Delpo not looking comfortable on the BH side whatsoever. Sad

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:22 pm

No he has lost the first.. knows he should have broke Popsi's serve there.
Not really expecting too much from him after such a long layoff but
his presence has been missed and I for one am glad to see him back.

He will doubtless be fighting to find his form. Hope he does

by Guest Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:23 pm

Wouldn't surprise me if he loses his serve that he might retire from the match.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:26 pm

Well he did didnt he? but then he didnt did he ??? Wink

by Guest Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:30 pm

Well it was strange wasn't it??

He has managed a break of the Pospisil serve. Smile

by CaledonianCraig Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:31 pm

A break for Del Potro. Is he on the road back?

I think it would be good even if he lost in three sets as it gets him a bit more match fitness which he obviously needs.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:32 pm

Absolutely thumbsup

Great to see the big man back and hopefully he can go from strength to strength.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:44 pm

I agree with you CC ..I think he has been missed.. and reading the interview they had with him he is so glad to be back. He has missed his tennis which he is so passionate about. He still has time to get back in contention I do so hope he has the success and suffers no further injuries.

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:50 pm

No no, this pink bandanna & yellow shoes, is not gonna work Delpo.

Get some serious gear and kick some ass boy.

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 7:51 pm

HN & CC, again on their Yes Yes, agree agree, I love you, you love me, mood.

Drop it kids, it's not Friday yet Laugh

Of course he needs wins as well and start that mighty long climb back up the rankings. I think if Del Potro wins this set he will take the match. thumbsup

Oh oh FH on fire now.

WHo are these americano commentators on Sky?

Oh dear.

Post sense and you never know I may one day (when hell freezes over) I may agree with you. Wink

Just hold serve Delpo ....hold !!

Haha, very nicely put, but whats the point to come and agree here, so much agreeing in daily life, at least here lets disagree RedWine

Possessed

by Guest Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:03 pm

Delpo only 3 winners!! Shocked

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:03 pm

So this time its Delpos left wrist healing, means the BH should be weaker, though the FH looks just ok, since he had that operated earlier too.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:04 pm

That then says little for Pospi yes??

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:06 pm

cmon

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:11 pm

BP Pospi, wake up Del boy.

by CaledonianCraig Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:12 pm

Oh dear.

Now Del Potro must regroup at 5-5.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:12 pm

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:12 pm

DP broken, he needs some challenger matches, not a Masters, to get back.

Looking average & tired, just like Nadal.

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:13 pm

Now he hurt ankle? come onnn

by CaledonianCraig Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:13 pm

Oh dear. No. Del Potro feeling his ankle. Shocked

by temporary21 Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:20 pm

Delpo right in trouble here.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:21 pm

Yes but when he digs deep and finds one of his trademark shots..vintage Delpo

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:22 pm

try again Dp

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:24 pm

vamos

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:28 pm

Get 2 rockets in, finish up.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:30 pm

Nooooooooooooo

by CaledonianCraig Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:33 pm

Del Potro lets slip a set point and loses to Pospisil 6-4 7-6. Disappointing end to the match for the big man but he'll only get better of that I am sure.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:33 pm

by Jahu Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:34 pm

All done, Delpo not ready yet.

by Haddie-nuff Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:35 pm

Not truly bad considering his long absence ... he should be proud of that for his first match back

by socal1976 Fri Mar 27, 2015 2:29 am

Nice that Del Po comes back and is close in this match. Hopefully he can find away back and be a contender again for quite some time.

by Guest82 Fri Mar 27, 2015 9:03 am

Did Delpo choke a bit?

Serving for second set - broken
Set points in tie break - not taken

Well he was bound to be nervous. It was a big match for him - his first back on the Masters circuit for a very long time.

by Born Slippy Fri Mar 27, 2015 10:48 am

Double fault on the set point as well.

Getting through the match is a big plus, especially given the worry over his ankle towards the end. Can't stand his game but he seems a decent chap so hope he can be injury free for a spell.

Hmm I find he brings something a bit different onto court which is nice to see. Hits with great aggression (Muzza take note) and can vary his game a bit more than just being a clubber (ie one who just hits the ball as hard as he can).

I like him. Think he brings an attacking game and as CC says is a bit more than a ball basher. I thought he was going to dominate the mens game after he won the US Open, shame injuries have ruined his career up until now.

Seeing him hit that forehand live is one of the best experiences watching tennis.

by Haddie-nuff Fri Mar 27, 2015 12:59 pm

I like him too. When Delpo is in form he plays some great tennis. He was nervous yesterday without a doubt and he was mad at himself for not taking that second set.. but lets be fair he was in a Masters for his first match back.. He probably did choke but he can gain some confidence from that performance.

by Born Slippy Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:35 pm

Just too robotic for me. Its what I would describe as percentage aggression. He won't take many risks and there is little variety. He hits it hard, sure, but his actual game-plan is very similar to Djokovic and Murray. Cilic, in my view, is a far more exciting player to watch - when on song there is some real creativity and variety in his game.

by Haddie-nuff Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:44 pm

Just as well because I dont like Cilic.. there is room for them all though.
