hello~~
 

FedXpress supporter since '04 here~~ 

[Vaelin]

here 4 murray. i'm over the same 3 people winning everything. at least now its 3 instead of 2 like its been the past 7 years

That's great, I was thrilled he beat Djokovic at the US open.

 

Not so happy he beat Federer at the olympics though -_-

 

overall I usually root against Murray when he plays the likes of Federer/Nadal/Del Potro but he definitely deserved a grand slam!

I also like Federer! tough result today in Rome.

 

 

 

I am not a big fan of Djokovic...

But I also like Nadal and Del Potro alot.

 

 

I am not a big fan of Djokovic...

LoL..me neither!!!

 

i thought it was Nadal i'll be less interested in..looks like Djokovic beat him there..

 

and wow!!!..but then, it was against Nadal..i support Nadal's growth! he really is Federer's worth opponent

[Vaelin]

Roland Garros qualies are underway.. can't wait for the tournament to start

[abel]

Oh, didn't even know there was a thread about this.

 

 

I'm a pretty big tennis fan. I'm mostly WTA, but I also like some ATP playes like Dimitrov, Nishikori, Nadal, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

& since I'm here, Murray has officially pulled out of RG due to a back problem.

WTA rocks!

 

I don't really like Murray but that is sad for him.. Hope he'll be healthy to compete defending his Wimbledon final and US open win.

 

 

 

I'm very happy Zheng Jie def. Wozniacki

I actually really like Wozniacki though. :(

Y'know, back when she was still good. Her game has been deterioration for years now. It's sad really.

 

I'm a fan of Zheng too, so it's alright.

 

 

 

 

Not a big fan of Murray either. He's a good player, but his personality is just.. .___.

 

Who are you picking to win French Open? Who do you want to win?

I understand if you're a fan of Wozniacki it is tough to watch her now. She hasn't won a match in the clay season. :/

I'm not a fan of her( guess we can't agree about ALL players ) but it's getting to the point where even I start to feel sorry for her...

She really needs to play her defensive game and be aggresive with her BH when she can. but right now she just makes alot of Unforced errors. she seems confused with what to do.

 

I don't like Murray and Djokovic.

 

I really hope Nadal wins Roland Garros, and I'd also bet on him. but Djokovic is dangerous since he beat Nadal in Monte Carlo...

 

For ladies I'd love Na Li or Jankovic to win. But I think Serena/Sharapova/Azarenka are the favourites.

[Vaelin]

For women's doubles I'm rooting for Zhang/Zheng and Peng/Hsieh (they won Rome )

 

Otherwise maybe Mattek/Mirza and Petrova/Srebotnik.

[abel]

I would LOVE to see Li win RG again. It'd basically be a replica of 2011 where she made the final of AO then later won RG.

I don't really see Azarenka as a favorite for RG. She's up there, but not in the tier of Serena and Maria. If we were still on hard courts, it'd be a different story. However, Maria is honestly just useless against Serena. Serena is perfectly fine with Maria's power and serve which pretty much eliminates all of Maria's advantages. Maria, on the other hand, still struggles with Serena's serve, but really now. Who doesn't? I don't understand why they don't use the Nadal tactic and stand farther behind the baseline when returning serve.

 

Serena is pretty much set on winning RG again, but she looked that way last year too... before she fucked up against Razzano. She's still crazy in the head so there's a possibility of that reoccurring.

 

 

 

I want some random person to win on the ATP side. So tired of the same 3 or 4.

 

 

 

 

I don't watch much doubles, but I love Bethanie so seeing her win another grand slam doubles title would be great.

I think Robson will win

[abel]

I think Robson will win

Yup, most likely.

However, she's VERY erratic so who knows what version of Robson will show up lol.

 

Atleast Caro has plans on getting a full-time coach. BYE PIOTR.

But then again, Caro got to number one and played some of her best tennis WITH Piotr so who knows what this will lead to..

Congrats on the Wozniacki win

 

For some reason she looked very young again and cute, like she was a up and coming player again.

Especially because many peopled expected Robson to win.

Wozniacki was playing unexpectedly well having not won a match this clay season. some gorgeous backhands.

Thanks! Haha.

 

Yeah, she looks super young with her dress. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad.

 

 

 

The wrong version of Robson showed up and Caro took full advantage. She was hitting fairly deep and hard all throughout the match. Her defense was great today- compared to how it's been lately. Not nearly as good as her best, but it's a step in the right direction.

Btw, I think I found you on TF haha. Same avatar and everything.

[Vaelin]

I hope Nadal wins this tournament.

[Vaelin]

Govortsova wasting 2 MP's at 5-3 and losing 5-7 in the 3rd to Bartoli :sad:

[SaiELF15]

I'm glad he won after losing the first set!

I hope Nadal wins this tournament.
