There are other smaller supporters groups. This year they decided that only the south end would be used as a supporters section

The Whitecaps designated the north end as a family zone and moved all the supporters groups into the south end. That's a big reason for the north being so quiet

It is on spac, they cut away from baseball for it

I am a Djokovic fan, but I have nothing to be mad about. I've just seen enough of Roger's post-match interviews to notice that he avoids giving other (at least established) players credit when he loses, unlike Nadal and Djokovic who are very quick to praise their opponent win or lose. They have more class than Roger can even dream of. He's a great player but he absolutely cannot handle losses. Losing to Djokovic 2009 in Miami: Class. There's also dodging compulsory military service because he has a bad back. I just have to question how he can be such a dominating player while being too injured to live up to his duty as a Swiss citizen. Here's one about something that doesn't concern him in the slightest: http://www.telegraph...er-Federer.html Like I said, he's a great player and nobody can deny that. I think very little of him as a person though. His whole "nice guy" imagine looks incredibly manufactured and fake. Look just a tiny bit beneath it and he comes off as really bitter and snobby

Roger is nice and humble when he's winning. When he loses he's pissy and cries about the way his opponent plays, rarely gives credit to his opponents, talks crap about others and things that don't concern him in the slightest

Yeah looks like you're right. I could've sworn that they said that they already had a roster spot though..

Based on everything I've heard recently they already had a roster spot for Robson and didn't need to get rid of anybody for him

He lost to Nadal twice.. Once last year and once in 2010

Melzer takes the 2nd set tie break! Raonic is good, but he still has a lot to learn. I think people need to quit hyping him up so much

Melzer takes the first.. So much for Raonic being guaranteed the match

The reason being that he's only played small tournaments in which he's only played 2 top 10 players which aren't much of a threat at all (Almagro and Tipsarevic). Almagro's never done much away from a clay court and Tipsarevic is good but incredibly inconsistent.

The ranking system is all the points you've acumulated from tournaments over the past 12 months. He made it to the 4th round last year, so that was 180 points. The points from the australian open are basically replaced by the points he got this year.. Since he only made it to the 3rd round this year, he only earned 90 points. So since he did worse than last year, he actually effectively lost 90 points

WOW! i don't think anybody saw this coming!

I think Nole takes it in 4

Djokovic definitely looks more comfortable than Murray, but they're both committing a lot more unforced errors than I'd expect from either of them. Nole breaks to start the 2nd set!

I don't like watching players who just rely on their serve either (like Karlovic or Isner), but that's not really what I meant. They just don't have any consistency at all. The double fault count is very high way too often and especially on big points. Guys like Federer and Djokovic for example don't have the best serves and certainly don't rely on them to win, but they still have the serve as a weapon. They're capable of digging deep and pulling out a huge serve when necessary. Part of that is their skill and part of it is mental strength. I find that many of the women currently on tour lack the latter and as a result their serves are a liability instead of an advantage

It's womens tennis.. Holding serve is the equivalent of breaking serve in the mens game, at least for this crop of players

it was never gonna happen with Djokovic waiting in the 4th round

The Southsiders sit in the south side (hence the name), and they're off to the side instead of directly behind the net because of the way the Whitecaps decided to price the tickets. They're in a cheaper section so that they wouldn't exclude people who can't pay for more expensive seats. You keep referring to it as the "far corner" though.. It was only that because of where you sat. The Timbers Army were in the "far corner" for everyone who sat near the Southsiders, so I'm not really sure what you mean by that The Caps "dominated" possession (almost 62%) but they couldn't create anything out of it. For a good part of the match it looked like most of the players have never played with each other before. They looked like they didn't have any chemistry at all

That's a big part of why they come through clearer on TV though. I was in section 230 (same end as the timbers army but other corner) and the Southsiders seemed to start off a bit slow but really picked it up during the first half. In the 2nd half things were pretty dead though. I guess that's what happens when your team looks like they aren't putting any effort in at all

The timbers army was much closer to the mics

Serena needs to be hit hard this time since she's still on probation from 2 years ago Only $2000.. what a joke!

Camilo did an amazing job staying on his feet and HE gets called for a foul?! what the frack?!

He beat Nadal 4 times and Federer 3 times

Nobody has anything to say about Djokovic's incredible 37 match streak to start the season (39 overall)? Not to mention being the only player to beat Nadal on clay twice in the same year
