radar showing some potential here lads
all the rain spinning/drifting to the south and west
>>68000571
yay more rain for me
morning lads
is this the worst grand slam ever?
between Federer pulling out, Rafa pulling out, Tsonga retiring mid-match, AND countless delays and cancellations from rain.
>>68000532
>rain all day again
>>68000617
i still think the 2014 us open might have taken place in some sort of parallel universe
2012 uso was kinda horrible too and i dont want to talk about the 2009 wimbledon either, partially for flag related reasons
>>68000617
i like their multimedia it's on point and shows a lot of insight for people who can't walk around and see those things in person
>>68000617
Nah, this is just the average French Open.
Oh jesus look at that rain

court covers are being taken off
>no roof
>no floodlights
>no hawk-eye
What do these guys do with their revenue? If they can't get their shit together ITF should move the clay slam elsewhere
Don't bother watching today btw, will rain like a bitch
reminder that roofs are cancer and an outdoor tournament should be an outdoor tournament for ALL matches
reminder that the roof at wimbledon is the only reason Federer beat Murray in the 2012 final
>>68000912
Fuck off cunt
>>68000912
>muh tradition
Indoor courts are the only way to make things fair for everyone
>>68000914
i'll put you in the fucking ground mate, you little casual scrote.
>>68000921
it isn't fair for eveyrone it changes the matches that take place under a roof massively
Should Indian Wells replace RG as a grand slam?
Should the Open 13 at Marseille replace RG as a Grand Slam?
Should the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament at Ahoy Rotterdam replace RG as a Grand Slam?
The amount of people that just went "should x replace RG as a Grand Slam?" proves the predictable, smart ass nature of this board.
All of you try and impress each other with these funny green text comments, from someone who doesn't spend all their life online, it looks ridiculous.
To hell with this I'm off, don't wanna waste my life on "addictive and funny 4chan".
>>68000963
Moot pls go
Should the addictive and funny 4chan replace RG as a Grand Slam?
@68000963
You're not going to bait anyone with that old pasta David.
They could reshuffle the slams a bit so it's during a season when it doesn't rain all the fucking time.
>>68000988
It's basically Summer there
They should convert all Australian tennis courts to clay and all French and Spanish courts to hardcourt.
why cant djokovic judt fuck off abd die already?
>>68000791
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
>>68000984
you know that still counts as a you
most excited to watch gasquet, svitolina and bertens desu
>>68001002
Because you died sometime after Wimbledon 2013 and this is actually hell.
>>68000690
>>68000693
It's a pretty ugly looking place, what with all the concrete and dirty sticky clay everywhere. Doesn't contrast well at all. The seating arrangement isn't easy on the eye either. There's only so much those trees can do, they're working overtime.
Batista-Agut is the most pointless seed ever.
What does he ever do? Has he ever even beaten a top 20 opponent in a GS?
Dat mudball
>agut's record
fucking yawn. can this guy be expelled from the seeds and someone who can actually challeneg the decent players be put in instead.
agut is a literal clay pigeon for all top 10 players. it's like a free-pass to the next rounf
>not putting a giant plastic canvas over the stadiums to serve as a quick makeshift roof
>showing Djokovic instead of Thiem
reee
>>68001086
Is it not being shown anywhere?
i literally played football on clay pitches as an 11-13 year old child during winter in all disgusting weather. why can't these tennis player poofs just play through the rain too?
>>68001072
>expelled from the seeds
They seed the top 30 ranked players, you can't just expel someone that is ranked 16th...
>>68001093
no it is. it's just just that the acestream i have isn't showing it :^)
>>68001100
the ball must bounce
>tfw you will never be this aesthetic
>inb4 it rains and forget about fucking tennis for the day
The frogs will build roof when we pay debts.
Never.
is anyone else struggling to see the ball?
>>68001135
yeah and it's not because of the quality of the stream
>>68001135
Actually yes, here.
I have no idea why, didn't have any problems the previous days.
I'm watching it on tv in hd too.
>>68001144
im watching on the tv and struggling
>>68001135
Yeah not too easy to follow at the moment.
>get broken
>break back
fucking what is the point of being a djokovic fan? you know he's going to win it every time no matter what. where is the excitement?
>>68001135
yea same
>>68001135
BUILD
>>68001145
Combination of low light and dark clay probably. Though I doubt that's any different to previous days.
yeah, can see it a lot more clearly now its new balls.
must've been because the balls were soaking and full of clay all over
list of people literally raped by rain delays

Me too, I can see just fine now.
Weird.
>>68001019
This would actually make sense in my case if you said 2011
hold your fucking serve, bAUTISTA
>getting broken 3 times in a set by Bautista Agut
JUST
>mfw Djokovic loses because of rainb all
>>68001072
I feel you senpai but someone's gotta make up the numbers
The difference in skill level between the top4 and the rest of the top 32 is actually smaller than you think. Mentally Agut can't go to the next level, it's beyond his control
>>68001200
>Djokovic loses
>losing
>Djokovic
yeah nah
>>68001150
Because he is goat, simple as that.
>>68000791
Only losers who use two handed backhand needs a full overgrip
DJOKOVIC CHOKING. B0T AND WATER DUNT MIX.
>>68000895
>Hawkeye on clay
are you dumb ?
>>68001210
>he plays one handed backhand
sup grandpa
IT'S OVER
DJOKO IS FINISHED
CAN HE DO IT?
>>68001219
The marks are unreliable too you know. Depending on how loose or tough the clay is at that point the mark might be smaller or bigger than the real footprint. These things are affected by the weather
literally yelled "COME ON" when bAUTISTa won the set
that's how excited seeing anything other than >DWL gets me
call me delusional but Rafa would have fucking REKT Djokovic.
>Djokko went up and left the fucking court without the Ref stopping the game
ASSHOLE.
I've watched this episode before
Pretty sure Djokovic was a set and a break down in a masters to bautista agut and then won
If Bautistic wins this will become the best slam of the decade as opposed to the worst
France Tv are such fuck-ups that they ain't showing the Thiem game.. Instead you get Radjwanska. Fuck that.
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
>>68000895
>>no hawk-eye
The French won't want to officially use a British invention.
I missed the first set of djoker. Where can i catch up?
>>68001260
this
>djoko loses the first set, go out for a bit
>come back, eurosport showing thiem game
What happened???
>>68001283
Djoko retired. groin injury
>>68001283
>PLAY SUSPENDED
Kill me now,
>i can't follow the ball
>>68001219
True, everyone needs to keep up the pretense that Hawkeye is infallible (when it actually has an error margin of 2-3mm), and clear evidence to the contrary (a mark on clay) would bugger that up
>Djokovic pretends to struggle in the fourth round then steamrolls through the rest of the tourney
Didn't we already see this episode during the Aussie Open this year? (Can he beat his One Hundred unforced errors??)
>>68001267
underrated
>>68001263
They didn't because the camera was completely wet.
You couldn't see shit.
Maybe all the rain daleys from yesterday have fucked short circuited the bot
>>68001327
What the fuck? Didn't they have another camera? The fuck?
>>68001026
well he can take a set from Djokobot and fuck with him
Novak always lost against Nadal in the wet.

This is so shit.
First bank holiday monday is rained off. Now I'm working from home and it's gonna be rained off again.

>>68001543
Don't expect too much today. Likely to rain all day again.

that's a damn shame

foxsports says earlier but live day 10 is today cancelled? mine showing djokovic and bautista.
>yfw Federer wins Wimbledon because all the good players are stuck in Paris waiting for the rain to stop
>>68001584
don't get your hopes up rog
The rain will probably stay for a long time. They are going to fall behind schedule and nobody wants that, really.
To save some time, I suggest that they should cancel the matches that started, and give the victory to whoever had the upper hand before the interruption.
>>68001584
Raining in London too right now.

Why don't they just close the roof?
Oh wait...
The curse of Nadal lives on
Soderling's career is still fucked
Djokovic will never win the French, due to increasingly bizarre circumstances
no match before 2pm

>>68001639
wanna talk about wimbledon and how they were shit for 50 years after perry?
or the current state of the male US tennis?

While we wait, so what other sports do you lads follow?
Football and F1/MotoGP here.
absolute shambles so far
hope it doesn't rain all through the euros aswell
>>68001734
only football and tennis.
other sports are dreadful.
>>68001654
You have a ROOF? Damn, that means you could play a few games out of the hundreds that need to be played??
DAMN!!
>>68001748
>hope it doesn't rain all through the euros aswell
It's not so much an issue with football, though it depends on how long it rains and the quality of the pitch.
>this guy has made it through to the quarters
this slam is in the running for worst in the last decade
>>68001734
Ice hockey, F1, AFL and cricket here 2bh.
>>68001734
tennis is my top but (american) football and memechuck here. some baseball/hockey too but less so over the years, same with racing (f1/indy/redneckcar/nhra), same with really everything except tennis these last few years. meh. still sort of try to catch important events or playoffs though.
that monaco race the other day was one of the memest things ive ever seen. i coulda swore some of those guys were trying to play our bingo, especially sauber
tl;dr tennis only tbqh
>>68001734
I wanted to watch game 7 yesterday between the Warriors and OKC. I was so tired that I slept after 5 minutes.
>>68001764
Second roof coming soon. Master Plan. Lovely English country garden.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Em0k3Kih0
Agut broke Chokavic twice in their first set..
>>68001773
Which guy is this?
>>68001781
By that point, why name it an Open Tournament if it is played indoor. Next step should be dropping the white apparels if you care so less about tradition...
>>68001787

>>68001788

>>68001773
Weak era.
>>68001764
>defending having no roof
>>68001791
If it rains, then needs must.
>>68001781
Meanwhile the Australian Open has 3 (THREE) roofs.
I think it's time the other Slams stepped up their game.
>>68001806
That's a multi-sport area though isn't it? Wimbledon and Roland Garros are only ever used for tennis and is probably the reason it's taken so long to get roofs.
If they made the slam 3 weeks, weather wouldn't be a problem. Also players would be playing better tennis.
>>68001817
I dont want anyone to play tennis
In my ideal world all I do is shitpost. With all of the rain, I get extra days to do this.
France pls do not build roof
Let's talk about NIshikori. Where you guys disappointed in his performance? He played like shit...
>>68001842
No one's surprised anymore.
>>68001842
by his performance*
>>68001813
of course, stupid to have stadiums that will sit empty of 50 weeks of the year
no play before 3pm
Let's talk about Thiem now. Future #1? Or is that gonna be Zverev? He seems headed to a Semis at age 22.. Nadal talked very highly of both of them.
Why is there a bunch of people clapping/dancing/singing in the court?
>No play before 3pm
Now is the time to be upset.
Fuck this, gonna play some video games.
>>68001842
one of the worst performances so far, easily
i remember thinking that he should have lost the verdasco match and got lucky there and was going to need to play better to beat gasquet, but i fully expected him to.
nope. the rain delay at 4-2 40-40 fucked his shit up (his look on the court was telling for most of the next half hour) but credit to gasquet, he did play well and better defense than ive seen from him in awhile. disappointing that i knew gasquet would get broken serving to stay in the set in the third and kei just needed to win the next 20 mins; i think gasquet would have given him the rest.
instead kei plays somehow even worse in the 4th. wouldnt even allow for a possible choke. fuck him. deserved to lose
>>68001852
No need to correct it 2bh, the original was correct.
>>68001885
It's the anti-rain dance.
>>68001543
Not before 1 bong's time according to RG official twitter
>>68001903
disappointed with sounds more correct 2bh
lets make some memes.
there has to be some good rain ones available
>>68001543
UPDATE: Weather Update: No play before 3pm
>>68001954
yeah i heard. i guess it's a good sign that they haven't cancelled the matches yet. a delay indicates that they're expecting the rain to stop

'How do we slow these english cunts down?'
>>68002045
Problem is that it's in a noble residential district. The rich residents seem to have something against such a huge ass building and the tournament site getting bigger.
>>68002080
Even though the tennis buildings were there first and the residential buildings around it came later.
>>68002098
well, you see the same thing with highways and railroads... first they're built, then people move in due to the new infrastructure and then proceed to complain about the noise
is arthur ashe getting a roof? that's crazy, it's such a huge and wide crater
>>68002080
government should just forcibly acquire their land and tell them to fuck off
>>68002098
Well, doesn't matter. As long as you own neighbouring property you can really fuck up most construction plans if you want to.
