Nadal is really the man to beat after surviving the match against Brands....God, i was scared at some point for him. Brands was unfortunate to have met Nadal in the early stage of the tournament and I see successful career ahead of him.

Novak and Serena all the way!!!

German Chick Fuqqing with my mind ova here........

I sincerely apologize to all my Darkskin Queens who read my timeline incognito.....

But I swear Tah Gawd this White Biitch is the Truth...

Tennis Association should allow her to Legally Juice

I don't see Serena winning on Clay Honestly.
Which planet are you on,serena has been smoking off everyone on clay this year,ask Azaranka and Sharapova,they will tell you better.
Mens Side...well we all Know.

11 years ago, that could be even more reason why she has to win this. No doubt she's got the quality to reach at least final if she really goes for it.

But its no news these tennis players, especially the successful one prioritize which grandslam they want to win..... I believe Serena will prefer winning a wimblodon to a roland gaross, just as he will prefer the US open to all of them.....

ladeski: im not so sure about Serena. shes only won 1 French open title for a reason.and that was 11 years ago !

Thorpe85: Geal Monfils, what a win.

That's got to be the first upset in the male category, fifth seed loosing to the injury prone Frenchman.
Not much is happening right now cos of rain.

i really dnt understand what is wrong with Berdych , one moment he is causing upset beating Djokovic and Tme next he is losing to a wild card entry Monfils rank 81. Not trying to take anything away from Monfils.

Not to discount Berdych's achievement but the ranking usually don't tell the whole story... Gael Monfil is no push-over in tennis and as a matter of fact, he's had a more successful run at Roland Garros than Berdych (a la 2008 semi-finalist).

Berdych also got to FO semifinal(2010), Monfils is a bundle of energy, he can cover a court faster than most people on tour but he blows hot and cold. There is a reason he could only crack top 10 once(ranked 7 in 2011). That been said he was exceptional last nite.

By more successful run at Roland Garros, I meant he has made more deeper run than Berdych..aside 2010, Berdych has never progressed beyond the 4th round as compared to Monfil who was twice Q-Finalist. His 'blowing' hot and cold has more to do with injuries than his tennis though.

great win by monfils as berdych was one of the dangerous tips for the title.

however gael plays too many 5 setters

ultimately will be his undoing

pls do not fail to add the following for reasons monfils blows 'hot and cold'

1. showboating
2. mental strength
3. killer instinct to finish off games

pls do not be deceived by the ranking, Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001. He was number 125th in the world. Also a wild card.

Monfils is talented. Also often injured, hence the ranking

Add loss of form as well when fit.

you make it sound as if shes playing against herself and no competitors are opposite the net.

statistically clay has been her worst surface, not only FO

lets see how it goes

Yohhh, Nadal has lost a ton of muscle definition in his Legs......

Definitely does not look up to par....the guy on my screen is not making it to the finals....

Clay God or Not.

His aggressive style and countless wars and epic rallies with federer ironically took more years off his career than it did to federer.

RaFa looks Ancient out here.......

I predict he will go out in the Semi Finals

Man back in the day this dude was Epic.....Pay Homage to a true Legend..
wanna bet bro?

Berdych Losing to Monfils isn't a surprise. Asides his injuries, the frenchman is a very intense player, occasional showmanship and high-risk shotmaking has been his undoing sometimes. Would be interesting to see how he fares against Gulbis in next round.

Bad day for Berdych esp when he looked like he was playing his best tennis this year, he was unlucky to have such a tricky tie in the first round.

Nice analysis by the way. The only part I disagree with is the Vika part...Vika is a threat to anyone, anyday and on any surface. Her return from injury has been pretty phenomenal. Take out Rena, she and sugarpova will win the next 10 slams

Hey Bro, seeing this late. Vika is no doubt a great player. I think she, williams and masha are 3 of the best right now. But I still maintain the clay court is her least favourite surface. Her best place in the French Open has been a quarter final place. But then again she is only 23, she is clearly a player on the up.
Re: Tennis ATP/WTA: DAVIS CUP 2013 THREAD... by mystikal(m): 6:18pm On May 28, 2013
Goffin matching Djokovic at the moment, but i am pretty sure he'll be outdone soon.
Re: Tennis ATP/WTA: DAVIS CUP 2013 THREAD... by dammybravo(m): 7:04pm On May 28, 2013
Dimitrov, Tommy haas are both through to round2.......Novak Djokovic just had first set against Goffin in tiebreak, win 6-4 in 2nd set...Match almost over for goffin
