Spaniard had his chances in that match.


he just let it slip away. bernardus decimus tomicus leads 5-3 in the 4th.


tomicus gets it done.

pretty cool stuff emma.



what the hell will they think of next?




working in a hot tub in a place of work with water proof laptops?

now that would be relaxing.

Nadal is pretty good at creating the intimidating factor by jumping up and down from the get go like a buffoon (that's for you herc darling). This being the very first round doesn't really work in Ryan's favour. He's a bit of a headcase so he needs time to feel confident. A 2nd round meeting would have been ideal for him.

First set will have to go. A 5 setter format though works in his favour since he seems to take time to come together. Nadal doesn't have too many weapons. Harrison just needs to break Nadal's forehand down somehow or keep him away from it.

This is for health and well-being purpose of course but we have another pilot project where we are having a bunch of employees working from home. That would be cool too if that got kicked off at some point. The only problem is, it's quite costly to set an employee up to the extent that he gets at work.

Hot tub...maybe not. lol

espn is really is a collection of a bunch of clueless pricks.


they wont show ryan at night and they wont show him during the day either.


instead they are showing some totally unheard of player by the name of klahn.

 

[Emma]

Nishikori out. Good Lord. I did not know that. And in straight sets too.

 

[ClayDeath]

yep. nishikori is out and so is iron mike. he too went out in straights.


tomicus should have been out but the Spaniard was in a gift giving mood today.

[ClayDeath]

tennis channel is showing the tipsy match and espn is showing the sloan stephens match.


I wonder why I even bother with espn and the tennis channel. they are both worthless.

ryan usually plays well in new York.


he will make nadal work a little bit for this anyway.

doing great today princess kskate.

just relaxing and taking in live grand slam tennis from flushing meadows.



iron mike is gone. gasquet removed him from the facilities in straights.



which matches are you keeping you eyes on today?

I'm watching them all from a distance, but I'm mostly interested in how the Americans do in the early rounds.

 

[ClayDeath]

ryan is playing well.

this is going to take some work for nadal.

 

[ClayDeath]

nadal still afraid of the damn net as always.


you have to go forward with conviction.

 

[ClayDeath]

do we have rain in the area?

umbrellas are going up.

americans did not fare well at Wimbledon.

this is their chance to make some progress.

verdasco is having a tough time with dodig in the first set.

 

[ClayDeath]

rafa in full control at the moment.

 

[ClayDeath]

ryan Harrison is now 0-20 against top 10 players.


he is going to have to spend more time on clay if he wants to be able to deal with the better players in the game.

he has a great serve. its the consistency off the ground that is missing.

 

[EnriqueIG8]

Verdasco needs to come back asap!
