2012 Live Commentary

Off you go

Weintraub looks like is gonna make 1-1 in the Japan against Israel tie.

Istomin is leading Korolev by 2 sets to 1.

What's up with Nishikori ? Will he be able to play on sunday ? Because if Weintraub wins today and Nishikori can't play on sunday, Japan is in huge danger.

Korolev took the 4th set 6-0 with many winners and few unforced errors. May be good for his mental if he takes that.

If Fed's match can be played, it will be played into a wind comparable to Murray's semifinal. Will be a shitty match.

Let's see how Winderer does then :lol:

It just started

Love hold to start. Also Tomug plays in 10 minutes I think, vs. Stebe

Fuckin stupid this Roger. Now it starts raining he'll have to wait and he's missing shanghai because of this shit davis cup.....

:facepalm:

Agreed it's stupid, and yeah play is suspended :facepalm:

Brilliant idea by the Dutch to put a Davis Cup venue in September outdoor.The chance to avoid rain was probably 0%.

Israel is 1-1, without Nishikori (shoulder injury) on sunday it's in huge danger for Japan.

Korolev had breakpoints in the beginning of 5th set then unfortunately for his mental, lost his serve twice at 3-3.

Fuckin stupid this Roger. Now it starts raining he'll have to wait and he's missing shanghai because of this shit davis cup.....

:facepalm:

yes he may have back problems because of the wind and rain and cool temperature today :(

but he didn't say yet that he will miss Shanghai. And if he's not sure to play there, nothing says it will be because of Davis cup.

Bernard Tomug is serving to start

Retarded scoreline, but Istomin does win in five.

Stebe hasn't won a point yet :facepalm:

edit: 1-1

Stebe broke Tomug :haha: :haha:

Pat Rafter not talking to Tomug :haha:

Yeah I saw it :lol:

I still think he'll win, Stebe is erratic as hell

Pretty sure Pat wants him to lose :lol:

:haha:

I hope he does too. 2 More BPs for Stebe, good god

Why are all the DC matches played on clay?

Dunno.

Tomic just can't get to drop shots. Stebe used no disguise and Tomug still moved just a meter.

Stebe with 2 more BPs

WILD miss by Tomug and Stebe has a double break lead in set 1.

vamos Ferrer! :cheerleader:

2 Set points Stebe

edit1: 6-2 Stebe :D :D :D

Querrey :lol:

Roger toying :facepalm:

Ferrer DFs to give 2 BPs :facepalm:

Querrey GOATing :O:O:O

Queerey breaks Ferrer, too many "Ferrors". Queerey is also playing well.

Vamos Sam!

Come on Sam, break now and grab the set!

Ferrer DF :facepalm:

Serving to stay in the first set

Fuck me, Ferrer DFs twice in a row :facepalm:

Sp Usa!!!!

Ferrer saves both SP :D

Another terrible Ferror, 3rd SP

Tomic is about to take the second set.

Son of a whore, Ferrer drops the 1st after being a break up :mad:

Queerey with 3 (?) UEs to give the first break of set 2.

Federer took the first set 6-3 and and has broken de Bakker in the first game of the second set in very windy conditions and after a rain delay.

Respectfully,

Nice, I didn't know they were back playing.

Ferrer 2*-1, Querrey is hitting the forehand well.

Yes. I managed to find a wonderful HD Dutch feed (http://nos.nl/dossier/415838-davis-cup/tab/499/live/).
Unforced errors by both a bit high, but expected in the wind.
Federer just broke again for a 3-0 lead. Now he looks quite relaxed.

How is Querrey serving? Ferrer having trouble with the return?

Respectfully,

That's probably the best tennis stream I've ever seen :lol:

edit: Querrey is serving pretty well but Ferrer isn't having too much trouble with 1st serve returns. It seems like David missed more 2nd serve returns :lol:

Roger you mug.

Just end this quickly and fly to china.

Federer relaxed too much and got broken. Oh well... :)

Oh Federer was broken by de Bakker? :lol:

Break point Ferrer

Ferrer completely missed a 1st serve return :lol:

Querrey DF on game point

I think Federer was going for the lines a bit too much. Too risky in this much wind. Also, the far end seems a bit worse dealing with the wind. Also, de Bakker is playing fairly well at times.

Respectfully,
masterclass

De Bakker repeating Isner's feat? Expect uninspired Fed lose doubles tomorrow.

Fed looks unhappy out there, it's windy and there's the constant threat of rain. Not too mention the dutch hillbillies in the stands.. sigh.

Anyways, even this Fed is waay too much for de Bakker. De Bakker's FH is pathetic for a pro.

Ace to hold for de Bakker. Also Ferrer is out-acing Queerey, good stuff :D

De Bakker repeating Isner's feat? Expect uninspired Fed lose doubles tomorrow.

Nahh, doubtful. He's still up a set and a break. And the ball isn't bouncing a two feet over Federer's head like it did in Fribourg. LOL

Respectfully,
masterclass

2 BPs for Ferrer. David with excellent defence as usual

edit: Yeah that match with Isner and Fed was ridiculous :lol:

Ferrer hit the ball at Querrey who was a foot away from the net and Queery dumps the volley :lol:

Ferrer with a double break in set 2

Do you have a good feed for Querrey-Ferrer Mr. Slade (or anyone)?

Thanks! Yeah, that Dutch feed is amazing. Hope it holds up for the whole tie...

Respectfully,
masterclass

No problem sir.

Ferrer takes set 2 with Queerey UE 6-2 :D

edit: Federer also takes set 2

edit2: Querrey was serving worse than I thought, only 41% FS in. I thought it was 50-55%

Querrey is playing quite well imo. I figured he would hardly win a game against Ferrer on clay.

Fed has no rhythm whatsoever.

Fed has no rhythm whatsoever.

nope..result of clay, wind, de Bakker's lucky shanks and halfcourtballs and a collection of tools in the audience

I see Feliciano Lopez in Ferrers stream.

I'm still mad at Mugpez for losing to Murray while winning 8 more points :mad:

He might actually lose this to be honest if this keeps up :facepalm:

Fed's gunna lose. They're provoking him during the points. That shit is uncalled for.

de Mugger with a BP

edit: gone

:facepalm: this is Fed at his absolute worst...

Why are people thinking Fed will lose? He's still 2 sets up.

Why are people thinking Fed will lose? He's still 2 sets up.

people? just Brotree, and he's probably just trolling again
Fed won't lose, but he's playing like crap

people? just Brotree, and he's probably just trolling again
Fed won't lose, but he's playing like crap

He could beat De Bakker at 10%, so playing crap probably isn't that bad.

Surprised Querrey got a set off Ferrer. Maybe the USA has a chance after all....

BP Ferrer with Queerey UE

people? just Brotree, and he's probably just trolling again
Fed won't lose, but he's playing like crap

There's a first for everything :shrug:

The wind is worse than the US Open wind. :lol:

Fed playing like crap, still 2-0 against de Bakker.
Wouldn't be surprised if he lost this set, but he needs to find some rhythm / motivation.

There's a first for everything :shrug:

don't worry mate, I can appreciate some trolling :devil:

Goddamn, Queerey is bashing very well on the forehand side.

Lmao, Fed Clown has de Bakker at the net and he clips the net on the passer to lose the point :lol:

people? just Brotree, and he's probably just trolling again
Fed won't lose, but he's playing like crap

Of course he's playing like crap.

Imagine you could be with your family having a nice vacation in Bora Bora but your boss calls you to go to work because your colleagues are worthless mugs who can't do the job as well as you do.

de Mugger is broken.

This Commentator in Federer's match is like a horses race's Commentator!

The crowd's not so loud now are they :lol:

:lol:

BP Ferrer

Federer doesn't need to play good. He's playing out-of-season clay, against a player which has no chance against him, in bad weather conditions and in need to not overuse himself physically for the upcoming indoor hard season.

Of course he's playing like crap.

Imagine you could be with your family having a nice vacation in Bora Bora but your boss calls you to go to work because your colleagues are worthless mugs who can't do the job as well as you do.

preaching to the choir here. I was quite vocal about not thinking that his being in my neighbourhood was an intelligent decision.

And I'm still convinced the Swiss team could win this without Federer.

Stebe with a great tweener :worship:

The crowd's not so loud now are they :lol:

Fed about to put de Cracker and this clowncrowd out of their misery

mugrinka win your match so roger can win the doubles match and settle this.

2 BPs Ferrer

Queerey not looking so good

Are you really Dutch ? :lol:

yup, I live 5 mins away from this event :P
You have no idea how people here used to talk about the Bakker, like he was gonna be a top-20 player for sure, and probably even top-10... Haase was a little worse, so he would make top-25 or something..

Dutch tennis is a joke, this entire generation is a bunch of pushers with no incentive to become better players (with the exception of Haase, who is a pusher, but at least has the drive).

I miss Verkerk :(

EDIT: and just as I finished this rant, the idiotic commentator was ecstatic about the Bakker playing ONE good point and says "here you see why he is potentially a top-20 player" :facepalm:

I miss Verkerk :(

Actually me too.:)

Then WHY didn't you go watch Roger play?!

Tomic is up 2 sets to 1.

Bernard, what patience for such a young man :inlove:. He would outlast Spanish claycourters of the 90s.

LMFAO @ the changeover song :haha:

Nieminen took out Crivoi in 3 sets in the Group I relegation playoff Romania vs Finland.

Federer beats de Mugger

preaching to the choir here. I was quite vocal about not thinking that his being in my neighbourhood was an intelligent decision.

And I'm still convinced the Swiss team could win this without Federer.

It's all very psychological. After last year's disappointing loss for him vs. Djokovic, he took an exhausting trip to Australia and the Swiss played well and beat Australia in the Davis Cup tie there. Federer took a rest and then came back highly energized to sweep all matches and tournaments for the rest of the year.

So after this year's disappointing loss in the US Open to Berdych, Federer's probably looking to repeat the scenario. Netherlands is clay not grass but is much closer than Australia. Best scenario for him would be to win Shanghai, win at Basel, then skip or exit early in Paris to be have full energy in London for the Master's cup (WTF).

Too bad Sijsling wasn't feeling well. He's played well at times and likes to volley.

Darcis won against Ryderstedt with a bagel in the third set. 1-0 Belgium.

Queerey with a couple of lucky netcords :banghead:

For FUCK's sake. Ferrer nets a smash at the service line :facepalm:

Disgusting net luck from Queerey, BP #5

edit: Ferrer holds

Does anyone else hear the commentator breathing in the Ferrer/querrey match? Like when he's not talking... there's a sound like he's got the microphone next to his nose?

I can hear it a little bit yeah.

Finally Ferrer holds, he saved 9 BPs LMAO :lol:

Nice avatar Mr. Slade :yeah:

Respectfully,
masterclass

Thank you good sir, you as well. Pete was my favourite before Gonzalez and Fed

Querrey is ballbashing so well.

Querrey 2/14 on break points so far. :no:

Respectfully,
masterclass

Those long rallies just look so much better on clay than on hard courts.

Ferrer with a 0-30 on Queerey, do this shit

Ferrer chokes the forehand. Querrey was almost off the court and David nets the forehand :facepalm:

He also nets a 2nd serve return :facepalm:

Should have been 0-40, not 30-30

Dude should seek medical advice for that nasal passage obstruction.

:lol:

Queerey is going for a lot, finally missed a big forehand.

Ferrer lost 17 points on serve in 4 service games (3rd set) and still hasn't been broken :lol:

LMAO Queerey DFs at a crucial point :haha: :haha: :haha:

0-40

edit: Ferrer serving for the match

pls DC Netherlands / Switzerland, who is the singer in the NL crowd performing during rain delay? :cool: I like it, very entertaining

No idea :shrug:

Motherfuck...

DF on match point :facepalm:

David is choking. Forehand went long

edit: Luckily Querrey makes the error. If I were Querrey I would push at that point. :lol: Ferrer was going to choke

pls DC Netherlands / Switzerland, who is the singer in the NL crowd performing during rain delay? :cool: I like it, very entertaining

Marco Borsato.

And the last 2 songs he performed were:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX1EHVucVZI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsz1_cUe_4

He actually has quite a lot good songs. Also Margherita and de Waarheid.

He is probably the most succesfull dutch singer.

Marco Borsato

Thank you for the answer :kiss:

That's Marco Borsato, a very succesful Dutch singer. :)

EDIT: ah someone was ahead of me.

Let's go Mugro.

Fuck off Mugro you clown :facepalm:

DF? Taken to deuce by Isner in the first service game :facepalm:

david goffin takes the first set off vinciguerra 6-4

served for it at 5-2 but got broken

Goffin has got to stop getting broken serving for sets.

Also Isner is ballbashing pretty well

Oh boy, Isner was about to hit a 2nd serve and Mugro rushes into the court :facepalm:

It's Isner ffs, of course Mugro hit the return out from such a position

Break point Mugro.

edit1: Mugro breaks! Isner nets a huge forehand.

Isner is a such a clown :lol:

Yes it appears that S.Bot Isner V2.1 is malfunctioning.

david breaks at 15

up 2-1 in the second set now over vinciguerra

Isner serves himself out of trouble.

Hewitt breaks Mayer.

How is Del Potro looking, anyone watching?

Injury wise I mean of course

How is Del Potro looking, anyone watching?

See for yourself: Stream (http://lsh.lshunter.tv/static/popups/10993202909030.html)

Nope, just see the score of Del Potro vs Stepanek.

Mugro 4-2*

How is Del Potro looking, anyone watching?

DelPo coming to serve at 1-2, Stepanek just had a comfortable hold. In DePo's last serve, Steps had one BP, I didn't watch that except from livescore.

See for yourself: Stream (http://lsh.lshunter.tv/static/popups/10993202909030.html)

ok thanks.

Isner with a slice-fail. One game away from set 1 for Almugro.

Isner :haha:

Del Pothead with some great forehands

Meanwhile Wawrinka is losing the 2nd set after being a break up. He lost his serve 3 times:lol:

Meanwhile Wawrinka is losing the 1st set after being a break up. He lost his serve 3 times:lol:

Jesus christ :facepalm:

Del Potro has fallen. He looked in slight pain.

edit: Mugro with set 1 6-4

Can't watch th streaming now and SB say 4-3 already for a long time. What's happening?

Can't watch th streaming now and SB say 4-3 already for a long time. What's happening?

Sexy having a BP.

Goffin should have already ended this match for a long time. Seems too easy for him, too slow.

Stepanek would have broke if he made the BH DTL but he netted it :haha:

Sexy having a BP.

SB must broken then.

Goffin letting this Guy back in :facepalm:

DP finally held.

Isner is holding dangerously easy, like to 0 or 15 each time. I sense Mugro will lose the set in a tb

Stepanek missed few BPs on Del Potro and gets broken himself to love :facepalm:

Same shit as usual. Just in time for DP to serve it out. What an absolute clown

Czechs should let Rosol play. I am not complaining though, I want DelPo of the court as quickly as possible.

well I've just returned to see rubber nr. 2 is an absolute mugfest between Wawrinka and Haase..jolly

Isner looks like an amateur on some points, like this last one.

:lol:

Mugro couldn't break Isner with 2 BPs. Isner was playing Mug-tacular

Meanwhile Wawrinka is losing the 2nd set after being a break up. He lost his serve 3 times:lol:

No problem, you can always count on Haase to be an even bigger clown.

No problem, you can always count on Haase to be an even bigger clown.

You inspired Haase to a demonstration. What an abysmal game to hand Wawrinka set #3

Come on Goffin, finish this. No bullshitting around.

Why do Davids BP's always inspire his opponents to play GOAT tennis?

You inspired Haase to a demonstration. What an abysmal game to hand Wawrinka set #3

As soon as he couldn't convert Those BP's on 3-4 You knew the set was over.

David, you clown :facepalm:

Mugro serving to stay in the set and goes 0-30, get out of here clown. :facepalm:

nice way to gain 3 BP's for big John :haha:

Mayer breaks to start the 3rd. Set. I can't believe were he comes with this performance, he is playing really well! :)

Almagro hands Isner set #2

FUCK! Mugro!

This guy works so hard and screws himself at the end. Mugro even had 2 BPs earlier in the set and does that :facepalm:

Get out of here CLOWN

:lol: 0-30 and Isner hits 4 aces

If anyone wants to have a good laugh, find a stream for the Italy vs Chile tie. Fognini in full clown mode at the moment.

Missed start of 2nd set, Stepanek broke, how has DelPo played so far in this set?

Unbelievable. Mugro just gave Isner hope.

Isner is very much in this one now.

Almugro ya moron, shanked 2 BHs :facepalm:

Mugro with another UE :facepalm:

Brainless ballbashing from Almugro all of a sudden

Luckily Isner has such a shit return or else any decent returner could break Mugro there.

40-15 to deuce for Isner with 2 UE

Isner breaks himself :lol:

Isner doesn't exactly have "soft hands at the net" :superlol:

Great angled FH

Isner is back to his "confused giraffe" mode :lol:

Haase's returns are so pathetic :lol:

Mugner!:o

Capdeville sounds like he's dying :haha:

Breakpoint Haase at 5-5 in the fourth :eek:

The hell?

Haase serving to stay in it. Let's see if he has good heart

Mugs it up of course :facepalm:

Broken to love now probably :o

Haase serving to stay in it. Let's see if he has good heart

We all know he doesn't :lol:

Mugwrinka UE, 15-15 :lol:

Mp

Match point, NIFD

Robin :sad:

What a volley, you Lionheart!!!

Haase saved MP with a clutch volley.

Mugrinka shanked the BH and now it's 6-6 :lol:

Hell just froze over, Kom aaaaan Robin!

Wawrinka got 4-2, only Mugwrinka can lose this.

Haase dumping 3 straight shots in the net, sigh

3 MPs

Also I see Fed Clown in a beanie :lol:

What THE FUCK was that Robin :o

Mugwrinka chokes the volley! :haha: :haha:

GSM Wawrinka

Mugro serving for the 3rd

Mugro holds, now 2 sets to 1

Capdeville was grunting louder than ever, ballbashed so well in the tb and now leads Fognini 2-1 in sets.

Come on John, now hold and take it to 5th!!

Haha Mugro 0/6 BPs in the 4th, Isner 1/1 :haha:

Well done Mugro.

Fognini-Capdeville going to the 5th, too

GOAT point by Almagro

Agreed

When will Monaco-Berdych start?

They're playing now

Isner is a true warrior, even with his limitations his courage is unreal.

John didn't really hit out on that approach shot on BP and it might be very costly.

Is there a TB?

Is there a TB?

IIRC no, so waiting for 70-68.

:haha: 31mins 5th set and just 2 games have been played. There were 26 points in the Fog's serving game

Then wouldn't hurt to bet on Almagro to win. This is 110%.

Fog vs Capdeville suspended

Italy-Chile suspended due to darkness. Why the hell did the second match start billion hours after the 1st one? Was there any rain delay? If not then it takes some skill not to finish 2 matches when the 1st one started before the noon and it lasted only 3 sets.

Then wouldn't hurt to bet on Almagro to win. This is 110%.

Mugro wasn't too impressive in the big points in 2nd and 4th sets, expect him to choke.

WTF, Berdy and Monaco are holding returns like WTA players.

Not breaking must hurt Almagro.

Balls of steel serving from Isner. Aces on match points against him and then finally on his ad point to hold. :worship:

Respectfully,
masterclass

thats not balls of steel

Isner is probably the least talented person ever to hold a tennis ball in his hand.

This Argie crowd is brilliant :lol:

WTF, Berdy and Monaco are holding returns like WTA players.

I don't expect any different from Mugaco but Berdy doesn't look very convincing right now.

Come on Mugnaco!!!

Is Delpo/Berdych first tomorrow?

Good stuff Mugaco!

bamos pico

Must be the worst few sets i've ever seen Berdych play.

Berdych is absolutely shocking.

Monaco's been solid enough and the crowd have definitely kept him fighting.

tomas really has to be the most inconsistent top 10 player in the world right now

none of the other guys are as up and down as he is not only within a year but within one tournament

No power, no depth, can't keep in rallies, serve is absolutely shocking, and no emotions. He's clearly tired and can't be bothered.

Why does Nikala Scholtz have no ranking? He looks decent.

tomas really has to be the most inconsistent top 10 player in the world right now

none of the other guys are as up and down as he is not only within a year but within one tournament

Yeah, I almost hope him to win one slam and then after it never ever make it to the 2nd week. Until some years later finally another good slam run, another GS title. And then never ever to 2nd week. That'd make him a legend.

monaco from 4-2 to 4-6:rolleyes:

:spit: :superlol:

NIFD. This is why Del Potro was under pressure to play this tie; as long as he has one working arm/can unleash a FH, he's infinitely better than choking mugs like Mugaco.

The word will end before Mugaco develops even one clutch bone.

^well it wasnt choking per se. Berdych just started to play better and Monaco just doesnt have any weapons for it:shrug:

:spit: :superlol:

Mugaco being Argentina's second best player while Nalbandian is out is very depressing.

Mugaco :smash:

Nalbandian if fit would have won this.
