I'd like to be her gynæcologist.

Sharapova takes the second set 6-4 to take the match to a decider. Much better from her that set although she still doesn't look entirely comfortable.

Good to see Jankovic make it so far

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #204 on:** June 5, 2013, 03:11:33 pm »

Sharapova wins it! 0-6, 6-4, 6-3. She had to dig really deep to win that one, very impressive stuff.

Quaid · « **Reply #205 on:** June 5, 2013, 03:17:03 pm »

6-0 down in the first set thought this one was going to be over in an hour! Great fightback from Sharapova.

As expected Nadal vs Djokovic in the de facto final...

Think Rafa is the slight favourite here but it's gonna be tight

Anfield Ed · « **Reply #207 on:** June 5, 2013, 09:40:44 pm »

Djokovic will wipe the floor with Nadal. At this moment.

Virna · « **Reply #208 on:** June 5, 2013, 10:40:53 pm »

Rafa is winning it!

Not so sure about that, Nadal started this tournament slowly but has been finding his form in his last couple of matches. He was magnificent against Wawrinka today.

I can't wait for it.

I'm sitting firmly on the fence with this one, it's a shame it's not the final.

Though i am looking forward to the Ferrer-Tsonga match too. I'd like too see Tsonga win that one but it's another tough one to call.

Tomorrow on Chatrier: 1pm local Nadal v. Djokovic f/b Ferrer v Tsonga

Surprised to see the Nadal/Djokovic match on first. At least now there's no chance of it getting delayed because of bad light.

serena is basically just like o'sullivan in snooker. even if she hardly plays for a year, when she comes back and plays at her best she's still so far ahead of the rest it's embarrassing.

Going into a third set between Azarenka and Sharapova for the right to lose to Serena

Redshadow · « **Reply #214 on:** June 6, 2013, 04:11:42 pm »

If only Sharapova spent a lot of her time concentrating on tennis and less on fashion as she does now, she could have won more Slams

Redshadow · « **Reply #215 on:** June 6, 2013, 04:25:18 pm »

The 'cat fight' is getting more interesting now ...

frag · « **Reply #216 on:** June 6, 2013, 04:35:13 pm »

Really poor standard really, neither playing their best. Seems to be about who loses the point rather than who wins it.

frag · « **Reply #217 on:** June 6, 2013, 04:36:16 pm »

Also Azarenka and that fella from LMFAO must be the strangest 'famous' couple i've seen.

I think thats unfair, she has had a lot of lengthy spells out with injury which have made it more difficult for her.

Nadal and Djokovic about to start. This is going to be good.

We could potentially have two 5-setters.

first set nadal 6-4

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #229 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:06:36 pm »

Nadal takes the first set! Just the one break needed, 6-4, Nadal looks like hes back to his best.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #230 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:07:09 pm »

Go on Rafa!

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #231 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:30:56 pm »

Nadal moves a break ahead now in the second set, only needed the one break point.

Djokovic yet to have a single break point in the match, Nadal is playing some sublime stuff.

Quaid · « **Reply #232 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:40:23 pm »

Well, Novak has finally got a grip of himself! Game on.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #233 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:50:50 pm »

Wow! Djokovic has won 3 games in a row now to move a break ahead in the 2nd set. Momentum has well and truly shifted.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #234 on:** June 7, 2013, 01:50:59 pm »

unbelievable competitor djokovic is

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #235 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:12:13 pm »

Nadal breaks at the start of the third. ITV are talking as if Djokovic may have a slight niggle so we'll see how that one develops.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #236 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:13:52 pm »

I start watching the match and Nadal doesn't win a single point, as soon as I stop watching he is up 2-0.

nadeeer · « **Reply #237 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:17:40 pm »

Can't believe I'm missing this game! Sometimes work is really a kick in the bollocks. Painful having to follow the score on BBC which only refreshes every game rather than point.

LiverLuke · « **Reply #238 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:19:09 pm »

djokovic doesn't look bothered in this set

Bob Loblaw · « **Reply #239 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:19:28 pm »

Why bother with hawk eye if they aren't going to use it?
