2015 Sony Ericsson Open Thread.

Tomic won the opening set 7-6. Was up a break, then Berdych got it back. Tomic also saved a set point at 4-5, played a great tiebreak.

Up 3-0 in the 2nd as well after consolidating an early break.

Are you watching? How's he looking?

I've been watching a crap stream with ads over part of the screen, from late in the first set. Tomic playing and moving very well, constructing the points nicely and using Berdych's pace and flat strokes.

How about now?...

What stream have you been using?

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Oh Tomic. Not good. Absolutely gave up the ghost losing that second set. Very mentally soft. To lose 4 match points to the mental minion that is Berdych says something.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

While Im at it **** you to Foxsports/ESPN. Finally get 5 minutes of tv coverage of the open, then as soon as the Tomic match finishes they switch to some bullshit.

Australians.

Anyone know why Tomic go booed towards the end of the match?

Seemed to throw away a couple of points near the end

Sorry for not replying guys, I stopped watching after he was 4-0 up. Disappointing result in the end.

 

[matt_897]

Only saw what ESPN showed (they joined at match point 3 for Bernie) and well Bernie should of won it in two he continues to baffle the mind with some of his play. Berdych must of been serving awfully to be broken as many times as apparently din the first two sets.

Tomic continuing to troll life.

 

[Big Tezza]

Pity about Bernie, I thought he had that against Berdych.

And Nadal, what the *? Lucky for him the clay season is about to start, as he's likely to drop from 3 to 5 or even 6 after this tournament.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Djokovic now equal odds with Nadal to win the French.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Anyone know the American commentator on ESPN covering the matches?

 

[X_box_X]

Djokovic serving to win the third set 6-0 against Dolgopolov.

It will already be his 7th bagel of the season, from only 25 matches. That is extraordinary on the ATP.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

For Djokovic (or Joke-a-vich as that American campaigner Kevin Skinner puts it) whether he wins or loses is completely on his own racket. He is so far ahead of anybody now. The only person that can beat him is himself.

He's favourite to win the French now.

 

[X_box_X]

Yep. He is in career best form.

What a surprise that the men who possess the two best serves play in three tiebreaks.

Glad I missed this match

Isner has a 3-0 record over Raonic in head-to-head now and leads 6-1 in sets in the matches they have played. Would have thought it would be a bit closer than that.

Ah yes, match-ups. One of the beautiful things about tennis. Rock paper scissors. Not that two serve-bots flogging it out is anything close to beautiful.

At the end of the day ranking and top 10 wins is what counts. Isner fails in both departments. Milos is a rising star.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Djoker into yet another masters series semi final after Downing David Ferrer.

 

[Hamingja]

I always find the end of the big tournaments pretty boring. The only decent match up to watch is Djoker-Fed.
