The Indian Wells Masters 1000 Thread

[temporary21]

First topic message reminder :

Figured that masters 1000 events deserve their own threads and as such here is your place for all things Indian Wells.

[temporary21]

Yeah the court is really slow and high bouncing, especially for a place that is soo hot. A court in that part of the world should favour quicker matches Was it Miami where Muzz and Ferrer played the final and both nearly collapsed?

[Jahu]

HN, Stop flirting with me.

[LuvSports!]

You get worked up way too easily. It's just tennis.

[Jahu]

Who and worked where?

[Haddie-nuff]

You get worked up way too easily. It's just tennis.

If, as I believe you are, talking to me dont cheese yourself.. I couldnt give a cheese what you think that is why I do not care to discuss it with you

[LuvSports!]

Lol
Point stands.

[Jahu]

HN on cheese dis-balance tonight it seems.

It's ok, xmass is just around the corner.

Andy Murray has beaten Adrian Mannerino (France) 6-3 6-3 in the 4th Round of the Indian Wells Masters. It is something of a milestone win (the 496th of his career) and takes him level with Tim Henman for most wins in the Open Era by a British player.

[Jahu]

Oh Ninja ninja, you need to be upgraded to Samurai ASAP!

[CaledonianCraig]

And with Lopez completed the win over Kei Nishikori it means that Murray is sure to keep his No.4 ranking after this tournament.

[Jahu]

Temporary21, all genders have cheese problems.

[Haddie-nuff]

Feli how on earth did you manage that???
You ranked 12 and him ranked 5
You being 33yrs and him 25yrs

Such a rubbish forehand and a crappy backhand  You must be doing something right !!!

[temporary21]

Felis having a bit of an Indian summer in his career. Hes quietly had a really good 6 months and might be in with a shout of a Wimby charge if he keeps it up

He has a new coach and is a much more disciplined player than he was... had he done what he should have done in his earlier years instead of, along with his pal Verdasco, chased everything in skirts in Madrid he might have been way ahead in the rankings, still all credit to him he may be in the death throes of his career but he is squeezing the life out of it before he retires

[Jahu]

Come on Rosol, pack him like a cheap H&M China t-shirt.

[Born Slippy]

Mannarino looked a bit like Donald Young. Physically gifted and talented but mentally brittle. Always going to throw in a couple of bad games per set.

Lopez v Murray will be interesting. 9-0 to Murray h2h but if Lopez goes all out attack he could cause problems.

[Haddie-nuff]

mmm Might be a step to far for Lopez me fears.. though his game has improved since they last met and Andy has not exactly been firing on all four cylinders.. but I think there really should only be one winner.. but I would be happy to be proved wrong

[Josiah Maiestas]

Murray 64% on first serves must be a typo. He's never had that consistent a serve in his life.

Lopez is taking his singles career very seriously these days can see him sneaking a set in that 1

[Haddie-nuff]

After the match, Nishikori gave his assessment.

"I think I really had one bad game at 5-4 [in the second set]," said the Japanese, who had never before reached the fourth round at this event. "I think until then, I was playing better. I mean, he was hitting good serves, but you know, I had all the chances. But just one bad game at 5-4; I think that's all that matters in today's match."

I think it might have been a little more gracious of him to give a modicum of credit to his opponent ???

[It Must Be Love]

Come on Rosol, pack him like a cheap H&M China t-shirt.

Jahu, to be frank I've had enough of your disgusting abuse towards H&M.

It's a superb brand.

Flopez unstoppable serves must've irritated the little lamb

[Jahu]

IMBL, H&M is good, just that the shirts they give to Berdy are a beta test.

Superb is a word not to be confused with H&M, but since you are young, I will let you try some more brands, so don't be a brand slave, try George from Asda, great value/quality too.

See, Josiah knows quality, thought I just donated all my Andy's Under Armour/Under Armpit clothes to Oxfam

[It Must Be Love]

I'm reporting both Josiah and Jahu to the mods, pretty sure insulting H&M in this manner is against the house rules of the forum.

[Haddie-nuff]

Can you get tennis gear in ....dare I say it....Primark ???

[kingraf]

H&M do seem to give the newly qualified designers free range on Berdych shirts in the hope that all the hideous outlandish designs they have arrived gone before they join the casual wear department

[Haddie-nuff]

I do have to say that this current outfit of Berdy's looks like summer sleepwear for men

[Jahu]

HN control your self tonight, cheese and all

P.S: You serious?

Just had a word with Julius, he said this is even above the v2 authorities and is calling the police.

[It Must Be Love]

Rosol really taking the ball early and giving Berdych trouble.

[It Must Be Love]

Sky Bet deal was bet £5, and get £20 free.
So put £5 for an accumulator of Murray and Federer winning today (Murray has already won... if Federer wins I get 89p from that).
Then my £20 free bet was on Simon beating Nadal, at 4/1, so I get £80 for free if Simon beats Nadal.

Still supporting Rafa of course, but unless he improves from yesterday, £80 in my bank account.

GCHQ has been called?

Let me call LF to tell her to give a call to NSA, the big daddy

Ok, H&M is good, just found a shoe spoon from them, in my shoe drawer, top quality.

So relax now.

Peace brother, Fashion peace

You don't have to call the NSA, just call any random number, and they'll be listening in.

Nadal Goat Federer Not Goat 2006 Weak Era 2008 Golden Era Fedal H2H Moet & Chandon

[Jahu]

You saying Nadal goat, has scared people man.

Stick to fashion.

[banbrotam]

mmm Might be a step to far for Lopez me fears.. though his game has improved since they last met and Andy has not exactly been firing on all four cylinders.. but I think there really should only be one winner.. but I would be happy to be proved wrong

For me Andy's having his best hard court Masters since he won the last one. The Kol match was particularly good - I liked the way where he just gave up the set (right at the end) and just went back to this 'A' game, nice match as well

Don't think he's looked in any trouble and this on a hard court not to his liking, he's far better on fast low bouncing stuff than this stuff that actually favours Rafa more than RG

Hope the fab four all make it to the semi's, not least to see what bogbrush has to say about it

[Haddie-nuff]

Im not able to see Rafa playing at the moment, having Raonic rammed down my throat and then some.. spare me Canadian t v. I know he has won the first set against Simon can anyone tell me how he looks.. is he playing well or is Simon rubbish

[Born Slippy]

Better than last night but Simon started very slow. Looks like he may make a match of it in this set.

[Born Slippy]

Three poor forehand errors in this game from Rafa though to put him 0-40 down.

[Haddie-nuff]

Thanks

[It Must Be Love]

Much better than yesterday apart from an awful lapse in the second game of this set.
