French Open Tennis 2012

[haxman]

Could do without Murray hitting the net so often. That game was there for the taking.

 

[DuDe]

Yeah, I'm watching Murray too.

I've had lower back trouble in the past so can relate to what he might be going through physically and mentally.

He really didn't need to play someone like Ferrer today.

 

[DuDe]

If you're watching on Eurosport and the picture/sound has broken up, try switching to ITV 4.

 

[tototoner]

this 1st set so important now

 

[DuDe]

God Dammit Andy.

 

[DuDe]

The falling rain might be good for Andy, tbh.

 

[haxman]

FFS Murray......

 

[tototoner]

Murray has lost his serve 4 times in this match directly after breaking Ferrer, that needs to stop

 

[joey.leone]

Again that old problem of failing to consolidate the break, too many unforced errors today. Having said that Ferrer deserved the victory today, he was excellent. He will give Nadal a good game in the semi, but I think Rafa will win his 7th French Open and make history. Djokovic may have a chance if he plays in his super duracell bunny mode lol (But that probably wont be enough)

On to Queens and Wimbledon for Murray. Come on Andy!

 

[ajspurs]

Murray was so frustrating to watch today. He's really just not good enough at playing sustained offensive tennis. The likes of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer can all play long rallies that consist of them playing consistent attacking shots and players like Tsonga, Berdych and Del Potro don't always need to go so long because they hit the ball so hard and seemingly flat, producing more winners as a result.

Murray's capable of doing so but not to the same extent.

 

[joey.leone]

Well so much for Ferrer giving Nadal a close game lol

Djokovic vs Nadal, one man aiming to be the first since 1969 to hold all 4 majors at the same time. The other trying to win the French for a record 7th time. Should be pretty good then.

 

[MrWoolley]

Should be another cracking final between the pair. It's very hard to see past Nadal on clay though

 

[Mullers]

There are only two men who I think have any possibility of ever beating Nadal on clay in a French open final. One of them is obviously Djokovic, the other one is a fully fit Del Potro. If Djokovic plays any thing less than his best, he will lose. If he does win, I think for me, it is the greatest achievement in tennis, ever.

 

[Super Tottenham]

Nadal is unreal on Clay, can't see him losing this.

 

[Super Tottenham]

I'm such a jinx.

 

[Arnoldtoo]

First set to Nadal, but I think this match has a long way to go.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

This is a hell of a game. I think Nadal is going to win but some of the shots from both of them are incredible.

 

[tototoner]

Nadal has his number on clay this year, hasn't he beaten Djokovic twice on clay this season

 

[Mullers]

If Novak is going to win this he has to drastically improve is first serve.

 

[elDiablo]

Novak is his own worst enemy. The only reason he will lose to Nadal will be due to a mental one. Novak is the only player who can go toe to toe with Nadal for sheer athleticism. Im more of a Nadal fan, but i admire Novak's never say die attitude.
