Gasquet takes the first two sets from Murray.

yisman · 05-24-10, 01:06 PM

Murray wins 4-6 6-7 6-4 6-2 6-1

now that definitely should not have been a first round matchup. Gasquet is capable of playing with anyone.

yisman · 06-10-10, 12:17 AM

Monfils wasn't much more than -200 over Schuettler, but wow. He had no business losing that one.

Schuettler 6-3 6-7 6-2

yisman · 06-21-10, 01:17 PM

So Federer and Davydenko goes down 2-0 and comes back to win.

Now Djokovic is down 1-0 and Hewitt is struggling. Bad day to be betting ATP faves.

yisman · 06-21-10, 04:58 PM

Djokovic with a lackluster performance today until he awoke in the fifth set and started putting on a clinic.

Five straight games after being down 2-0 and now he's got match point for a 6-2 win.

About 11 PM now in England.

He wins!

that's the latest they've ever played at Wimbledon

EaglesPhan36 · 06-21-10, 05:18 PM

Exactly the reason they needed the dome and the lights. Exactly why Roland Garros is getting it next year.

Robin Haase has set point vs. Nadal!

and he wins it 7-5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nadal will almost certainly win, but #151 just took the first set from #1.

Haase with 15 Aces

JNic · 06-24-10, 11:36 AM

has anybody watched fognini against russell. the guy is a real character, looks like the karate kid, has this weird strut like im the greatest. lol one of the worst tempers ive ever seen too, constantly smashes his racket, i have a moderate bet on this guy though, but its just hard to root for him

yisman · 06-24-10, 12:28 PM

Haase breaks Nadal to go up 4-2 in the third set.

Aced Nadal four straight for a love hold and goes up 5-2.

yisman · 06-24-10, 12:30 PM

Haase wins the third set 6-3

yisman · 06-25-10, 12:37 PM

Roddick up 7-5 6-5

at 5-4 Roddick, Kohlschreiber faced 0-40 on his serve, but won five straight points to win the game.

yisman · 06-25-10, 12:54 PM

Kohl backs it up by winning the tiebreak.

1-1 in sets.

Kohlschreiber has yet to break Roddick.

yisman · 06-30-10, 12:52 PM

Soderling loses a tiebreak to Nadal and Tsonga loses one to Murray, and both players collapse.

Murray rolled after that, and Nadal did the same.

Murray-Nadal coming up.

yisman · 07-31-10, 10:51 PM

two matches going on in California at the moment

in one, Murray takes the first set 6-0 and Lopez takes the second 6-1
in the other, Radwanska takes the first set 6-1 and Sharapova takes the second 6-2.

yisman · 08-30-10, 10:41 AM

Nishikori up 3-0 on Korolev and serving... but Korolev follows up with a break-hold-break

3-3 now, Korolev serving. What a turnaround.

Russell up a break on Davydiver.

yisman · 08-30-10, 11:00 AM

I didn't realize Nishikori had such a large American fanbase. He's getting huge applause on every point and Korolev is getting almost nothing.

yisman · 08-30-10, 11:08 AM

now in tiebreak and nishikori rolling

yisman · 08-30-10, 11:11 AM

7-0 tiebreaker. good luck on explaining how that happens

first set took about an hour

trainer coming out

yisman · 08-30-10, 11:32 AM

Some guy is up 3-0 on Soderling

yisman · 08-30-10, 05:35 PM

Montanes wins 5-7 1-6 7-5 7-6 6-0

yisman · 08-31-10, 01:58 PM

Baghdatis was about a -1200 favorite over Clement

3-6 6-2 6-1 4-6 5-4 and serving.

break, hold, break and Clement wins.

I love it even though I had no money on Clement. (I hope you didn't have any on Baggy.)

Did you go to the Bash?

yisman · 08-31-10, 02:02 PM

shari, I missed it. I hope one day to attend, but weekends are not a good time for me to travel to Vegas.

I'd like to watch the Riba match (ongoing) and also Ferrer/dolgo, coming up soon, but I don't see streams for them.

Well, we can make a pact to try to get there next year together. I'll be back in Canada after the Aus Open, fingers crossed, so we'll have a lot of time to wheel and deal so both of us can make it there.

yisman · 08-31-10, 02:13 PM

maybe. I'm in NY if you ever want to visit.

I can try for next year but can't make any commitment.

Honey, the word commitment in any context is so far from my vocabulary there's a better chance of Vliegen winning the Open than of my using it.

I'll either be in Montreal or Ottawa, so we'll be close. I'll have a few months to try to convince you since I'll definitely need a wing-man to actually make it there I think.

yisman · 08-31-10, 02:28 PM

I like the sound of that. Let me know.

necro · 08-31-10, 02:41 PM

Fished lost 3rd set on purpose and easily won 4th

yisman · 08-31-10, 02:49 PM

Fish bageled Hajek in the first and fourth sets and now he's up 3-0 in the 5th.

Troicki up a break on Djokovic, tied in sets 1-1

FoolBritannia · 08-31-10, 03:07 PM

Troicki up a break in the 4th. I put a small bet on Troicki +7.5 before the match given the heat and Djokovic's apparent uselessness when warm. Wish I'd put more on it now.

We all knew Djokovic didnt have a prayer of winning the title, but 1st round? We'll see.

yisman · 08-31-10, 04:10 PM

big favorites dropping like flies on the men's side.

Verdasco down to Fognini

Djokovic has forced a fifth set against Troicki

yisman · 06-01-12, 02:29 PM

Devilder won his first two matches in straight sets but can barely win a game off Novak.

Djokovic just steamrolling people.

Optional · 06-02-12, 01:32 AM

I was expecting Nole to fold at some point pre tourney.

That and most other pre-tourney expectations have been wrong.
