2011 Week 1 Livescoring thread

Will be opened when play gets going :)

Berdych choking serving for the match in exo :spit:

Overrule drama part.2 was amusing :p

Once a choker, always a choker.

Saying that Tomas taking the absolute shit out of the ball now, this is the old Tomas. :lol:

Good match overall. Epic match point :haha:

Robin striking the ball quite well.

SoderKing overpowering Clownga:banana: NID

This is unplayable from Soderling, fucking incredible to say the least.

Soderling even doing some S&V :eek::bolt:

Fucking hell at that lob at 5-5* in the TB by Tsonga :eek:

Soderling 6-4 6-7(5)

It doesn't get better than that. That lob was ridiculous.

That return :worship:

i reckon soderling will win this event

soderling owns tsonga anyway

Break :o

There is the break.
Does Söderking volley well today? If so, then you already see Pistolesi's work. (I only started to watch a few minutes ago, that's why I ask)

Wasn't too bad I reckon.

Soderling seems to be playing in second gear. Clownga is treating this match as a real thing :spit:

Good to see Jojo using is volleying skills though.

Good to see Jojo on court at all. It's been a while :sad:

this happens alot in exhos, fight fight fight in the 2nd then just crumble in the third to the fave

1st DF on match point. Ouch.

Soderling won the first set agains Federer. (7-6) :eek:

why is it a shock?

he beat him here last year

atp doesnt want anymore fed vs nadal finals

why is it a shock?

he beat him here last year

atp doesnt want anymore fed vs nadal finals

Atp Federer-Nadal finals would be great.But another exho i think it`s a bit too much.They just had 2 exhos played in Zurich and Madrid.

i agree, i think its been agreed beforehand with the dubai organisers for 1 of them if not both to lose today

Sodie won the first set 7-6, but Rogie broke Sodie twice to win the second set 6-3. Rogie now up 1-0 in the third set.

GSM Federer

6-7 6-3 6-3

i agree, i think its been agreed beforehand with the dubai organisers for 1 of them if not both to lose today

I don't think so, that's lost revenue.

Yes, Federer won. :)

so it looks like nadal has been the one in liason with abu dabi headqaurters in the last few days.

its been decided, berdych vs fed final.

rafa listen to abu dabi orders and lose please

Berdych finally playing well against Rafa :o

Rafa broke in the 1st set- 5:4 now.

Sorry, Certinfy, my friend. :hug:

Berdych finally playing well against Rafa :oLol. He pretty much always plays like this, but when things get a bit more important, he folters. And again this time.

Berdych finally playing well against Rafa :oEr, so that's why he lost the 1st set? :D

Some of these forehands from Nadal are unreal anyway :eek:

Oh well, just try your best Tomas :)

Nothing against Nadal at all, but Berdych to win in 3, pllleeeaaasseee. It's way to early in the year for a Federer-Nadal final and the stupidity that will ensue pre and post-match.

they are giving it their all, $250,000 prize waiting for who wins tomorrow will get you trying

Fuck this, Berdych isn't even playing that bad :o

Fuck this, Berdych isn't even playing that bad :oNo he isn't. But it isn't impressive as well. He is just playing the same as last year post-wimbledon. If he continues like this things will be going downwards faster then upwards.

Just started watching the match, how have both been playing? Are they rusty or there's a good level of tennis?

Rafa's level is good for an exho.

Hmm...I'm not seeing anything special from Berdych. At least nothing that could trouble cheater.

Rafa's level is good for an exho.

So it seems, his forehand seems to be working well as usual :worship:

berdych is looking constipated when he's hitting his backhand

Berdych just missed an easy shot, not looking good for him.

And there is the usual collapse of Berdych :haha:

Looks like this is over.

Too good this Nadal...

4:1 in the 2nd set. Rafa will win the match. Tomorrow, he plays Federer. Hmmm, interesting! :)

8 points in a row for Berdych.

Nadal 6-4 *4-3

Oops, Berdych broke. 4:2 now for Rafa. I hope he'll hold 2 service games and win the match.

I'm not very happy with his performance today. It'll be difficult tomorrow against Federer. :sad:

P.S. 4:3

Looks like I talked too soon :lol:

Well now it is over.

Oops, Berdych broke. 4:2 now for Rafa. I hope he'll hold 2 service games and win the match.

I'm not very happy with his performance today. It'll be difficult tomorrow against Federer. :sad:

P.S. 4:3

Yeah cos Federer looked FLAWLESS today :lol:

Olderer is playing like a man possessed. Doesn't he realize this is an exo :o

Olderer is playing like a man possessed. Doesn't he realize this is an exo :o

:lol: This looks more like an exo than their charity matches.

Olderer is playing like a man possessed. Doesn't he realize this is an exo :ocheater's just getting warmed up ;)

Rafa :hatoff:

Nadal :spit: :haha: playing so bad

Damn they're murdering the ball now.

:cool:
do it Rafa, do it

great pass champ :)

Rafa punishes Olderer for net rushing :yeah:

nadal hasnt improved at all.
backhand still shit

lethal shots from Rafa :yeah:

nadal hasnt improved at all.
backhand still shit

:haha:

Raflat :hatoff:

Come on Rafa. Break the old man :D

nadal hasnt improved at all.
backhand still shit

Can't expect him to improve that fast. Forehand has gotten a little bit better though. He's flattening it out more often (i.e. a few times a match instead of the usual zero times :lol:).

Federer!! Awesome! Great point. Backhand is beautiful.

Well played again. Fed looking really good. BP Federer.

Nadal saves a SP and holds.

Why did Skysports stop their broadcast?

Exo or not you can always count on Federer's backhand to embarrass him on break point :worship:

Exo or not you can always count on Federer's backhand to embarrass him on break point :worship:Did not think that was embarrassing. He tried to take it on and missed it. Too bad. Better than his slice floating low in the net or going way long or landing midway.

nadal will need a miracle to get into the 2nd week of the australian open this year.

he has lost his clutch play and his patience.

this is not the nadal i want.
i want old nadal back.

tie break :scared:

Federer! Please continue to play like this through the entire season...

Nadal :o

Lol. after I said that he lost 3 points in a row..

Federer! Please continue to play like this through the entire season...

:haha:

Yes!!! Fed is choking.

Incredible point!

My stream switched from Nadal/Fed exo to darts. Biggest fail ever!

Where are you all watching?

And again Federer looks to be losing a set in which he was the better player :haha:

He must have a record of those against Nadal.

Lol, was that a choke or what?

Where are you all watching?

Teledeporte (spanish television)

I love Federer's backhand ;)

set rafa

Lol... Olderer was up two minis and lost a set :haha:

Go home Fed. :o

:haha: Fucking joke of a player this Federer.

Great too see all of those Nadal tards here!

I don't really care about the outcome of the match, I just hope that Rafa is at a good level of play for the beginning of the year. Counting on a choke from Federer does not seem to be a good sign. Wish he would play aggressively in every single point.

100% agree with u

good stuff Fed, let Nadal knock himself silly trying to win this nothing event, you take Doha and AO as usual

Great too see all of those Nadal tards here!

Nobody is taking this match seriously :zzz:

why the fark cant nadal hit his backhand like the aussie open 2009?

and as always nadal's returning is a horror show. any good server can make rafa look a total fool on return.

You are being too hard on him. This isn't WTA, breaking serve isn't that easy.

He could be hiding his new backhand until the first real match. :lol:

Olderer going for BH return winners :spit:

Or how about the US Open 2010? He stepped in to the down the line backhand a number of times. If he did that consistently he'd win a lot easier.

Rafa in clown mode right now :o

Rafa 7-6 4-3*

Nobody is taking this match seriously :zzz:

:lol:

Nadal's defense :yeah:

nadal is no longer the clutch player he used to be back in the days.

on important points, he get tight and just blows his chance.

im sad that he has lost that incredible ability.

It's just unbelievable that people are carried away by an useless exho.
The result of this in COMPLETELY irrelevant and has NO impact on AO. It has no impact on anything, in fact.

Federer was amazing on that point... wow.

Sloppy tennis by both

Rafa stop with those clown slices :o

Interesting... instead of rushing all the way to the net, he went to the midcourt and stayed there. Sure enough Rafa's shot was just volley-able. We could see Federer doing this more often especially if they meet at Wimbledon again.

Tiebreak

Another TB :rolleyes:

Federer missing a basic shot lol

4-1 Nadal

Another bad tiebreak for federer

Terrible miss by nadal

It's all over for federer

It's all over for federer.. Wasteful shite

Good match, both players played well but Federer failed in some important moments. And Nadal needs to improve his BH. The early HC season looks to be very interesting.

im sad that he has lost that incredible ability.

Geez, you're like me during a regular, semi-important/important match for Rafa.

Nadal: *misses a breakpoint chance*

Me: "Retire now Nadal! You've lost your mental edge!"

:lol:

Slam No.10 :yeah:

Decent match. Both guys were playing in second gear.

lol Federer didn't even challenge that call. :haha:

The both thought it was good to end it right there.

Neither player played great, but both also showed that they have the game still obviously, it was decent. Rafa seems to be playing more and more aggressively, and moving better. Served well when it mattered. Roger is much better with his BH cross court but it still breaks down too much, he was too inconsistent off the ground and returning in general to win today. But he also served well in moments and was generally aggressive.

Both are WAY ahead of the rest of the pack outside of Nole/Murray.

evgeny is having a great start to the year again, down 1-5 to reynolds in the first set

Bobby is a bad match-up for Korolev. Also, he hasn't played in ages. I don't expect much from Korolev until around March at the earliest.

Chiudinelli losing the first set 2-6 in Doha qualies to Marko Djokovic :retard:

chiudinelli takes second set 6-4, up early break over marko djokovic

taking control now

Come on Kubot!!!!!!!! :)

BP for Kubot

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREAK! 2-1

Dammit Daniel :o

Kubot serving for the set. :) (5-2)

Kubot won first set 6-2!!! :bounce:

Congrats Kubot, 6-2, 6-2. :bounce:
I will sleep very well. :)

Damn, Poto is slow around the court on HC. Has absolutely no acceleration and it's like he's moving on cement.

Players need to attack to Murray's FH side more. Only Fedal do it consistently. He doesn't move as well to his FH or hit it as well on the FH side.

potito serving like dr. ivo....

BAD BAD miss by Potito...

Mugray BSing his way to a first set :zzz: So tired of him benefiting from opponent's chokes :o

Nishikori's serve is absolutely dire. He needs to work on it ASAP if he wants to break into top 30.

Pushlic

Robert Kendrick took 1st set 7-6 aginst Denis Gremelmayer. Cmon Kendo keep it up!

Mugin Cilic BP conversion 1/11 :spit:

cilic struggling to get a grip on this match.

Nishikori could just turn this in the next few minutes, saved so many BPs

lol, i see marin's horrible play in tiebreakers from last year continues this year

bageled in that tiebreak by kei

Shocker of a 10 minutes from Cilic, narrowly got out of his own service game but horror breaker.

"The tie break King" Marin Cilic :worship:

Kei:bowdown:
Trash the overachiever now

Kei Kei all the way.

A early break. Looks like the Croat had collapsed.

Come On Kori. Take out this mug.

marin in real trouble now, broken to 15 to start the set

meanwhile GGL chokes serving for the match against kukushkin, double faulting on break point.

Kei Kei all the way.

aha

lol

i wolud probably put this one into the court

What the hell is GGL doing? Missed mp on own serve and now losing the second...

GGL now up 4-1 in the tiebreak

kei 4-2 over cilic in the 3rd set

cilic has not earned a sinlge point on return this entire set

GGL got over it.

Doesn't look like Cilic will.

GGL fixed things fortunately.

But now AHM is screwing up.

Stick a fork in Marin, he's a done tom turkey.

yep

and not just this match im afraid

Well let's put it this way, it's a bad sign if he has NO legs left after 2.5 hours in the FIRST MATCH OF THE YEAR.

It's just me that hates RRH serve motion?

davy cruising so far over fognini

is he playing that good or is fognini making him look good?

A little bit of both. Davy is playing a bit better than the end of the season, but Fognini makes error after error.

Awful stuff from DGT.

First set to Bubka, 6-0.

sergei bubka just bageled gimeno-traver in less than 20 minutes:eek:

bubka also serving 94% with 5 aces

meh, still unnatural for me to see name 'Sergei Bubka' in association in tennis. And the boy looks a lot like his dad as well. hmmm

Verdasco :o :rolleyes:

verdasco and stepanek in trouble early as both are down a break to becker and kamke

break point saved by kamke

second break point for stepanek

saved by kamke

Becker 5-0* Verdasco.

3rd break point for stepanek

and there he has it 4-4

Verdasco loses the first set 6-1 to an opponent serving only 35% first serves.

:smash:

Sorry, not watching it at the moment - how the hell is Becker creaming Verdasco?

kamke serving for the first set over stepanek

2 set points gone

1 more

set kamke 7-5

verdasco also waking up

Sorry, not watching it at the moment - how the hell is Becker creaming Verdasco?

Not watching either, but my guess is by Verdasco playing as shit as he has been since clay season basically ;)

Verdasco :help:

stepanek breaks early in the 2nd set

I know verdasco is crap but losing 6-1 to becker serving only 35%? I think the 100th ranked player could manage more games than that :help:

Becker serving for the match now and kamke was a double break down but gets one back

*15-40, go verdy.

*30-40, getting real close now.

:rolleyes:becker, idiot

stepanek and kamke are going a 3rd set, steps blazes through the 2nd set 6-1

break back...5-5

Becker :lol:

Fernando went down 0-30 when he broke to stay in the match. Deuce now.

becker serving 5-6 0-15

Granollers OUT due to a right ankle injury. LL for Luczak.

verdy takes second set 7-6(2)

Not watching either, but my guess is by Verdasco playing as shit as he has been since clay season basically ;)

your right, for the first set only,

verdy was holding serve well in the second and the third has just started with 3 deuces on becker's serve now.

Verdasco broken 0-2 :o

Yes, get out of here Verdasco

Anderson has lost three points on serve and already has 12 aces. :spit: How terrible is this Luczak return?

Anderson has lost three points on serve and already has 12 aces. :spit: How terrible is this Luczak return?

5'9" Berankis had 23 aces against him yesterday:devil: Probably not too good...

4 games in a row for Berankis *4-3

Ricardas breaks *4-3 in the 2nd

I don't have idea, what does Baghdatis.

Bhambri is just :vomit:

my eyes are bleeding

+1

Seriously How On Earth Did Bhambri Manage To Win A Junior Slam?

Just How?

I need to know, i VANT to know.

Haha I've always wondered myself why people think he is the future of tennis.

Seriously How On Earth Did Bhambri Manage To Win A Junior Slam?

Just How?

I need to know, i VANT to know.

same question here

matches like this should be banned or smth

that idiot is just nailing every single ball in the net

disgusting

and a DF on a break point...

retardation at its best...

Bhambri is the worst player ever

and I know he is young and shiet but even my grandpa has more talent than him ...

Gulbis choked serving for the match :spit: :haha:

look at that

ernests gulbis, robin hasse and sherif sabry all just got broken when serving for the match/set

..really good guys

Hanescu's 5-0 lead in the TB is gone :tape:

Come on Ernests!!!

Bring in the Schooling

Gabashvili :smash:

0/7 BPs in the 2nd converted.

Sherif the BIGGEST MORON ever!!!!1 i'm so disgusted with that mug right now

cost me a lot

mug served for the match and got broken twice in a row afterwards

now in 3rd that mug Veic is ****** him

gggggrrrrrrrrr

Schoorel FTW!

This kid Olderer is playing has a decent serve.

Schoorel showing who's the boss.

This Schoorel looks pretty good. Flat, massive strokes from the both sides. It can be more tight than anyone thought.

Schoorel in control. Roger will have to play his best tennis.

This Schoorel looks pretty good. Flat, massive strokes from the both sides. It can be more tight than anyone thought.

Have no fear, he can outplay Olderer all he wants, everyone knows he'll choke in a crucial moment :zzz:

Am I feared? Just flattering this young Dutch.

Serving 80% and having a big serve certainly helps Schoorel to hold serve

Serving at 80% and lefty to boot :eek: No way can he sustain this level.

Federer in holiday-mode. Just waiting for the proper moment.

this dutch is good.

He seems very talented but It has to be a reason why he's so low-ranked. Probably he won't handle on the big points.

Serving at 80% and lefty to boot :eek: No way can he sustain this level.

He averages about 75% first serves :p

This guy is a huge server. Hasn't faced a single BP and backs up his serve with flat grounstrokes. I guess when his serve % drops, he'll lose.

Does Veic finished yet?

3 SP's!!!

Disgraceful game from Fed.

Rofl, Fed is joking around with him now.

schoorel wastes 0-40

Wow.... Olderer super lucky to escape set points

He seems very talented but It has to be a reason why he's so low-ranked. Probably he won't handle on the big points.

He only started playing a decent schedule in 2010.
Last year around this time Schoorel was playing futures, his ranking has improved very steadily ever since.
There's no telling where Schoorel will peak, but I'm pretty sure the top 100 is possible this year.

Schoorel had shit in his pants at SP, as predicted.

Going to be TB and inevitable Schoorel choke :zzz:

Going to be TB and inevitable Schoorel choke :zzz:

Or in other words, Federer will raise his game.

Fed with a mini. NID.

Federer should end this embarrassing 0-4 streak in tie-breaks since WTF.

Does anyone still think Schoorel will win this TB? :spit:

No one expected that. K.Beck won't even give a fight to Nadal, so I don't get your disgust.

Ah, good old choking. 3 UE in a row to give Olderer the set. Bagel in the second.

top ten material this schoorel, way better than all the other young flops that are hyped here (dimitrov,tomic etc.)

Ah, good old choking. 3 UE in a row to give Olderer the set. Bagel in the second.hope it tasted good

cry some more
