[iloveryanandjake88]

Former big fan here. Nando hasn't played good tennis regularly in about 2 years now, and hasn't won a title in 3 years. I'm no longer disappointed at any bad result that comes from him...

And Redpoo is not a tennis player .

[iloveryanandjake88]

Can't believe it is the same guy who was reaching the Australian Open semis those years ago. Such a shame because he was an exciting player to watch at his best.

I've now decided that Ryan Harrison is the cutest thing I've ever seen on a tennis court. He just looks like he needs a hug and that's even before he has lost. Credit to him for at least using some tactics against Rafa Nadal even if he did come out of it the loser.

Well done Rafa, lots to improve on - especially if he is going to beat Gulbis in two rounds time.

sorry about that, and i can't edit the message so it will have to stay there!

[JarodA]

It's true. Nando's got among the most talented serves and forehands on the tour. He spent over 100 weeks in the top 10 in total from AO '09 onwards. AO '09 was his best slam, but his best stretch of results was the 2010 clay season where he reached Monte Carlo F, Rome SF, won Barcelona and reached the final of Nice (), with the only real dip being in Madrid. 2010 was also the only year he won more than one title (he won two ).

But after 2010, it all turned to shit. It started with the '11 San Jose final loss to the then-newcomer Raonic. I think he wasted 4 SPs in the first set TB. That loss marked the day I stopped being a big fan. I've never been the same towards him since then. Then he faced Raonic again the very next week in the first round of the next tournament and lost to him again. All the while, after the San Jose loss, he complained about Raonic's style of play (all serve) and said that it wasn't 'real tennis'. That lead to some ridicule.

He reached (and lost) 2 other finals in 2011 but it was a pretty shit year. 2012 was even worse (only one final), and 2013 is worse still. Even in his best seasons he was still quite inconsistent. His best results were good, but he had stretches for weeks where he'd play like crap, and the amount of matches he's lost while holding SPs, MPs or big leads is quite staggering. If he wasn't such a headcase, you could possibly have added another 50 or so career wins to his tally I reckon. Not to mention more titles. His record in finals is shocking.

Excuse the long post. I love to share my thoughts on Nando .

[iloveryanandjake88]

I honestly think it boils down to confidence. For a man who looks like he has it all he certainly doesn't always carry himself like a man who believes he is a winner. Shame because after yesterday I only see him falling further down the rankings.

[dougmc92]

there's NEVER a guarantee Gulbis will make it 2 rounds- he's kind of the prince of flaking out.....

[iloveryanandjake88]

Sky actually showed Novak playing football shirtless today. Totally unheard of, usually they cut they second one of the guys removes a shirt

[JarodA]

I used to find Novak hot, but I've gone off him. He was always pretty skinny but now he's like, emaciated. I like my men to have a torso like a man, not a boy with lots of body hair . Plus his face ain't all that . Just my opinion.

[AngolaZee]

Yep Djoko upper body needs some beef

- - - Updated - - -

Some recent and maybe one old of Rafa

[tennis6]

That brings us 2 this years surprise runner up @ Delray who has since made an extremely early exit from IW

Edouard Roger Vasselin

[tennis6]

Last but not least after 2 weeks is Misha Zverev who also made an early departure from IW

[asianb]

I agreed. When he was younger there was a great goofy hotness about him.

[iloveryanandjake88]

I'd probably agree I'd like to see a bit more meat on Novak, but I just love his personality and think he is a lovely guy who is great with his fans which makes him so appealing. Also, the way his butt looks in those shorts is amazing. Not sure his shorter hair does him too many favours but he is still one of the hottest out there for me.

There are a lot to choose from though aren't there and every time you guys post some new pics I am left drooling.

[iloveryanandjake88]

Wickmayer has a stubbly, dark haired hottie in her corner? Can you magix up some pics of him tennis6? Preferably with his shirt off!

[dougmc92]

Novak's lean ness is what allows him to be so flexible- he may look too lean- but there isn't an inch of flab- it's all muscle- true, he doesn't look as good- but I'd rather have his results than someone else's ody.

[iloveryanandjake88]

don't get me wrong, me too! His flexibility is pretty awesome too

[DonnieDarko]

Yep Djoko upper body needs some beef

And he need's it why, exactly? He's not gonna get big or bigger. This is how he looks like and there's no point in getting bigger, at least it wouldn't help him with his tennis skills and def not in getting sexier etc. Tennis players tend to be skinny, slim. I'm not counting Tsonga and Nadal and few others in top 20, but most of them are really thin, due to special kind of physical activity in tennis.

Now, about Tsonga. His body is absolutely amazing and he could do all kinds of things with me. I wouldn't mind. Sweaty, smelly, I don't care.

[tennis6]

Well this is the Belgian star's boyfriend...working on a name 4 him

also wanna re-affirm the fact thet tennis players r very skinny...the camera definitely adds lbs 2 their look...even players u think r heavy actually look much slimmer up close & in person...I often hear this mentioned from fans @ the tournaments

here's some nice belly shots of the players @ IW since so far the good shirtless px r few

Sam Querrey, James Blake, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, Lleyton Hewitt & Novak Djokovic

[tennis6]

The boyfriend's name is Jerome Van Der Zijl...Belgian football player but maybe not a very good 1 since there doesn't seem 2b much on the www

[tennis6]

As forecasted the weather has warmed up in the desert...the photo flood gates now seem 2b opened outta IW

Here's some Tommy Haas from several fans

WTH? all I get is Ad for Electric Cigarettes

[dougmc92]

Murray story- BAD LINK!

- - - Updated - - -

maybe that's good- of all the players involved in anything gay- Murray would be at the bottom of my list!

[tennis6]

^musta been spam?

Here's Feliciano Lopez & Grigor Dimitrov from Indian Wells ( both seen sporting the new arm braces)

[dougmc92]

some of these players are getting too ripped- I'm beginning to wonder if the Tour tests for steroids anymore....????

[tennis6]

The ripped 1s seem 2b slipping in the rankings...hmmm

More IW football

[iloveryanandjake88]

Can't believe you found that guy, he is hot.

The picture of Haas sat down perked me up right away, he is in amazing shape.

Andy Murray looks better than ever to me this week.

[tennis6]

^ Yes...kinda surprised though @ the lack of sexy pix from Murray...hoipe that changes soon

Here's Jo

[tennis6]

Fernando said he was taking a flight 2 LA earlier this week...not real sure y

here r some shots of his brief trip 2 IW

[dougmc92]

I never said the steroids made them play better....just look ripped

[tennis6]

I never said the steroids made them play better....just look ripped

I sometimes wonder if some (not mentioning any names Feliciano ooops) feel it is better to look good than to play good?

Got a PM request for Gulbis serve pix...hope these work & yes his motion is a little un-orthodox

[iloveryanandjake88]

Great result for Rafa, definitely playing really well. They can make as many excuses as they want for Federer but you can tell when someone is hitting the ball well and moving comfortably. Nadal will have to play well against Berdych but as was said he's not got a great record against Rafa

I am thrilled he is winning & hope he is not over doing it...he's not playing Miami right?

More pix from the desert...Dimitrov & Wawrinka

[JarodA]

Juan Martin . Now that's a class player. No excess bitchery when things aren't going well, no time-wasting OCD tactics, no snarling faces and over-the-top celebrations. He just gets on with the job in a professional and classy manner. Couldn't be happier at this result . Only thing you could fault him on is taking way too long to challenge, walking up to a mark, looking it over and then challenging. About 10 seconds too late .

Murray played badly though, in the last two sets. Haven't seen him that bad for a long time. But in the end the result counts only, so whatev .
