ILE rolling non-slam Tennis thread

haven't watched azarenka since she fluked past clijsters in AO. still shit serve and completely weaponless against any aggressive opponent who's playing well i see.

Serving for the match...opens with two DFs. Well done Domi.

serving for it, starts with 2 DFs LOLLLLLLLLLLL

xp lol

similar to wozniak's collapse yesterday :D i love collapses so much

Oh LOL at that game.

Oh my god that drop shot on BP that was nowhere close to landing in. 5-5. Obviously.

facepalm

omg loll at serena's comments before the stosur match

"she obviously wants to prove it wasn't luck" <3

I cannot remember arriving home and checking the Internet and seeing worse results. Cibulkova choking? Federer losing to Roddick? Enough, tennis.

Like that other time Federer lost to Roddick, my reaction is: do you have no pride? No shame? Why are you sinking to such depths and humiliating yourself in public like this?

omg how embarrassing

"I don’t get enough credit for being, you know, a super nice person"

Yes, Serena <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

i can't imagine why

WTF WAS THAT SHOT FROM NISHIKORI

smh

easy putaway on set point down... ugh

yawn @ sharapova/li

both out of form. both brainless. add wind to that and you have yourself a shitfest.

i was almost disappointed when someone finally held

off.

idk why people say Li is one-dimensional, she can hit such an incredible variety of errors

Li:

4 winners.
41 unforced errors.

41 UEs in 15 games is quite some ratio.

did anyone see the Roddick/Monaco match? was it as hilarious as the scoreline indicates?

i don't watch matches involving roddick on principle

but that bagel <3

asderaki the umpire for serena/woz

WHAT IS LIFE

THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING.

wait Venus beat Ivanovic??????? lol

ummmmm wut? have I woken in an alternate universe? how embarrassing for Serena, almost as embarrassing as Fed's loss. How did this even happen? And after serving so well vs. Stosur!

5 and 0 over Roddick for The Principality is more than I could have dreamed of though. Thanks Juan! Ending the revival before it began.

When was the last time Serena had three consecutive losses in major events to opponents who should not have been threats to her? Wimbledon doesn't count because her comeback had just started, but then she played GOAT tennis throughout the USO series. Losing to Stosur, Makarova and Wozniacki in Slams/Miami is just bizarre.

don't lex :(

i'm so depressed :(

BRING ME BACK TO 2009 BECAUSE I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS

didn't realise anyone out there missed Safina's reign at No 1

hahaha

also, Serena's "I was only playing at 20% of my level" comment? I'm sure she's reusing that. Her excuses are only at 20% as well these days ;_;

i miss serena's USO + AO + W reign :( :( :( :(

tennis sucks so much

holy shit I hope you all were watching that, it was fucking gorgeous

:D :D :D

MARION <3

CAKE beat Kirilenko 1 and 2. Every Kirilenko match should go like that. I like to think Marion was as offended by Kirilenko's recent success as me.

Same can be said about the Azarenka streak.

My heart right now

CAKE :D

I am unsurprised by these results, you know Cake is impervious to aura and wouldn't fold.

Somewhat surprised to discover that Cake has never beaten A-Rad. The winner really needs to come from the top half though, and I really don't trust Aga to beat Ma$ha in the final...

:D at Maria BSing her way to another final. And no Azarenka this time!

And unless I'm mistaken, Radwanska still has no losses this year other than to Azarenka!

Thank you Maria for saving us from the match-up with undoubtedly the worst matches of all time: Woz/Rad

^^^ that. The Rad/Woz match from the YEC made me throw up so much.

Nonetheless, I will totally be reverting to my recently-abandoned Radwanska stan-hood if she wins this.

Federer must be so fucking embarrassed losing to Roddick now the finalist he would have faced is Murray not Nadal. Still, losing to Roddick should be punishable by more than just embarrassment. Wonder if he could get #2 back anyway.

BEST
RESULT
EVER

I have been given joy and life by Maria's pissed-off face, she absolutely cannot bear losing to Aga! Isn't she back in Siberia yet?

LOL WTF

thank god i missed that

maria in finals... so embarrassing

aga winning the 1st set with one winner. LOL PATHETIC PLAYER. MARIA LOL EVEN MORE PATHETIC PLAYER.

LOVE YOU A-RAD LET'S NEVER FIGHT AGAIN.

Quite honestly this is a better result than I could have hoped for.

good lord what a point

lol @ how much Murray stuffed up that game. from 40-0 up iirc?

I also forgot that Murray beat Djokovic in the Miami final 3 years ago.

Heh, every game going to multiple deuces and Murray losing them all.

lol @ how much Murray stuffed up that game. from 40-0 up iirc?

^yup -__-

aaaagh I cannot take this shitty stream that constantly freezes but I can still hear the point getting better and better. why is technology so shit?

Live streaming sites seem to be getting worse all the time, 'tis true.

Points are getting longer but not sure they're getting better exactly - practically every one seems to end on another Murray forehand into the net.

I have turned it off b/c I can't fucking see anything anyway. Going to see the new Werner Herzog film instead. Might stab a couple of live stream site owners on the way.
