Stupid Novak; I counted and at the start of most serves, he bounces the ball 12-14 times before actually serving it.

Yeah, extremely annoying. I think he got a warning from the chair umpire for delaying the game.

all i know about tennis is that my friend is in love with it

Federer is really down in the dumps this year. Even Roddick manage to catch him in the sony ericsson open. Do you think the king has finally been dethroned? How will he do in the upcoming Grand Slam?

[Exodus]

WTF even Roddick his biatch was able to beat him he really is dethroned. Now I hope Berdych will win this

[gqonmars2]

I think it was the Canadian classic... I saw Novak Djokovic beat Nadal and Federer in one torniment. This kid has game. And if Roddick is to win, he has to think about beating Djokovic too.

I love to watch tennis.Marat Safin is mine favorite player.He is the former worlds number one tennis player.
Here is a bad news for me and for all who's favorite he is.
Marat Safin crashed out of the Valencia Open in the second round at the hands of Dutchman Robin Haase on Thursday.

He was not a weak contender.Even then he is crashed out.What could be the reasons.

His temper is his downfall. Very few people can play well when they get upset and frustrated. I always notice that whenever I play tennis and allow my frustration and temper to get the better of me, forget it, even my grandma can beat me at my favorite game.

Safin has all the talents in the world to be #1, but his flaring outrage and tendency to have mental meltdowns is what brings him down all the time. I also love him, but it's tough to support him when you rarely get to see him on TV because he hardly makes it to the latter half of a tournament. He even needed a wild card in order to enter into Valencia's tournament. However, I still wish for him to make the best of his remaining 1 1/2 years on tour, as he said he'd retire by age 30. Who knows, maybe he can make one last big bang run at a grand slam if he can tone down his anger.

But on the bright side, for me at least, Nadal won again! Yay! Vamous Rafa!

the only reason nadal won was because it's played on a clay court. and boy did federer gave him a run for it. 7-5, 7-5 is not a bad score for Fed-ex. Finally he seems to be picking up his game. Hopefully this is a good sign for the upcoming French Open.

Why are people also so quick to dicredit Nadal when he won on clay?
Winning four straight titles at Monte Carlo and 97 of the last 98 matches on clay is not easy.

Oh yeah, 7-5, 7-5 is not a bad score, but he should be hitting himself in the head for letting Nadal rally from 0-4 deficit in the second set.

[KChill]

Nadal could probably play better if not for the obvious wedgie that seems to bother him during every match.

[f.alchemist_freak]

we aren't discrediting him at all - in fact, we're crediting him for winning his clay games.

btw, good one there KChill .

Man, I havent been watching any tennis matches. Shame on me

No. 1 Justine Henin retires from tennis immediately

By RAF CASERT, AP Sports Writer

LIMELETTE, Belgium (AP)—Top-ranked Justine Henin is retiring from tennis, effective immediately.
The 25-year-old Belgian, who has won seven Grand Slam titles, is making the surprising announcement at a news conference Wednesday.
Henin’s decision comes less than two weeks before the start of the French Open. She has won that clay court tournament four times, including the past three years.
Henin won 10 tournaments last year, but has been in one of the worst slumps of her career this season. She lost last week in the third round of the German Open and pulled out of this week’s Italian Open, citing fatigue.

WHAT?? Without Henin, women's tennis won't be as competitive anymore

Safin = wasted talent.

This guy has the power, the serves, the strokes to challenge Federer for slams. Too bad for his poor on-court attitude, and I must say lack of heart and motivation...

I actually like Richard Gasquet. Love his backhand - so beautiful to watch. Too bad this guy also have mental issues...His results are pretty poor this year...something needs to be done to fix this guy's brains LOL.

You got your wish! =P
Sharapova will assume the no.1 ranking next week after Henin asked to be removed from the rankings following her immediate retirement.
