Roland Garros / French Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[the AntiPusher]

He was unlucky with injuries and he had that famous win against Pete in Australia in 1996, but there was also an element of the himbo about Phillippoussis. He was never fully committed. There’s a funny story by Pat Cash during Mark’s Kournikova phase, to the extent that Cash says something like, if Mark wants to win matches he could start by staying out of Kournikova’s bedroom!

Kieran, Anna was really modern day Aphrodite. I spoke with her in Miami and she was a real charmer. Do you think Marat conquered that one? I have $5 on it that he did. Its probably the reason Anna never won a WTA title other than doubles because of her social life was an obvious hinderance.

Oh she was gorgeous. Is she still with the singer?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Really? Why?

I found him to be slimy and I dont like his comments when he was a commentator, never thought of him as a great player, just my thoughts, also rumors of drug use? though I dont know if they were true

Brotha.. I think at the time she was still a teenager but LORD have mercy.. Yes she is still with Enrique Iglesias with 3 kids (there's not many guys on this Earth that can compete with but maybe Safin and Shemar Moore.) so she aint going anywhere.

I would have turned Blonde for Marat Safin!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As usual going with the script we have all seen with Dimitrov, folded like a tent in the 1st set to Zverev 61

You may not been loose enough for Marat plus he was like Noah in the Bible. He liked em in pairs..

I was willing to change my ways for Marat! I wasnt going to share him with anyone, thank you

Hey Lady.. That's how my dawg Marat rolled doing those times.. Either you was gonna be part of his version of Noah's Ark or you were not going to make the journey.. jajaja

Hey I was thinking of being a nun at one time, no I wasnt going to be part of his version if Noah's Ark
Though have you seen Marat of late, age hasnt done him any favors, sad to say, I will just stay a Stunning Brunette and save money by having to turn blonde.

Etcheverry and Nishioka in a TB for the 1st set, tight 4 all

 

[kskate2]

Well, Pat was unlucky. He had Sampras on the ropes in 2000, up a set, up a double break in the second set tiebreak, and he collapsed a little. I remember watching Pete get the mini break at 5-4 and let out a roar. I let one out too. The match was over - and it was still only the second set.

You can see that sweet moment here, at 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

Oh, how I miss Pete. He was such a quiet and classy assassin.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Etcheverry wins a hell of a TB for the 1st set over Nishioka 76(8)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Dimitrov was up a break in the 2nd set over Sasha as usual he could not hold the break and Sasha won the 2nd set 64
Sasha now leads 2 sets to love
Zverev d Dimitrov 61 64 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Etcheverry on a mission in the 2nd set hands out a bagel to Nishioka, who I feel gave his all in that hell of a TB in the 1st set
Etcheverry leads 2 sets to love
Etcheverry d Niskioka 76(8) 60 61

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Etcheverry wins in straight sets 7-6(8), 6-0, 6-1.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Moxie and Don Fabio,
Looks like you were both right with Zverev he could make the SF again and defend his points from last year at RG
Though I was impressed with Etcheverry with his win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I will post this again,

Novak has the 3rd day match on Chatrier tomorrow against KK, I know Novak can save tennis Novak leads their H2H 8-1

Alcaraz has the night match against Stef tomorrow in their QF match on Chatrier Alcaraz leads H2H against Stef 4-0

 

[Jelenafan]

1-6, 4-6, 3-6
Sigh.. Dimitrov…way too much mental scar tissue from losses in the past for Gregor. No inner belief left with guy.

Who have have thunk, Zverev has a great shot to make his 2nd Slam final, the door is opening…

I don't fancy his chances of getting to the final though. He will have either of the Nordic homeboys and I don't see him besting either one.
