ROLAND GARROS 2015

Initially thought the Tsonga/Nishikori scoreline was down to Tsonga picking up where he left off but Nishikori is really having a nightmare out there. So wild.

:-(

Stan has played outrageous tennis to break Fed to 40!

Gorgeous blocked backhand winner.

Last rally had some great defense before hitting a winner on the line.

Fed/Stan is brilliant so far. Might have to start ignoring the other match.

Nishikori somehow getting WORSE. Cannot look away from this car crash.

Wawrinka return brings a serve-and-volleying Federer to his knees

I cautiously suspected Tsonga could surprise kei but nothing like this, only judging by scoreline tho, can't view :(

well, bits of Chatrier falling off might be the break Kei needs to get himself together

Hugely enjoying the stan match - doubt he'll keep this up but liking the view from the clouds.

Stan bangs some BH passes to break in set two...

...and Tsonga fails to serve out the set after play resumes. IRONY if Chatrier falling apart saved Kei

STAN! That pass

you'd think Fed would learn by now not to come in while hitting to Stan's backhand lol

2nd set Tsonga but still Kei might be in the right frame of mind so it isn't embarrassing.

Jo came out so shaky and Kei had improved...slightly, but I think Kei should've broken back there.

Stan on fire

#RG15

A game away.

Fed easily holds.

brilliant drop shot by fed, but easily could have seen that being disastrous

tiebreak

If Fed loses this TB it will be the first time in 292 GS matches he has failed to break his opponent's serve (last time: 2002 USO).

BACKHANDA

(That was Max Mirnyi, btw)

Well, I hope he wins it.

now that's a swashbuckling way to win MP

is there a useful schedule for the rest of today

the rest of today = finishing Tsonga/Nishikori plus whatever doubles/juniors may or may not be streamed (I have no idea of this and have to leave the house imminently)

Kei. :(

that was the first match i have watched in the tournament and it was rather good, some excellent tennis in spite/because of the conditions in the fourth set and into the fifth

aw that's a doubly bad loss for Kei now: coming out playing so terribly AND failing to capitalise on the gigantic gift he was given...Tsonga was nowhere near his awesome level vs Berdych in this match

Serena be screamin' to the SFs.

Djoko-Nadal about to start.

considering if its worth it to outright quit my job to watch rafa/novak

I am working from home

Nole easily manages an early break on the Nadal serve.

what a rally for double break! Miraculous defense form both of them.

a+

1st set prob gone but Nadal has got a game and act settled.

breaks back!

4-2 Djoko. The possibility of humiliation has woken him up.

oh dear smashes into the net, set ain't over till its over.

Amazing. 15-40 after a brutal rally!

Great stuff on deuce from both - Nadal is producing the bounce and height and Djoko is finding control hard.

one more shot baby: 4-4

This is what Becker was bought in for, #epicfail so far

Incredible 30 mins or so of Tennis. Nadal was a frightened a child and the turnaround has been a sight to see.

Good to know it's not just Fed who blows 4-0 leads vs Nadal.

SP Novak now though. He needed to make this hard.

Another awesome rally, Djoko and his drop shots - not sure about overuse but its exciting. another sp
