Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Murray/Djokovic at lunchtime? Perfect timing, get back from coaching at 1.15, make my din dins and watch that.
I can't call that one. It should go to 3 but Berdych should beat Tsonga. I wonder what the odds are on that.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
I hope Murray brings his aggressive game tomorrow. He can play some very nice aggressive tennis, but he decides to be passive, and it's a tad annoying, because you know he's capable of playing more aggresively. I also hope that Djokovic puts on a better performance than he did against Tsonga. He got away with winning the 1st set, because Jo didn't capitalise on his opportunities
I hope Jo manages to pull out a great performance in 1 of the next 2 matches. If he's going to be eliminated, then we need to see a Tsonga clinic along the way.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Berdych 8/13, Tsonga 5/4.
Murray/Djokovic over 2.5 sets 11/10. I'm having some of that.
Paddy Power btw for those interested.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Murray Djokovic definitely must watch very likely it will go 3 sets.

Overall he didn't play badly in that match.
Wanted Del Potro to win but I was expecting Ferrer to win. Ferrer is a bad match-up for Del Potro.
Federer and Ferrer will probably qualify now.
Tommorow, Djokovic in 3, Berdych in 3.

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Fed and Del Po are friends. And their conspired to get Murray eliminated in 2009
Well, today's matches are interesting. Berdych and Tsonga are fighting to stay in the competition really. If Tsonga can play well, he can win this, but off season can't come soon enough, so i'm going to say Berdych in 3.
Djokovic is facing some personal issues coming into this match, and that may affect his performance. Hopefully it doesn't, so we can see a good match of tennis. If Djokovic plays well then Djokovic in 3. If not, then Murray in 3.

Winning the World tour undefeated gives you 1500 points, that's what Federer wants.

Of course. I was joking  . Not about Del Po and Fed being friends though. Federer got Juan a WC for Basel in 06 or something, and they talk very highly of each other.
Federer is on during the afternoon session tomorrow against Ferrer. I get home early, so i can watch that

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Djokovic def. Murray 4-6,6-3,7-5.
Djokovic was too good in the end. Murray was the better player to start with, but the 2nd and most of the 3rd was controlled by Nole.
Average match really. Too many Unforced Errors for it to be a good match imo. It was tense though

Re: Tennis Discussion Thread
Deserved win for Djokovic. Better player in the last 2 sets. They'll have a much better match in the Final.
