woke up to see this shocking news
cant say i'm unhappy

[loveprint]

Cilic, my hero.
Nadal's also having some trouble. D:

I've missed about 3 of Roger's matches. Ugh. I didn't miss a single one last year, either. D: I'll catch his one tomorrow morning.

[symphonee.]

I am getting very concerned about nadal. I'm watching his match at the moment. Seems the first set will go to Monfils (though I'm hoping nadal will break back).

I'll be in an exam tmr morning so I'll miss fed's match T__T

edit. rafa's running around so much. hope the abdominal muscles are better today. woooot!! 3 break points! GO RAFA!!!
edit 2: yay!! he broke back!

[loveprint]

^
I haven't watched a single one of Nadal's matches! Can you believe that? I should watch this one, but I need to take a shower. I stink. xD
Hopefully it'll be a nice scoreline when I get back.
First set is a tie-break. Nice one, Rafa.

[souslesun]

WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED??!! I saw the Cilic-Murray match-up and(sorry to say), completely dismissed Marin's ability and thought it'd be an easy win for Murray... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes! HE LOSES POINTS! TAKE THAT SIMON REED!!!!!!!!!

I live in the states and only got to catch Roger's match against Greul and Robredo. Last year was good, but this year, sheesh! My schedule this year sucks TT____TT And they only replay it for me in like... 3 in the morning...

KIM CLIJSTERS!!! Saw the match today First set was AWESOME and the second was a tad shaky, but she came back strong in the end! So happy for her! Sorry to Serena fans, but I hope Kim wins and goes to the final!

Shoot... Gonzo beat Jo W. Tsonga TT______TT Er... I don't actually know how I feel about this yet though since I actually really like Gonzo. haha... But come on, it's TSONGA! You can't help but love the guy!

EDIT:
GAEL WON FIRST SET IN TB!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crapper! This guy is AWESOME. I love how he gets the crowd going! So freaking awesome! I feel bad for Rafa, but darn it! Monfils makes it hard for me to cheer against him!

[symphonee.]

^ I think we all underestimated Cilic =X

I haven't watched any of nadal's matches either - this is the first.
Damn first set is over. Monfils wins the TB. I'm taking a shower now.
My prediction for Rafa's match was that he'd be the victor winning in 4 sets. So far so good eh?

[loveprint]

^
Yes, so far the score's on your side. xD

No male American player in the QF. First time in 128 years. Ouch. But that's an amazing record.

[symphonee.]

^ wow. that's incredible.

woooot. Rafa gets the break!! Let's just hold serve from here on! I got anxious when I saw Gael come to the net since he's been getting points up there but then rafa hits the passing shot and takes the break!


edit. omfg. talk about intense rallying. monfils breaks back T___T . i'm dying. this is starting to seem like a Fed match. I'm getting so worked up, lol.

edit 2: okay. now he really needs to hold this one. FINALLY! Rafa takes the second set.

[loveprint]

I see that Rafa took the second set? Yay.

Hmm, I like Monfils, but I like Rafa more, and he really needs to get his ranking back.

[symphonee.]

^ I don't mind gael either but I want rafa to win!
rafa gets the early break!!!

edit. rafa breaks again. my prediction is looking very promising! random match stat: rafa hasn't hit a single ace yet. gael has hit 7.


rafa's on a roll~ 3rd set 6-1.



WOOT! IT'S OVER! RAFA WINS THE 4TH SET 6-3. THROUGH TO THE QUARTERS!

[souslesun]

^ LOL. I had a feeling Gael wouldn't hold up after the 2nd set :/ But damn. Those rallies they had were INTENSE to say the least. Thank you, Gael, for putting up a good fight. But hooray for Rafa! I'm assuming those "injuries-you-don't-want-to-talk-about" are a thing of the past? ^____^

Melanie tomorrow!!!!! I hope she wins! I'm not too big on Wozniacki right now because she beat one of my favorite Russians, Kuzzy TT_____TT

[loveprint]

So it's Gonzo vs Rafa.
I hate that match-up. T_T

[cecilia]

i read that rafa will get back the no 2 ranking after the us open
yayyyyyyy

[dOotsiez]

^ Rafa will get back the No 2 ranking IF he wins against Gonzo and Djokovic doesn't win.

If Djokovic wins, Djoko = No 2.

[cecilia]

omo
so if djoko wins his QF match, he will be no 2 regardless?

[loveprint]

Wait, WHAT?! Djoko to #2?
I've been living under a rock. I didn't know that at all. Ugh, that cannot happen.

[wonderbang]

My how fast the rankings bounce around. I would like to see Rafa back at two though.

Melanie has a night match...I think it's her first time too so I hope it doesn't completely overwhelm her against Wozniacki. I hope Melanie puts up a good fight tonight!

[hamster428]

is it "djoc-ko-vich" or "djo-ko-vich"? it's bothering me as i'm listening to the two commentator guys on espn right now and they each say their own version of it. i'd like to hear novak say it himself.

[loveprint]

^
I had to read that twice to see what the difference in pronunciation was. 'Djo-ko-vich' is the correct way. Like 'joe-ko-...'
I actually pronounce it 'joh-ko-vich', though. It's become a little bit of a habit.

Darrrrn it, I'm going to miss Roger's match today. I have work. T_T

[cecilia]

ooooooooooooooooo
are we going to get a swiss bagel today????????


EDIT

and it's a bagel
