The Tennis Thread 2014

Bummer for Milos, but he can start to rest. He's had an insanely busy year.

[Senator Clay Davis]

King Roger took Murray to the woodshed yesterday, 6-0, 6-1. Probably gave him a sympathy game too to avoid the double bagel. Just give us the Djokovic/Federer final and let's hope its a classic.

[Mango]

Amazing match between the Swiss teammates right now. Incredible stuff.

[Inglewood Jack]

The feed cut out at 6 all in the tiebreaker. Sportsnet is no good.

Feeling bad for Federer. Tough luck for him. Kudos to Joker though.

[GirlySports]

Its silly to get Murray to play an exhibition.

Should be Becker vs Edberg

[Inglewood Jack]

Yikes, need some miracle healing juice to get ready for Davis. Have they invented bacta tanks yet?

The international feed ran out of time. It was all over twitter

[GirlySports]

they're getting ready in Lille!



Federer says he's still questionable.

But we all know there's no way he's not playing.

[GirlySports]

All matches on Sportsnet ONE.

Friday 6am
Tsonga vs Wawrinka
Monfils vs Federer

Saturday 7:30am

[GirlySports]

Wawrinka wins easily. 1-0 Suisse

[GirlySports]

Monfils destroys Federer.

1-1

[Inglewood Jack]

Stan to the rescue once again! Fed was stiff but managed not to be a liabllility. Team Suisse gets two cracks at the trophy tomorrow.

Such a fascinating matchup between top end talent and 4 line depth.

[GirlySports]

Gasquet playing doubles was a disaster.

[Mango]

Congrats to the Swiss. You can really tell how much this meant to Federer.

[GirlySports]

and how much it didn't mean to the French. I mean GASQUET? In a big event in front of 27000? Talk about deer in headlights.

[Inglewood Jack]

The official word on Tsonga was an arm (upper body?) injury, but there's speculation that he just didn't want the pressure. Geez that better not be true, you can't get much lower on grit scale if so.

A happy ending for Fed that seemed unlikely just a week ago, but how bout that Stan guy? Start 2014 with an Aussie trophy, end with the DC chalice. Not even Mirka aka Swiss Yoko could bust these boys up.

Saviano, who has coached Bouchard for the last eight years, gave no reason for the split in the release.
