I hadn't seen your post, but yes, that's exactly what is happening now. The Olympic rings are pretty far from the baseline!

He's lying on the ground, but I don't think he's injured, just enjoying the little break...

He had 0-30 on Nole's serve, but lost 3 long rallies...

... and Nole plays a great dropshot to get a 5-3 lead.

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:38 PM

He's playing S&V on the first point - or sort of.

Never mind, he wins the point, the surprise effect probably.

Allez, force him to serve it out at least! Even though Nole isn't prone to choke jobs...

Well, today is just not my tennis day. Though I would love for Gael to hold here, so Nole has to serve for it.

2moretogo · 08-14-2008, 04:39 PM

And he is!!! 4-5!!!

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:41 PM

Good volley from Nole, 15-0.

2moretogo · 08-14-2008, 04:42 PM

hahahahaha, Pixie... (updated to say that Jurgen had the audacity to break Rafa back he has now won, one game!)

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:42 PM

FH from Gaël was called out, he challenges and it's good, allez!
The umpiring is really bad. The chair umpire hasn't overruled once!

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:43 PM

A great point, nice dropshot from Nole, but Gaël reaches it and finally wins the point at the net.
15-15. Thanks God he challenged the last point.

Yeah, its too fucking late at night to be trying to ump these matches. Especially since there is little to no atmosphere because of the ticket situation.

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:44 PM

UE from Nole, 15-30.

I can't see any other player in the French camp, I guess Alizé and Gilles have already left, they're both friends of Gaël.

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:45 PM

Good FH from Nole, 30-30.

Truc · 08-14-2008, 04:45 PM

Passing-shot wide, MP Nole.
