JMDP just absolutely obliterated Robin Soderling 6-2 6-3.

If he wasn't already, he is now officially back.

 

[morgieb]

Sod was injured

Still, I think his win at Delray Beach confirmed he was back.

 

[blahblahblah]

berdych just won first set over berlocq in a tie breaker

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I reckon he's more talented than Florian Mayer, who is sitting rank 39.

Through to the fourth round in Miami.

Cop that Jono

it's amazing what happens when you draw second-rate Spaniards on hard-courts, isn't it

 

[Jono]

Lol. Devaarman lost to Ferrer tbf.

Tsonga vs. Dologopolov was entertaining in the fact that the two most random ****s in tennis were going at it again.

Haha that's seriously harsh on Almagro.

 

[Jono]

Huge win by Fish over Del Potro.

JMDP's conditioning clearly not 100%. Could not handle the heat at all.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Haha that's seriously harsh on Almagro.

All right, Almagro's not that bad. Probably better than current-form Isner.

WTA | News | Latest News | Clijsters Fights Off Five Match Points To Win

Is this the best comeback in recent memory? At least in a best of 3 sets tennis match?

Absolutely amazing from Kim. That is the stuff of champions.

Can only think of Serena coming back against Kim in the Aust Open 03 semi-final as something that rivals that.

Kim has turned into such a mental giant since her comeback. Shame it had to be Ivanovic who lost.

 

[Jono]

Yeah she is riduclously mentally tough. Could not say the same of her pre-retirement.

But yes Kim denied us a perve-fest match involving Ana Ivanovic and Victoria Azarenka. Disappointing.

 

[morgieb]

Petkovic/Sharapova will be good for a perve fest...

 

[Jono]

Petkovic, such a cutie

 

[morgieb]

Looks like Kim's having a MASSIVE fightback against Azarenka.

 

[Jono]

Azarenka has so much talent. If she can even go close to having some sort of mental strength she can push Wozniacki and Zvonareva at the top.

Great win over Kim for her.

 

[morgieb]

Azarenka/Sharapova, probably the greatest women's final ever.

 

[Jono]

Haha awesome.

Rafa vs. Roger semi at Miami. Can't remember the last time they played a match that wasn't a final or exhibition.

Rafa vs. Roger semi at Miami. Can't remember the last time they played a match that wasn't a final or exhibition.

22 meetings, 18 finals. Amazing.

 

[Jono]

Nadal blitzing Fed-error in the first set. Roger going for too much. Way too much.
