2011 Roland Garros Livescoring / Commentary Thread

there goes the BH

:p the schedule sux!! they dont even give the players a chance to extend the match? if they do, the match will be postponed.. i hate the french

backhand starting to crack

First shank. Keep count.

gsm djokovic.

Federer playing great and still the one in trouble on serve 2-3 down. This match can only have one winner.

Federror is back

You know Federer's FH is great when he's able to win 16 slams with that pathetic BH.

Shank # 2.

shankerrer :o

watch djoker take the first bp that comes along.

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Djoker playing 50% and already up a break :haha:

Nole breaks :sport:

Fed playing so well but now down a break.

The Nole has woken up. Be afraid Rafa. Be very afraid.

Shankerer arrives and hands over the game

1st set done

Djokovic has had 2 BPs. Federer has had 8. Djokovic in 2 games. Federer in 3. Djokovic is winning

*sigh* oh fed. well looks like first set to nole.

federer really needs to keep the mindset of being aggressive every point. can't get caught in those CC BH rallies over and over

0-40 and 3 more bp wasted.

Federer playing great and still the one in trouble on serve 2-3 down. This match can only have one winner.

This. 29yo Fed can't play much better than that on clay, Djoker's fairly average by his recent standards - & Djoke's still ahead.

Dammit, gonna be broken again!

Breakerer?

nice return there

Roger's pushing too much. He can't play Novak's game and expect to win.

Fed into a return game again, needs to make these three count though.

0-40 but he wont break, NID.

Look at this. Federror will blow thes 3 BP

Olderer GOATing,

0-40 - Nole has him right where he wants him

No traction for Djokovic.

ok this is getting retarded, djokovic seems to get better with every match he plays, he is returning like a beast seriously there is barely any1 left who can stop him. i worry for the well-being of his haters...

huge forehands from djokovic

Oldgoaterer making a fool of himself, why?

You know Federer's FH is great when he's able to win 16 slams with that pathetic BH.

What backhand are you talking about :rolleyes:, the one i'm watching is a beauty :drool:

Look at this. Federror will blow thes 3 BP

0-40 - Nole has him right where he wants him

:lol:

thats the way, force the issue

oh god :(

WHOA HE ACTUALLY BROKE.

ahah

federer also playing better than his usual self.

Breakfest so far, but still the hitting quality is pretty good. :)

Though if Federer wins he'll probably get steamrolled come Sunday, so for the sake of tennis he should lose :sad:

That's about the only way this dude can win, with his FH.

Another mediocre match, though this one's better. 4-3, Fed played well there

He is good :yeah:

Roger's pushing too much.

Oh please...

finally!! :D

the match has been sooo exciting so far! :D

Thanks for nothing Nole.

its bizarre. fed is clearly by far the better player but he just cannot make it count. so frustrating to watch.

Grunterer :worship:

federer is too good for anyone in this tournament

playing better than in 2005

Nole needs to slow the game down a little. He's being too aggressive. This style would work very well in the USO though.

Fed needs to win the first set to have any chance. gsm otherwise.

Another mediocre match, though this one's better. 4-3, Fed played well there

lol this is not mediocre so far

Finally :worship:

C'mon Roger...

This is a bizarre match really, both guys are playing prety well but both guys are struggling on serve (djokovic more so, but fed's conversation rate is unspeakable)

Real finals anyway, enjoy it

beauty forehand

That forehand is unstoppable.

This Roger is good: too good it's weird

Federer just the better player so far.

If Fed can also find his serve Djokovic is in big trouble

servererererer!

NinjaFed

I am really enjoying this match so far. Very tense stuff.

wow very easy :D

federer is too good for anyone in this tournament

playing better than in 2005

No need to jinx. Nole will come through on his own

lol this is not mediocre so far

It's awesome so far. Both playing well.

Djokovic is playing bad :(

nole likes going 0-40 on his serve

fucking with federer's brain

It's awesome so far. Both playing well.

yep really good stuff

If Federer wins whole thing, who is #1?

No need to jinx. Nole will come through on his own

what is a jinx

whats olderer doing? should be tanking this

mug

some nice shotmaking so far in this match. Good to see two players who can actually hit solid winners and rocket FHs

If Federer wins whole thing, who is #1?

this match is a battle for the 'real #1' spot.

but to answer your questions: nadal would still be holding the #1 ranking

djokovic reminds me of lebron james....

RETURNERER

damn...

If Federer wins whole thing, who is #1?


Djokovic

http://tennislive.free.fr/

:(

You could cut tension with a knife. Tennis history in the making right here!

Federer has had far too shitty of a season to be number 1, even if he wins RG.

Fed's won same number of points down a game

Federer will go through patches this whole match where he looks unstoppable... and then he will put in a few games at a time where he gifts it to Novak. Case in point, he's played some amazing stuff so far and he's about to serve to stay in the set. Novak in 4 I'm thinking.

Fed looks more relaxed than Nole but i guess everyone expected this
Both have moments when they play very well and moments when both make so easy mistakes...but i think this is nothing unusual in the Fedole matches :p

Make a break and take the set Nole come on !!!

whats olderer doing? should be tanking this

mug

He has too much pride to tank I think.

If Federer wins whole thing, who is #1?
djokovic

He has too much pride to tank I think.

why would anyone want to tank a grand slam semi

Very underwhelming from Djokovic so far. Fed doesn't look like he can get any better ATM. This match is going to be decided on Djokovic's UE count and Federer's serve.

Returnovic

ugh dont blow this game

oh shit, 15-30

Cmon Novak, he's trying to fall apart. 2nd.

LOOOOL they just showed an earlier pre-match clip inside the locker room on French TV and Djoker was there changing and Fed passed by just in his towel (and presumably nothing underneath :)

i have a feeling this could go on to be a 5 setter

SP with a BH shank

These long returns are winning the match for Nole

Nervous BH from Fed

2 set pts for Djoker

shanks and 2nd serves this is more of what we're used to in recent times

nole doesn't have enough nerves to beat a healthy federer

only monofed

Nooo goddamn it

Clutch from Federer

omg clutcherer

4 awesome points from Fed

Stupid Roger is trying his best to give Rafa the title. :cuckoo:
Just face reality and focus on Wimbledon, please!

good save

Chokeeee. clutch from fed though.

Good hold from Fed.

that play worked but i think he should have hit that forehand in behind djokovic. gotta keep djokovic off balance, keep him slipping, keep his movement and rhythm off

I have a feeling if nole wins this set, then it will be a straight set win for him.

Clutcherer saves 2SP and holds :eek:

Fed escapes with some great shots.

5-5

you can see real tennis...players that enjoy the sport and play to win.

ChokeeeeStop that already, too much bullshitting about chokes on this forum.

Novak Slipovic

that was pretty funny

Novak's draw is so much tougher than lucky Rafa's! Delpo and Roger are so much better than Robin and Murray!

Stop that already, too much bullshitting about chokes on this forum.

this, seriously

Stupid Roger is trying his best to give Rafa the title. :cuckoo:
Just face reality and focus on Wimbledon, please!

Ya because its better to loose in the sf then the finals (not to mention he has a chance in the final. :rolleyes:
H2H means shit

Footwork is so shit. Falling apart. Set Federer

Hello '10 Novak. Long time no see :)

Novak's draw is so much tougher than lucky Rafa's! Delpo and Roger are so much better than Robin and Murray!

This is something usual

Time warning to Djokovic...

Unbelievable.

Timing violation for Nole
Bouncing the ball too much means he's nervous :scared:

OK, Djoker :lol:

Djokovic not impressed with the warning.

your the man NOLE!!!!

novak losing his composure there a bit

McDjokovic :)

That's right, give Djokovic a time violation for 23 seconds but not Nadal for 30 or 40. Fucking double standard.

Ya because its better to loose in the sf then the finals (not to mention he has a chance in the final. :rolleyes:
H2H means shitTrue, but match-ups has some importance. :P

fako abusing the rules and the umpire once again

Don't give him time violations you idiot! That always means that player is giving it a 110% right after that and 99/100 times wins that point. Thanks for gifting Novak this set.

nole should roar in the crowd's face after each set he wins

fed is history

Thank god for federer backhand

c'mon fed get it to tb please.

Great, great point.

Djoker needs to use some of that frustration he gave the umpire and win the set. :lol:

The Mugderer BH :facepalm:

Nole is pissed. And he should be. This whole fucking tourney Nadal has had the luckiest shit happen to him.

even though i'm generally a fan of nadal, i wish the umpires had the balls to give top players time violations more often. its bullshit to have to sit around for 40+ seconds at times waiting for them to serve

good match so far

Such a tense match. Love it:hearts:

That's right, give Djokovic a time violation for 23 seconds but not Nadal for 30 or 40. Fucking double standard.

whats the difference anyway? he could take an hour the next point, nothing is gonna happen.

What are the odds Djokovic will end up with a point penalty in this one?

I need some sedatives, please...

when nole shakes his finger to the umpire you know that nole is about to hit FO 2011 winner mode!

This is VERY tight.

nole should roar in the crowd's face after each set he wins

This

what a match

fed is scewed on this side of the net now LOL

Djokovic keeping his nose ahead just on the fact that he seems to be more motivated and wants this more
nice forehand there from roger

Great tennis!

would be a tragedy if fed lost this set. been playing so much better.

Stop getting in forehand rallies you dumbass.

nole should roar in the crowd's face after each set he wins

Too prove his 2 classes below Federer in sportsmanship? We already know that.

If this goes to a TB, I see Federer winning the breaker. He's getting more free points on the serve.

acerer too good

Now watch Serverer serve this set out in a tie break.

This is awesome so far.

Tiebreaker

Good tennis match this. :)

This is VERY tight.

I wish I had a chance to find out if your avatar is tight. :devil:

Fed will choke in tiebreak.

Stop getting in forehand rallies you dumbass.

i think nole should, fed cant rally with him

clutch 2nd serve

Bad feeelliiingggg

Breaker, feels the whole match hangs on it.

cmon fed

I wish I had a chance to find out if your avatar is tight. :devil:

she's a porn star so I'm gonna guess not ;)

Set Roger, he doesn't lose tiebreaks.

Tiebreak. Fed will probably take this.

In other news, this set alone is going to be about 70 minutes long or more. No way is this finishing today. I can't get over this scheduling, and this despite the first semi only going 3 sets. Just stupid.

Crap first point for both: Djoker pushed it, and Fed chokes

I wish I had a chance to find out if your avatar is tight. :devil:

Not any more. I've fucked her too often.

Not any more. I've fucked her too often.

:eek:

holy fuck amazing point

unfuckingbelievable

Ugh. Bad feeling for Djoker.

Holy shit, what a point by Fed.

What a point.

Vintage Fed :yeah:

What A Point!

This is bad, very bad.

He has zero traction

Olderer :scared:

this isnt real. bye

Nole's letting pressure get to him. Bah.

Df?

GOATerer, make it 1-4*!!

Is djokovic wearing the best possible shoes. :confused:

Scores anyone please? Stuck without A tv and laptop.

:lol: at JMac and his 'Djokovic needs a new pair of shoes b/c he's slipping a lot'

Fed's tactics to try and injure Novak are working pretty well, that ankle is bound to go at the next slip.

Mini break! Federer stepping it up like usual in a breaker

Mini-break for Roger.

In other news, this set alone is going to be about 70 minutes long or more. No way is this finishing today. I can't get over this scheduling, and this despite the first semi only going 3 sets. Just stupid.
absolutely beyond retarded.
only in fucking france.

this level is ridiculous. especially by roger. he HAS to take this set.

Well, now I won't have to watch any of the finals. Nice.

goatfed

Fed looks so fucking up for this.

Scores anyone please? Stuck without A tv and laptop.

tiebreak first set 4-2 federer

gotta keep hitting behind him like that, most effective way to deal with the way novak has been defending this year

I don't much mind Federer winning. I do mind Nadal remaining #1

Navratilova is not impressed. Not surprising, she's a well know Fed hater/Nadal fangirl.

nole *3-4

4 alll.....this set is so tight.

Thank you, bad UE

misserer taking over

I couldn't watch that stare even on TV. Almost killed me!

that was pretty funny

tiebreak first set 4-2 federer

Thanks

gtfo shankerer

Godfuckingdammit

Shankerer I LOOVE YOU

2 shanks ugh

fedclown

Federer shanking :o

jeez 2 shanked forehands in a row

2x amazing defense by Fed, followed by shanked forehand :mad:

Shankerer arrives in the TB.

Fed ffs should have had that.

Federer mishits putaway, 5-4 Djokovic. federer choking bad.

11th hour reappearance of shankerer...

Come On Fed!

Shankerer has now cornered the round-the-backhand-forehand market as well

Find a big serve and now!

5 all...

Nole Needs To Win The First Set Or Else

5-5, winner of this point has set pt

Shankerer vs Choker

Set point Roger! Take it!

Nole *5-6 Fed

set point federer...he will be gutted if he doesn't win this set with how he's played

SP Fed :yeah:

No no no no set pt Federer :'(

Old man with SP.

Fedal is not tennis.

fuck yes!

SP Fed. Mishitovic.

fuck yes!

And he takes it, well done.

incredible. 70 minutes.

Gross.

Goat Goat Goat Goat Goat.

YES
YES
YES

too bad it was a silly error

but still, fucking YES

mcenroe said djokovic sure choked on that shot. Federer takes the set. Pathetic from Djokovic. When it mattered he choked.

great set of tennis...we need nadal out of tennis!!!

LOL. Olderer BS'd his way to that point.

the death of tennis

Fuck me. One of the best sets of tennis you will EVER see.

There is more emotion in the crowd than a final!
