Fog victory in Chile. Now a Mayer rematch. 20-1 on clay since '13 French.

 

[Sinner]

I do need to get a Wilson Pro Staff 6.0 85 in my bag. Just to mess around with.

You know, I regret not buying this when they were around... woulda been a nice collectors piece... and like you said... just to mess around with.  WAY too heavy and too small of a head-size for me though! 

DAMN.

Fog rolling past Robredo. Honestly thought Fabio was going to lose the match against Mayer in the second round when he dropped the first set tiebreaker.

 

[Sinner]

He's into his 5 straight clay-court final or something?  Finally getting his act together and living up to his potential?

Jose Perlas. Prince of Clay. Fog is like 20 of his last 21 clay matches. Hitting bigger on the forehand. Hope Fabio beats Ferrer if he advances past Almagro.

 

[Sinner]

Fer wins 4 & 3... good run by Fog though...

Man, I'd be shanking like no other with a 6.0 85. lol. but that 1% of the time I connect, I'm sure it will feel like a dream.


On another note. This dude Kei Nishikori has my attention now. I see you NIshikori. Banzai!

How did I not know Simona Halep had that rack? By the time I noticed she had already downsized lol.

 

[Sinner]

 it was a reasonably big story at the time.  

She was awesome in the final though.  Hope she can back-up her impressive '13 season. 

 

[Sinner]

Rafa and his Popeye-forearm is back! 

 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

That shirt is pretty dope.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Venus won a tournament. I don't believe it.

 

[Sinner]

Indeed.  Don't think the old  girl ever "lost" her game... just the illness and injuries, which is a damn shame. 

 

[aepps20]

Proud of Vee for getting a win. SP is right about her game and the injuries

 

[Sinner]

Spot-on.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Venus and Fed won Dubai. Felt like time machine tennis. I need Roger to quit waiting until he gets down a set to come to the net. It's almost like he uses it as a last resort.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Anybody watching this Novak vs Murray exhibition at the Garden?

 

[aepps20]

Good stuff

 

[Sinner]

Watched the Li Na - Stosur, Berd - Hewitt, Cash - Lendl & Agassi - Sampras matches.  

Great to see Andre & Pete slug it out again all these years later.

 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Anyone know where I can find a replay of that match?

nvm. found it.

 

[Sinner]

Anyone speak German?
