Gabashvili gets the second set. Gawan Jurgen!

 

[Jono]

Horrible third set from Basha. Lost it 1-6

But he has break point in the 4th.

COME ONNNNNNNNNNN!

 

[Jono]

Man has a point here. A 70 % first serve percentage is no use if it's too weak to win points with it.

Yep definitely.

Still, if Novak and Murray could have a serve 10% better at times they'd be a ****load more competitive at times. It often goes to piss under pressure too, which is the opposite of Nadal, Del Potro and of course Fed.

 

[Jono]

Where all the Stosur fans at?

She has Henin on serve in the third. Huge moment here.

 

[Johnners]

Am here, not that I can watch though

Listening on radio.

****ing hell Sam. Lost the plot here.

 

[benchmark00]

A chance...

 

[benchmark00]

Stosur serving for the match. Get up.

 

[benchmark00]

Double fault, ffs.

40/30.

 

[_Ed_]

All over. Great win.

 

[benchmark00]

Done it. Well done Stosur. Very good win.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Fantastic result. Was obviously nervous in the first set, but played some sensational tennis in the second set. Thought she was done for with those two doubles faults, but to her credit she fought back (and was gifted a few points from horror mistakes from Henin).

Huge chance against Serena too.

 

[Jono]

Awesome win. Especially after she was up a break in the third, and gave it straight back. Looked like the old Stosur, but she managed to get her head straight again and not choke when it counted.

On ya bike Henin!

 

[Matt79]

ugh, previously have thought people were overreacting a touch with Sharapova's grunting, but watched two minutes of it tonight and changed the channel. Don't know whether she's getting worse or I've got more sensitive to it, but she can gagf....

 

[Uppercut]

Loving Bellucci here. Such belief.

 

[Jono]

Verdasco is such a dumbarse. Played himself out of any chance of winning the French by entering into too many clay court tournaments heading in.

Was spent after the 2nd set vs. Almagro.

 

[Burgey]

Stosur! You beauty, great result that.

Froffin for Fed-Soderling too.

 

[Somerset]

Fantastic win for Sam Stosur - I've been a big fan of Henin particularly since her return but pleased to see Stosur continue her impressive rise.

What the **** was the point of him playing Nice? He didn't need the points. This loss has been coming too, because he's played a couple of absolute shocker sets at Roland Garros in the first week.
