Gonna be a wash today and tomorrow apparently. First morning matches might finish but that's it

Look at this weather forecast kek
The open is gonna last 3 weeks or something

helo redit

Was it ever that bad at any Slam? Didn't really watch regularly before 2011-12ish

6th for annika beck has terrible boobies

Weather at RG is often shit but if the forecast is correct this year I honestly don't know how they'll manage to finish under 3 weeks.

oh god i am getting worried

i have tickets for the semis on june 2

Federer has to play against a wall in Stuttgart then.

Welp, maybe it will be 1/4 finals...

I honestly don't know how that works, surely they can't move all the season's schedule because of the weather

anika is a serious qt

...

>official french stream
>commentator talks during points
>literally can hear him mouth-breathing when he's not talking

united arab emreddit

looks like muguruza and wickmayer have both decided to stick to the usual plan and swing away

theres gonna be like no real rallies or rhythm in this match lol

id like to see mugi use her head and exploit wickmayers movement problems a bit more but that aient gonna happen and it probably wont matter

wake me up for kei/verdasco..

Raonic has a cute grunt~~

>that service game

JUST

>wta in charge of serving or intelligence

Milos is an /r9k/ robot confirmed

which match are you watching ? they usually don't do that.

>Jack Suck

...

He's a dirty match fixer

>Announcers say a Japanese teen is beating Halep
>Look her up
>Half Haitian half Japanese

Rest in peace my hopes of you being a qt

fugg halep lose.

Absolutely shocking

She might be able to pull it back, but this Osaka girl hits the ball incredibly hard when she isn't being a moron

this literal who playing Raonic is clutch af. Saved five set points

>raonic breaks martin
>serves for the set
>gets broken
>goes up 0-40 for triple set point
>martin comes back and wins the game

leafposting irl

X needs to finish before Y can start because it's on the same court

halep before karlovic
raonic before nishikori

muguruza and safarova before kyrgios
muguruza and safarova and kyrgios before wawrinka

maybe something like karlovic then kyrgios then wawrinka

The English meteo site doesn't show nowhere as bad.

The fuck is wrong with sock. He loses interest so quickly and barely tries

>FUCK

never mind he just quadruple-faulted in the tie break lmao

Yeah well, I'd rather trust the French website when it comes to French weather but I hope you're right

kek, Halep and Osaka's match looks like the Women's Dwarf Singles

if martin stays in the match mentally he still has a chance

hes clearly picking up milos serve better than most and milos is playing like 2013 servebot milos in the rallies

that was a really depressing and infuriating breaker to watch tho

looked an another site that uses which a range of data sources combined, and yours looks more accurate

swear to god if these adidas zebra kits start showing up on my club i'm gonna REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Milos has a good chance of reaching the semis tee bee aitch. Just gotta get past Jackoff Sock and Stan who he beat in the aussie open anyway.
Hoping for him vs Nick Memeios but I doubt Nick will beat Gasquet, and he definitely won't beat the chink.

next to the bad weather it's cleary the worst thing the french open spawned this year.

milos will lose to stan
nick will beat gasgay but will lose to kei
screencap this if you must

why the hell is the tennis channel showing women?

Osaka is playing.

Incidentally, Murray may have to beat all three king serve babbies to reach the finals (Karlovic, Isner and Raonic)

Verdasco may tire out the manlet so Kei could lose to Nick. Doubt it though.

Easy. 2nd best return of serve on the tour

swear to god if nishikori beats kyrgios in the 4th round of the roland garros i'm gonna REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

nick tends to lose steam or his composure towards the end and kei is extremely good at hanging in at the end so i think kei will have an edge over nick

Their last two matches were close but in five sets Kei definitely has it.
Fugg why can't Kyrgios ever have an easy slam draw.

how low can you be ranked in ATP and still be able to beat a WTA #1? i'm thinking top 80 players would btfo serena

>muh oleee xd xd xd :DDDDDDDDD

#600

So tell me about Stosur, why does she wear the glasses?

Halep- 'what shall i wear today.'

Naomi Osaka
>Born: October 16, 1997 (age 18), Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan
>October 16, 1997 (age 18)

fugg i'm doing nothing on my whole life...fml

wtf she looks older

>Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[33] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both.

>The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[35] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[36] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance." He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun."

yeah i've read that before. but serena was a kid back then. i'm thinking it'd be harder for someone ranked 203 to beat her today

That was just one fag and they were not really in their prime yet.

halep's done so murray's next, yeah?

...

Why are so many ugly people going shopping at this hour?

Could this be the first time that an aussie man and woman win the same grand slam??

indeed

yeah nah

Why do they even name all the slams in that Becker commercial. Makes it extra hilarious that RG is missing.

>expecting anything Boris does to not be 100% awkward

RIP Annika btw.

Idk man, if Djokovic somehow gets knocked out I reckon Kyrgios could meme his way to victory

>bei foodspring bekommst du alles, um nackt besser auszusehen

tip top advertising

He's a big guy.

Yes murray you beauty

murray's lobs are second to none

That fucking Boris Becker ad
>"Wimbledon.. US Open... Australian Open... I've won every title I've ever dreamed of (pls don't mention the french)"
The funniest part is they're playing it during the only slam he couldn't win

Helo tennisists, english acestream?

Murray needs to make there no point in watching this match, then we're free to drink in gasget/ kyg

kek

Cheer our boys KYRGOAT and VERDASGOAT home. We don't need French mentallets and chink manlets in the quarters.

Told you that would be rape

R.I.P. Ivo

This is the same shit like Raonic vs Djoko but both are a bit worse at what they do.

Karlovic is a better server than Raonic.
Murray is a better returner on clay than Djoko. Hmmmmm.

>Murray is a better returner on clay than Djoko

If you narrow it down to one thing maybe but Raonic got more variety in his game and I don't think that Murray is a better returner than Djoko.

>karlovic

Murray is more agressive, but Djoko more consistent. Djoko is better against average to good servers, and Murray is better against servebots and midgets

>BIG SERVIN

Is Isner's victory all but guaranteed?

Big Servin John "Big John" Isner is always guaranteed

Fuck you Stosur frumpy bitch I wanna watch kyrgios

Guaranteed exit at the Quarter-final

7-0 tiebreak

ty safarova waifu

Stosur could get bagelled now for all I care I just want them to hurry up so Kyrgios can start

PAPAPAPAPAPAPAA PAAA

OLEEEEEEEEE XDDDDDDDD

karlovic has huuuge hands

Karlovic looks like a new born deer.

hey men

...

>le fouble fault man
how many is that? 4?
