Some good matches today.

Esp Stan-Young. Haven't seen either play yet.

Would be magnifique for Richie to get to semis. He's been playing so well recently.
His BH alone and what he is able to do with it is worth all the support he can get.
I've never seen a player so in love with a BH like him. That shot has a direct connection to his heart.

In fact, I have't seen KA&Murray either...KA has weapons to pull it off, but Murray is a master of dissolving players like him when in his dogged mood.

Will faster court make the difference, though?

Are they playing on Ashe or Armstrong?
Hopefully Ashe. No wind Winking

If Richie gets to the sf, he will have beaten Feds more likely! Don't want that!

Doubt that.

Fed is the doctor for Frenchies. Too much talent and flair even for them. artist

Just had a look - Murray on Armstrong again.

I wonder of he is asking to play there, I think he only had one match on Ashe so far.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:55 am

Young (51) ..can Stan cope with pace? Can Young keep it up?
KA (15)
Gasquet (12)
Isner (13) Fed should win if on form......IF.....

Pennetta (26)
Azarenka (20)
Kvit (5)
Halep (2)

Yes but you said you wanted him in the sf! I don't!
I want him to beat Berdych but lose to Feds!

Do you really see Richie able to beat Fed?

by luvsports! Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:19 am

Course not, but again you aren;t answering the question.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:20 am

Which one?

luvsports! wrote:Course not, but again you aren;t answering the question.

I see what you mean! Doh

I thought they were playing for a place in the SF today... Blush

Of course I want Fed to go all the way.
But hats off to Richie if he can pull it off which I don't think he can or will.

I love Stan's no frills tennis, down the line shots at any opportunity, none of that "clever" CC see-saw "rallying"
He sees the gap - "bang" he goes for it!

Gutsy tennis.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 8:49 pm

Gutsy indeed!

That's the way to play.
I was hoping for years Nole would change and be less calculating one day, but he's gone from bad to worse.

But from number 3 to number 1.

No lost love between halep and Lisiki.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:58 pm

There is a funny english commentator on Eurosport. He has a bit of a snubbish accent but I like the way he takes the piss of crowd and players. he brings something new to commentating tennis.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:07 pm

Anderson serving is all over the place. If he starts to serve better, it will get harder for Murray.....but so far kevin's first serve is completely off.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:32 pm

Quite a difference in size between Murray and Anderson's squads.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:33 pm

I'll start watching now

And crucially, he will be remembered as The One Who Has Slain The Beast.

I can just imagine...probably the only "interesting" thing in women's tennis...

by luvsports! Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:38 pm

What happened between them?

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:48 pm

Go Kev!

Wooow....what a "rally" for 4:4...

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:52 pm

Great TB! from both players. But a gutsy shot to close the set from KA.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:03 pm

Murray comes across as someone who actually hates playing tennis.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:07 pm

As said if KA starts to serve properly, it might get tougher for Murray.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:07 pm

More like someone who hates losing. Which is quite childish thinking about it. Federer on the other hand loves the game...and winning.

If he was able to have Nole on the ropes in Wimbledon, no reason not to be able to beat Murray in an even faster conditions.
But as you also said then, he is a choker...

It's hard to imagine enjoying the way he plays...esp week in week out.

And being so negative and foulmouthed....but he obviously has a different mindset.
There are people who get pleasure out of winding up and "stuffing" others.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:20 pm

Great point from Kev for second van.
Murray trying everything to distract his serve: jumping, making noise with shoes, really pathetic!
Even Kev's wife can't hide the disbelief and disgust.

And just when reminds that, KA can't find a 1st serve again.

That's so true.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:29 pm

Does anyone remember Cilic being a set and 5:1 up against Murray and losing?
Murray won USO that year.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:32 pm

reminds me the match v Cilic a few years ago when Murray was 5/1 down ...

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:33 pm

there you go..... Laugh

Poor Kev, his choking is literally visible. He's looks like he is going to have a heart attack any minute.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:49 pm

kevin will find it very hard to close the match...if ever he gets there.

by Tenez Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:50 pm

well done!

I think getting over this wobble will help him close the match.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:50 pm

Wow!!!
He has actually done it!

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:51 pm

But what I don't understand is his foul mouthing to his corner. Why does he need to insult his own team? It's really ugly.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:56 pm

Love the choice from DJ as Murray argues with the umpire about the toilet break:

"Should I stay or should I go?
If I go will be trouble but if I stay it will be double...." musicalnote

I wish the mike was turned off.
We don't have to listen to it. The box obviously don't care as long as he is paying them to sit there...
