I just mowed the lawn.

>not wanting to watch based Karlovic on clay

>not wanting to watch future GOAT kyrgios

>tfw australian
>tfw kyrigoat isn't on till midnight
>tfw have to be up at 6
Do I do it for the GOAT?

ofc you do
kyrgios is in the shape of his life don't be a fool

the matches tend to start a lot later than scheduled so maybe sleeping early and waking up is a good option

>Sun
What foul frog magic is this

meh, he will wreck this scrub

save yourself for the later rounds

I must gain state how much I despise this fucking Adidas Zebra kit. Haven't seen them pushing a single outfit so hard during a slam again.

why is tennis so comfy to watch?

*ever

anyone have nishikori stream that doesn't suck?

>tfw your mum walks in on you masturbating just before dinner
>tfw dinner is going to be awkward as fuck now

lets go based halep

>didn't ask her if she can "give you a hand"
>still living with your mother

living alone is the life desu, just jerked off and now I'm going to order a pizza and settle in for a comfy night of tennis

halep's backhand constantly shot in the net

id say halep is a few years away from a major title

depends when serena retires really, once that happens fucking anyone could win

Brave lions Edmund and Murray. Big fake stupid American John Isner will die.

chink manlet has been broken

Nishikori vs Kuznetsov and Sock vs Brown is gonna be the two best matches of today

even with serena participating in the slams it's always possible that some other player can get the title. like vinci or kerber. women tennis really is roulette.

>like vinci
I meant pennetta. Mixed the winner up from the USOpen final 2015

only 24 got a high ceiling , hoping she dont turn into a radwanska or a wozniacki.

holy shit that nishikori winner

Which one? He is hitting a lot of them

it's possible but at the moment it happens like one slam a year

once serena goes it will be roulette at every slam

the one that decided the second to last game
damn he was down 3-1 and just closed it out

IT'S COMING HOME
IT'S COMING HOME
TENNIS' COMING HOME

Kuznetsov was playing pretty well through out, but Nishi is just too good. I can see him beating Murray in the quarters

...

Murray will crush that manlet. He gets gassed in 5 sets.

Also does anyone listen to any tennis podcasts? The tennis podcast with David Law is really fun. NCR less fun but good for women's tennis.

yeah and he's finally on the opposite side of the draw as djokovic; he's had two straight semis losses and now it will just be a finals loss

...

>Chink manlet
Beating Kyrgios Murray and Stan

Nishikori will not beat Murray on clay.

beat kyrgios twice already this year and wtf where is stan even this year
keis results are far better than stans this year
murray will be tough but could definitely go either way

>He gets gassed in 5 sets
You don't remember US open 2014, do you?
Murray is difficult if he is playing well, but that's a big if. H2H favours Murray but Nishi is good on clay. He has had lots of injury problems, when he is healthy he has much more weapons than Mury
Wawrinka vs Nishikori would be an awesome semifinal
In 2014 he beat Raonic, Stan and Djockovic at the US open
we'll have to see if Mury gets that far

based thompson

get fucked servebot

>we'll have to see if Mury gets that far
Are you fucking retarded or have you just not seen Murray's draw?

He's potentially playing Karlovic and Paire or Isner leading up to Nishikori...

And that's if Nishikori makes it past a dangerous Kyrigos or Gasquet.

which way will paire be meeming today lids?

inform world beater or idgaf

If Nishi wants to get to the final he would theoretical he needs to beat
>Kuznetsov, very hard hitter, difficult for R2
>Verdasco
>Gasquet/Kyrgios
>Mury
>Wawrinka
>Then probably Rafa or chokeabitch in the final
This is seriously really difficult draw
He was having difficulties with that elderly Czaskoslovakian gentleman. Stepanek was just 2 points away from the match at times

But yeah his draw is really easy as fuck. Isner doesn't give a fuck, Karlovic is old, Paire could be dangerous but he would surely choke from a winning position just like in Monte Carlo

why do people like nishikori? literally ferrer tier

"4 british women at roland garros this year"
Yeah it would be nice if one of them got past the first fucking round

>He was having difficulties with that elderly Czaskoslovakian gentleman. Stepanek was just 2 points away from the match at times

This happens occasionally to the top players, and 99% of the time (unless they are Nadal) the top players will win because that is what champions do.

Look at Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open earlier this year; he struggled to defeat Gilles Simon and was close to defeat at times, however he came back to win and played the best tennis I've ever seen in the following few matches.

>.weeb imageboard

>>>reddit

And one of them is an Australian too.

here's your (you)

Weebs.

verdasco looking in good form

RRRRRREEEEEEEE

It's because he plays awesome tennis you fucking slambaby. Ferrer is a grunting grinder. Nishikori takes the ball early and hits beautiful winners sort of like Nalbandian or Davydenko or Agassi

Nishi out next round.

>Nalbandian or Davydenko or Agassi
who?

Ironic because nadal is a huge Dragonball fan

delet this

He's such an autist I can't tell if this is b8

Rape everywhere

...

delet this

fuck these allez kids tßh

Anybody have a link for the brown match on acestream?

Dubai user is dead.

>Justin on Clay
Feels bad mon

>GS reminder that a young qt Hantuchova is not your gf.

2pooky3me

Thank you hungry skeleton

What do you mean?

>top 10 drone attacks
lmao

...

looking like Stan can't be bothered to turn up again

turn up for what?

mens tennis.

Dustin brown hasn't arrived yet either, are there any decent matches on?

lastwordonsports.com/2016/05/25/andy-murray-lamb-in-wolfs-clothing/

Read this article on Andy Murray

can't I'm an analphabet but you can write a tl;dr

If you like watching 37 year old gentlemen beat up Australian fuccbois you should turn on Karlovic vs Thompson

>Stan

He's not wrong. I remember watching Murray when he was much younger at the AO on outside courts and he used to absolutely hit guys off the court. His game now keeps getting remodelled to be more about grinding and waiting for errors.

spot on, jekyl and murray. He needs to draw on his traumatic dunblane/spain combo childhood.

CARN THOMOOOOOOO

Zverev - Herbert resuming

goatd.net/150664/watch-2016-french-open-court-17

The Gasquet match should go over 3 sets. Fratangelo is a good clay court player and Gasquet zones out for periods.

zvery nice stripey pjamies

>there are people in this thread not supporting Jordan Thompson right now
STOP AND DO THE RIGHT THING PLEASE.

THIS IS THE TRUE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIAN TENNIS.

Why is the 2018 GOAT getting rekt?

>future of Aussie tennis
>not the cheeky eastern european trio of Kyrgios, Kokkinakis and TOmic

Prefer Dr Ivo tbph. He's based.

herbert should have been penalized there, if you touch the ground on your opponent's side of the court then that should be the same as touching the net, zverev was right.

>eastern european
I believe the geopolitically correct term is Southern European

>2-0
>break down in the 3rd set

can Paire prove he is GOAT?

is putting your feet together in the serve better than keeping them apart?

i see a lot of players making that step to move the feet together before pushing off

m8 you don't live in EUrope now fucking do you?
