[Peru]

This gives me too much hope. I am setting myself up for the disappointment of a lifetime. Maria too.. she will learn that the path is more open and fall by some... Kirilenko nobody.

[jett]

This is some embarrassing shit.

[Nemo]

She's slippin like it's blue clay :(

[Keen]

To be 2 points from winning, and now risk getting bagled in the third is really quite something

[IISANDERII]

She's got many amazing records. Thing about the Williams sisters right now.. they play too sporadically to realistically stay at peak. They're amazing when on, they may win tournaments, slams (Venus might be past that) but they're bound to stumble. That's what happens when you don't grind steadily. The streak had to end some day. Still won't say Serena's lost this match since she's been down so many times in Slams and come back with a vengeance. But Razzano is a very good player at her best.

Well, that's what I was trying to say: That Serena is nowhere in sight of the records of Graf or Navratilova, but she still has(had?) that 1st round distinction over them.

[Peru]

Yeah.

As I said - her long time tour strategy is bound to bite her in the ass like this, but at the same time allows her to play into her thirties.

Match isn't over, tho.

[Nemo]

Not over yet!

edit, awww yeahhh

[Jay Sosa]

Like I said in the official thread, I'm a bit bored with mens tennis right now. Rooting for my fellow country men (Melzer, Haider Maurer, Paszek and Patricia Mayer) which all will f''k majestically, like always. Since the prince of tennis isn't playing other dudes I'm rooting for are Young (lol, hes like 1-26 this year) Dolgopolov, Bellucci and of course Fedgod. On the womens side I root for the same ladies as always (Kirilenko*, Masha, Cirstea, Lisicki, Cornet, Radwanska and Wozzy and whoever plays good tennis) and for some odd reason my hate for Serena* has turned into admiration. God knows why.

lol

*not yet

[Nemo]

They should give Rafa and Novak more hindrance punishments, these girls chump change compared to them

[jett]

what is it with this fucking umpire

[Maiar_m]

Well this game is embarassing on all fronts.

Doublt-fault on a Match point. That's just how embarassing her serve is.

[Peru]

What the fuck at that hindrance call..

[SunhiLegend]

[Maiar_m]

What's the point of winning Raz', you won't even make it to your car tonight, broken as your are...

[Keen]

wtf is going on!!?

[Lone_Prodigy]

What the heck. 5-3 now?

Following this on the RG website, looks like the longest deuce ever.

[Keen]

It's like a choking contest!

[Maiar_m]

It's like a choking contest!

We don't get to see the same sporting events.

Edit: Dudes, chill the freak out with the White Stripes.

[IISANDERII]

Wow a gif already? WTF is there some direct feed to gif converter I am unaware of?

[szaromir]

One of the most dramatic matches I've seen.

[TangMeng]

Serena got this.

[Keen]

Jebus Fscking Kris!

[Maiar_m]

Really, seeing her serve makes my own arm ache every time.

[jett]

this game is ridiculous and hilarious :lol CHOKEFEST 2012

[Jay Sosa]

Rofl who said anything bout choking?

Has anyone of you actually played tennis on a higher level?

[Lone_Prodigy]

How many deuces are they at?

[Vivalaraza]

Wow great backhand. Come on end this now!

[Keen]

Brilliant!


But it's like they can only play brilliantly when it's not match or gamepoint

[SunhiLegend]

This is going on forever

[Vivalaraza]

How many deuces are they at?

#10

[Nemo]

Damn!!! Could've had that one

[Smellycat]

omg

[Maiar_m]

Make that #11

[MIMIC]

I watched the beginning and Serena was broken to start the match. After she recovered and won the 1st, I went to the store.

Wow...down a break in the 3rd @_@

And God, the French crowd has to be the worst slam crowd of them all (closely followed by the clowns at the U.S. Open)

[Smellycat]

wow

[TangMeng]

holy shit lol

[Keen]

djklshf29 hdslf

[Maiar_m]

And God, the French crowd has to be the worst slam crowd of them all (closely followed by the clowns at the U.S. Open)

I was waiting for that. Congratulations, you're the first one to hit on the French crowd.

[Smellycat]

Finally!!!! First loss at a first round. Crazy

Yep, by far.

It's over.

Boo-urns

[Keen]

FINALLY!!!

[jett]

finally it's over

[Vivalaraza]

Yay! Great effort.

No idea what Serena was up to.

[Maiar_m]

Razzano. You'd better go the the finals at least, please. I don't like exploits on the first turn that turn into disasters right on the next game.

[szaromir]

Razzanosaid a couple years ago that it's easier to play against Serena than Wozniacki. Now she proved she knew what she was talking about :p

[DBT85]

Finally that match is over and I can go home. I could have left 50 minutes ago if she had pulled her thumb out of her ass.

Also the Roland Garros site says that they are both 5"9' and there is only a 2lb weight difference between them. No way says I.

[MIMIC]

ESPN experts sure knows their shit :)

I wouldn't be surprised if she gets double bageled the next round.

ESPN experts sure knows their shit :)

Come on dude, like ANYONE expected this.

It's always easy to bash experts AFTER a match.

The sleepers picks are quite strange though.

[MIMIC]

I wouldn't be surprised if she gets double bageled the next round.

6-0 0-6 6-0

This IS the WTA, remember :)

[Smellycat]

Serena didn't go down without a fight though. She saved 7 match points before falling.

I didn't know that Serena had never lost in a first round at a GS before. :O

One of the biggest upsets ever for sure. Serena was on a clay winning streak and the favorite to win!
