Day 6 short reflections

The picture speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Freaking 54% first serve percentage is NOT going to carry you through anywhere near the final. The shots were messy, he was allllll over the place, Tipsarevich wasn't even playing great tennis but he still managed to take a lead in the first set.

Lucky for Murray, Tips retired (what is it with these Serbians??!! RE: Djokovic) in the second set after calling a doctor on court, popping a pill, and then deciding enough was enough. The camera shot on Murray's face when Tips left the court after the game said it all. He knows it's not good enough. I hope he gets throttled by Cilic; the 20 year old Croatian player, currently ranked no 13.

6ft 6inch Cilic will bring the game, he has a tendency to get bashed around, and flopping over his long legs, but when he's focused, he is really good. Murray will be looking to swatting this fly out the way.

I am supposed to be revising for my Psychology of Addiction exam which is less than an hour away right now. This is how much i have given up on everything in my life except tennis.

Matches to look forward to today:

1. Paul henry Mathieu vs ROGER FEDERER (last match of the day) should be sweeeet.

2. Philip Kohlschrieber vs Djokovic (lets see what tricks Djokovic has up his sleeve)

3. IN PROGRESS NOW I WISH I COULD WATCH!!!!- IGOR ANDREEV VS DEL POTRO- both absolute warriors.

  1. Ever been bitter?

    Good luck. Although I guess it's a 4.30 and you're staring vacantly at the page by now, either because it's impossible to fathom the exam question, or what else could possibly be written.

  2. Well, the good thing about multiple choice, is that you don't need to think very much when guessing. You just close your eyes and pick the first letter that comes to mind. Anyway, it was only a one hour, and i got back in time to see the Federer match just about, so it's all good.

    I will just work overtime for statistics and social psych.......that's if some meteor lands on Roland Garros and they're not broadcasting anymore.
