2011 Roland Garros Livescoring / Commentary Thread

45% First serves from Legenda :rolleyes:

Lol @ the clowns saying "If he has been playing like that, he'd be winning..." Did it ever occur to you that it's Nadal's game that's causing the opponent to go for more and play worse? Of course not. Haters gonna hate :bigwave:

Yeah, all of Nadal's short balls and u/es are making him play worse... :rolleyes:

Lol @ the clowns saying "If he has been playing like that, he'd be winning..." Did it ever occur to you that it's Nadal's game that's causing the opponent to go for more and play worse? Of course not. Haters gonna hate :bigwave:

The same fucking game you bag 'Mugray' for every fucking time you fucking hypocritical ****.

Good thing is that Soderling is coming up faster. I'm 100% sure that match will be better tennis

The way Nadal played at the end of the 2nd set and so far in the 3rd has been pretty good.

Now if only he could keep playing like this.

Yeah, all of Nadal's short balls and u/es are making him play worse... :rolleyes:

Uncle Toni's masterplan to spook Ljubicic out.

Lol @ the clowns saying "If he has been playing like that, he'd be winning..." Did it ever occur to you that it's Nadal's game that's causing the opponent to go for more and play worse? Of course not. Haters gonna hate :bigwave:
Are you watching the match? Ljubicic is missing standard rally shots. Just spraying them wide, or into the net.

The same fucking game you bag 'Mugray' for every fucking time you fucking hypocritical ****.

Mugray should grow some balls, freezes like a loser in slam finals. Don't compare the legends of the game to that ugly joke of a tennis player, you rotten teeth Britard.

Now if only he could keep playing like this.

IT'#s diffuclt when your oppponent is so old and so ugly that it demotivates you.

yeah claygoat giving up 3 BPs for playing so well

Uncle Toni's masterplan to spook Ljubicic out.

The foot faults worked for Fognini ;)

Nadal is Joke of a NO 1 player
Nole is gonna put him in his right place at the Finals!

Lol @ the clowns saying "If he has been playing like that, he'd be winning..." Did it ever occur to you that it's Nadal's game that's causing the opponent to go for more and play worse? Of course not. Haters gonna hate :bigwave:

Just retire from the internet and stop dribbling over your keyboard son.

OMG what a mug match! Legenda is utter shi, Nadal worse then ever.

Somebody please put Nadal out of his misery asap. :o

Nadal is there for the taking. Fed or Nole would destroy him at the moment, half decent Söderling or Murray will also destroy him as well.

lol this match, such a joke xD

Murray has retired according to reports.

Nadull getting broken

legenda in 5. nadull aint winning today

Ljubo usually does Nadal like sounds when he hits the ball? or is it a mind game :)? never noticed before but in that previous game he was groaning as high as nadal. Break legenda

Nadal begging to lose this tournament. :spit: C'mon, Djoker. Don't disappoint your friend

Murray has retired according to reports.

Really?

Nadal is Joke of a NO 1 player
Nole is gonna put him in his right place at the Finals!

Noletards will make Rafatards appear like a friendly and inert bunch.

wow... davy would have ripped nadal a new rectal passage

don't post it if its just a rumor. If Murray retired im sure eurosport would pick up on the statement in no time

Murray has retired according to reports.

you mean withdrawn..and where are you seeing this?

Really?

no...hes fine

wow... davy would have ripped nadal a new rectal passageIndeed. Absolutely ridiculous from Denko to lose to Veic and miss his opportunity.

Murray has retired according to reports.


Won't be surprised if Soderling loses in an epic 5 now

Nadal and his LUCK :rolleyes:

Noletards will make Rafatards appear like a friendly and inert bunch.
+1. This guy is a massive tool.

Thank God the Monfils-Ferrer match is starting. This Ljubo-Nadal is past the point of being unwatchable.

:rolleyes:

It will be painful against Sod

4:2 :sport:

Won't be surprised if Soderling loses in an epic 5 now

Nadal and his LUCK :rolleyes:

It has to run out sometime. Soderling ended it 09. Now he will repeat his heroics

don't post it if its just a rumor. If Murray retired im sure eurosport would pick up on the statement in no time

BBC said a minute ago he had a scan and there's no problems, they also said there were other positives because Troicki had food poisoning before his third round match and had to withdraw from the doubles because of it lol.

Nadal's body language is very depressing.

just some random tweets i got.

Anyway cmon Nadal finish this amateur off.

BBC said a minute ago he had a scan and there's no problems, they also said there were other positives because Troicki had food poisoning before his third round match and had to withdraw from the doubles because of it lol.

thanks. I bet BBC is on Murray like leeches so it's probably accurate :)

Soderking will trash Nadull but then again Robin could play like a mug sometimes so i'm not that sure he will beat Rafa.:(

Thank God the Monfils-Ferrer match is starting. This Ljubo-Nadal is past the point of being unwatchable.

have to agree with this. This is the worst match i've seen this tournament. I really wish they'd switch to Monfils but they aren't.

This is a joke.

Topspindoc claiming Nadal is forcing Ljubo into errors :lol:

I just hope will see Murray/Troicki on court today..they say it could be tomorrow..

got to be one of the worst matches in the tournament so far. Even the crowd is falling asleep

Best Rafa looked in the whole tournament so far in the 3rd. Love it!

got to be one of the worst matches in the tournament so far. Even the crowd is falling asleep

Silly MaxPower, you're implying the match ever had them awake in the first place =p

Can't wait for this to be over, want to resume watching Monfils vs Ferrer since that was great last night.

Nadal Fist-pumping and Vamosing on Opponents Errors

Sheesh What a Classless guy!

Nadal cruising. :sport:

BBC said a minute ago he had a scan and there's no problems, they also said there were other positives because Troicki had food poisoning before his third round match and had to withdraw from the doubles because of it lol.
:spit: The top half can't become any more of a joke. Absalute mug half.

Also, Monfils needs to add some much needed weapon in his game. Best mover in tennis, but very poor offense for a ranked player.

Fred Stolle calling this a good match. The mans gone senile.

Topspindoc claiming Nadal is forcing Ljubo into errors :lol:

:lol:

Nadal Fist-pumping and Vamosing on Opponents Errors

Sheesh What a Classless guy!

The goal of tennis is to win points, not to hit winners. If it's an important point, I don't see anything wrong with it.

And are you sure you want to mention class, given that you're a Djokovic fan?

Also, Monfils needs to add some much needed weapon in his game. Best mover in tennis, but very poor offense for a ranked player.

Bet you haven't watched him much this year. He has ripped some monster shots. I'd say his offensive game has never looked better in his career

Feisty Ferrer yanking Monfils all around the court, up 4-0

Murray has retired according to reports.

Time to celebrate.. :angel:

Ferrer vs Monfils is 50 times better tennis than Ljubo - Nadal :) Good stuff from David.

What the hell was that :lol:

His offensive game is pretty good; he just needs the consistency.

Cosmic joke that the final can't be Djoker vs Fed.

Ferrer now 5-0* on Monfils in the fourth. Good stuff.

And are you sure you want to mention class, given that you're a Djokovic fan?

Djokovic is the first one to applaud the Opponents winners, he always gives a raise of Toast applause to good shots...he appreciates the game much more than Rafa

I think Djokovic has gotten more sportsmanlike over the years. I agree he often applause good shots and alike nowadays.

Circumcic should retire for his fans.

throw away set for monfils, he'll come back and storm david in the 5th

Nadal getting a cheer from the crowd - after that?

Nadal getting a cheer from the crowd - after that?

They're happy it's over, I can't think of any other reason.

Sheesh now switch onto some REAL tennis

bring on Ferrer- monfils

Nadal getting a cheer from the crowd - after that?

Cheering that its over obviously.

Nadal getting a cheer from the crowd - after that?


Torture is Over, they are happy!

Soderling vs Simon coming up on main court. Good because Ferrer vs Monfils will be over soon :(

Why is my scoreboard saying Ferrer vs. Monfils 6-1 in the fourth? I thought it finished 0-2 in the fourth, well, according to GM :confused:

Clownfils doing what he does best.

Oh hold on, I get it now. It was written badly.

allez after every point. Nice Monfils :)

This match isn't much better. Monfils is ultra clown mode

Nah, I think it's great tennis in Monfils vs Ferrer :D This is what it should look like, Nadal. Take a good look.

1-1 in the fifth. Epic coming up.

Nice dropper from Pics, he was using it poorly last night but that was perfection.

David has a clear advantage, though. Gael's serve is saving him time and time again.

Monfils showing some great aggressive tennis. what forehands

Pics sounds like hes releasing a massive load after every shot.

Net gives Monfils a BP (probably would have won the point anyway)

Blasts a winner up the line for the break

ferrer broken after being 40-0 up

What a forehand to break!

Sod gets 2 BPs right away in the first game of the match vs Simon

Robin winning 36 shot rally, gets 2 BPs in the first game and breaks.

Match is on Monfils raquet he has to take it!

Robin :rocker2:

Gael :worship: Amazing!

The look in Gael's eye I love the focus

Ferrer is just pathetic. Broken from 40-0 and that'll be the match for sure. 4-1. No chance. Just awful. Can't believe what a choker he's become.

Soderling looks like an unstoppable beast atm. If he plays this well crowd will never get into it

good to see le monf in serious mode.

Rafa :bigwave:

I expect a 6-1 set

good to see le monf in serious mode.

Federer better be on notice

WOW, Sod! :eek:

Soderling is looking scary. He is crushing simon. 3 BPs for 3*-0

heh Soderling will humilate Simon if it continues like this. Such quality. Simon has only won 1 point. On his own serve

Hahaha Nadal is going down

Sod's FH working nice angles.

soderling is in beast mode

Rafa is going to get his ass handed to him in the quarters. That will be the beginning of the end of his career.

I imagine Ferrer's career is nearing an end. He's almost 30, and still when it matters he's proven and still proves he lacks what it takes to be a top tier player.

jesus gilles:o

David :sad:

I imagine Ferrer's career is nearing an end. He's almost 30, and still when it matters he's proven and still proves he lacks what it takes to be a top tier player.Ferrer is playing well. I mean, he would've beat Rafa today for example. :shrug: And it's not over yet vs Monfils.

Soderking in exhibition mode on centre court

Rafa is going to get his ass handed to him in the quarters. That will be the beginning of the end of his career.

no he's not, soderling will do exactly what he does all the time

he'll keep it close for a while and then break down when it actually counts

cmon monfils ,a win should move him closer to berdych in the rankings

I know Robin can play this good, but I thought
Simon would be in better shape! He seem To
Strugle on every ball Sod gets back

Monfils going back into defensive mode fuck why?

Why is Ferrer playing like this? Choking idiot.

Simon makes a second point, due to a lucky netcord.

no he's not, soderling will do exactly what he does all the time

he'll keep it close for a while and then break down when it actually counts

you mean like when he beat Nadal in R4 in 09 and Federer in QF in 2010?

4-0 :o

Monfils, you're my hero, lovely stuff.

Monfils Vs Fed it looks like

Monfils still not quite consistant enough, but there's no denying he's hit some absolutely magical shots in this match.

Soderking should prepare some vaseline me thinks

no he's not, soderling will do exactly what he does all the time

he'll keep it close for a while and then break down when it actually countsHe doesn't always do that. The last two times here in RG he took down the defending champion. I can easily see that happening again.

Monfils is doing nothing and Ferrer self-destructing. So mentally weak and gets worse every match. He was the better player. His career is done. he choked at ao semi and choked at rg where he had a legit chance to win.

Sod's FH working nice angles.
It does, but I think his BH is solid as a rock!

Great point by Simon. Crowd got something to cheer for finally :)

you mean like when he beat Nadal in R4 in 09 and Federer in QF in 2010?

he's yet to prove that he can beat federer again, losing to him in straights every time since then

and he's also yet to prove that he can beat a healthy nadal

I imagine Ferrer's career is nearing an end. He's almost 30, and still when it matters he's proven and still proves he lacks what it takes to be a top tier player.

Ah I remenber when you said Ferrer was going to reach the semi easily in the draw thread. I told you then his draw was bad.

Hm. I don't want Sod to put his foot off the gas here. :(

Maxpower, do you have a stream?

Simon is finding his way for a bit, at least he's on the SB.

He'll play an ok service game then an awful return game, i imagine. or not. yet another double from the mental midget.

It does, but I think his BH is solid as a rock!
Mmm, some good depth :D

Maxpower, do you have a stream?

and he beat an injured nadal..again he's yet to prove he can beat a healthy one

you mean like when he beat Nadal in RR in WTF in 2009? or is he always injured when he loses?

Does anyone have a stream for the Simon match please?

Maxpower, do you have a stream?
http://88.80.16.183/index.php?option=com_lsh&view=lsh&event_id=50767&tv_id=406&tid=23973&channel=0&tmpl=component&layout=popup&Itemid=207

he's yet to prove that he can beat federer again, losing to him in straights every time since then

and he beat an injured nadal..again he's yet to prove he can beat a healthy oneBullshit, he beat Nadal again in the 09 WTF. And Nadal is playing shit right now if you haven't noticed.

Ah I remenber when you said Ferrer was going to reach the semi easily in the draw thread. I told you then his draw was bad.

I dont think I said easily but yeah he shoulda. He could have beat Federer, and if he hadn't choked so many chances here he'd have got there.

Thankyou!!!! :)

One hold Gael LETS GO!

anyone know how many ues ferrer has made in this set?

He doesn't always do that. The last two times here in RG he took down the defending champion. I can easily see that happening again.

whats happened every time since his wins over them when he plays them? everyone always says he can beat them and then he does exactly what i said he does, he keeps it close for a while then breaks down at the worst possible times

Lovely 20 feet out return followed by ace. Ferrer choked his chances, Monfils won't let go at RG

The guy in red in Monfil's corner won't sit down LOL

he's yet to prove that he can beat federer again, losing to him in straights every time since then

and he's also yet to prove that he can beat a healthy nadal

Soderling does his best at RG. He's never been that good at other tournaments, and he only has one masters title.

And this is clearly not a fully in form Rafa.

Ferrer going down swinging

Horrible shank by Ferrer sets up 2 match points.

heh Monfils with clutch serving and Ferrer with a shank. Not something you see everyday. Federer better watch out

... followed by an equally horrible error from Monfils!

we'll just see what happens but i think nadal beats soderling if they do play each other, if im wrong im wrong

and make no mistake id like him to beat nadal..i just dont think he will

Not yet folks Monfils has found the error train

Monfils getting tight. Deuce.

Meanwhile Sod to serve for the set 5*-2.

well..atleast gilles got it past the 20 minute mark

Monfils trying to choke back! VAMOS! VAMOS!

Immense defence from Ferrer

Ferru really rallying, he's fighting so hard to stay in.

Monfils playing tight tennis.

Monfils being increasingly defensive and tight.

break point ferrer

and 0-30 for simon

Sod dropped in level a bit. Good to have an insurance break in this situation

Nice choking here.

Terrible dropshot from Monf.

Ferru :worship:

Pics Breaks Back! :banana:
Haha, Monfils being Clownfils again...

Clownfils shows up and panics with a drop shot! WHY?

Poor shor selection... Well I don't see him recovering from that.

lol Ferrer saves 2 match points and breaks.

CLOWNFILS makes a resurgence.

Oh my god, Monfils got so tight that game and Ferrer gave no ground.

Saves 2 match points against serve and breaks back o-o

Vamos! Vamos! Vamos! Vamos! Oh my god. Thank you Mr. Monfils. You handed the choke back :) Good fight David. Now hold.

Ow Monfils :o

Tell me this didn't just happen.

David :worship: Gael got very tight there, two shots on the MPs he should not have hit, then Pics with the great FH, but that drop shot on BP was awful

I'm afraid the Real Sod just landed back on earth.

Don't dropshot Ferrer from 2m behind the baseline, and follow it in AFTER you saw that it was no good. He was in a terrible position in the court there.

What is Robin doing? He needs to get his head in the game again.

French chokers...always trust in them to deliver a beautiful choke when it matters:banana:

Ferrer?

god I love you Ferrer

Monfils has to get the ball to his forehand

Monfils so beautifully chokey. I love the offensive bh dtl from 40 ft out of the court

Monfils is done.

Ferrer's just not missing anymore

god I love you Ferrer
Indeed :hearts:

Second set point for Robin. Take it now.

8 straight points from 2 mps down

serious choking by le monf at double MP. cmon david aka spartan hero :worship:

Jesus Ferrer is just an animal right now, not missing a ball and painting lines left & right.

Ow Monfils :o

Tell me this didn't just happen.Expected.

robin saves 2 break points before serving it out

god I love you Ferrer

Indeed :hearts:

+1. :D

Gael looks beaten

Ferrer missing now, no way he was going to keep that level up from a few minutes ago

Ferrer spreading errors all over in this game.

heh guess Ferrer vs Monfils could get longer than expected. Feels like you can't trust any of them serving so it won't be Isner vs Mahut at least

David donates that game, 6-5 Monfils

Monfils stops the slide and holds to love, an easy hold was huge right there.

Looks like an easy hold, didn't see that coming

That was a momentum-murdering game

lol Ferrer played brilliant MP down and when pressure's off 2 3 errors . lol

Nice return ace by Robin. I love that, the ball had sidespin on it.

Ferru will still manage to lose unfortunately

Go Gael! :cool:

Maybe he summoned evil spirits that are possessing Monfils by eating that shirt. 30-0

Simon with clutch serving from being 0-30 down. This set could get more interesting

lol Ferrer played brilliant MP down and when pressure's off 2 3 errors . lol

no, he missed 2 easyish backhands mp up. the brilliant point was deuce once ferrer felt he had a shot. 40-15, ace please

Ferrer :worship:

oh god, not another 40-0 break

OMG Ferrer is not capable of winning a game from 40-0 on his serve
AGAIN :mad:

gsm monfils, inevitable ferrer choke and this time monfils wont have a chance to choke back

ferrer on his way to being broken from 40-0 up.....again:o

:scared::scared:

Ferrer :o

C'mon Gael!
2 more!

Omg.

This is unreal...no words

Another MP!

I'm not that upset. He doesn't deserve it. You can't choke like that and be in a Slam quarterfinal. What a volley

Missed sitter by Ferrer. 3rd match point Monfils.

embarrassing stuff from ferrer if he gets broken from 40-0 twice

Went to grab a snack thinking Ferrer was going to hold oooops, what happened?

omg. One of the best loobs i've seen in the tournament by Simon. what was that.

good save. easy shot, but still, the pressure
GOOD OVERHEAD! VAMOS! What a choking contest!

This is so much better than the shitfest we saw on Chatrier.

:worship:

Really needs to make some inroads on Monf now. 6-6...

Great play under pressure from Ferrer again.

clutch serving from ferrer

Ferrer, wow! what a gutsy player he is. I so much want him to win...

It's unreal how Ferrer seems to need to be down match point to start getting clutch again lol xD

:lol:

This is some spartan shit from Ferrer not those mugfests from Rafito.

Ferrer just likes being behind

Okay, now I'll be incredibly upset if he loses. Huge vamos. Great fight, though not sure what monfils was trying with that awful lob at deuce

Another MP saved, Vamos Pics.

This is so much better than the shitfest we saw on Chatrier.

+infinity

this is high quality stuff!

Cmon FERRER!!!

Clutch dropper on the second serve.

hate it when stupid shit works

Ferrer is just so stupid! Making stupid decisions. This match should have been over with.

Vamos Pics :rocker2:

djokovicgonzales, Ferrer hasn't been MP up yet.

Shame they can't both go through.

Gael goes dropper, hahaha what a shot even though it was silly

If there's any player who truly DESERVES the Stefan Edberg trophy, it's Ferrer. :worship:

Come on Simon. I want a Frenchie in the Finals. :D

get on with it ferru ffs wanna see serbian warlord today

30-30 after a year or so at 30-15 1st serve

Big big point here

Sod - Sim's 2nd set will be a very tough affair.

Bad luck for Monfils there.

That line judge having an awful go of it right now

BP to fail to serve for the match! Vamos!

Horrible error from Monf brings up break point.
