Hah, play suspended for bad light.

Third set shoot-out tomorrow then.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What a crazy day. Roddick...fall.

About as crazy as Serena struggling on clay.

 

[Uppercut]

Jurgen Melzer, wag. So good to watch.

Henin is going to wipe the court with Sharapova here. Could get ugly.

were you trying to jinx henin? looks like it's working too...

Haha he fell to my boy Gabashivili though! He hasn't won two games on the trot all year prior to the French! He's now in the 4th round.

 

[_Ed_]

He's in fine form with the shouting tonight, too.

"****ing wind! I ****ing hate this place!"

My personal favourite was "**** this is a crap surface!"

Henin down a break in the fifth. Was close to being double broken, but she saved 4 brk pts.

Will be epic if she comes back from here.

 

[Jono]

Great comeback, and Henin now has break pt to lead 4-2!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Insane. She'll romp it home from here.

 

[Jono]

Henin wins. That was awesome.

From 2-0 up Sharapova didn't hold serve for the rest of the set.

 

[Dydl]

Great game, great game. Very happy to have Henin going through.

Great game, great game. Very happy to have Henin going through.

Reckon Stosur is a real sniff of knocking her off. She knows she can play alright against her, so now it comes down to conditions.

Gotta say, for a short name Sam Stosur is a real tongue twister. Cannot stop myself saying Stam Stosur.

Put your money on Soderling tonight against Cilic, and then put your winnings on Berdych against Murray.

 

[Jono]

Jurgen Melzer, wag. So good to watch.

Every time he wins I think of you actually.





Which means every time he costs me money I think of you as well

 

[Jono]

Soder up a set vs. Cilic.

Fed up 2 sets vs. his countryman Wawrinka. Wawrinka played the worst volley at 5-5 in the 2nd set tiebreak. Dominated the point up til then, and should have had set point. Instead he loses the set and smaashes the racquet like i've never seen anyone do it before.

 

[Anil]

what the hell is ginepri doing in the 2nd week of the french open? did he get lost or something?

 

[Jono]

Berdych up 2 sets to 0 vs. Murray.

God I love Berdych.

How awesome it'd be for Soderling to play Berdych in the semi. Yes I know Fed will probably beat Soderling, but you never know!

Can't count Murray out yet though. But Berdych's "easy power" is amazing to watch.

 

[Uppercut]

Murray, whiniest man. Find him so difficult to like.

 

[Jono]

His bitching about the court being slippery is piss weak. Concentrate on the match.

Can't understand. If I had the tennis talent that Murray or Novak had (defensive play, guile, movement, backhand), but had **** serves like them, I would spend every hour of every ****ing day making my serve good.

Yet these two dickwads, who should have 5 slams between them by now, only have 1.
