I usually don't think this about male players but Nieminen really makes tennis seem boring to me. I don't know what it is about his game but it's not enjoyable for me to watch.

 

[keqtqiadv]

no

 

[Bobby]

Then don't watch it. I don't think it's boring at all. Should we all start a thread about players we don't enjoy watching?

 

[Bad Religion]

Me too

 

[Alonsofz]

Me too :shrug:

 

[*Ljubica*]

No - I like Nieminen....... and at least he desn't take hours adjusting his clothing between each service point :angel:

you are a fan of murray and you talk about boring game?

Who could you be talking about? :lol:

I find the huge servers more boring. I quite enjoyed Nieminen's match with Kohlschreiber, even if it was somewhat error strewn.

Sharkface does indeed have a shit game to watch, I think it's a lefty thing.

 

[tangytennis]

You don't find 86 mph serves entertaining?

For me I think it depends who he's up against - he's such a solid, dependable sort of player with very little in the way of "big plays", that he's better to watch when you see him against someone different - a bit flashy, or big serving, etc. Pair him with another similar playing style to himself and it can become a bit samey.

You must be drooling over his match-up with Rafa :lol:

(Not that Rafa can't be flashy.)

Rafa's different hitting style provides something of a contrast.

Failing that, there's always the ass to stare at.

I'll get by

 

[The Freak]

It's because all Nieminen does is push the ball the whole match.

 

[Kristen]

I don't find it boring. He gets right into it at times... he's not flashy or over the top, and I can appreciate that in a player. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Does anyone know if he has a coach again now? The last time I paid attention I think he had been working with his father a little.

No, it's just you.

 

[Action Jackson]

Simple answer to the thread question is no.

Too bad he forgot to believe in himself when he lead Rafa a set and 4-1 in Barcelona.

This is the problem with him, he doesn't have the belief against the better players.

Good call.

I remember watching that match on livescoring and the Rafa fans absolutely having kittens about the clay court streak.
