LFCMike Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Good watch that. Thought it was going to be a straight forward three setter after the first but Cilic put up a decent fight until that final set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Congrats to Fed on reaching 20. Not the best final I've seen, but not bad. I just find Cilic's whole attitude and demeanor so off putting that I really just don't enjoy his matches. Kudos to him though fighting back time and time again.

Toinho Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yes Fed! Insane! Was under massive pressure from Cilic especially in that fourth set and the first game of the last set. Great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Greatest Tennis player there ever was, hopefully he can add more to his list. This has been a good tournament in fairness, Chung vs Djokovic was edge of the seat stuff and pretty much announced Chung into contention for future Grand Slams. Kyle Edmund managed to get to a semi final with some good wins a long the way and considering the trouble Cilic gave Federer tonight losing to him was no shame.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 28, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 28, 2018 20 slams and counting. Unbelievable really. Obviously the three biggest rivals are not at it at the moment but it still says a lot about Federer that he's so comprehensively ahead of players 10-15 years younger than him still.

Machado Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Federer is close to matching his personal record of 16 consecutive matches unbeaten (2006). Needs one more win. Next up is Hyeon Chung at Indian Well's quarter-finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 10, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2018 Time to resurrect this thread. I haven't been watching much in Murray's absence but watching the French Open final right now. Nadal going for number 11 in Paris and looks too strong for Dominic Thiem of Austria who has always impressed me and continues to do so today in his first grand slam final. Rafa is just too good on this court for anyone besides prime Djokovic. Federer to return for the grass court season and some positive noises that Andy Murray will be back for Queens and Wimbledon as well. @JOSHBRFC @Machado @Eco we been keeping up with things?

Machado Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'm watching the final but haven't watched any other game of the tournament. I really like Thiem and he's looking better than I thought but not enough to beat Nadal on clay. Nadal is 95-0 on clay after winning the first set... not looking good for Thiem lol. Looking forward to the grass season as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted June 10, 2018 Watched quite a few games of the French Open this time around. Schwartzmann, who Nadal beat in the semis, looks like a decent prospect. Look forward to seeing him in the next few years. Same with Cecchinato. Rafa is the ultimate king of clay though. Unreal how good he is on that surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted July 5, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 5, 2018 @Paulh_85 you been watching? Kvitova out on Tuesday Wozniacki out yesterday . I saw her match with Makarova from when she was 5-1 down. Pulled it back to 5-5 and still lost. No shocks yet in the Men's (apart from Thiem going out through injury) and expect that to be the same today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevens (4) and Svitolina (5) both out too Did you have a bet on that request-a-bet? still looking ok isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ranking will get battered as well with all the points she was defending from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
