People get so excited about things like this. Tennis Twitter doing its nut over how Safarova's going to reach the final, I'm just thinking it's time to put money on Sharapova because of how it always ends up
And to continue watching the White Mug and Pennetta obv
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 10:15 (nine years ago) link
Well. If Safarova gets through this (which she won't) she has her pigeon Ivanovic as a possible SF opponent.

prove me wrong Lucie, prove me wrong, you headcase!
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 1 June 2015 10:18 (nine years ago) link
I don't think anyone should be writing off Muguruza. Or Pennetta for that matter.
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 10:27 (nine years ago) link
Muguruza has started both sets slow but the way she's hauled herself back into them has been so impressive. BH on fire
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 10:35 (nine years ago) link
White Mug/Serena final would be amazing.
It's Justine Henin's birthday today. What more fitting present would there be than a Sharapova loss?
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 1 June 2015 10:41 (nine years ago) link
I'm hoping Muguruza finished what she started last year against Sharapova (yes, already writing Lucie "just handed the break back with a DF" off)
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 10:42 (nine years ago) link
ooooOOOOOooooo Maria DF to give Lucie MP
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 11:00 (nine years ago) link
LOL. Maria lob lands on the baseline, Lucie dumps it into the net
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 11:01 (nine years ago) link
omg yes yes yes. claypova my arse.
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 1 June 2015 11:02 (nine years ago) link
Whoa she actually did it. Lucie!!!!
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 11:03 (nine years ago) link
hahaha :)
― cerealbar, Monday, 1 June 2015 11:03 (nine years ago) link
I am now totally happy with any finalist from this half... even Ivanovic? Even Ivanovic!
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 1 June 2015 11:03 (nine years ago) link
Bouchard out of the top 10 now and Safarova in :D :D :D
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 1 June 2015 11:07 (nine years ago) link
Ma$ha has still never defended a Slam title!
xp gosh I had no idea that was Safarova's top 10 match, she had one or two earlier this year and flopped hard iirc. Even more impressive.
Safarova and Muguruza have never played!

Back call for ITV4 to show Murray match instead of Fed-Monfils :-(

gael really got fucked by the scheduling. he had all the momentum yesterday

I had totally forgotten that this is the year of the three-week Paris-London break. Wimbledon starts a week later than I thought. I picked a bad night to agree to photograph some gamelan players (men's QF)...

Gael has no excuses.

Gael got fucked by his own clowning around and taking ten sets to beat Schwartzman and Cuevas

Murray in trouble, broken in the 3rd.

Chardy clowns around at the next - break back.

NID that Chardy wouldn't keep it together mentally, story of his career
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:07 (nine years ago) link
yup, Murray to serve for the 3rd
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:08 (nine years ago) link
The height on that Serena dropshot made it look like the worst dropshot ever but it only just landed on the other side of the net and proved surprisingly effective
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:08 (nine years ago) link
LMAOOOO that Chardy drive volley

Serena's just left at least two Stephens shots that landed on the baseline pretty close to her for no apparent reason
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:17 (nine years ago) link
is she injured/uninterested/what? Stephens 6-1 inside 25 mins.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:18 (nine years ago) link
what is this shit on my television?
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:19 (nine years ago) link
Completely bizarre lack of fight in that last game, Serena just slapping the ball out. That set felt like it lasted about 10 minutes
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:19 (nine years ago) link
Perched for the ERRANI SLAM now
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:30 (nine years ago) link
Down 1-6, *2-3, 15-30, Serena won the longest rally of the match and it woke her up. Held serve then broke Stephens after the longest game of the match.
― lex pretend, Monday, 1 June 2015 13:49 (nine years ago) link
Rising from the ashes (again)
In the meantime Murray to serve for the match after exchanging breaks.
