ATP 250 Halle, Queens 6/11-6/17 2012

[Ribbons]

Phooey. Cilic is on my Green Acres team, but I would have loved to see Lu go deeper.

Is that a fact? I had no idea. So they're just re-jiggering the seeds that would normally be there?

ATP takes the top 32 and then applies their specific formula giving more weight to grass points the last two years.

WTA just does whatever the hell they want, so Venus or Clijsters might get a low seed. I imagine they won't do anything this year.

haas has taken the first set off of federer on a tie break

[MeganFernandez]

Why is Tennis Channel tape-delaying this match??!! On now: Haas/PEHK.

[James7]

Huh... Haas won. Seems like that would be a real treat for the locals. And great for Haas who has always been so, so unlucky.

[Ti-Amie]

******************Spoiler Alert*********************

I think Tennis Channel is showing this match on delay in the States.





















Tommy Haas, showing no fear, routines Federer in the second set to take the match 7-6(5), 6-4.

[Charlie02123]

Shut your gosh dang mouth!! What a wacky result.

[Edmond Dantès]

Nalbandian just disqualified. His serve was broken and he kicked out at a small sponsor board that was right in front of a line judge (at his feet)....thus injuring the line judge (not seriously).

Terrible ending for all concerned.

[funkstar]

Nalbandian just lost Queens, on a code violation. He kicked a small barrier in front of a line umpire, the barrier broke up and hit the umpire, drawing blood. Default.

He was up a set, too.

(Edit: damn, that's twice in two days...)
