RG Day Five: So … Bye, Then.

Posted by gauloises1 on May 28, 2010

I feel a bit like I did recently when I ran into my ex at a party, went out of my way to be friendly and nice, took it well when dismissed me with a promise of finding me for a chat later, only for him to leave without bothering to say goodbye. Well, screw you then.

Sorry. My stuff. What I meant to say is that we’ve unceremoniously lost some of the top ladies without me even having time to really get to grips with the fact that they were there.

Yaroslava Shvedova added another big Slam scalp to her resumee, echoing her defeat of JJ at last year’s US Open by taking out Agnieszka Radwanska in straights. And in an eerie echo of that day when JJ and Licky lost to Shvedova and Rodionova within literally seconds of each other … Vera Zvonareva lost to Anastasia Rodionova.

Whatever.

Alisa Kleybanova, meanwhile, had a crushing 63 60 win over Ana Ivanovic. Frankly I blinked and missed it, but it seems to have been a day to forget for the pumping one.

On you go, Kleybs.

RG Day Five: Instant Karma

Posted by gauloises1 on May 28, 2010

The interrupted match between Gael Monfils and Fabio Fognini was finally resumed late yesterday afternoon at 5-5. Six games later, this happened.

I don’t, for the record, quite go along with a lot of the anger I’ve heard towards Monfils in the last few days – he isn’t, after all, responsible for the reprehensible behaviour of the Roland Garros crowd, or the decisions of the tournament referee.

He is, however, a bit of a plonker at times. If only because this match should have been won in straight sets, and it should have been won on Wednesday.

Anyway, well done to Fabs Fognini, or ‘Ming the Merciless’ as I like to think of him, for holding his nerve in an exceptionally hostile environment. Stanislas Wawrinka next for the fighting Italian.

RG Day Five: Boo, You Whore

Posted by gauloises1 on May 28, 2010

Have a collection of faces which really sum the experience of Thursday at Roland Garros. Or at least trying to watch it during one’s rather narrow tennis-watching window.

All these sad puppies and a few more had matches called off for lack of light after waiting forever to get on to court. As a consequence, today’s OOP and the weekend schedule is likely to be a nuts.

Speaking of nuts …

Despite multiple rain delays, Andy Murray managed to finish his Wednesday-started match against Juan Ignacio Chela, winning in four, 62 67(5) 63 62. I didn’t see how he played and honestly I don’t really care. He’s through and that’s a cause for celebration.

Right?

No rest for the grumpy, though; he should be back about 2 this afternoon against Marcos Baghdatis. Dangerous days.

Incidentally, I’ve stopped shouting out to Steve Tignor until he stops describing Marin as ‘solid’ (we’re locked in a battle of wills, although he may not know it). But I absolutely love what he wrote about watching Murray yesterday. He not only makes an excellent point about the underrated physicality and power of Murray’s game, but I think he’s really insightful regarding the mental gymnastics that an essentially negative person has to go through in order to make themselves approach a match positively. I liked it, anyway. (But Marin is still NOT solid.)

RG Day Four: Some Stuff

Posted by gauloises1 on May 27, 2010

Lovely Andrea Petkovic led by a set, 5-4 and 40-0 against Svetlana Kuznetsova.

She lost.

Robin dropped just two games to Taylor Dent and looks to be on awesome form (oh please, let that be true!)

Aravane literally doesn’t know the meaning of backing off, and it’s working for her as she survived a tough challenge from Angelique Kerber.

This guy’s playing. In case you didn’t know.

This girl’s playing. In case you care.

Marin is into the third round after playing a mere seven sets. Weird.

The more I have to listen to male journalists snigger and judge about Venus’ dress, the more I love it. Sod them all, she looks amazing.

Say hello to Julian Reister. Before this tournament, he’d played three ATP matches in his career and lost them all. Now he’s beaten Feliciano Lopez and Olivier Rochus and he’s in the third round of Roland Garros. And stuff like this is why I love Slams.

Jo meanwhile put in a beatdown on good buddy Josselin Ouanna …

… and Flavia did the same for Roberta Vinci.

RG Day Four: Por IRTTY

Posted by gauloises1 on May 26, 2010

So NB’s official second third fourth favourite Argentine, Leonardo Mayer a.k.a Horseface, had an excellent win today over Julien Benneteau, 67(4) 63 64 64, to progress to the third round where he’ll face Marin Cilic. I feel it’s only right to mark the occasion with a small picspam in honour of IRTTY, Horseface’s biggest fan …

Fear him, world.

The sadness of the Lamb.

RG Day Four: ‘ella, ‘ella, ‘ella

Posted by gauloises1 on May 26, 2010

Lots of this sort of thing in Paris today …

But hey, the weather here was beautiful.

The various rain delays held off Elena Dementieva’s match against Anabel Medina Garrigues until tomorrow, and John Isner’s match against Marco Chiudinelli, Marcos Baghdatis’ match against Marcel Granollers, and Andy Murray’s match against Juan Ignacio Chela were all called off for lack of light. Which is a shame, because I thought Andy was playing really well. He was also yelling at himself a lot but in a very focussed way. These are Good Signs.

Keep it going, Mandy.

But the grand prize for drama, nonsense and all-around coitus interruptus goes to Gael Monfils’ match against Fabio Fognini, which was called off at 5-5 in the fifth, the last two games being played in approximately these conditions:

The entire match was crazy. La Monf was leading by two sets to love, then by two breaks in the fourth after Fognini nicked the third, then was 0-3 down before fighting his way back to 4-4, at which point the tournament referee entered the fray indicating that play should be suspended for lack of light. Which, you know, it should. Monfils basically refused to stop and the crowd were naturally howling for more, so play continued after a good five or ten minutes of Fognini displaying his range of facial expressions (which eventually earned him a point penalty courtesy of Carlos Bernardes.)

It was utterly ridiculous, not least from Monfils, who may have wanted to preserve some momentum but had entirely lost it by the time play actually continued, when he saved three match points and started cramping before finally holding for 5-5. The crowd, meanwhile, were vociferously booing Fognini every time he won a point. An utter clusterfuck, and while not much can be done about the laws of nature which immutably decree that the sun sets and that the Roland Garros crowd will be gleefully vicious at every opportunity, the tournament referee who made the decision to play on should be fired, immediately.

Indeed.
