Miami

[Murat B.]

Pretty clean game from Roger, though he did not need to do much. That backhand winner off of the De Bakker smash was really neat. Solid arm there.

 

[Front242]

^ Yeah, that was a great shot.

 

[Murat B.]

What an awesome backhand from Gasquet. Single hander is not going away baby.

By the way, I tried really hard , watched older matches, read older articles, and was not able to find any talk of the single handed backhand being a problem up until Nadal-Roger match up...Nobody looked at JMac's, Lndl's or Edberg's or Pete's or Rafter's backhand and saw a disadvantage. I guess Nadal's RPM on the forehand cross court changed the conversation.

Fed making light work of Bakker this will soon be over.

Watch him play while you can folks, a few years down the road, we won't have the pleasure.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

he's a clean machine.

 

[Murat B.]

Kei and Grigor playing a first set TB. Grigor had set point. Now he double faults to start the proceedings...

 

[Moxie]

Nishikori had an impressive serving game for that hold to get to 6-6.

 

[Murat B.]

Horrible TB from Grigor so far...0-5.

Dimi w/ a different wardrobe color, but the same results = terrible workout gear. Kei up 5-0 in the TB. Dimi is falling apart

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

1-6 the comeback is ON.

 

[kskate2]

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

MAybe not....:nono

that's got to be one of the worst tiebreaks of alltime in the total history of global tennis.

Outfit I like better…I get the attempt at Brooklyn-hipster for his age. But he fell apart when he didn't take the set 7-5. That's old Dimitrov.

 

[Riotbeard]

Come on Kei!

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

palm trees swaying to and fro in the corner..innit lovely.

I guess Nike is trying to give him a signature look like they did W/ Nadal's pirate pants.

 

[Riotbeard]

Jeez Grigor is turning into a likeable character. Reverse trajectory of Raonic.

I actually like Grigor's outfit, sorry kskate2.
What I did not like, how he played that TB

 

[Moxie]

That was very gallant from Dimitrov.
