i was thinking 'hey he's pretty good looking' and was thrilled to read he had got some modelling work

the neck brace screams "milking this for as much as possible"

Its embarrassing stuff. At least Dokic looked like she was an okay chick. The Tomic father and son double team is fairly brutal.

Some crazy parents in tennis - Tomic, Dokic, Graf, Pierce, Williams, etc etc etc

Probably publicized more because of the money that they make but it's hard to think of a sport with more whackos

Djokovic beaten by Grigor Dimitrov in Madrid. Murray through in two tie breaks.

 

[Jono]

Jaw hit the floor when I woke up this morning and checked the scores.

I wonder if he will blow out again in the French Open odds. He shortened a lot after he beat Rafa in Monte Carlo.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Federer also out in Madrid. Murray scrapes through in final set tie-break.

Laura Robson threw away a 5-2 final set lead and lost in a tie-break against Ivanovic. I can't help think she should have been more aggressive and bitten Ivanovic's arm.

it looks like age and the miles on his body have finally started taking its toll...

 

[Jono]

So glad that Wawrinka is getting some good results now. The man is in some serious form.

Nah he just came back from a long break. Rusty. Would not be surprised if he has a good run in Rome.

Don't forget Novak lost early in Madrid too and Rafa was a set and a break down vs. Ferrer. They're all a bit up-and-down this year.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Now Federer losing to Nishikori.

The 1.02 bets looking shaky.

 

[Jono]

So Murray came back from 3-6 1-4 and then again a break down at 4-5 to win the second set... and then retired immediately after.

The weirdest ****ing **** I have ever seen. You just can't warm to this **** I swear.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Apparently he's now skipping RG too.

But yeah, let's lambast a man for trying.

Murray skipping Roland Garros would actually be quite good, as it would mean that Nadal will enter it as the 4th seed, and not have to meet one of the other big 4 in the quarters.

Haha, fair enough.

Fed vs. Rafa

 

[Jono]

Fed broken 3 times in the first set. Solid.

 

[Jono]

Fed may have lost 9 games straight, but his backhand is still sweet to watch.
