2010 Tennis Thread (Grand Slams, ATP World Tour, Davis Cup)

definitely NOT.

I mean, he's already 23 (same as Rafa and Nole, older than Delpo...) and he has ONLY 2 titles. That is unaceptable for someone that want to win a major.

He has no grand slam finals and only 1 in Masters 1000. Hell, he only has 1 grand slam SF.

Also, he's mentally weak. I remember last year the R16 US Open: Monfils won the first set in an spectacular tie-break, got the momentum, and then, he cracked 3-1-3. And Rafa had abs problems at that time...
Something like it in 2008 Roland Garros SF against Roger: he won the 2nd set, but then cracked down.
And above all: he has lost 7 of his 9 career finals! what does that tell you ??? oponents too good? let's see: Monaco, Petzschner, Almagro... hmmmm

so, to all of you Monfils fans out there: he's tough and all, but he won't be remembered as a great one

:2 cents:

And correct me if I'm wrong, but he has a terrible record against Roddick.

Huh, saw a little bit of that Jankovic/(I forgot her name, she's from Estonia) match, and wow...no moaning and groaning, that was a nice surprise. But in the end it's still women's tennis, which means totally obsolete.

Roddick 3 - 4 Monfils

let's see other notable ones:

Djokovic 4 - 0 Monfils
Federer 5 - 0 Monfils
Nadal 6 - 1 Monfils

not too good, right ?

Tell me about it. That grunting stuff gets out of control with the women, and even the men sometimes get annoying.

I thought Roddick had a better record against him. Well, at least France has Tsonga. :tongue:

 

[lechepicha]

Federer motors into last 16

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12110_6176717,00.html

no surprises there. Now, against (probably) Wawrinka, shouldn't be that easy... but Roger should prevail anyway.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Mardy Fish got crazy solid groundstrokes. Dude is such a 5 set player as well. seems like he is always in a long battle in some major. He could be a sleeper to get deep into the French if he pulls this one out against Ljubicic.

yeah.

but sadly for the north-americans, he just lose 10-8 in the fifth.
damn! 4 hours and 40 minutes!!!

good for Mardy. and good for Ivan as well. Now he will face brazilian hope Bellucci. That's a good match to watch

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Damn, Mardy. That one is gonna sting for a while. Those long ones hurt the most.

Cibulkova looking thick as hell out there today. Damn, what sexy legs and fine round ass...:banana:

 

[lechepicha]

Defending Champion, Kuznetsova, lost in 3rd round of Roland Garros against Maria Kirilenko.

No surprises there, 'cause Kuzzie was playing horrible for a long time now, and Maria is in the rising tide...

Cibulkova looking thick as hell out there today. Damn, what sexy legs and fine round ass...:banana:

yeah. look her legs and ass here:

She does have a ring on her finger doesn't she? I'll just have to keep my hopes on Wozniacki or Lisicki.

Looking fine as all freakin' hell:

Federer Joins 700 Match Wins Club

http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Te...d-Garros-Friday-Federer-Wins-700th-Match.aspx

World No. 1 Roger Federer became the 10th player in the Open Era to record at least 700 tour-level match wins



good for Roger (and for us for having the priviledge of watching him!)

against Reister, he did not face a break point!!! :eek: DAMN! :eek: talk about dominance...

 

[titsrock]

^
You want to see dominance. Wait until Nadal punishes Hewitt...

That will be ugly. Nadal is playing on another level right now from everyone else....:bowdown::thefinger

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Com'ooooooooooooooon Ginepri. Last Yanker standing.

Roddick's wife shows up yesterday and he puts up a big bomb. Must've had a wild night last night when she got into town. Must have banged her for 2 hours straight as bad as he played today. Don't mix business w/pleasure. That sex can be a drainer...

 

[Lungzyn]

Ferrer and Ferrero out on the same day, suprising huh?
Some people thought Ferrer could win the tournament, but he lost in straight sets :hammer:
There are as many Americans left as Frenchmen now, only Tsonga remains with Ginepri.
Quite a few French players lost to players ranked below them, no home court advantage here :dunno:

I think for this round...
Federer def. Wawrinka - obvy
Soderling def. Cilic - The Sod is playing pretty well, Cilic aint great on clay yet
Murray def. Berdych - I guess, not sure. He should probably win though
Tsonga def. Youzhny - Tsonga hasnt been consistent but can still win
Melzer def. Gabashvili - First time past the 2nd round in a GS for Gabashvili, end of the road now though :angels:
Djokovic def. Ginepri - He should win, although you cant depend on Novak much :helpme:
Verdasco def. Almagro - Verdasco cant beat higher ranked players, but he can beat lower ranked ones :thumbsup:
Nadal def. Belluci - obvy
