Cincinnati 2014: Western and Southern open

[Front242]

Was checking live scores earlier and that was some bizarre Kvitova style scoreline between Wawrinka and Cilic. What the hell happened to Cilic in sets 2 and 3?! 3-6 6-0 6-1?!

Unbelievable. Multiple double faults in a game and that too when serving for the match by Milos.

Didn't watch it. Don't know.

Steve Johnson lead 6-5 in the final set. Raonic need to hold to get to TB. Raonic lost the
last service game while serving for the match.

 

[Front242]

Come on Johnson.

 

[Front242]

Bummer, Raonic wins

 

[GameSetAndMath]

That is terrible; After being a break up, Steve misfires on two easy shots due to nerves.
Finally, Milos wins the TB and the match.

 

[Front242]

30 aces to 4 and he only wins it in a 3rd set TB.

BTW, that is not Kvitova like score. Her winning score would be something like
6-1, 0-6, 6-1. There won't be two dominating consecutive sets for the winner.

What a bottle job by Johnson in that tie break....

True actually but every set was a blowout in the whole match. Same in many of hers.

Is the Phederer/Monphils match gonna be televised? I checked my TV guide and it isn't listed on any of the ESPN channels, the major US networks, or Tennis Channel. Anybody know?

 

[Murat B.]

Haychew, here in Canada it is on Sportsnet 1. I don't know if they show it online or not. Might be worth checking if you cannot find anything else.

In USA, it won't be on TV. However, it will be available on ESPN3 on your computer screen.
If you are one of those who can wait (I don't enjoy watching non-live events, except
when I do it for a specific purpose), an encore presentation of the match is available at
11 PM on ESPN2.

Thanks, Murat and GSM!

 

[Murat B.]

I am not sure if I heard it correctly but but here is how the conversation went at the net between the person and Roger. The person, by the way, is one of those guys they bring down for the coin toss and some pics:

Roger- Are you from around here?
Person, Yeah, I am the Mayor !

Roger lifts his hands , sort of apologetic ....


Funny.

 

[Riotbeard]

Yeah there is little league baseball to be shown on Espn.

 

[Murat B.]

Roger blows right of the bat and gets broken. Maybe I should not even bother with this one...

I reckon he'll lose for sure. Can't watch it 'cos I have to get up at 4:20am and it's closing in on 12:25. Monfils is a tricky opponent with a big serve and will eat up the error spewing Roger of yesterday.

 

[Front242]

I'd say Murray will win Cincy. Just a hunch. Will miss the end of the tournament so hope everyone enjoys the rest of it.
