Ouch. Poor Tsonga's getting a thumping. Didn't expect that.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 20:11

Novak really is a class about, you are right.

It's a shame his hair has the texture of a loo brush.

I have warmed to him over the years though.

Remember that epic Saturday match he played against Baghdatis- where he got really stroppy and smashed racquets on benches. We hated him that year Grin

This is going to be another 3 setter, isn't it.

Then tomorrow I bet Rafa loses the 1st set again and we have the agony of 4 or 5 !

Is the OOP up yet ?

Raahh · 30/06/2014 20:12

A couple of years back, this would have been more of a match. Jo-Willy has really lost his way. Sad

DuPainDuVinDuFromage · 30/06/2014 20:12

Sad poor Tsonga. I'll volunteer to comfort him if he loses, I'm selfless like that Grin

Yy, Raahh. He smashed a bench V Rafa once too, at RG.

He is known here as lego-man.

No- they are keeping us waiting with the OOP.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 20:14

The conclusion may not be that far off...sadly.

Wimby starts 11:30am BBC 2. Earlier than planned.

That sounds suspiciously like Rafa has the late match, or Ct. 1 ?

Anyone seen OOP ?

What happened to Jo-Willy? Bloody football after match reports. If France had lost they'd have cut all that crap and gone back to the bloody tennis.

He's simply being out-played,
Petite. Sad

Its as if Jo sees Novak across the net and thinks "merde, I'm gonna lose".

He always seems to play really well, till he meets Novak.

Good hold !

OP posts:
Raahh · 30/06/2014 20:34

well- I need to go and do stuff. Which is unfortunate.

Maybe Jo-Willy will get some Radek-like inspiration?

Allez!

Back on BBC 2 now. Had forgotten he was against Djokovic. Psychologically that's never going to happen.

It's a real problem with French male players. The commentators here always say it. They are technically great. But they don't have the nerve to take it to the next level.

Cornet wasn't even mentioned in the news until Saturday. But last year they only started paying attention to Bartoli at the semis. :(
