Re: The Official Tennis Thread

fuck yes tomic
fuck i regret so much going to the movies instead of watching that match. also federer says his back is fine which is great news. he looked a bit shaky today but he always improves as he gets into the tougher matches so nothing to worry about.

keen to see how murray and djokovic play tomorrow.

if tomic makes it to 4th round he will play federer. that will be a tough match for federer considering how tomic plays.

lol cmon. anyway tomic plays querrey next and then potentially karlovic. so he gets two big servers in a row. which could be a good thing for him considering he just played a 4 hour match and he would want shorter points.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Personally, Tomic's match against Querrey would take the cake.

I was working when he won against Verdasco so I would like to see him playing in the Open and compare it against his play at Kooyong.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

And Tomic keeps the good time rolling with a win against Querrey in 4 sets.

Dolgopolov up next in R3.

That will be a VERY interesting game, as they've both been described as players with an unusual style of playing. I wonder who'll win?

tomic will win imo. he hits the lines really well and he keeps the ball low, dolgopolov seems to like to hit balls on the rise so he might feel uncomfortable against bernard.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Ooft.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Tomic vs. Dolgopolov was a great match. I haven't seen the players slice the ball so much. Fed vs. Tomic will be a shorter match. 4 sets at the most. Tomic is playing mixed doubles on Saturday with Jelena Jankovic (SRB) against Ash Barty (AUS) & Ben Mitchell (AUS). Not much time to rest.
