Blake and Kim are the only American men to reach RG 2nd round.vogus 05-30-2006, 04:56 PM good job guys, for what it's worth. Kevin's chances to beat Nadal are not good, to put it mildly, so James is really the only hope to have an American player in the mid-rounds of the tournie. connectolove 05-30-2006, 04:58 PM Americans are not clay oriented at all... this is sad. Pigpen Stinks 05-30-2006, 05:19 PM Kim's only chance is if Nadal injures himself working on his blog. I'm afraid Blake's chances aren't much better. robinhood 05-30-2006, 06:03 PM I say it will be a great success for American men if at least one of them reaches 3rd round. Obviously if Kevin can battle with Nadal and takes a set off him or something, that would be great, too. croat123 05-30-2006, 06:37 PM no chance for either. kim might as well not show up and blake will be lucky to get in a tight set against almagro BlakeJamitis 05-30-2006, 06:38 PM blake will be lucky to get in a tight set against almagro WOW Action Jackson 05-30-2006, 06:40 PM Almagro is a special and the only way Kim beats Nadal is if Rafa has to retire from the match. vogus 05-30-2006, 06:57 PM Almagro is a special i didn't understand this part. :confused: Action Jackson 05-30-2006, 06:58 PM i didn't understand this part. :confused: Almagro won't lose. NyGeL 05-30-2006, 08:19 PM more than expected! oneandonlyhsn 05-30-2006, 08:22 PM After tomorrow there will be 2 Americans left. Its time for upsets :p BlakeJamitis 05-30-2006, 08:23 PM Yea, I fully expect Blake to finally do well at RG! Could possibly make quarters. silverwhite 05-30-2006, 08:36 PM After tomorrow there will be 2 Americans left. Its time for upsets :p Venus and Sharapova? TheBoiledEgg 05-30-2006, 08:37 PM Blake has no hope vs Almagro, not even a little chance. BlakeJamitis 05-30-2006, 08:44 PM Life without hope will sometimes make you do desperate things Freeze17171 05-30-2006, 08:47 PM Both will be ousted by Spaniards in the 2nd round, just like Roddick and Ginepri. oneandonlyhsn 05-30-2006, 08:47 PM Venus and Sharapova? If we include women thats 4 :p vogus 05-30-2006, 08:48 PM Venus and Sharapova? :haha: :haha: :haha: vogus 05-30-2006, 08:50 PM Almagro won't lose. i'm not so sure about that, his forehand is not as huge as Blake's... BlakeJamitis 05-30-2006, 08:55 PM I've already told Blake to make the rallies forehand to forehand. The way the people on this thread are talking, this guy is unbeatable on Clay. I didn't know his name was Nadal. TheBoiledEgg 05-30-2006, 08:55 PM i'm not so sure about that, his forehand is not as huge as Blake's... the way Almagro hits the ball, it doesnt need to be his BH is :eek: think Ferrero about 3-4 yrs ago and better. vogus 05-30-2006, 09:01 PM the way Almagro hits the ball, it doesnt need to be his BH is :eek: think Ferrero about 3-4 yrs ago and better. he didn't do anything special in the clay TMS this year, did he? nhissan 05-30-2006, 09:04 PM nope Jairus 05-30-2006, 09:32 PM Venus and Sharapova? :confused: I guess I wouldn't complain about that, I mean, there are enough Russian women around, but I don't think she would agree to defect... Lee 05-30-2006, 10:26 PM he didn't do anything special in the clay TMS this year, did he? Only because his ranking is not high enough for him to gain direct entry to all 3 AMS. He wasn't able to qualify for Monte Carlo because he won the title in Valencia the week before. And for Hamburg, he was playing in Rome and lost in QF to Federer. | |
