Amazing to think that Baghdatis has made a Wimbledon semi-final in 06. Hasn't come close to challenging here since.

Haha Verdasco, what the hell happened?

Oh dear Dellacqua.

Cost me dearly in my multi...picked 4 womens games no dramas and this cypriot prick robbed me of $400...slightly filthy.

grass...

But... but... against Fognini?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Britain doing really well here, one player left in the singles tournament after 2 days of competition...

 

[_Ed_]

Llodra's putting up a hell of a fight against Roddick.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Pretty insane stuff between Isner-Mahut. 19-19 at the moment, 100+ aces between them and seriously neither guy looks like breaking.

 

[Jarquis]

One break point in a 39 game set

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

One break point in a 39 game set

Pretty sure that was match point for Isner, too.

Since then he's just been going through the motions. Offering nothing.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Grass court tennis

Mahut serving 52 aces?!!?! well, i suppose he's a bit of a grass court nut too

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Haha 23-all now.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Pretty sure Venus Williams started and finished her match in this set.

 

[ripper868]

De Bakker and Giraldo at 11-11 as well

26-25 at the moment...****.

EDIT 26 all

Isner and Mahut not having a dig when receivng by the look...stats showing they've won 18% of receiving points each...surely they both aren't that good a servers?

29-28...both guysjust held to love..

This is just a ridiculous serving display. This third set is around 3.5 hours!

Ending play at the end of the 4th set yesterday has allowed them to have plenty of energy in this one set.

I love all tennis surfaces, but this is when clay court tennis can be so much better. You can't just win 31 games solely on the back of your serve.

I would love to see a rally you bastards.

 

[Jono]

Oh and my boy Gabashvili has become a gun!

Yeah, I've been watching for 3/4 of an hour or so and I honestly haven't seen a "rally" longer than five shots yet. Ridiculous, and so, like, not entertaining.

Oh and before someone quotes my posts from last year after the Roger vs. Roddick final, which I defended strongly... that had rallies and was edge of your seat stuff. Not even a comparison.

I am still very much against tie-breaks in fifth sets of Grand Slams. Not every epic 5th set is as boring as this ****.

I mean Fox Sports just changed away from the match to show Groth play!
