Shame the weather is so bad in Paris, second day with virtually no play.

Feels strange as I had a week of 25-31 degrees in Belgrade and it's a beautifull sunny day back in England, too.

Hopefully it won't disturb the tournament too much especially as RG is still the only remaining as organic as it can get a slam - natural surface, no artificial light, no hawkeye, no TB in the 5th set, no roof.

I think this game is going to be a "duel". Less work...more chance to win!

The format is good, who is gung to do the scores?

Well I've finally got my Eurosport subscription and am all set for RG.
The annoying thing is there are about 20 matches going on atm, but it doesn't show court number.

I saw some scores: Dimi is out!

Is this the rock bottom?

Yep sad to see him out...his confidence certainly is 'rock bottom'

the ball striking difference between Murray and Step is huge. Step is so much more talented. But fit Murray will wear him down.

Just started watching.
Murray trying to tire Step.

Can Step do it?

Mercer is excellent in his commentary...taking the piss of Murray.

Tenez wrote:Mercer is excellent in his commentary...taking the piss of Murray.

Good!
Wha is he saying?
I've got Wilander.

Step is a legend!

The good thing about him he is experienced and knows a trick or two...

Justice for treating Amelie so appallingly Cmon Radek 1 more

Shouldn't she be with her newborn?

Why is Murray yelling so much?

Surely Stepanek cannot be intimidated by it.

Step should give his best and try to close the match, but it will be hard as Murray, too knowing there won't be the 5th set this evening is hammering the ball like there's not tomorrow.

Step is really tired!

Tenez wrote:Step is really tired!

Can he win the 5th set fresh tomorrow?

....or the 4th.....Murray won't be too fresh either.

It's an interesting one for betting.

Shall I put a fiver on Step?

it will make the match more interesting.....but I doubt he will win.

I think Step has a chance.

Murray is still vulnerable in the head.

yes he has.

Why is this French referee asking the french ball boys for "new balls"? You are in Paris idiot!

The talent from Step is huge.

Big opportunity wasted by Step.

Just finished my spinning class, gym
 tv showing news and score 4:4 in the 5th, managed to convince 
the gym manager to switch to Eurosport.

Go Radek!

Step lacked guts at 30 all and 40 all. It's understandable..but that was his downfall.

Step really blew his chance for the 
MP with that volley/lob...

You usually don't get a second chance like that...

he was way too cautious.

I knew it...pathetic from Stepanek.

He was...playing granny shots...

With his muscles, Murray has bought five years of "youth".

That's it...I am glad I forgot to put those £5 on Step

Mens tennis is awful these days.

Only 3 games won against miles-past-his-peak kneedal?!

He was playing well until then....just when he realised he was 2 points away that he mind coudl not take it anymore. Sad.

yes....if you think players peak at 25 like FK, you are going to have more surprises down the line.

WOW AMAZING WOW

What is it, I can't see the cideo only comments below it.

yes good one but as said before on clay it's much easier as the ball sits up.

Kneedull is still the best mover on clay when his wheels are oiled.
Who was he playing, Groth?

Waste of space on clay, was it an Australian WC?

I only managed to see Nole pose with Bartoli post match in the corridors.

I can't believe how slim she is now!

Yes, you would think slim woudl have been better for her while at teh top.....not in modern tennis!

Williams sisters have destroyed women's tennis more than Nadal did men's.

I blame them for Henin early retirement, depriving us of best ever woman player shine for several more years.
Nadal was not able to squeeze Federer from the scene the same way.

I feel sorry for women competing now. We are not meant or built to muscle the ball.
From that point of view, it's a miracle Radwanska is in top 5.

So many matches going on atm!
Had a quick look at all...Fognini two sets down vs Granollers  , Gulbis doing well against Seppi...
Ferrer schooling someone...
Laura Robson hitting the ball really well, nice natural player - such a contrast to athletic Petkovic, who I also like for her spirit.

Konta and Georges looking like clones in same dresses, hair colour/style and build...

S. Robert aka Lucky Loser 2 :1 playing his usual heroic tennis vs Anderson.

Tsonga wearing a zebra outfit.

The rest is a blur...

Weather gloomy.

And Robert knocks Anderson out...local hero in his mid 30s...I'll always remember him as a Lucky Loser.
I hope I picked him to win in that prediction game, hehe.


Will Anderson be remembered as a man who could have but didn't beat Nole in Wimbledon from two sets up?

He is also the man who ousted Murray of teh USO last year.

Anderson will come back...he is just injured still it seems.

I hope so, too good a player not to make some good results. To me, he is better than Raonic.

I don't know much about Miskina, had a look at some clips as you like her, but not my kind of player.
