where r u all?? the rain isnt helpn at all nyways, some good results and some upsets already Venus had me angry althru yrst. . . glad she won eventually thou. . who do u reckon will win in the female category? i already gv d male to swrht Nadal i keep readn about Jelena being the fav as it is on clay for me im lookn real hard at that Safina chick i thnk she is also quite good im for Serena or Venus all the way thou at the moment Serena seem to be in far beta shape that said, Venus won the wimbledon even whn she didnt play top level tennis but then she has a way with wimbledon . . . . Ruddie, hey sup dudue! really been awhile abeg come ova and run commentary, itz always more fun with u guys ard sori about your he dsnt seem to be havn a good season even Federer beat him on a bad day well 4 him, dino, FOD,PDF, letz run sum commentary in here! |

Nadal is 6-5 up in the first set looks like its going to end in a tie break, Bellucci is playing some good tennis. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 8:07pm On May 28, 2008 |
viee: Barring injuries, Nadal shld wrap this up pretty well. I dont see Djokovic (his main threat) hanging on in a 5 setter on clay. viee: Jankovic? Doubt it, i dont think Safina will win either - she had a good run winning in Rome but cant see her winning here. I give it to Serena if she brings her A game. viee: Venus shld just retire. Nadal whipped Belluci 7-5, 6-3, 6-1. Great game but there are some good lefties out there now. Anyone saw Wayne Odesnick beat Canas? |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by FOD(m): 11:46am On May 30, 2008 |
Guess what! Serena, the favourite, a former champ has been ousted by 27th seeded Slovenian Katarina Srebotnik in the third round. She lost in straight sets (6-4, 6-4). Ivanovic is through to the fourth round. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 12:54pm On May 30, 2008 |
FOD, im so herat broken!! didnt see that coming at all! i thought she was improving with every game she play 4him, i dnt knw why i still think D.Safina will do well may be get to the final IMO, so far she is the only one that her dispaly has been good too bad abt her brother, expeted a game from him but after the first set he just fizzled out. . . still mourning Serena loss lets c hw it goes with Venus amd Nadal |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 2:29pm On May 30, 2008 |
Serena lost again . . . becoming a staple now eh. Venus wont go farther than the quarter finals. Marat Safin is no longer much of a threat, 28 . . . he's just playing to make some more cash and enjoy the game. Sharapova, Ivanovic now have a good chance of winning this. Nadal is just imperious!! Flogged Niemenen 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by A40(m): 6:29pm On May 30, 2008 |
I think those girls are past their prime especially my baby momma Serena.I fancy either Sharapova or Ivanovic |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 9:44pm On May 30, 2008 |
A-40: My feeling too. Venus is even worse. Its about time they quit for something else. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by dmxqo(m): 9:56pm On May 30, 2008 |
they aint getting old in the skills, their fans need them around, abi you no think so? |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by dinozzo(m): 11:12pm On May 30, 2008 |
Venus has never been that good on clay, I still think the sisters have a better shot at Wimbledon. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 6:09am On May 31, 2008 |
Grass is their last hope for redemption at this point. I dont see them beating the russian mafia on hard courts. |

Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by doyin13(m): 12:27am On Jun 02, 2008 |
I haven't been watching too much tennis lately until today that was with the Mathieu-Djokovic match and it would seem Tennis wisdom has been turned on its head. They were serving and volleying with such frequency on a clay court I don't like it. . . . . . . . .Those long rallies make the French my favourite major, and all this play at the net is anathaemic to my palate. And with back court specialists reigning supreme at Wimbledon, it would seem that grass is the new clay and vice versa. RUBBISH |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by dinozzo(m): 1:05am On Jun 02, 2008 |
lol, I understand what you mean . That means you won't like Gael Monfils's play, he relied a lot on his serves in his last game. Ana Ivanovic beat Petra Cetkovska 6-0 6-0 Jelena Jankovic is also through to the quarter finals winning in two sets. Schnyder and Navaro through the quarter finals as well. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 4:59pm On Jun 02, 2008 |
hey guys, told u'll to look out for Dinara Safina didnt i? well she just sent Sharapova home. . . . i still thnk she will get to the final here may b on grass or hardcourt she will not be this good but blimey, IMO on clay she is simply the star of the season for ME ie |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by FOD(m): 5:12pm On Jun 02, 2008 |
It shows how mentally tough she is at the moment. She was a game away from crashing out at 3-5 in the second set. I'm rooting for Jankovic all the way. My fav men's player will face Gonzo, who beat him the group stage of the Masters Cup last year in the QF. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 5:28pm On Jun 02, 2008 |
since my chics r out, im all for Safina because i think she is goin to win |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by doyin13(m): 10:18pm On Jun 02, 2008 |
Sharapova crashing out of Roland Garros is no surprise for me. I haven't seen her this year, but her foot work on the surface is shall we say not Dancing with the Stars material. Those long legs keep getting in the way of sliding towards the ball. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 9:07am On Jun 03, 2008 |
ur right Doyin guess itz expected whn she plays someone who appear more comfortable on clay im rooting for Dinara/Ivanovic final with D wining |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by A40(m): 7:06pm On Jun 03, 2008 |
I am going for Ivanovic.Those Williams sisters need some motivation lol especially my baby momma she could lose a little weight. Nadal vs Djokovic in the Semis now thats gonna be a hum-dinger |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by FOD(m): 9:06pm On Jun 04, 2008 |
My 'pretty' chic, Kuz got to the SF after easing past Kanepi. She will meet Safina, who dismissed Demtieva 4-6, 7-6, 6-0. Federer edged Gonzo 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 . He will meet Monfils who beat Ferrer 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Djokovic tries his luck against thrice defending champ, Nadal in the other SF, that would be played on Friday. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 5:50am On Jun 06, 2008 |
Way to go Dinara! I tip her to beat Ivanovic in 3 sets. The women's game is considerably weaker now without Henin, Ivanovic as number 1? C'mon. dinozzo: Monfils is a moonballer. You wont win anything by being ultra defensive, how he beat Ferrer is still a mystery. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by FOD(m): 1:59pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
Simply put, "No contest". Nadal is teaching the Djoker some clay lessons. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by lordimpaq(m): 2:53pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
well djokovic just won a set, its not going to be an easy game, its well over two hours now. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by Razorr(f): 3:07pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
Nadal (that arrogant arse) wins yet again. I wish Monfils would defeat Federer this afternoon and then whoop Nadal's ass in the final. If wishes were horses. . . |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by FOD(m): 3:08pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
@Lordy, he just won a game, u mean? Nadal just took the third set. He won the tiebreaker 7-3. Nadal awaits Federer in the final, [size=5pt]i wish[/size]. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by lordimpaq(m): 3:17pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
but we all knew it was always gonna be a nadal vs federer final, i just have a funny feeling federer is gonna win this one, he's been studying nadal, but for how long will he be playing second fiddle on clay, if federer doesn't win the french open this year he'll never win it again. except if someone goes to break nadal's leg, |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 4:22pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
Safina/Ivanovic just what i wanted the moment the Williams were sent home! me think Safina will win because she has been good but Ivanonic wasnt so bad aganist pple fav Jankovic 4 Him, Henin lost the form that made her a real threat last year she appeared to have lost the will to continue, so thou she played in AO, her presence wasnt felt, Ivanovic IMO deserves to be No 1 because she is the only player so far to reach 2 grand slam finals. . . .not bad at all this Monfils guy shld wake up jo |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by 4Him1(m): 4:27pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
Razorr: I doubt if you really know tennis beyond watching a few clips of grandslam matches. Arrogant is not a word that even Nadal-haters would use to describe him. Reserve that for Djokovic. viee: Safina will win on current form. Ivanovic will crumble to nerves again in the final, she doesnt deserve to be no. 1 IMO. Too bad for Henin, she goes into the record books as one of the best females to ever play the game. Monfils wake up? He's not that good not that his eyes are closed. |
Re: Tennis Is Interesting Again! by viee(f): 4:29pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
4 Him: lol seems d guy heard ur yabs oooo he don open one eye at least c'mon Gael!!!!!! |
