Did they show it on ESPN2 or just bits and pieces? I can get the repeat on ESPN360 if I have time later.

I'm so glad that they always broadcast Delpo's matches here, because he's Latin American :yeah:
One of the things I suffered was when they didn't broadcast Marat's matches :sad:

I finally have a chance to see his first round match. :woohoo:

Good luck to Del Pony against Blake today. :clap2::clap2::clap2:
I hope his wrist is feeling better. They really haven't met in a real match before today:

http://i46.tinypic.com/2nintko.jpg

Juannnnnn!!! :rocker2:

6-4, 4-4* :D

Vamos Juanito!

YAY!!! so exciting!! vamos Juan!!! :rocker2:

Gosh, I'm dying :tape:

WIN!!!!!!!! Delpo is fantastic!!!!!!

What a thriller that was! But happy happy happy now :bounce: !

Now some easier and quicker matches, please :p

Whew! I think they both are the walking wounded now. Now I have to try to get some sleep!

What a match! Incredible! Our comeback kid~

Congrats to Del Pony!!! So happy for him! He has nerves of steel and never gives up. He has the "it" factor; there is no doubt in my mind. :D :worship: :worship: :worship:

http://i103.piczo.com/view/3/u/g/f/0/r/y/k/u/w/z/t/img/t304466939_70289_5.gif

It was fantastic!!and even though it was so so close there was always a little bit in my mind saying "his going to win it will be close but he will" you could just see somehow in his body language that he knew he was better then blake and could win....i was still praying like theres no tomorrow though:lol:

I couldn't see the match, but I'm so glad to hear that he won!

so cool a match, so calm a man...;)
our kid is great!!!!!

I'm so so so happy he won :worship:!It was way closer then i thought it would be.I just hope the next match is easier for him and for me because I don't know if I can handle a match like the Blake one twice!!

I've run out of words...so I'll just say :bounce:

Wow about 5 hours ??? I hope the wrist holds up! But good on him. I like Blake though too so what an awful draw for him. But :banana:

Yeah, 4 hs 17 min I think it was. I didn't know much about Blake, I liked him, the match was so good because he was there too (a Delpo's monologue would be relieving, of course, we all want that but the fact that they were both so good made a hell of a match). I liked how he behaved, he looked courteous, saying sorry to Delpo after asking for the trainer, and being nice in general :yeah:

Vamos Juan!! Ánimo!!!

EDIT: 6-3, 0-5...ánimo!!!!

What the heck happened in that second set!!?? It looks like he has righted the ship now. I hope his wrist is ok.

6-3, 0-6, 6-4

Vamos Del Pony! http://i103.piczo.com/view/3/u/g/f/0/r/y/k/u/w/z/t/img/t304466939_70289_5.gif

33 Unforced Errors so far....:spit:but 40 winners :worship:

@ Nolby: :haha: at the little pony!! xDD

Go Juan!!! Won the 3rd set :banana:

Don't know about the 2nd :shrug: maybe he was tired?? or perhaps annoyed cause he could've won the 1st by 6-1 and was 6-3 instead? :scratch:

@ Nolby: :haha: at the little pony!! xDD
It's tough and lovable at the same time! :lol:


Go Juan!!! Won the 3rd set :banana:

:haha:

I think Juanito, from observing his matches, goes through spells of exhaustion and 2nd, 3rd and 4th winds. Do you know what I mean? He tends to lose all his energy and focus much like Nalby does sometimes, and then wills himself to find that energy again when he realizes he is in trouble. The announcers are saying the majority of those 33 unforced errors came in the 2nd set. Ugly! But glad he came back. :yeah:

AAAAAhh!! crap!! I don't like this :sad:

Ok, ok, c'mon Juan!! arriba pibe!! *cheers* :P

Edit: yep, I see, thx 4 explaining :)

AAAAAhh!! crap!! I don't like this :sad:

Ok, ok, c'mon Juan!! arriba pibe!! *cheers* :P

Edit: yep, I see, thx 4 explaining :)

Unreal, eh? It looks like Del Pony needs to dig himself out of another hole. Never a dull moment. :lol: I'm hoping he gets that 10th wind in this match. :p

I'm getting worried with these long matches in the sun though. This has got to be wearing him out. :sad:

Arriba Pibe!! :rocker2:

He just broke back again!!! This is almost getting hilarious! :banana:

Back on serve! C'mon Del Pony!! http://i103.piczo.com/view/3/u/g/f/0/r/y/k/u/w/z/t/img/t304466939_70289_5.gif


As I type, it is coming back to even 4-4. :yeah:

==============
Del Pony is giving Baggy a run for the money in the "King of Drama" department in this AO so far. That last match against Blake made me age several years. :lol:

Ok, he is serving to stay in the 4th set now, 4-5.

Yep!!! I'm relieved :lol:

My, I have a headache...too much screen I guess :p

3 BPs

Arriba Pibe!! :rocker2:

-------------
Edit: He wasted all three!! :(
--------
2nd Edit: And then he comes back from Ad Out, gets another break point, and breaks him!!!! :)

6-5 and serving for the match!!! Please, no more drama, Del Pony!http://www.withgreatmercy.com/images/newsmiley/pray_smiley.gif
------
Deuce

In all fairness, Mayer is playing a hell of a match! It's not just Juanito struggling.

YES!!!! now serving for match!! :bounce:

YEEEESSSS!!!! After several Deuces, he takes the match!!

Vamos Juanito!!!!!!!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

6-3, 0-6, 6-4, 7-5

On to the 4th Round!

Please gets lots of rest! Cilic/Wawrinka winner is next.

nice..


btw new people :unsure:

YES!!!!! :banana:

I can sleep peacefully now ;)

Asked about the bee that buged him during the change over, he said that he'd have preferred being biten by a couple bees than suffering so much on the court :haha:

:wavey: Kai!! You arrive and I go to sleep :rolls:

nice..


btw new people :unsure:

He'll probably sleep until the next match. That was a bit too much for me to watch at times, I had to switch to other matches. Of course, ESPN2 was showing Isner, so I could just get up from the computer, walk 5 steps, then watch the other match on TV.

YES!!!!! :banana:

Asked about the bee that buged him during the change over, he said that he'd have pref:haha:erred being biten by a couple bees than suffering so much on the court

:wavey: Kai!! You arrive and I go to sleep :rolls:

:haha:

Poor Juanito! He really needs an easy straight set victory in the next round. I hope Wawrinka and Cilic go 5 very LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG sets! :lol:

Juan :hug:

i missed late 2nd set and the early 3rd set , what happened??
why did he take his forearm taping off??



Asked about the bee that buged him during the change over, he said that he'd have preferred being biten by a couple bees than suffering so much on the court :haha:


LOLLLLL i was so jealous of that little bee!!
surely he attracted that little bee with his sweet smell!! :inlove:

he wasnt suppose to suffer that much infront of Blake :sad:
I just hope he will start the season good, and nothing better than winning the AUS trophy
praaaaaays prays

too close for comfort; he will end up exhausted. But :banana:

Puede ser que se sufra tanto? *headdesks*

Again, I couldn't watch the match. I was wathing Feña until 2 am and I couldn't keep myself awake -had to get up at 7 and go to work... ahem-. Now, I'm reading the news and your comments... and thanks Godness I didn't watch it, I might have died from suffering!

Nolby, your pony is priceless :D

@nobel xD I know, Iam not talkiing about u :rolls: sorry

@smity, I was like u -.0 I hate when espn does that so I watch it on a Spanish livestream :lol:

I hope no party for this kid till saturday/Sunday :rolls:

Yes I'm glad he made it through that match :woohoo:.Next up he plays my other favorite Marin :sobbing:.Someone I love is going to lose :sad:.
It seems like there constantly playing against each other in grand slams :mad:.

He'll probably sleep until the next match. That was a bit too much for me to watch at times, I had to switch to other matches. Of course, ESPN2 was showing Isner, so I could just get up from the computer, walk 5 steps, then watch the other match on TV.

Isn't that so annoying that stupid espn2 is constantly focusing on all the American players.Yes I know we live in America so that's whats expected.But still they were showing Serena and Venus stupid doubles match last night when Juan was playing and there like oh by the way Juan just lost the second set 6/0 I was like WHAT :eek: get to the damn match before I jump through the screen and kick you all in the ass!

:haha:
Poor Juanito! He really needs an easy straight set victory in the next round. I hope Wawrinka and Cilic go 5 very LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG sets! :lol:

Looks like it was 4 sets...I hope he's veeeeery tired :lol:

why did he take his forearm taping off??

No idea but he had it done again in the next changeover immediately

rawa!! :D :hug: :smooch:

Ahaa, Rawa! now I remember you :p

Sorry :wavey:

:eek: oooh, Mónaco - Davydenko today! Kai, which one are you cheering for?? :p

rawa!! :D :hug: :smooch:

thanks Kai :D :hug: :wavey:


Ahaa, Rawa! now I remember you :p

Sorry :wavey:

Hi Laura ;) :wavey:

poor Pico :sad: i was cheering for him

Hi Rawa!! You're Rawal on the facebook, right? I just realised last night!! :smash: xD

Yes, me too...poor Pico...1st set Kolya was just impossible!!! :eek:

:lol: :hug:

i feel so sorry for Pico :sad: and i missed all his matches because i had to work :bigcry:

I knew this was going to be a tough match, and Juanito would need to play his best tennis to win. He just played a fantastic first set, breaking Cilic at 5-5 and then serving out the set with an ace! :bounce:

Vamos Del Pony!!!!!!!!!!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

7-5

Here are the Head to Head stats. It is odd to note they were born only 5 days apart, they are the same height, almost exactly the same weight, turned pro the same year....look at all the odd similarities.

http://i50.tinypic.com/5arlua.jpg

75 46 going on


Lau, I went with nikolay :D

Crap! :(

Cilic earns his first BP of the entire match with Juanito serving at 4-5, 30-40, and he takes the second set 6-4. JM was spending too much time getting irritated at the crowd noise that set and wasted numerous BPs himself.

Overall, he looks very strong, but so does Cilic. The quality of this match is at a very high level. It is worth noting that Cilic is 8-0 so far this year having won the Chennai title. This is a very tough match, but if Del Pony can start converting those break points, he should take this one. But tough match...

Juanito is missing too many first serves since the Second Set began. :(
======
Anyone else watching this match think this is the best quality match by two players in the AO 2010 thus far? Delpo is playing at a very high level just to survive here as Cilic is on fire too.

6 Deuces in Del Pony's first service game of the third set before he manages to hold. Praying Cilic will start cooling off... 7-5, 4-6, 1-1

He takes it finally on an ace. Vamos!! :rocker2:
================
Unbelievable lob by Delpo, return of the lob with another lob by Cilic....ugghh Cilic holds despite all the effort. Still on serve...

23 doh

23 doh

3-4

Juanito is he getting frustrated, slamming the racket! I don't blame him: Toes have blisters, Cilic won't go away...Still on serve.
=======
Another 4-5 Deuce service hold by Del Pony. phew!

Cilic is 0/7 on BPs this set. Clutch hold to say the least.

4-4

VAMOOOOOOS Del Pony!!! First break point of the set and he takes it!

http://i103.piczo.com/view/3/u/g/f/0/r/y/k/u/w/z/t/img/t304466939_70289_5.gif 7-5, 4-6, 5-4 and serving for the set.

Oh no! Double-faults on break point and doesn't serve out to take the set. :(

5-5

These matches are exhausting. :lol:

Then he gives it right back. Dammit! :banghead:

Then he gives it right back. Dammit! :banghead:

Unbelievable match, isn't it? Cilic is playing out of his mind. :banghead:

5-6 and serving to go to a tiebreak.

Keep saying doh

comeon juan! let's go!

Crap! Cilic takes the third set on another shaky service game. Cilic leads 5-7, 6-4, 7-5.

Delpo's first service percentage in that set had to be very low.
----
EDIT: checking stats, first service percentage that set was low: 33 of 61 = 54 %

i'm soooo not a fan of eurosport's commentary. i thought that espn's was bad....

Mi no gustar :(

57 :o

:lol: CBS is worst

Try espn en espanol :) they are funny

:o dudeee go home

what dude?

damn it i just lost my livestream/

as long as it's not mary carillo i'm happy

The one that sells icecream (cilic)

Oh, a beautiful lob by Juanito to make it 2-2. Vamos!!!! :rocker2:

Iam not seeing the light :rolls: Yet

oh lol.

The one that sells icecream (cilic)

I keep waiting for him to cool off. Juanito is going to have to take this match. He is not getting any freebies.

Ohhhhh! Nice hold again. 3-3

33

that shot was BAD ASS!

Sorry but he has his wrist bothering him
and he called the doc for his foot so I prefer if he gives up here and not in the next match where the injuries could be worst
I hope Iam wrong :o



Edit: freaking iPod writes what he wants

that shot was BAD ASS!

He's had a couple of miraculous defensive passing shots, one on that break point. He is soooo clutch! :worship:

@kai :lol: yah my iphone is the same... you'd think after a billion times of writing fuck that it wouldn't try and put a different word haha

gah! delpo!

Sorry but he has his wrist bothering him
and he called the doc for his foot so I prefer if he gives up here and not in the next match where the injuries could be worst
I hope Iam wrong :o

Edit: freaking iPod writes what he wants

Foot problem is with blisters on his toes, so not as much of a worry as his wrist. He's been trying to get his toes comfy and has had them taped, which has made it tough on his footwork. Cilic was exploiting it by hitting all these drop shots in the second and third sets to make Juan run laterally, but he has stopped doing it so much the last 10 games.

Another sick defensive passing shot!! 0-15 on Cilic's serve!

Edit:

Mis-hit 30-30

that was a cute sound from delpo haha

that was a cute sound from delpo haha

"That was not a seagull" :lol:

Okay, now I'm scared... :bolt: Go for it, fighter!

Okay, now I'm scared... :bolt: Go for it, fighter!

Hi Ellen :wavey:

Phewwww! He made some great shots to hold again. This match has been stress personified. Match of the tourney I think so far as both players levels have been so high.

======EDIT

3 BPS....

There he is :bounce: Our fighter.

:woohoo:

YESSSSS!!! Now serve it out this time!! :bigclap:

What a lethal forehand that was :worship:

:unsure:

Iam talking long term :p

vamos!

OMG, what a match!! :eek:

Vamos Juanito!!!!! :woohoo:

What a lethal forehand that was :worship:

He's starting to get pissed off and ignoring the crowd noise. A good sign. :p

------EDIT

Serving now 1-2, 5th set

Ellen, are you and Noleta watching Henin-Wickmayer too? 6-5 on serve...two good matches on at same time.

Didn't like that, when he gave up the rally. And now the break :tears:

He's starting to get pissed off and ignoring the crowd noise. A good sign. :p

Serving now 1-2, 5th set

Ellen, are you and Noleta watching Henin-Wickmayer too? 6-5 on serve...two good matches on at same time.

I am keeping an eye on the scores, yes. Noleta is watching it. But yeah, it seems to be a good match too.

Dammmmit!! :mad:

Shaky service game again, and Juan is broken at 30-40.

Now down 1-3 in the last set. :sad:

Arghhh, 2-5 :unsure:

Arghhh, 2-5 :unsure:
:sobbing:

Please at least go down swinging!

3-5. He needs to break here or......

==========
30-30 C'mon, Mr. Fighter, Mr. Clutch!!

Dammmitt Bp lost on ace..Deuce...

Bp again!!

Crap! So close....:sad:

So here it ends... :awww: He can use some rest now.

Knew it :(

So here it ends... :awww: He can use some rest now.
:sobbing:

Avoid Rosie for a couple of hours until pain wears off.... :sobbing:

Knew it :(

Sorry, Kai. :hug:

Cilic played his best today and Juan wasn't 100%. It was a great match except for the outcome.

what was that! :sad::sad::sad:
hell :sad:

damn bloody hell:sad:
yeah, Delpo wasnt 100% himself:sad:
I really dont know whats wrong with him:sad:
Im so worried:sad: but Im sooooo sad now:sad:
God!:sad:

Awesome, thrilling match even if the result wasn't what we wanted.
:worship: to both our hero and Cilic

:worship: DELPO = HUEVOS!!! :worship:

Lau, I went with nikolay :D

:eek: Qué barbaridad!! traidora!! vendepatria!! :o xDD no, joda :rolls: yo era igual con Safin ;)


that was a cute sound from delpo haha

You mean that scream with his face looking skywards? Kinda high pitched scream?? I laughed at that one!! I wasn't expecting such a high sound come out of his usually lowish voice :lol:

This match has been stress personified

True...I was with friends though so I think I suffered the Blake match more...
That's why I wasn't here :p plus my pc is on another room and I miss the points :lol:

i want to cry but there's no tear , i'm still in shock :speakles:
maybe tomorrow i'll be crying :sobbing:

my poor boy :hug: you did your best , i love you anyway :angel:

indeed rawalya
I m still in shock too
just cant believe it :sad:

Yeah he did his best, left everything on the court, I think he made a great tournament

Love you Juan, you're my idol :worship:

Jajakaajajajajaja mi amiga me mata si voy con pico (?)

Today is heartbreaking...:sad:

But, anyway, he is still healthy, full of talent. People will see that.

He is the best.

Well I would have liked that he move on of course but I like Cilic as well. Started following both of them at the same time. So now I hope Cilic keeps moving on!! Go rest that wrist JM!

i am so so shattered i cant belive it, and i cant belive how frustrated i saw him today!thats what ultimatly lost him the match, but he played so good, it doesnt seem right that he is out this early...i waited all this time and my AO ended in one night delpo and feña beaten on the same day:sobbing:

you got to go?

i waited all this time and my AO ended in one night delpo and feña beaten on the same day:sobbing:

Oh, my, I hear you on that... Let's cry together... :tears::tears:

That was a battle, with himself, the idiots in the crowd, and Cilic. I can't believe I stayed up until 4:30am to watch the entire thing (I had to eat a large handful of candy corn, aka almost pure sugar, to try to stay awake). I was sad in the end, but now he can get some rest and heal. He has to be exhausted.

Jajakaajajajajaja mi amiga me mata si voy con pico (?)
xD why??
i am so so shattered i cant belive it, and i cant belive how frustrated i saw him today!thats what ultimatly lost him the match, but he played so good, it doesnt seem right that he is out this early...i waited all this time and my AO ended in one night delpo and feña beaten on the same day:sobbing:
I know, all my guys are out too, Safina withdrew...:sad:
We need a group hug!! :hug:

That was a battle, with himself, the idiots in the crowd, and Cilic.

Yes, poor Juan gets really pissed off at those things :awww:
He must be devastated both physically and because of the sadness, I hope he moves on quickly and takes a well deserved good rest!

:hug:

Well I would have liked that he move on of course but I like Cilic as well. Started following both of them at the same time. So now I hope Cilic keeps moving on!! Go rest that wrist JM!

Aww your really sweet :hug:!I really thought everyone on here was going to be like I hate Cilic :lol:!It's nice to see people appreciated the match even though Juan lost.

And I am totally with you I started watching and loving them around the same time!So even though I'm really sad that Juan lost I'm still happy for Marin(I really hope you guys don't hate me for that :unsure:).

Aww your really sweet :hug:!I really thought everyone on here was going to be like I hate Cilic :lol:!It's nice to see people appreciated the match even though Juan lost.

And I am totally with you I started watching and loving them around the same time!So even though I'm really sad that Juan lost I'm still happy for Marin(I really hope you guys don't hate me for that :unsure:).

Sure, we love our boy but we're not blind, we can see Marin was very good ;)
It was such a good match because both of them were there. Same with Blake: it was an awesome match because both played great :)
We don't hate you :smooch: I can't say I'm what you call "happy" for Marin but he deserved it, both were good and, like Delpo said, this time is was his turn. He wished him good luck :yeah:

I'd totally rather hug my boy than punch Marin on the face :haha:

you got to go?

yeah kell got two tickets and was nice enough to give me one!

it was even worse to watch it live because i couldnt turn the match off like i would if i was home, i just covered my eyes and didnt watch.:scared:

Aww your really sweet :hug:!I really thought everyone on here was going to be like I hate Cilic :lol:!It's nice to see people appreciated the match even though Juan lost.


i'm one of the people who quite fond of Marin , why not? :D he's cute!
this is the very first time he's made me sad :sad: but he was better so he won



I'd totally rather hug my boy than punch Marin on the face :haha:

LOL leave that part to me, i'll punish his lovely face with my :kiss: and he'll be scared to death :lol:

i really want to :hug: Juan too , he deserves hundreds of hugs for his sadness :devil:

Sure, we love our boy but we're not blind, we can see Marin was very good ;)
It was such a good match because both of them were there. Same with Blake: it was an awesome match because both played great :)
We don't hate you :smooch: I can't say I'm what you call "happy" for Marin but he deserved it, both were good and, like Delpo said, this time is was his turn. He wished him good luck :yeah:

I'd totally rather hug my boy than punch Marin on the face :haha:

I agree it was an amazing match!I hate it when they play each other because I love them both,yet at the same time It's great to see them playing against each other :inlove:!

I'd rather you hug Juan then punch Marin in the face too :lol:!Because if you did punch him it might be war :boxing: :lol:.No I'm just joking your to nice to start war with :hug: I would probably just nurse Marin back to life :smooch:.

I'm sorry Marin made you sad.Truthfully he made me sad too because I love Juan more(Don't tell the other Marin fans this :lol:).I decided this the other day when they were playing against each other It hit me out of nowhere(Or maybe it was when he made that funny high pitched yell :lol:) I was like oh yeah I not only want Juan to win more but I love him way more!

I also agree that Marin is cute!He reminds me of Mario Ancic :inlove:.

Hey btw tashanv, I'm missing your name :scratch: sorry :lol:

I don't find him particularly cute...but he's not bad either...

That would be fun :lol:.Then the three of us could go stalking Juan afterward :lol:!

Ahaha!! the high pitched yell was amazing!! :worship: totally unexpected, sounded like a weird bird :haha:

I know that was amazing you rarely see him show any kind of emotion during a match so that was awesome!He got angry quit a few times during the match.It was very cute :inlove: (I know I'm weird :lol: ).

Hey btw tashanv, I'm missing your name :scratch: sorry :lol:

That's okay :lol:.My name is Tasha.I was rather surprised that the name Tasha was already taken on here so i just added my middle and last initial to my name.What's your name?

Nice name :))) My real name is Laura, but Sileithel is also ok ;)

About me, I really dont have anything against Marin but :
1- he is the cause why Delpo isnt playing anymore, and the cause of that I have to wait till next tournament to see him.
2- he has forbidden me from watching the game of my two most favorite players playing each other! my favorite game! ( Delpo and Andy: BUT I LOVE DELPO TOO MUCH AWAY THAN ANDY)
3- he beat Andy!!!!!!

so Im begining to add marin to the stepank and murray list!ufffffff
Im just so inlove with Delpo, and everything upset him, upsets me too!
but Im sure that he isnt upset from any player! cos he is such a noble man
JUST Missing him so so so much
really
I would give my laptop away to have just one hour with him, or even 10 or 5 minutes
God! :S

Yeah!! Count me in for that!! :bounce:

These poor guys don't have a prayer with us around do they :lol:?But hey we cant help it that there hot right :hearts:
.
No, it was very cute!! Or maybe I'm :crazy: too xD

I totally understand you Evie :hug:!It really sucks that we are going to have to sit here and wait for who knows how long for Juans next tournament!And it always sucks when you miss the chance to watch a match your looking forward to!And for your sake I'm also sorry that he beat Andy :hug:!But Marin is a really nice guy and he's got a really great style of game if you could put all that other stuff behind I think you could get to like him!And at the end of the day he's just trying to win like everyone else!But I do respect and understand your point of view even if you hated Marin you love Juan so that's enough for me to like you :) :lol:!

tasha http://imgsrv2.tennisuniverse.com/mtf/images/smilies/hug.gif

I dont hate anyone really , but its just my big love to Delpo making me not paying even a small attention to others :D

Actually, I think, to some extent, Marin and Juan are quite alike. Juan is a quite man and Marin seems also quite. And I find that the celebrating way Marin use, make a fist, and the expression in his eyes, is quite like Juan. Last year this time, Juan nearly use the same celebrating way and even the similar expression in eyes. Marin imitates Juan, hiahia~

Thanks :hug:!I have an aunt named Laura :)!

Hehe! you'll never forget me then :lol:

What is his protected ranking now?

Hey there where's everyone?
Woo!! Go Juan!

My God...he dropped his racket and then called the doctor...I'm SCARED

I think we've moved to the 2011 thread, Lau!

LMAO xD :rolls:
Well... don't ask me conscience and clearness of mind at 8 in the morning :lol:

Oh ffs- too many errors today. Makes it so much harder for himself.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Good thing I have to go soon as I don't think I can deal with this.

Hoping for a good draw in Stockholm.
He's been unlucky this year as well, but he should reach finals here.

Not a bad draw, but there will be some tricky opponents like Rochus or Nalbandian. I like his chances to reach final here, let's just hope he won't fuck this up like at L.A.

This is a very good draw- let's hope the travel and weeks off don't slow him down and that he finds his court rhythm quickly!

Most likely Blake in the second round- like James but this is not the time to turn the clocks back:p

He was stupid to miss the asian swing, let's just hope he is not off form again. I don't want to see another L.A.

Starts on Tuesday. If he serves 80% of DC serving, there won't be problems at all. Stockholm is not the fastest but it's not Miami.Can't wait to see him play again.

I can feel your excitement across the ocean:p

I was a bit premature. Let's just wait and see his current form before predicting anything. :)

He has waited too long. Too many bad things, too many injuries. Time for better luck.
I'm sick and tired of the top players, fu*k them all.
Vamos JMDP.

:awww: why is he playing doubles with Baghdatis?! :sobbing: oh well...... VAMOS!! :lol:

I can only assume to practice his volleys :p Bet they will have fun together! Also I read somewhere that the Davis Cup captain wants a backup doubles team of Nalby and JM just in case so again practice.

playing doubles now and they have lost the first set 4-6
I hope Getta is watching this;)

how can one miss this?

:lol: Thankfully not me who is not working today.

boys stuck to their aggressive game plan in the second set :cat:

they both played so sweetly

and they won :D

I love watching doubles! Marcos found his groove at the end:yeah:

:D oooh well done!! I should have left earlier :lol: I had to go after they had lost the first set.... Maybe Im not allowed to watch :awww: :o

Well done. Now let's prepare for some singles action.

dear Mr. Del Potro, please win today.... dont like Blake....and it would be a great bday gift too :D Gracias :)

He will never learn. He needs matches, not one-month hiatuses.

I think it's time to consider retirement. It's clear he can't manage his career like a pro, skipping a month right after his best match this season. Seems like he's the victim of his injuries and stupid career management. His coach is surely an idiot. Even an amateur coach would have told him to not to miss important tournaments.
Now look at the result: old players well over 30 beating him easily. It is the LOW of this year.
Not much else to say at the moment. Disappointing as anything.

retirement? right :o

Why is it that when players lose a match they need to retire from tennis? Seriously?! :o

Bad day at the office......he's young and he'll bounce back.... I wouldnt worry about this. ;)

Wouldn't worry?
His season has been a catastrophe so far even if he's coming back from that injury. He should have easily won this tournament instead of crushing out in the 1st round to an old guy.

yeah wouldnt worry..... have you seen how blake was playing?

Seriously.... he's 23! His best years are still to come. So he lost today, to an "old guy"... big deal.... He'll figure out what he did wrong and fix it or try to fix it. No need to scream retirement ... please :lol:

but if you think he should retire, be my guest.... I think he'll be fine. :shrug:

you taint Delpo's fanbase with such reprehensible and deplorable behaviour.

I'm just bitter. My favorite player's career is a catastrophe. How to think smartly now?

I see where Lawrence is coming from. This is not just one loss, he has been crap since Wimbledon and mostly because he chose to rest instead of playing.
You don't take a month off after the form he showed in the DC.
He needs better career management and surely a better fitness coach. I know he is tall and injury prone, but he was so much fitter back in 2009. Look at him now, he has put on some weight, he is terribly slow and lethargic. He needs changes, otherwise he might as well retire, because playing part time is not going to cut it.

Thank you Svetlana. You understand my post.

Anyway, we should not expect anything good in the rest of this season. Vienna looks an easy tournament, but he will surely find ways to lose the first match or the second.

lawrence i jus wanna give you a hug:hug:, i mean tbh i was always a fan of delpo, even when he first came out on tour, i wanted delpo to win his first ever slam, he was my fave to win the usopen back in 09 i chose him as my second fave to win(nadal my 1st), when i watched that match between delpo and fed i was cheering my *** off for delpo, i really wanted him to beat fed, when he won in 5 sets jus like when rafa won in 5 sets in wimby 08 i cried like a baby when those two won against fed in 5 sets, but delpo is still young and he will find a way to get back into former top 10 mode, give him some time im sure he'll find a way....

Oooh WTF in straight sets? Sigh. He should've come to Beijing and Shanghai, at least Shanghai. 1st, it's mandatory, make time for Davis Cup is just a CRAPPY excuse. 2nd, you earn more money attending a masters in CHINA. 3rd, you can meet with Mardy. Sigh. I rly don't see how he is making all his plans. His team is better than this, really.

Ok now who doubted that Delpo's forum would need a moderator;)
Surely not me. Keep your cool folks; things happen that you don't agree or like but we are not the player nor his team here.

Well? Slow clay in Spain will be very difficult but if the Argentine team don't believe in themselves and say they don't have a chance then they might as well not bother to show up. All I care about is that they do show and they put on a good fight for what they all want so much.

Onto Vienna!

All the Argentines out of Stockholm all in the same day;) Makes you want to shout................

its kinda depressing if you ask me, i think moscow is probably the most sickness spreading tournament of the whole week maybe possibly the whole year

I have a feeling that Vienna will be another catastrophe. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Vamos Juan!
