Expect The Unexpected Roland Garros 09 : N.Djokovic vsPhilipp Kohlschreiber (GER)

You can still do it Tommy!

Just staring at my forgotten study notes now. Oops. :o

Haha, I was supposed to do a T test but well...

You can still do it Tommy!
Go Tommy. :mad:

YES! A break!! :bounce:

Oh dear break down, please be like Masha, Tommy and FIGHT!

:woohoo:

Tommy - you've had your fun.:D

Spirits have lifted. But not looking too far ahead yet...

Tommy Haas you are no Maria Sharapova!

Oh well!

Haas imploded just like Berdych.

Darn it. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

serving for the match now. four aces will do fed :D

Some fight still left in Haas I see. Shut it down :armed:

I really hope Delpo beats SB even more now. There is no way this Federer will beat a fired up SB and the French crowd.

Tommy Haas you are no Maria Sharapova!

Oh well!

Seriously. Masha could give a clinic in fighting till the end. :lol:

And the universe makes sense again! :worship:

If Delpo loses I will just completely focus on the WTA!

Oh well. :sad: :sobbing:

Come on JWT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roger :inlove: :bounce:

Love the French pronounciation of 'Aas' :haha:

GO JWT!!!!!!! :worship: :worship: :worship:

:woohoo: x 230358304 for Roger!

Maria, Juan won't lose :devil: :bounce:

Seriously. Masha could give a clinic in fighting till the end. :lol:

And the universe makes sense again! :worship:

She sure could! :D

:woohoo: x 230358304 for Roger!

Maria, Juan won't lose :devil: :bounce:

Gosh, I hope so.

Vamos Delpo! :bounce:

MTF :tape::tape::tape:

Let's go Tsonga!!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Let's go Delpo, vamos!

*Sinks wearily on to sofa*
I'm too old for all this. So glad I didn't go to work today - I couldn't have stayed po-faced at my desk through that.

Now I have to sit though an SB match, which I normally avoid like the plague, complete with shrill French crowd.

:hug: Time to open the Killer Giraffe cage - he bites!

Allez Tsonga!! Beat that Argentinian.

Vamos Delpo! You can do it!

Raine, raine go away - come again another day :D

I'm still weak. It's not fair to torment me :sobbing:

Vamos Delpo!!! Kill kill kill :armed:

Grr I like you Santoro but I need to see some Delpo butterfly-thrashing before I go to bed

:wavey: Seems I missed all the excitement - didn't even have a live scoreboard today :awww: And got home as ES switched to the delights of Kohli v Boredo :rolleyes:

And I know I'm going to get hated now :sad: but I've finally decided - I do not want Federer to win this. The age of "Fedal" :rolleyes: with one or other of them winning every damn thing for the past years, has driven me crazy - I want new blood - and a NEW winner.

And in the meantime - sorry - but I'm joining Raine - "Allez les Bleus et JWT" :rocker2:

I hope Nole knows he's causing trouble here in Nole land by losing early :rolls: We're not on the same line anymore of supporting players :devil:

Of course I go for Juan first :bounce: But I would be okay with Jo too.

So, it's Rose and me against everyone here. Bring it! :p

Raine, raine go away - come again another day :D

I'm still weak. It's not fair to torment me :sobbing:

:devil::devil::devil: That won't work.

:haha:

Gale force 10 morning

Traitor X2.:D

I'll personally hand Giraffe the Malvinas on a silver platter if he can win this...

Traitor X2.:D

You'd have to stand on a box to get onto a level with him first :p They don't call him Killer Giraffe for nothing!

Btw - is that match on BBCi? Must be more entertaining than Boredo?

It's not on yet Rosie. Also :wavey:

Raine raine will not go away... Herdwick come again another day.

Okay that doesn't rhyme. :o

It's not on yet Rosie. Also :wavey:

Hi Elle :wavey:

Yep - it's BBCi all the way today. Roddick - Monfils later too :D

Yep - it's BBCi all the way today. Roddick - Monfils later too :D

Ah - The Great Dane :D

Kohli is 2-1 sets down to Robredo.

Nole - I fear you shed your blood in an unworthy cause.:sad:

:nerner: Bring it on Del Potro fans.


:bigwave::dance:

Ah - The Great Dane :D

:haha: Of course - how could we forget. Becoming a bit like a safari park round here.

Giraffe, Squirrel, Satanic Butterfly, Great Dane

Now who else will stand anthropomorphisation?

Kohli has a bit of a look of a cockatiel to me.

He much more reminds me of a bee than a giraffe though.

Herdwick :haha: And it's true, Kohli does look like a cockatiel.

MTF :explode:

Nice start :D

:haha: Of course - how could we forget. Becoming a bit like a safari park round here.

Giraffe, Squirrel, Satanic Butterfly, Great Dane

Now who else will stand anthropomorphisation?

Kohli has a bit of a look of a cockatiel to me.

:tape: Herdwick - you do make me laugh :rolls:

Sorry I disappeared - was preparing the moussaka:)

I aim to please today.

Happy Herdwick now 3-0

:D :angel:

Tsonga stop sleeping. :sad:

:haha: The commentators said the only wrong that Del Potro has is that shirt.

anyone have a good stream?

I aim to please today.

Happy Herdwick now 3-0

:D :angel:

Jo is just lulling him into a false sense of security ;)

Jo is just lulling him into a false sense of security ;)

Delpo gladly accepts haha

anyone have a good stream?

Fox Sports is showing it Elle. :confused:

I think, because that's where we get our feed. It's the French guy and Mark W. right now, or is it Wally Massur.

They are but am in bed atm :)

Noooo Robredo won :awww: Poor Kohli.

Vamos Jirafa! :bounce:

As expected, Kohlschreiber gone. :sad:

So Nole died to benefit Robredo. Wassock.

:explode:

So Nole died to benefit Robredo.Wassock.

:explode:

And we all know that Robredo will roll over for anyone in the Top 10 :spit:

Hey Tomic doing well in the boys singles. Didnt know a player could play in both the mens and boys draws??

:haha: Didn't know Jo came to the press conference wearing a tie after he won his first match at RG this year. He said he didn't know what he would wear if he ever wins the tournament, but only a thong wasn't in the possibilities.

Come on, Jo. Don't be so prude :rolls:

Juan! Juan! Juan! :bounce:

Ah, Elle. Following Bernie also? :dance:

Hey Tomic doing well in the boys singles. Didnt know a player could play in both the mens and boys draws??

Neither did I :shrug:

:haha: Didn't know Jo came to the press conference wearing a tie after he won his first match at RG this year. He said he didn't know what he would wear if he ever wins the tournament, but only a thong wasn't in the possibilities.

Juan! Juan! Juan! :bounce:

Ah, Elle. Following Bernie also? :dance:

:lol: A thong - yes - come on Jo - give Herdwick a thrill :p

yes double break! :bounce:

Haas :smash:

Giraffe!!! :bounce: You go, boy! :D

:haha: Didn't know Jo came to the press conference wearing a tie after he won his first match at RG this year. He said he didn't know what he would wear if he ever wins the tournament, but only a thong wasn't in the possibilities.

Juan! Juan! Juan! :bounce:

Ah, Elle. Following Bernie also? :dance:

Jo is so cute off court :hug:

Well...he is the future of Australian mens tennis :tape: Edit - he won! woohoo.

Fox Sports is showing it Elle. :confused:

I think, because that's where we get our feed. It's the French guy and Mark W. right now, or is it Wally Massur.

Raoux and Wally, it's not Mark, I miss him!

Vamos Delpo, keep it up!

Hey Tomic doing well in the boys singles. Didnt know a player could play in both the mens and boys draws??

Hmm that's strange, good to know though! Australian tennis needs him so much.

BTW, Gael to beat Roger :rocker2:

A baguette! Bwahahaha

*Gives evil laugh and inserts pins further*

But this is too good to last. I must prepare myself for the SB to storm back to win in 5 sets roared on by Napoleonic legions.

Giraffe rocks :D :bounce:

Robredo is such a j*rk. :mad:

Hey Tomic doing well in the boys singles. Didnt know a player could play in both the mens and boys draws??
I thought he'd graduated from juniors. :shrug:

:wavey: Tsonga

Did Rose made you stay up late last night? :o You look like you're sleep walking.



Now come on Jo win the second set. :D :D :D :D


PS: Rose, please cheer Tsonga here for me, the tv is downstairs. ;)

:lol: A thong - yes - come on Jo - give Herdwick a thrill :p

http://img2.menstennisforums.com/753/smileys38.gif

BTW, Gael to beat Roger :rocker2:

Having seen Roger today, if Gael gets past Andy later, no one in their right mind would bet agaist it.

It'd be strangely cool for Monfils to win a slam, and in his home-crowd too. :D Of course I'm rooting for my boy Andy though. I'm hoping Andy would take out Fed too, and then win his next two matches and his second grand slam. Unlikely to happen but whatevs. :D

Well, being honest, I think even Roddick has a chance with Roger. :o

Wow Roger:eek:he must be the luckiest tennis player around if Haas didn't melt away no way Roger would've won that match he was bad by his own standards:shrug:

DelPotro and Tsonga i thought the French would win it easy but i'm not sure anymore:tape:

:wavey: Tsonga

Did Rose made you stay up late last night? :o You look like you're sleep walking.



Now come on Jo win the second set. :D :D :D :D


PS: Rose, please cheer Tsonga here for me, the tv is downstairs. ;)

Raine :hug: I'm really doing my best, but my stupid PC is playing up again - keeps on jamming and throwing me out. :spit: So I can't always post here. Am watching on TV though :D

Anything can happen:p see the title:p

Starting to rain over here and for once i'm not complaining we can use some cool weather:tape:

BTW, I am not liking this AT ALL. :fiery:

First I get dethroned by Amber and Maria as the youngest poster. :mad:

And NOW, Noleta is threatening to dethrone me as Fortuna? :fiery: "Expect the unexpected"... :mad::mad:

:rolls:

Well, yeah anything can happen. Roddick could beat Monfils tonight, and then Federer in the quarters, and then win his semi and final. Why the hell not? Djokovic and Nadal were both upset, Fed came back from the dead to win. This tournament is basically a hot mess of possibilities.

:lol: It comes with getting old dear - we have to start taking a back seat :p

:bigcry: My birthday is indeed next month, but Herdwick still calls me a "teen". :awww: I had no idea age was affecting me that much. :o

You must be my missing twin. :D :D :D

Both scenarios work for me. :) :devil:

Oh okay. That will do. Hopefully will be the last ones laughing. :angel:

:rolls: Jeez - you are on fire today :lol: :worship:

:rolls: such a drama queen:p

:hug:

Del Potro looks like nothing excite him:tape:

Maybe he needs to attend one of my classes for deflowering young boys :p :angel:

I've probably said this like 20 times already but I love Juan's movements. Very giraffish, so graceful.

going to bed. too many late nights catching up with me. vamos delpo!!! :rocker2:

:rolls: Jeez - you are on fire today :lol: :worship:

Really:p

Tsonga and the crowd waking up:rolleyes:

I've probably said this like 20 times already but I love Juan's movements. Very giraffish, so graceful.

For a big guy he does indeed move very well :D

going to bed. too many late nights catching up with me. vamos delpo!!! :rocker2:

Goodnight Elle :kiss:

Elle :kiss:

Giraffe :smash:

Noleta, you thought Tsonga was gonna win this easily? Are you serious? Is this the first time you see Juan? :p

Goodnight, Elle :wavey:

Only cause they're playing in Paris:p

What did you have in mind:devil:

Don't worry - he is not my type! And the comment came from the fact I spent all morning at work attending Sex Education lessons for some of my teenage Afghan refugee boys :o So I have no energy left now anyway :tape:

Elle :kiss:

Giraffe :smash: :mad:

DelPo:smash:

Noleta, you thought Tsonga was gonna win this easily? Are you serious? Is this the first time you see Juan? :p

Goodnight, Elle :wavey:

Must've been some lessons you gave:p

I've probably said this like 20 times already but I love Juan's movements. Very giraffish, so graceful.

:yeah: It's the long legs and the eyelashes - can just imagine him cantering across the veldt.

But I fear he is too gentle and velvet-nosed a creature to win against the baying of a French crowd :sad:

Night Elle :wavey:

Must've been some lessons you gave:p

I was merely an "observer" :p

Not sure if they have veldt in Argentina :confused: Maybe he could run across the Pampas instead :shrug: French crowd are evil though :unsure:

MTF:banghead: can't they fix the damn thing:rolleyes:

:bowdown::woohoo:Keep it up Jo.

Don't sleep again. :haha:

I was merely an "observer" :p

Yeah right;)

Almost a muted applaus when Juan wins a point:p

French crowds are so sporting.:rolleyes: Think I prefer the Spanish.

Giraffe's broken back :bounce:

French crowds are so sporting.:rolleyes: Think I prefer the Spanish.

I don't like them nor do i like the USOpen crowd either:rolleyes:

Tsonga getting nervous serving for the set:eek:

No you don't. :smash: When I left Nole vs Nadal match after he lost the second set tiebreak.

I had 2 stupid spaniards booing me and telling me in Spanish and saying "now he loses and you leave". :rolls: What they did not knew is that statements of these only make me laugh, they weren't also counting o me to understand whay they said because they knew I wasnt talking Spanish, so I just turned around and said in Spanish "too bad I have a flight to catch in one hour".

So no, the French are not as fanatic and intolerant as the spaniards.

Giraffe breaks!!!!!!

Woooooooooooo! :bounce: :kiss: Now hold, my giant bee! :hug:

The thing I most hate about the French crowd is that they never accepted Rafa :tears:

Break back Jo!!!! Come on!!


I love the French crowd. :D :worship:

French crowds are so sporting.:rolleyes: Think I prefer the Spanish.

Giraffe's broken back :bounce:

Spanish are vile too :shrug: And I hate the New Yorkers as well. In fact at the risk of being "nationalistic" I honestly think the Brits are the best by far - closely followed by the Aussies -who are sometimes raucous but ALWAYS sporting.

Woooooooooooo! :bounce: :kiss: Now hold, my giant bee! :hug:

The thing I most hate about the French crowd is that they never accepted Rafa :tears:

Giant bee :rolls:

Woooooooooooo! :bounce: :kiss: Now hold, my giant bee! :hug:

You think your giant bee can cause problems for Roger:scratch:

I know:mad::bigcry:

Giant Giraffe/Bee can't do anything against Rpger :shrug: Might as well hand Roger the match before it starts.

Jo :spit: Not playing well at all today.

How can you be if you don't like Murray:spit::p

I think the Brits show more respect to the players more than any other crowds they know theire tennis:)

I know:mad::bigcry:

You think your giant bee can cause problems for Roger:scratch:

Very big problems :worship: Did you also know that wishful thinking is one of my specialities, zoals Octaaf De Bolle zou zeggen.

Jo :spit: Not playing well at all today.

Roger didn't play well today his FH was awful at times:eek:

I actually like the americans. They are not biased as the Spanish, they are just too temperamental and anything the player does can make them start disliking him. But I quite like the crowd in the USO.

Roger didn't play well today his FH was awful at times:eek:

I didn't see it - I was at work.

I know:mad::bigcry:

We love beautiful game, we were so affectionate with Kuerten, we nicknamed him Guga, it was us.

But rafa's game isn't pleasant and there were too many stories with doping in french papers, just like Armstrong for example.

Don't jump on me, I'm just saying, there is a lot of suspicion on him in France, that's all.

They don't know anything about tennis or that's the vibe i get from them:shrug:

JJ won the first set 6-3:D

Am I the only person who finds JWT's coach rather attractive?:o

He's alright:p

Let me guess it was L'Equipe no:rolleyes:

Ok girls, my time is up. Need to go back to the bones. :wavey:

I'll be watching Giraffe on tv and sending him the best vibes possible!

Win the TB!!!!!!! :bounce:

Come on Jo........... win this tiebreak

Follow Soderling, it's not too late.

Ok girls, my time is up. Need to go back to the bones. :wavey:

I'll be watching Giraffe on tv and sending him the best vibes possible!

And that's why people's career get ruined. Premature conclusions. French papers wrote something about doping and not a single person who doubts that. Rafa is a champion. Don't wanna talk about this now actually :shrug: Just ruins my whole day.

TB! Vamos! :bounce:

Ok girls, my time is up. Need to go back to the bones. :wavey:

The BONES :unsure: Don't you need a deathly laugh to accompany that statement?

Don't work too hard :kiss:

... followed by the Aussies -who are sometimes raucous but ALWAYS sporting.

I would have agreed with you re the Aussie crowd up until January 2008 but I will never forgive them for the AO final.:mad:

French crowd = Spanish crowd then. Shall we bring in the Italians, just to add to the mix?:D

Belgian crowd! :banana: :rolls:

Belgian crowd! :banana: :rolls:

Which half :devil:

Aaaargh - yes - indeed the Italians :spit: It's thanks to them that I ever started watching Nole in the first place - I just couldn't deal with the way they were treating him when he was beating one of their pathetic players in Rome quallies one year :spit: And look where that lead me?

Belgian crowd! :banana: :rolls:

Not sure I've ever experienced a Belgian crowd :shrug:

Good rally there :worship:

Wwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Wwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

:D

Am I the only person who finds JWT's coach rather attractive?

You are not alone. :angel:

:banana::rocker::inlove::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: Tsonga

Thanks for waking up and winning the 2nd set.

You are not alone. :angel:

A lady with good taste :) Welcome here :kiss:

Which half :devil:

Normally I should ask you what you're talking about. We are ONE, you know? :p But I'm Flemish, so I'll say the Northern half :devil:

Okay, I didn't want to close to windows during the TB but now I can start cleaning :tape: We suddenly got a very heavy rain shower and even the walls are wet :sobbing:

Awww :awww: Cleaning is not good - especially during tennis matches. I really want a cup of tea, but I'm way too lazy to get up and switch the kettle on :o Isn't that shameful?

I've just made a cup of tea.:D

Ellen - are you cleaning because you fear the worst? :scared:

Raine & Rose 1 - 1 Herdwick, Noleta, Raquel, Elle, Ellen, Maria, Stephie etc

:devil:

Don't provoke us too much :ras:

Oh yes that final:mad:

This is an average match so far

:bounce: Break! And dear Juan, a break is only a break if you hold your serve afterwards :yeah: Don't you ever forget that.

Don't provoke us too much :ras:

:angel:

:nerner: :woohoo:

Pretty average indeed but this is working to Giraffe's advantage. If it were a lift-the-roof barnstormer then the SB would be sucking lifeblood from the crowd. So low-key is great

Nah.. Jo will break back :angel:

Roger lost the 1st set :haha:


Indeed :o

I'm happy we'll be on the same line in the next match, Raine. Time for me to relax in stead of fighting and :nerner:-ing.

:hug: Raine knows we love her really. We stayed civil during the CL final remember and that was far more fraught than this.

She says magnanimously :angel: at 4-0

What's JJ doing? :lol: 5-0 behind in the 2nd! But it's good, take your time girl. I can't watch these 2 men's matches at the same time anyway.

Jelena :awww:

Jo :bigcry: :hysteric:

:nerner: :woohoo:

Pretty average indeed but this is working to Giraffe's advantage. If it were a lift-the-roof barnstormer then the SB would be sucking lifeblood from the crowd. So low-key is great

SB=Vampire:eek:it's utter silent in the court:bolt:

I'm happy we'll be on the same line in the next match, Raine. Time for me to relax in stead of fighting and :nerner:-ing.

Which match? :confused:

:hug: Raine knows we love her really. We stayed civil during the CL final remember and that was far more fraught than this.

She says magnanimously :angel: at 4-0

:D

Since you love me, you're going to root for JWT now. He needs you. :sad:

JJ lost the second set 6-0:smash:

Since you love me, you're going to root for JWT now. He needs you. :sad:

He can go right on needing :devil: My charity has limits.

He can go right on needing :devil: My charity has limits.

Meanie :nerner: He's obviously not well :tears:

Which match? :confused:


Andy-Gaël? :confused:

She's not moving and she called trainer at 0-3

I hope she's okay, I really like JJ!

Serve it out Delpo!

You know if I ever wished that to a certain player it would not be Roger. :shrug: And I would never wish that even to the SB.

Am I wishing Roger loses this? Damn right I am. :shrug: Remember what I said about Nole's luck? Now their 2 mates taste a little bit of what's been Nole's career. :shrug:

I am still a bit :confused: and can't understand why I am not a tennis fan if I cheer for Kolya. :shrug:

Rule of MTF: when one runs out of reason, throws in accusations. Not a tennis fan is one of those.

Boredo leading Kohli :rolleyes:

Roger is going to get crucified by the media and fans. I can't imagine what GM is going to be like if Roger looses this match :tape: Unending proclamations of doom :help:

I already said after Nole's loss that Kohli would lose to whoever he play next round. I regret forgetting to put money on Robredo. There's a reason for Kohli with his talent to hang around 30 in the ranking.

Hey Tomic doing well in the boys singles. Didnt know a player could play in both the mens and boys draws??

There's no age limit to play in a Slam main draw, only in Boys/Girls. Donald Young did the same in USO a few years ago.

JJ lost the second set 6-0:smash:

She's not moving and she called trainer at 0-3

DelPo on a roll. :drive:

JJ got bageled in the 2nd. :sad:

Come on Roddick! :rocker2:

If DP did not get a brainfart at 15-40 5-4 in 2nd set, it over. :p

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek loud thunders :sobbing::scared:

If DP did not get a brainfart at 15-40 5-4 in 2nd set, it over. :p

If if if... :p If Nole would have breasts, he might've been still in the women's tournament :shrug:

And it's never over with Jo :unsure:

Noleta, it's quiet here :p Edit: Oh wait, it's not.

She's not moving and she called trainer at 0-3

Oh hope she's alright:sad:

:wavey: Lee

:haha: Cue photo from MC a couple of years ago.

Nooo what a mental image you caused me:mad:

......So far wait it's pouring down:bolt:

This has to be the worst match so far in the men's draw:spit:

Meanie :nerner: He's obviously not well :tears:

Since when did Herdwick become an :angel:?

:devil:

He can go right on needing :devil: My charity has limits.

:haha: :haha: :p

Andy-Gaël? :confused:

Oh right, I'm rooting for Monfils in that one. You?

I actually like the americans. They are not biased as the Spanish, they are just too temperamental and anything the player does can make them start disliking him. But I quite like the crowd in the USO.

The US day crowd is quite different from evening crowd. IMO, day crowd is more knowledgeable and fair fans than the night ones.

:wavey: Lee

:haha: Cue photo from MC a couple of years ago.

I still need inspiration for new avy. *sigh*

Oh right, I'm rooting for Monfils in that one. You?

Always been a Roddick fan so he comes first, but I like Gaël too. Just hope Andy doesn't get blown away :p

Us day crowd is more sleepy:shrug:

So we'll still be :nerner:ing later.

It's okay for Andy to win though. I like him.

Us day crowd is more sleepy:shrug:

Because they are not drunk like the night crowd :p

AO crowd seems to be drunk day AND night :smash: :rolls:

:spit:

When will this match be over:zzz:poor Andy and Gaél:p

AO crowd seems to be drunk day AND night :smash: :rolls:

:lol: Indeed - they seem generally happy drunks though :D

:spit:

When will this match be over:zzz:poor Andy and Gaél:p

Must admit I'm falling asleep here :yawn: Hot weather and a day at work - can hardly keep my eyes open.

:haha:

Nevermind...


Lol

As I watch JJ on ESPN, I'm reminded once again of how much I dislike Mary Carillo as a commentator. Please shut up more Mary! :ignore:

I love your avatar btw

I agree that Lee needs a new avy. :bounce:

That guy is intimidating even in that phot. :unsure:

Less commercial, less annoying commentators and better HD quality, I will stay with TTC. :rocker2:

Wow, both TTC and ESPN are showing the matches? :eek:

TTC mainly showing Tsonga-DelPo. They're usually allowed to continue coverage until the match they're mainly showing is finished. ESPN is pretty much just showing JJ as they wait for Monfils-Roddick.

I agree that Lee needs a new avy. :bounce:

That guy is intimidating even in that phot. :unsure:

:armed: YOU ARE NOT allowed to say anything negative about him.


Another brainfart from DP :help: at important bp

Come on JO!!!

I love your avatar btw

Thank you. Yours is nice as well. :)

:armed: YOU ARE NOT allowed to say anything negative about him.


Another brainfart from DP :help: at important bp

:bolt: :unsure: :scared:

But.... I did not do such thing! :awww: :unsure: Being intimidating isn't necessarly a negative thing! :sad:

They kind of ping-ponging between the 2 matches.

How's JJ doing guys:?

JJ serving for match at BP. (30-40). Just broken. 5 All.

Playing better than in 2nd.

I know the feeling i still watch it cause i'm a tennis fan but i don't get that excited like i do when Novak is playing:o

JJ is on Eurosport:D

:tape: Ok, ok, miss fangirl. :nerner:

MTF strikes again :mad:

The posts getting messed up again:spit::lol:

I know the feeling i still watch it cause i'm a tennis fan but i don't get that excited like i do when Novak is playing:o

JJ is on Eurosport:D

Yes - and she'll probably lose too :sad:

JJ looks tired:awww:

JJ will NOT lose! :mad:

Nevr seen that girl before who is she:confused:

Upcoming teenager from Romania.

Nevr seen that girl before who is she:confused:

:tape: Ok, ok, miss fangirl. :nerner:

So now you're behaving like normal MTFers, when you're out of argument, you throw in the "fangirl" just like "not a real tennis fan" :ras:


:rolls:

JJ will NOT lose! :mad:

:yeah:

:worship: MTF. This is a new low. My quote for Noleta before Raquel.

Upcoming teenager from Romania.

Ok:o

JJ:smash::mad:

:rolls:

Now that hurt. :bigcry:

I have come to piece with the fact that I am a fangirl. :angel: And if 3 years ago somebody told me that when I hit 18 I was going to be a fangirl... of a tennis player (:eek: even more unlikely) I'd never believe. :nerner:

I

JJ 2 pts from defeat. Come on Jelena!

:woohoo: I go to make my arrabiata sauce and he's won!

Giraffe now officially on the Herdwick approval list.

Bloody women still going :banghead: Poor crowd

Bring on Andy-Gael FFS. BBCi not showing it :sobbing: so we depend upon Eurosport.:scared:

Jelena may go on for at least another hour :o :help:

They should move the Roddick/Gael match to Chatrier :shrug:

Razzano-Stosur match is on Chatrier right now. Just beginning.

Why couldn't Jankovic have served it out at 5-4? I want JJ to win but I really want this to be over soon. Conflicted. :awww:

Jelena and Sorana, it's ENOUGH!

Razzano-Stosur match is on Chatrier right now. Just beginning.

I know she's French but WTF are they thinking of scheduling that on Chatrier instead of Gael-Andy? :retard:

And I keep thinking Jelena's got her dress caught in her knickers :lol:

I know she's French but WTF are they thinking of scheduling that on Chatrier instead of Gael-Andy? :retard:

yeah :retard:

The Romanian girl is annoying the hell out of me and I don't really know why :shrug:

The Romanian girl is annoying the hell out of me and I don't really know why :shrug:

Because she has got so many chances and didn't take a damn single one of them? :tape: She doesn't annoy me though.

JJ, that's what happens when you serve for a match in a final set and get broken. :shrug:

Study time :wavey:

JJ gone! Sad but bring on Monfils-Roddick!

It's over. JJ being way too passive and once Cirstea stopped making errors, it's over for JJ.

:haha: Are they singing 'Monfils?' Oh poor Andy :spit:

And Flemish tv just stopped broadcasting without saying anything :speakles: They didn't even say bye! How rude's that?

:wavey: Desperate needs for grocery. Even it's toasting outside. :sobbing:

And please let ES cover it! Crowd calling for Gael :haha:

Yes - ES showing it! :bounce:

Now - I really like both of these 2 so guess will be happy whoever wins. :D

Suddenly we are a few minutes delayed. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Time to eat dinner :D Later :kiss:

:wavey: Food on laps on sofa tonight

First AO and then RG..
None of the Serbs could go through to semifinals. :bigcry:
Do something in Wimby !!

Andy's clothes look clean :worship: Don't know if they are smelly though, but we don't care abou that :p

Gonna get me a bowl of strawberries and hope I can enjoy this match :unsure: :lol:

Allez Monfils!!

Hmm - black and white are a tricky combination to get right. But am sure he's sufficiently fragrant.:D

We've had Bambi on ice a while ago, it's now time for Goofy on ice. Andy nearly fell for like 4 times already :lol: He really moves like he slips on ice, he's funny.

Then do we have Goofy versus Donald Duck tonight :lol:

Is everyone tennis'd out? It's gone quiet...

It's indeed quiet here :awww:

What a great smash, Andy :worship: Except for the bit that you netted it :smash:

:secret: Ellen, the oldies: Rose, Lee and Herdwick went to bed early. It's not good for the old people to stay up late.


Come on Gael!!!

:spit: I can't wait for their reactions!

That would be VERY early for Lee though :rolls:

Good evening Raine. How nice to see you:p

We understand you're a bit peevish 'cos things didn't go quite to plan ;)

I am perfectly fine. :D

What match? [/end of amnesia mode]

:haha:

Didn't you know, Lee is 200 years old. She needs to sleep really early. :)

Gael force tonight indeed.

Blimey - Roger must be getting nervous already.

Getting rather dark, eh :aplot:
