New thread with BALLS.

When MNHQ remember their promise.

Something along the lines of it being a tough career choice because women should be out having fun and thinking about having babies at that age.

Wiki tells me the record for final set is 18-16 in the French Open. Oddlly enough it involved Isner, which I think I remember because it was only a few weeks before his record breaking match with Mahut.

Afternoon.

The sofa is very comfortable. But I am obsessed with the dcs not getting it dirty. it won't last

There was a party somewhere last night, and stupid blokes singing at 3am. I am tired and in a bad mood.

This match is stressing me out. At least it wasn't over in 2 games. I really do want Philipp to win but I don't think he will. They both deserve to really.

Bollocks.

I'll take it from that that Kolschreiber's just lost a service game then.

Ooer, living dangerously Ernests - one of them gals will come and batter you with their racquet.

Mark and Jim are reading this thread, or at least reading your posts Clay, they just mentioned your final set statistic.

Oh balls, Match over.

Oh. Very sad for Kohhreiber. He played brilliantly.

And the match. Was he wearing the citron shirt of doom?

Oh I love Fabrice.

Cedric Pioline really is a creepy bloke.

I think they shipped in some Murray supporters today- they were conspicuous by their absence yesterday, the crowd was definitely on Kohlshreiber's side yesterday.

Murray is indeed wearing le chemise citron de Doom- it is making him struggle, if not lose.

In that case, I'll need to correct my statistic. The record breaking match at RG was 2 years after the one at Wimbledon. I'm almost certain that Isner did have a very long 5th set at RG immediately before the Mahut match. Apparently he has/had a lot of them because his game consists of only his serve. So he almost always wins his service game but can very rarely win his opponents.

I have a (grudging) new found respect for Murray on clay. He won't win the tournament though

Yes he had his tennis ball coloured shirt on.

Rafa it's why I dislike Isner matches. Too many tie breaks. And he looks like a dull college jock

Uh oh, Ernie (I'm sure he won't mind me calling him that :)) has citrus coloured bits on his shirt - please nobody invoke the curse.

I'll invoke the curse. I want Fed to win.

Ernie and my little Dom have the same coach so spend quite a bit of time together - that's one tour bus I'd like to be on :)

Did you see Stefan then Raahh?! I keep having horrid flashbacks to things I said last night . Went to dinner at a friend's house and was complimenting her on how lovely she looked. This led on to a remark from her about how her husband never told her things like that. Which in turn led on to me delivering a lengthy monologue to him about how utterly beautiful she was and how everybody thought,so even people in the street, and did he think so cos he should etc etc. God, he'll never ask me back will he? She might though

Mmmmmm Stefan

oh dear- Ernsts has smashed a racquet.

One set all. This is a good match.

The slamtracker would be much more interesting if it said stuff like 'Ernsts smashed racquet' rather than 'Gulbis loses point with unforced error'

We could set up a new service Clay between us - I'd do commentary my way, and you cld update online scores with reference to my idiotic commentating.

That might work. We could trial it for Wimbledon.

Woah. What happened to Fed? Two long closely matched sets, then 6-2 to Gulbis in the third in about half the time it took for each of the other sets.
