That match last night really was the story of Tommy's career in 3 hours. So much talent and potential, has the game to be up there with the best but was just half a weapon short and mentally not with it when the going got tough.
Still a 4th round showing and taking 2 sets off the 2nd best clay courter in the game is more than I was expecting.

good job to hang in there roger!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Söderling 3-0 up on Davyawndenko

4-0. Two breaks.

 

[Uppercut]

Meanwhile Safina is being taught how to play tennis. 5-1 down to Azarenka in the first set.

Jesus. Goes from dropping five games in four matches to having a breadstick on her. Can anyone say choke?

Or a ridiculously easy draw.

Anyway, back to 1-1. Söderling takes the second 6-3

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

She's also up a break in the third now.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Söderling wins 6-1 6-3 6-1.

Fair play son.

Only player except for Nadal to have dropped less than six games in a last eight match at the French.

Reckon Murray will go out today, probably in 4 sets, but you'd have to fancy Soderling to beat Gonzo and make the final.

Federer will rub his hands, then. He's 19-1 in sets against Robban.

Cibulková setting up another epic choke. Currently leading Sharapova 5-0 in the first.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Would take a choke of epic proportions considering she's up a double break in the second.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha wow staring down a double bagel. Cibulková serving at 6-0 5-0.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

It's started.

Murray not playing the way I thought he would against Gonzo. Will be interesting to see if he changes gears after losing the first set.

Btw, Soderling will not beat Gonzo IMO. Gonzo murders the ball, Davydenko doesn't. His game won't suit him.

Reckon Gonzo, if he gets up, will be very good value against Soderling.

Soderling's playing well though, fair play to the Swede.

 

[superkingdave]

1 set all in Murray-Gonzales. Murray's a good chance if it goes to 5 tbh

 

[Jono]

Gonzo takes the 3rd 6-0

Will be interesting to see what Murray has from here.

 

[Jono]

Gonzo wins, 6-3 3-6 6-0 6-4

I think you'll find, at the moment he's very Scottish, will no doubt change by Wimbledon, mind....
