Who miss Maria here?

How do we fix this?

...

btw, nice schedule/skeptic bait in the last thread.

Go full china and manipulate the weather for propaganda purposes. Although that would mean pushing all the rain onto NL & Belgium.

Check them.

BUILD ROOF

this is by far the worst Slam

nobody is watching the matches. Nobody cares.

Weather Update: No play before 6:00pm Paris time

old broken men pls go

Nice "sport" you got here.

>4443

In Moscow, the Russian Airforce tried seeding clouds with bags of cement on June 17, 2008. One of the bags did not pulverize and went through the roof of a house

>America being insecure again
Grow up.

Was that house in France?

...

People are going to say the same about Rio

Can't wait to watch the disaster olympics this year

>Onderbroken

K bye

the worst slam was the last US open senpai

us open is a shithole

Nice

The stadiums are half empty even before all the rain started.

how is babby deformed

this is the best edtion of the best tournament of the year.

im serious

The QF matches between Murray-Gasquet & Ramos Vinolas-Wawrinka have been postponed until Wednesday.

>you now remember Cillic won it two years ago

Why even watching tennis if Federer isn't playing?

one of the worst gs winners.

...

...

Poor Nestor.

...

...

Delpo instead of Stan

I could settle for Kei, or Tsonga, or Ferrer, or Berdych, shit even Raonic. All of these guys have been 2nd tier for so long, I just figured they could not possibly blow an oppurtunity like that

But Cilic? Fuck that. Can somebody explain to me exactly how it happened? I can't remember why, but I didn't watch the 2014 US Open

Cilic and Kei beat Fed and Djok in the semis
Cilic was too tall for Kei to beat in the final

UFC 88 worth a look?

But...how did Djoko and Federer lose those matches? Why did they go down so easily

There is an old man who runs around in circles on court 3.

fug I mean the year cilic won desu

Court 1 I mean

>no Pride FC anymore

They didn't go down easy, they were beat by more inspired tennis at the time

bahrami?

Roids.

The R16 match between Svitolina and Serena has been postponed until Wednesday

>French """"weather""""

...

Aloha Snackbar

>Literally not having a roof

first time it is as rainy since 16 years desu.

Not a reason to waste money on a roof

>yfw da vide wins da rolandc up

Well said Schlomo

the goat: soon

Will it ever happen for Aga?

Another very manageable draw down the drain, she seems to crumble more under expectations rather than pressure.

She gained points on her worst surface I suppose but man. That's a soul-crushing kind of loss right there.

(official RG twitter)

Nah man, fuck this gay grand slam, fucking idiots can't provide minimum conditions for a tournament

i've read they lost 2mil due to rain, well fuck me if roof would cost something like that

FUCKING HELL, WHY DO I EVEN GIVE ARGUMENTS FOR PUTTING ROOF ON A FUCKING GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENT>?

shes a meme player with only average defense, so probably not

her entire game hinges on using her head to bullshit her way passed her opponents. usually over the course of 7 matches she will run into an opponent who can (and will) blow her off the court, or a grinder who wont make enough mistakes

the fact that shes #2 is shockingly impressive all things considered

I watched the whole thing
He almost got put out by simon in the 4th round and went godmode in the fifth set and just kept that momentum going

His serve and groundies were just not missing.

Reminder that no roof until AT LEAST 2020

That gif. Why is he doing that

...

Imagine a tennis player with a Tyson personality. Would be gold.

>Weather Update: No play before 7:00pm // Pas de matchs avant 19h. #RG16

It's over.

a rival thread theme tune;

I agree, it's easy to forget how much of a massive over-achiever she is. I'm not sure how many other players on tour are compared to all-time greats.

>usually over the course of 7 matches she will run into an opponent who can (and will) blow her off the court, or a grinder who wont make enough mistakes

Yep. But getting overpowered is one thing, all Pironkova had to do on the restart(s) was stay steady enough to win, and she knew it from the first game. She was obviously nervous herself but Aga went into her super safe play-not-to-lose style where virtually any solid hitter in the top 100 would beat her going away, as we saw today.

the

Worst

grand

Slam

McEnroe?

Save it until sunday/monday/tuesday. If it'S A Murrovic Finals and Djoko wins it is.

Williams and Kvitova are the only consistent players in the women's draw. Never expect a major from Halep, Aga, Azarenka, Sharapova, even if Williams gets eliminated.

Muguruza mite b consistent,we'll see

>Kvitova
>Double bagelled yet still lost in 3

>no Nadal or Federer
>rain
>Ramos-Vinolas in the quarterfinals

Worst Slam ever. It's a fucking joke.

Not sure I agree, Kvitova has higher highs but she's up-and-down like anyone else.

Vika will win another few if she can get out of her own way but Halep does seem to be on a similar track to Aga: can't seem to bring her best when it truly matters.

>go for a drive
>come back
>still raining

Can't they invent waterproof balls or something?
Or maybe, I don't know, build a fucking roof?

Indian Wells GS when?

Can't you pay debts?

He is child's play.

youtu.be/9KsCs2D9ZOw?t=1m33s

>Kvitova
>Grass exists

don't even try, plen

She just hasn't done anything since 2013 and whatever happened...injury?

Wha'ts the explanation for not putting roof?

>Kvitova
>consistent

>wake up early to watch tennis
>3 hour delay
>a couple matches start
>more rain

So are they gonna start playing again or what?

Tyson is so based.

No, they just announced
--Play Cancelled--

See Fucking Parisians.

>It's not even raining and they just cancelled everything

>The country of Paris

>At Wimbledon
>2 wins (2011, 2014)

What are you on about, zikanigger?

they are Le French. The French don't do anything quick and if pressured to do something they will crawl back into their hole and hide until the shitstorm blows over.

Petra?

She utterly destroyed Bouchard in 2014 with most of the media treating it as a coronation for Bouchard. She probably set Genie back years with that performance, one of the best I can ever remember seeing.

She's consistent as far as the current state of the tour goes (five straight Tour Finals I think) but it's hardly surprising when she ducks out in the first week of a Slam.

>Play has been suspended for the day due to rain.

It's ogre.
See you tomorrow lads.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

fuck you, no games today

>Official/Officiel:
>Play has been suspended for the day due to rain. // Les matchs d'aujourd'hui sont annulés à cause de la pluie. #RG16

What a great and exciting tennis day.

>tfw no refund

This is absolute bullshit.

I'm afraid this is the last time that a Slam will be held in France.

Where shall we move it to? I'll say Germany.
