I had Stan I have to admit, I know he's shite on grass but thought he'd have enough.

 

M Zvarev, Kukushkin and Gulbis in, good start, Del po should serve this out for 4 hopefully. can't wait to see which one fcks it

 

As I said bookies had a mare with Zvarev Tomic at evens, do they not know Bernard Tomic is not actually that good.

Yeah Matt,I'm old aswell so can only say pretty when they are 20!

[ScouseFox]

as soon as they put it on the tele she loses every point they play  

[StanSP]

Dolgopolov getting booed for retiring hurt. Probably out of frustration after Klizan's retirement as well. They haven't seen much tennis as usual

What is it with these Australians

Strikes me as a whiny baby, whenever the chips are down and he's out of form he pretends he can't be bothered and he's above the sport, rather than grafting to get out of the rut.

 

No backbone, same as Krygios. Sad that guys like this have all the talent in the world and you have others who work their balls off just to stay in the top 100

[Manwell Pablo]

quality result for Watson. Straight sets and bagel to boot.

 

hope Konta wins this a vekic a right petulant biatch.

Every time Petchey is in the commentary box I wonder what the point of Andrew Castle is.

Yup. Already worth tuning in for this.

[Guest MattP]

He really is something else, it's between genius and farce and I'm not sure which side it swings more to.

 

How he beat Nadal twice I'll never know

[foxes_rule1978]

Great play Murray only 1 unforced error, beautiful

He had the clay monkey running around like a c**t it was hilarious. Literally the funniest match I've ever watched.

 

Hes playing on this abit he's not normally quite so flamboyant

Yeah. For all Brown's entertainment Murray is playing really well to neutralise him from the start here.

Yeah I know I've watched enough of him over the years on bet365

 

I was supposed to watch him at Halle a few years ago but we missed the day's play after getting hammered in Bielefeld, I can't remember either of his matches against Nadal for some reason.

Murray starting to take the piss now back

 You prolly dodged a bullet there sitting in silence for 6 hours in Germany in mid June with a stinking hang over would be torture. looks a good venue though.

 

Dustins a good way to make some money during the grass court season so not surprised.

 

As I know you share my disdain for all things Rafa Nadal I'd recommend watching the Wimbledon one if you find yourself bored,  has him running from pillar to post from the word go and you can tell by the look on Nadals face throughout he is hating every single second of it.

Yeah, Murray has done damn well here to negate him when had he not been at his best he might have struggled, and now he's two sets up he can afford to relax and entertain a little.

 

You can tell Brown is loving every second of it no matter the result.

Amazed this is the only comment for that match. 3 hours of brutal tennis, they were both giving it everything, probably the best women's tennis match I have ever watched  (admittedly I don't watch that much).

 

I know Konta is a bit of a fake Brit, but credit where it is due that was some intense tennis from both players, how far do you reckon she can go in this tournament, I do worry with her recent injury and this bruising epic how much she will have in the tank for the next game.

It's a lovely place but unless Federer is playing there is no atmosphere there at all. 

 

If you spend any time in Germany Stuttgart is the tournament to go to, intimate and stunning. 

 

It's a free bar as well if you pay about 100 for a ticket, even shorts, they knew the English had turned up as soon as we were caught being sick on the unguarded practice court right before Mayer turned up with his coach, politely asked to leave after that.

People at work aren't they.

 

it was alright, littered with errors, Vekic looks like that all the time in terms of "intensity" as I said ott and petulant.

 

How far she can go is how long is a piece of string women's game all over the place ATM, different winner every slam, you've just seen that with the world no.58 and the world no.7 having a proper ding dong and that's common place these days, she could well go out next round she could well win it.

 

injury isn't a concern I don't think.

The third set of Konta vs Vekic was absolutely brilliant, clutch serving throughout. 

 

As for Murray we can safely say he is now perfectly fine.
