The Tennis Thread 2013

I would have probably predicted a blowout if you would have told me Djokovic would out-ace Del Potro 21-3. Del Potro should be out of here just looking at the stats. Great heart from him.

[GirlySports]

This must be the end....

[fundmark19]

Broken! Can Delpo fight back one more time!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Damn, Del Potro had the break chance. Deuce now.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Sucks that had to end. No shot the next semi-final will be that good, or half as good, or even a quarter as good.

[fundmark19]

I think Delpo just became my new favorite player. Sorry Tsonga unless you Tsonga dance all the way to the finals of a major I think I have moved on

[Senator Clay Davis]

Djokovic has the physical endurance and mental strength to be almost unbeatable. I think Del Potro would love to have that third set tiebreaker back.

Tsonga was your fav up to this point? I thought I was a glutton for punishment.

Delpo has as much heart as anybody on tour. it's just hard to tell at first cause he looks so mopey.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I hope we don't get a total blowout here, and that if we do its for Janowicz, but I think Murray will win this one in straights. Another 4.5 hour match would be nice though.

[fundmark19]

Ya I liked Tsonga since I watched Aussie 2 years ago. Seeing him Vancouver sealed the deal for me. I just can't get enough on the Tsonga dance unfortunately he can be a mental case and once you rattle him he is done

That was an awesome tiebreak. Really was pulling for Delpo after that.

[nemanja2306]

IMO, Djokovic was pretty terrible today. Made way too many UE, on so many easy shots. Serve was pretty awesome to see, though.

Still, Delpo was just fantastic today. Move over, Roger.

[GirlySports]

Jerzy hanging in there. Saved 2 set points.

if he can steal this set...

[Senator Clay Davis]

Great picture

[Senator Clay Davis]

Jerzy steals that first set. Could we be in for another 5-setter after all?

Edit: Jerzy up a break again in the 3rd. Looks like we're going to get some tennis under the roof.

Jerzy imploding

[GirlySports]

wow, that 3rd set turned around in a hurry.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Murray has been the beneficiary of his last two opponents having bad collapses. He won't get the same luck against Djokovic who will not beat himself.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Murray is really pissed they are closing the roof. Not sure this break really helps Janowicz at all, just gives him time to think about how he blew a 4-1 lead.

[atb]

The play from Janowicz is what we should be seeing out of Raonic by now. Not just about the serve. Hope to see more of Janowicz in the future.

Nice moment form QF:



As much as I'd like to see Murray win in the final, Djokovic is looking too good right now.
