I'll take the blame, haha.

Pretty brutal for sam and safarova to have to play the day after the prague final and then play each other a couple days after.

Not sure if the women's matches will be televised until the quarters.

 

[BobbyMorri]

been waiting for this

My girl, Schmieds (schmiedlova), almost, took a set of Muguruza. She was only 2 points away. But sadly, she lost again 6-2, 7-5. but if she performs like that against a bottom 50 player, then we all have hope.

Stosur got Šafářová, again. unlucky. it will be very tough to get a win, when your h2h record is 11-3 or something like that.

Dasha has a break or 2 on Svitolina. 5-1 in the first. good win first up v Watson.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Dasha wins in two sets, 6-2 7-6

 

[BobbyMorri]

doesnt get any easier on her though. she either plays Kvitova or an inform Vesnina.

Fed withdraws. Back problems.

Fed withdraws. Back problems.

He hasn't had a good run with injury or illness since the Australian Open.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

He hasn't had a good run with injury or illness since the Australian Open.

Man-flu, slipping out of a bath now hisback on the eve of the tournament....from a guy that played a huge amount of tournaments without pulling out or retiring this is suprising

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Falling apart at the seams is Roger, maybe old age (in tennis terms) catching up with him.

 

[ozgamer]

Ivanovic. Go back to modelling.

 

[ozgamer]

And even when Genie loses there are still winners

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Stosur should buy a Tatts ticket, she has progressed to the third round thanks to a walkover from Safarova!

 

[JackNah_8]

Ivanovic. Go back to modelling.

Did she lose again?

 

[Firestarter]

Seeya Bernie

 

[ozgamer]

Stepanek shocks the Popsicle. The Worm still has the moves

Bernie gone 1 and done (again) to Fabio.

Nick wins. (w/o drama?)

Delpo in a huuuuge upset over Munich runner-up, Thiem.

The February champ, Cuevas defeats Munich champ, Kohlschrieber.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Tomic in hot water again. On match point he didn't bother moving his feet to return serve...oh and he held the racquet the wrong way around to try to return with the handle.

"Needless to say Tomic’s got a long way to go to earn the respect of the tennis fraternity."

Pretty sure it's Australian tennis fraternity. With all the wackiness that goes on tour, I love how OzMedia think that the other players give a s**t about stuff like this.

 

[matt_897]

6-2, 6-4 is actually a good scoreline for Bernie against Fognini on clay. Frankly couldn't care less if he holds his racket the other way in all his matches on clay, he's that bad on the stuff

Could actually make his matches more watchable.

 

[the universal]

Tanking against Fabio Fognini of all players is truly amazing. It is a rare form of tanking.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Tomic can forget about ever aspiring to be top 10 if he cannot learn to play on clay effectively.
