Tennis - ATP Finals in London - Spoilers

[joeybee12]

Andy Murray clearly isn't back, because he lost to Kei in straight sets...the tournaments he recently won he didn't really play anyone highly ranked.

Revenge is sweet...Roger beat Milos, 6-1, 7-6.

1. I had not checked yet.

Good outcomes for these matches as far as I am concerned. I was a little worried about Fed even though he is playing well. Great news.

These are not televised anywhere are they? Been too busy to look.

Thanks.

[joeybee12]

2. I was at a cat clinic and just checked the scores, didn't see the matches...

I bet you can watch them online through ESPN...

[MuseRider]

4. That leaves me out then, sadly

so much is going to streaming these days. We are slower than dial-up most of the time. Thanks though. I will watch for the results. I just saw your spoiler, thanks!

[joeybee12]

5. If you have the Tennis Channel...

I bet it's on that...they cover a lot of tournaments...ESPN is probably streaming what the Tennis Channel is showing..and the Tennis Channel shows matches over and over and over...

[TBF]

6. Roger is playing again today -

I should have a chance to check out Tennis Channel today so hopefully will catch it.

[joeybee12]

7. Spoiler...

Yeesh, I thought I could try and watch it, checked the score and it was already over, 6-3, 6-2...I'm not sure if this means Roger is definitely through.

[TBF]

8. Apparently he qualifies

for the semis one of two ways: The 33-year-old Federer will qualify for the semi-finals should he beat Nishikori and Milos Raonic beat Murray in the Tuesday's evening match. The Swiss could also qualify if he beats Nishikori in two sets and Murray defeats Raonic in three sets.

It was over too quick - I was out walking the dogs!

[joeybee12]

9. Thanks...

I think he'll beat Andy tomorrow...he's playing well and Andy isn't.

[joeybee12]

3. Spoiler...

Stan throttled Tomas, 6-1, 6-1...Tomas tried to get Lendl to be his coach, Lendl said he was too busy...Tomas needs someone or something right now.

[joeybee12]

10. Today's Spoilers...

Tomas beat Marin easily, and Djoker beat Stan surprisingly easily...Marin's out, and I assume Djoker is in, and it comes down to Stan or Tomas...

[joeybee12]

11. Milos pulled out so Ferrer is playing Kei right now...spoiler...

Kei looks like he'll win.

[joeybee12]

12. Roger is through to the finals, hasn't played yet...spoiler follows

This is because Kei won...he goes through if Andy loses, or even if Andy loses a set against Roger...I can never figure this out.

[joeybee12]

13. Spoiler...

Roger won...can you stand it...6-0, 6-1 over the Limey Bastard. In a tournament with lots of lopsided wins, this is the most one-sided...this means Kei is through with Roger on this side.

[TBF]

14. "eliminated and humiliated" :)

an article here:

You would think that, after four nights of uncompetitive singles tennis at the ATP World Tour Finals, the London crowd would not take kindly to another round-robin rout. Yet applause cascaded from the heights of the O2 Arena, and not a boo or whistle was audible, as Great Britain’s own Andy Murray lost the first set of his final round-robin match—along with any chance at reaching the semifinals—6-0 to Roger Federer.

The power of Fed is something to behold ...

15. SPOILER .......

....... Djoker took Berdych to the woodshed and will finish the year #1. ...... Can't seem to get a competitive match in this tournament.

[joeybee12]

16. Only competitive one was David and Kei...

And the outcome of that one wouldn't have mattered in the long run...Marin is playing like shit, so I bet the second match today will be a romp also...

[marmar]

17. Post-Grand Slam hangover ......

...... seems to happen to a lot of the players just outside of the Big 3 (ie Wawrinka, Cilic) who sneak a GS title.

[joeybee12]

18. True...

But Marin seems to be doing worse than most.

[joeybee12]

19. Spoiler...

Stan is through to the semis...he is up 5-2 in the first set and only needed to win 3 games total in this match to make it through.. Swiss v Swiss then Japanese vs Serb

[TBF]

20. Nice to hear -

Glad he's playing well! Mostly I'm still glowing over the Federer victory though. That should give him the fight to go after Djoker.

[joeybee12]

21. I wish they were in different brackets...

Would have been nice to have an all-Swiss final. Odds are it's Roger v Djoker...can't see Kei beating Djoker again, and barring anything really weird, Roger is playing too well for Stan to beat him this time.

[joeybee12]

22. Spoiler...

Jebus...5 all in the third.

[TBF]

23. Saw it -

it was an exquisite win but I think I need to take my blood pressure medicine early tonight. I don't think he likes beating Stan though. He's always more subdued in those victories.

[joeybee12]

24. I don't think he likes to play him...

Because he wants to win, and there is a friendship so the win is always tempered. I would have been cheering for Stan tomorrow had he won...seemed to me on the big points he played sort of tentatively.
