get an early break Carlos

I'm watching this on TV, and it is a great match, very thrilling :) Schuettler is still looking a bit rattled, though he's trying to get his first set game back. Moya could break him here.

Carlos broke 7-6 2-0 :)

now focus and no more Careless Moya from now on ok

Carlos holds to 30

7-6 3-0 :bounce:

now break again please
Vamos Carlos !!!!!!!!!

Like TennisHack said. I couldnt say better :)
Carlos got a broke and held his serve to go up 3-0
Schuettler is gone if Moya can keep his level of play at that.

Carlos broke again 7-6 4-0 :bounce:

go Carlos !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, hitman! :)

Schuettler is gone. His first serve percentage has tanked, and now Carlos is up 4-0.

I hope Juan Carlos has the same fortune Carlos is having. He's up next :)

just focus Carlos and wrap this up

Carlos with another ridiculous game.
FOUR unforced errors...
Schuettler broke his serve in a game where he smashed his racquet to the floor...

FOCUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos got Careless again :mad:

come on Carlos focus
7-6 4-1*

Vamos Carlos :bounce: :bounce:

Even when Rainer broke Carlos's serve, he is broken at love. I don't think he's hit a first serve this whole set :rolleyes:

well done Carlos :)

he broke again 5-1 :)
now serve it out :D

7-6, 6-1 for Moya :)

the first serve % is around 20% :p

ACE! 40-0 Moya serving for match
Bad return
GAme set match Moya! :)

Carlos won :bounce:

and now he is top 16 seed for US Open
and pushes Pete Sampras down to #17 :D

All right, Juan Carlos, let's make this an all-Spanish semifinal!!

Ferrero v. Arthurs up next on Center Court.

Great job Moya!
Anyway, Ill get going now! Thanks for the company you all. :)
:wavey:

now Juanqui better win :)

They are interviewing Carlos on ESPN. I'll put it up in the Spanish forum after Juan Carlos's match :)

They just walked out on court. Juan Carlos is wearing black :eek: Is this a good or bad sign?

Best of luck Juanqui :D

First Set
Arthurs to serve
He's not serving first serves very well
Juan Carlos earns his first break point :)
Woot, another break point. He's coming out of the gates nicely :)
*Juan Carlos has two finers taped today.
Another break point . . . c'mon, convert already, LOL!

1-0 Arthurs

Good to know that he's already put so much pressure on his serve, though. That should prove useful in the future games.

Juan Carlos is serving well, and keeping Arthurs at the baseline.

1-1 Arthurs

Sounds like Patrick begrudgingly is complimenting Juan Carlos on his return game. He hasn't picked a winner, though :rolleyes:

2-1 Arthurs

It's a very good sign... I think. ;)

Come on Juanqui! Make it an all-Spanish semifinal!

Sorry for the belated response but my server was down. :(

First ace for Juanqui :)

Holds at love for 2-all

yup, he's wearing all black!:D also his compatriot won earlier so that's another good omen.

VAMOS juanqui!:bounce:

Arthurs serving at 2-2, 30-0!

:rolleyes: Arthurs has figured his serve out. Damn.

He holds at love for 3-2

That's okay, Layla. :D Juan Carlos's serve hasn't been touched, but Arthurs suddenly remembered how to hit his.

Ferrero is coming in to net :eek: Successfully!

PattyMac is now drooling all over Juan Carlos :rolleyes: I guess defeating Dent does that to him.

3-all

C'mon Juan Carlos! :) Take out the qualifier!

Juan Carlos's passing shots are on. It's lovely :)

10/4 winners/unforced errors for our boy.

4-3 Arthurs

go Juanqui :)

I don't have this on tv till 4 pm :fiery:

What is patty mac going on about Ferrero for?

Yesterday he said that there was no point in talking about Ferrero's passing shots, because we weren't talking about clay :rolleyes:

It might not last that long, Becca. I'm sorry! :(

I really do hope this is an all spanish semi :D We need a name in the final for christs sake :fiery:

Tennishack - it will be taped coverage.

So I will see either this match or, Moya's.

2000 bucks says they will show Moya's match :fiery:

whats wrong with Moya :p

i wish i could see this but i'm too lazy to get a dish, stuck with cable

Oh, now he's saying Ferrero doesn't miss, that he's lethal from the back of the court, blah, blah, blah . . . "He looks like a swordfighter with that stubble"?! from Cliff LMAO at these two

Ferrero is serving from the sunny side, but managed another ace as I wrote that :)

First double fault for Juanqui

Third ace for an ad :), 4th for the game!

4-4 Arthurs, saves a break point

Nothing wrong with Moya at all, TBE - if Ferrero doesn't win today I want Moya to go all the way.

I just would rather see Juan Carlos :D

Who is struggling on serve :fiery:

Phew! That was close! :)

I'm not sure I like those two singing praises about Ferrero. Someone tell them to stop please. :(

"He looks like a swordfighter with that stubble"?!

OH man, I"m missing such classic material :sad:

Juan Carlos needs to step in on the second serve so he can return it or pass it without dumping it in the net.

Layla I wish they'd stop too.

But they are the biggest bandwagon hoppers on earth, so it isn't likely.

If Ferrero starts losing they will pick apart his game.

Another break point for Juan Carlos.

Arthurs hasn't hit many first serves in

YES!! Juan Carlos breaks for 5-4!!

Tennishack, is he still standing 8 feet behind the baseline?

He was standing so far back in Toronto to return serve that it looked a little silly ;)

Yipeee! :D

You are faster than the scoreboard ;)

Becca, the Moya match was really thrilling . . . well, the first set anyways :D

They might show them both if they're both straight sets?

Yes they are Becca. That's why I keep hitting the refresh button. :)

Yes, he is standing waaaay back to return serve.

Layla, I'm watching it on TV :)

Juanqui broke 5-4 :)

I only have 2 hours of coverage here Tennishack :fiery:

They can't show all of both.

They will show all of Moya I bet, then the end of this :(

First Set: 6-4 Juan Carlos

Arthurs hasn't been able to touch it, not even on second serves. He only got that break point when he managed to go to deuce for the first time.

Juan Carlos has some supporters today as well :)

woohoo :D

So Tennishack, how is he um, looking today :p Do I want to tape it or not :p

That sucks, Becca. That's just enough time to show the full Moya match.

I'm sorry.

I saw that stubble in the highlights of yesterday's match. I think it's cute. ;)

Vamos Juanqui :)

Rebecca, Juan Carlos is looking nice. He hasn't broken a sweat yet :) He's wearing his solid black outfit and has his middle and ring fingers taped. He's been cool as a cucumber so far on court.

I forgot to add:

Juanqui won the first set!!! :bounce:

Way to go, love! :D

:hearts:

Second Set
Arthurs to serve

Again, no first serves in so far for the Aussie. (Then he hits an ace :rolleyes: )

Juan Carlos has hit some very nice lobs for winners, and of course his passing shots are as amazing as ever.

1-0 Arthurs holds, but only after Juanqui takes him to deuce

Why won't they show Ferrero :fiery:

Why :sad:

Ferrero to serve

He's had no trouble on serve so far, and is keeping Arthurs at the baseline very, very well. Mr. "All-Serve-Not-Shots" is looking very out of sorts :)

They're saying Juanqui might win the US Open!! :eek:

1-1 Arthurs

Pat & Cliff are saying Juan Carlos might have a chance to sneak through the draw the US Open with the way he's playing here. LMAO at them

They're saying Juanqui might win the US Open!!

Okay, wtf? Those two are bigger bandwagon hoppers than Scott :rolleyes:

Ferrero is doing much better on the return, he's stepped in a little bit and ripped the last one.

2-1 Arthurs

Well, they're saying if Johansson could win the Aussie Open, and Albert Costa could win the French, that hell, even a "clay courter" like Juan Carlos could win the US Open.

clay courter :fiery:

:rolleyes: @ those two

Well, they're saying if Johansson could win the Aussie Open, and Albert Costa could win the French, that hell, even a "clay courter" like Juan Carlos could win the US Open.

ugh they make me bitter. Costa had already won like 14 clay titles or something (12 maybe?), and beaten pretty much everyone there is to beat on clay before.

*that and Ferrero may have choked*

Um I won't touch on Thomas..

But good lord they are so stupid :rolleyes:

wait a minute, are they saying Ferrero would be a fluke slam winner? :rolleyes: as if...

Ooh, I just noticed they are both sponsered by Sergio Tacchini.

2-all

I turned to sound off on my TV yesterday, because I got sick of hearing how Dent is the next best thing and "who is this Ferrero schmuck?" :rolleyes:

Anyway, Arthurs is wearing white and Juanqui's wearing black. Another element to the match? :D

come on Juanqui you got to break him before the TB

Well, I'm saying neither Thomas or Albert Costa are without merit for winning their slams. Thomas has had success on hard courts and grass, and Costa is of course a great clay player. Juan Carlos has had success on hard courts as well as clay, so it's not like he'd be coming out of nowhere to win a hard court major or even the slam. I don't think he'll win the Open with players like Hewitt and Agassi going strong, but still . . . they don't know what they're talking about.

Arthurs is getting ticked and Juanqui is getting a break point.

3-2 Arthurs

Why is arthurs getting ticked?

Originally posted by TheBoiledEgg

yes, we don't want any more of those!

Man if Ferrero could only put in good performances week in week out, his ranking would be much better- there would be no fear of Andy (who he is better than) passing him :(

Ferrero is making this look easy. I bet if Sampras is watching this he's crying :D

Oh, he smiled and thanked the person in the crowd for giving the ball back :)

3-all Ferrero holds from the sunny side

Arthurs is getting ticked because he's missing the volleys on Ferrero's return.

Arthurs is serving into the body or down the middle, the only way he can force a Juanqui mishit.

4-3 Arthurs

i wish i was the person he smiled at. :)

Hopefully Gonzalez will put Andy out this week, which will give Juan Carlos a little cushion of points. He's not playing between now and the Open, which is the only way I see Andy can pass him.

Oh, he smiled and thanked the person in the crowd for giving the ball back

He did that in Toronto to :)

Juan Carlos has only made 5 errors in the whole match!

4-all

Ooooh, Pat is saying Ferrero will break here.

well for what it's worth, i hope pat is right! :)

And of course he doesn't.

5-4 Arthurs

Why did Pat have to go and say something like that :rolleyes:

Pat, stop jinxing Juanqui or I'll come over and tape your mouth. :mad:

All right, now Ferrero's getting pumped! He just hit a lovely drop shot and the crowd was very appreciative.

Ace #6

5-all

He needs to break now or i'm gonna start to tremble again.

Please break, Juanqui! :)

Arthurs gets a bad call, but that doesn't seem to slow him down.

6-5 Arthurs

Layla, don't get worried yet. Juan Carlos has had no trouble on serve. Arthurs can't keep up with him from the baseline, and Ferrero just passes him if he comes in.

Looks like there's going to be a tiebreak, but if Ferrero can pull it out agaisnt Dent he can do it against Arthurs.

29 winners, 5 unforced errors for Ferrero

I can't beleive he is playing this well, and I never get to see it :sad:

Headed to the tiebreak

6-all second set

Ferrero has more net point winners than Arthurs! That's amazing!

2-1 Ferrero

3-1 Ferrero

Wow! That is amazing! :eek: :D

3-2 Ferrero

:hearts:

4-2 Ferrero

5-2 Ferrero

6-2 Ferrero

YESSSS!! Ferrero d. Arthurs 6-4 7-6 with another gorgeous passing shot!!!

woohoo Ferrero vs Moya :D

I won't hate Ferrero's opponent if he loses now :D

And now PattyMac is praising Ferrero's serve :rolleyes:

Juanqui won :bounce: :D

well done
now lose to Carlos ok

They are going to interview him on ESPN. I'll put it in his forum; they also interviewed Carlos Moya so I'll be doing two today!

Pat Mac is a twit, I wish he'd roll over and stay there :p

I'd say roll over and die, but that is too mean :sad:

This is Ferrero's first outdoor hardcourt masters series semis :)

He made the semis in Paris a couple years ago, so it isn't his first one off clay.

YEEESSSSS!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

That's fantastic! Juanqui is in the semis and from what you were saying i take it that he was amazing! :D

I LOVE JUANQUI! :hearts: :kiss:

Ferrero is 5-1 against Moya I think - but have they played on hard court before? I'm going to go check :p

You're amazing too TennisHack! Thank you for undertaking the troublesome work of transcribing thier interviews. :)

they met in Scottsdale in 2000 i think

Thanks, Layla, it's not a problem for me :) Carlos doesn't has as thick of an accent as Juan Carlos, and I was listening carefully and only missed 1 word of Juan Carlos just now, so hopefully it won't take me forever like last time.

i guessed right

that was Carlos' 1st match back after his back injury when he played Ferrero in Scottsdale

Juanqui does have a thick accent. :) But Corretja's English is quite brilliant.

Corretja has also beeing answering questions in English a lot longer than Ferrero ;)

Ferrero's English will be wonderful in 5 years I'm sure.

Even now, its much better than my Spanish is :p

finally PMac was throwing Ferrero some compliments today and was giving him the credit he deserves. i think Pat has finally gotten over the fact that Juanqui took out two of his young Americans this week!:D

VAMOS Juan Carlos!!!! prove McEnroe wrong and win this thang in style!:D

Pat mac is just waiting to hop off the wagon :fiery:

whats he gonna do when he sees 2 spaniards in the semis :eek:

Thank you Juan Carlos!!! :)

Now win again!

more TV time :)

LOL, I was talking about Carlos Moya, not Alex Corretja!!

Anyway, Carlos's interview is up. Now on to Juan Carlos. :)

Alex is very fluent in English now. He speaks with intelligence and maturity.:)

I was lmao@pattymac complimenting Juan Carlos! He is totally contradicting himself from what he said yesterday.:rolleyes:

Okay, Juan Carlos's interview is also up, in his forum.

A little better on time, 45 minutes for each :)

Hi all of you, Nimi is in da house! Carlos :) Wayne :(

Patrick is so cute though.....I mean, first he thought Blake would beat Juan Carlos and then he thought Dent would for sure beat him with his huge serve and then he thought Arthurs would beat him cuz "he's a tricky player to have to deal with."

He should really start thinking before he speaks.

yeah, right

I think that Patty Mac has something against Spaniards :fiery:

*ignores the fact that he spent quality time working his way up Moya's butt today*

1-0 Andre :)

1-0 Andre :) :)

GO ANDRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-0 Andre

OMG, the stadium is packed to watch these guys! I think there may be 2 free seats.

Lleyton breaks for 4-3 :(

Damned potato evil!
:( :mad: :fiery: :(

Lleyton wins it 7-5 6-3 :(

He almost always troubled Andre's serve, where as Andre never really had much success on Lleyton's. He had to win that 1st set after leading 3-0.

Hopefully Lleyton will win easily tomorrow though!!! :)

well done Juanqui :D
Lleyton :)

where was this Hewitt in the match against Jarkko? was he setiing up a fake-out? i wonder if Andre fell for it...

Come on Gonzalez, take out Roddick!
