What time is kickoff there?


Kickoff is at 2pm. I'm meeting some buddies for about noon and doing some tailgating. The parking lot is nice and easy to navigate and they have so many hotties walking around to go with food and beer

The game is just something going on in the background

I just don't think he's settled in yet. He's a late match machine as of late.

Man, Murray annoys the shite out of me. I like Djoko. Last year was pretty phenomenal.

eta: Why don't you like Djoko?

His whole demeanor just rubs me the wrong way. Can't exactly put my finger on what started it. Dude is a freak athlete though. I'll give him that

I will literally not pull for players because of where they are from. I admire Djokos game, and I also admire what a great ambassador for the game he is...nice guy, funny guy, etc...but I can't pull for a Serbian.

I can see why some dont like him though. He's a pretty intense guy on the court, he also has a propensity to bitch a little too much.

Yeah, I doubt you guys would give a shite there even if it was a halfway meaningful game.

How does a player win 6 games and then can't win a fricking point in the tie breaker?

Li had like 60 errors last night. Crazy.

Djokers backhand fricking EXPLODES. it's incredible...it's like Sosa hitting a corked bat.

Also, I'm pretty sure he's wayyyy in the hole to Murray on unforced errors. Not sure though...seems like it's about 6 to 1

Yeah the announcer talking about Murray taking that set, but to me it looked like Djoko handed it to him.

Same with last night, 60 unforced errors and they were saying how the turkey (Azarenka) totally took the match. It was almost like she just had to sit back and collect points.

ets: there you go, 25 errors.

You might be alright with your drunken bet man. The momentum is on Murray and Djoko is giving points away.

That's where women's tennis is so different than men's. in women's tennis, playing solid, consistent tennis with a low amount of UEs can win you almost every match you play. In men's tennis, that isn't enough...they can overcome a ton of errors and just out serve the shite out of lesser players. Likely wont happen in a match like this between two really good players but I've seen it happen.

Women just generally won't overpower each other that way unless you're talking about the Williams sisters. I've seen them win while committing 40 errors back in the day because they served like men.

But these matches where women play and it's 6-0 6-1 and the losing player committed 50-60 unforced errors...it makes you wonder how they consider themselves professionals. I guess the talent gap is just huge.

If Djoko keeps playing like this, Murray is gonna take him in 4.

Good point and how the turkey caller won last night.

Yep, although Murray is playing big time right now and Djoko's serve is not taking him out.

Yeah, the Williams sisters are impressive with their power. We need some American men to take over
