you could tell who the pussies are... tsonga/hewitt stopped first, understandable though they just got on court. lopez was whining like a little bytch (surprise), the rest just played on thru it til they were told to stop

 

[yoyoyo1]

well the crowd aint using umbrellas anymore, hopefully it starts again quick

garcia-lopez was down 40-0 triple match point and roger-vasselin serving, won 9 straight points, serving for match , gets broken, then breaks back, down 0-40, comes back to deuce, gives away 3 more break points, and they're still going at it at 9-8 in the 5th anddddddd as i was typing this, GGL wins 10-8 in the 5th! well done, wish i couldve watched that :D

3 MP on his own serve and he managed to lose this... This is the type of stuff that'll haunt him even if it's just a first round.

we all know murray is going to win, but i'm watching this match for the shotmaking. hopefully davydenko's nerves have settled after the 1st set and we'll have a great match

 

[yoyoyo1]

never mind, davydenko has already given up, thought he was gonna put up more of a fight

 

[yoyoyo1]

johnny mac with extremely interesting commentary on davydenko's career

"this is gonna be the longest hour, hour and a half of his career. i want him to show me something that says he still wants to be out there. because he's ranked 40-50 right now and he can play for two more years if he wants to"

"hewitt is ranked 202 and you may ask, why is he still out there. you dont realize how great of a non-job this is until the end. i think davydenko is realizing that now"

 

[yoyoyo1]

such a non-event people doing the wave on centre court ha

 

[malbaker86]

Man Del Potro.....that FO run and GS win in 09 starting to look more and more like a fluke. I know 2010 was his injury year and last year he was just getting used to being back on the court but i'm thinking he may have just "peaked" that year

edit: then again, grass is his worse surface and he's only 23 so we'll see

Andy don't fukk around on these tiebreaks

It feels weird rooting for him now. I still want him to win every point, but before I had realistic dreams, then I had delusional dreams, now I'm just get through this 200 ranked wild card

12:00—1:00
If Venus’s loss was the emotional high, or low, point of the day, Ernests Gulbis’ win over Tomas Berdych was the peak of excitement and surprise. With a newer, weirder forehand, Gulbis, the head case we’d all given up on, played the match of his career. He hit 30 aces and 62 winners against 33 errors in his three-tiebreaker win. More impressive was the way he handled his nerves in the end. If you hadn’t known who was the higher seed, you might have thought it was Gulbis from the confident way he shrugged off three blown match points and came back to close it out on the fourth.

If you were watching on TV, you also got to see him walk into the BBC interview room immediately afterward, still sweating, and say to the interviewer, “I’m glad I didn’t choke in the end, as usual.” Told a few second later that he should be happy that he’s going to play the winner of two qualifiers next, Gulbis—a man who has been down so long he doesn’t know what it feels like to be up—shrugged and smiled and said, “That’s OK, I’ve already lost to both of them.”

With his explosive shots and slacker charisma, we always knew Ernie could be a player.

Or at least good TV.

the quotes just keep on coming
