NSFG - The French Open

[Barrel of Fun]

Smashing result for Heather Watson. The first British lady to reach the second round since 1994! Blimey.

Andy Murray on tomorrow at 1000 BST.

Difficult to see past Djokovic on current form, but Nadal is the man to beat according to the bookies.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Give Watson a couple of years and she will be top 25 IMO.

Fingers crossed Murray carries the form he showed in the Rome Masters into the next couple of weeks.

No one beats Nadal over 5 sets on clay

No one beats Nadal over 5 sets on clay

on that point didnt Masters series finals used to be best of 5

if anyone can do it will deff be Djok the form he's on, he looked immense again today

Djokovic will only need three

 

[seagullondon]

apparently the balls are quicker and when its hot and dry (which is what it has been for the past weeks) it is much quicker too which will only favour djokovic, and murray also but unsure he could beat rafa in 5 sets on clay.

Novak will win it. He is in just such inspired form.

Also, i expect Tsonga to go far this year, keep an eye out for him

QF at best, maybe not even that far for Tsonga. Lacks consistency.

I think so too re Watson. It's funny, but I read a lot into the way players talk, and whenever I hear or read Keothavong or Baltacha, they always seem to be making excuses - they never sound like winners, but reading what young Heather has to say this morning, I really got the impression she'll go far in her career.

Poor show BoF. You know it is against house rules, to start a thread about a female tennis player, without a picture.

Now, I've had to go to ALL the TROUBLE of looking her up, just to find out its a 'no'.

 

[The Large One]

Oooh, I don't know...

That really is a shocking stat.

 

[Gritt23]

This was her reaction to hearing that we'd signed Will Hoskins.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Murray wins, straight sets. Onward and upward.

Didnt think he played very well though.

Didnt think he played very well though.

Only kept an eye on it, in a small window on my work PC, can't say I actually watched much. Still, he's through and he'll get better.

 

[Racek]

I think we will get a better idea of how well he is playing in the next round. First round can always be hard to play well when you dont have to.
