This has just ended so the thread comes to a natural conclusion. I'm new around here so I didn't notice that there already was an excellent and enduring tennis thread on the DSP site. I'll copy this post onto that and for future tourneys post there. Be great to keep that thread going for many more y...

Logical prediction 10spro. IMO Murray's got everything that Simon's got and a fair bit more besides. The other question is how much Gilles will have left in the tank after his marathon matches this week (3.5 hours yesterday alone). Looking forward to watching the match tho'. Simon will see this as a...

Believers in destiny looking for an outside bet might be interested to know that Simon has saved match points against both Andreev and Ginepri, in getting this far. Anyone who decided to have a flutter based on this and now feels morally obliged to make a contribution to my ailing economy, should S...

Thanks 10spro. I was like a kid in a candy shop. I hadn't seen top class pro tennis for about 5 or 6 years. You're dead right. Nothing beats seeing these guys live. Watching the raquet head acceleration when Fed connects with a forehand isn't the same on the box. I saw the Murray and Fed matches and...

Nadal, Federer and Del Potro all won authoritatively. Big surprise was Djoko losing to Karlovic 7-6, 7-6. Karlovic's last 3 meetings with the big 3 have produced the following results: V Nadal (Queens Club) - lost 6-7 7-6 7-6 v Federer (Cincinnati) - won 7-6 7-6 vDjokovic (Madrid) - won 7-6 7-6 See ...

I'd go along with your predictions 10spro, tho' I think Fed and Nadal could have it tough. Tsonga got out of jail yesterday and recently won a tournament (can't remember which one) beating Djoko in the final. He's been injured a practically all year, so he hasn't had much of a chance to capitalise o...

Cheers 10spro. Thanks for breaking the monologue. Del Potro is the rookie of the year for me and I'm torn between wanting new faces to come thro' and being robbed of the Rafa/Fed showdown (hottest ticket in sport right now?) Djoko and Tsonga played with fire and almost paid the price. Nalbandian too...

Due to popular demand and highly encouraged by the overwhelming response to this thread thus far...I'm back. :D Gulbis tried to blow Nadal off the court and looked as if he might do it, when he won the 2nd and had a break point early in the third. Nadal, on the back foot for much of the match toughe...

Tennis - Madrid Masters Series

This started yesterday. First big tournament since US Open, featuring all the top names. Be interesting to see the renewal of the Federer/Nadal rivalry. Outstanding 2nd round matchups include: Nadal v Ernest Gulbis (Latvian whizz kid touted by many to be a future No.1), Fed v Stepanek. American inte...

No doubt the authors of this lyrical tour de force really only meant that they wouldn't mind kicking the living sh*t out of Sol if they ever got their hands on him. The fact that it's hard to get sh*t to rhyme with HIV presumably forced them to go down the "hanging from a tree" road. Aside from thei...

Be great if the PS 2 version included a widescreen option this time round. Unlikely, I guess. Cheers

Be interesting to know if the PS3 demo is in any way different to the 360 one (the one I've seen). The replays are way better than in PES 2008 but still jumpier IMO than PES 6 (360). Probably one of the few visual treats PES 2008 had to offer were the brilliant goal net physics and happily they have...

Does anybody (like me!) think that the PES demo actually looks better than the FIFA demo? CHEERS I do. :) I'm not necessarily saying that the Fifa demo looks bad. It's just that since the PS 2 days, it's been taken for granted that Fifa looks better and this "common wisdom" has been taken a step fu...
