Performance enhancing dog food?

Always said she was a beast, this proves it. And this statement, “I don’t think it’s consumable for humans. They should have wrote that,” - what do you need to be told not to eat dog food ffs ya silly mare!?!

Andy Murray becomes ATP mens winner with a comfortable 2-0 win against Djokovich.

Match point was absolutely disgusting, worth a watch!

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye well done Andy, really in some good form just now.

Will try to set up a Fantasy game for the French Open but doesn't seem to be one open atm.

Federer out of Roland Garros. First time he's missed a GS this century.

 

[SALTIRE]

Wow that's big as he always makes himself available for the majors.

 

[Munkiki]

Knew this day had to come eventually. A run of 65 consecutive grand slam appearances comes to an end. First time he'll miss a GS since the 1999 US Open.

 

[Super_horns]

Maybe the start of the end sadly?

You're a stats man Munkiki, is that run a record? Surely so.

 

[Leewilson]

I'll get the French Open fantasy game up and running in the next day or two. Hope to see the usual lot and maybe even more take part!

 

[Munkiki]

Sure is. Not sure if it'll stand for long . Active streaks: Feliciano Lopez (34yr) on 56, Verdasco (32yr) 51, Berdych (30yr) 50, Djokovic (28yr) 45. Obviously it's hard to tell, different players fall apart at different ages. It's a record across both men's and women's at the moment though - the longest run on the women's side being Ai Sugiyama's 62 (and the closest active streak is Jankovic on 49).

I tried to look for it but nothing for the French Open came up - maybe you will have better luck (which you probably will!)

Don't think the qualifiers have quite finished, perhaps it'll be up when they're all done?

And anybody else I've missed.

 

[SALTIRE]

I keep forgetting about it then the tournament starts before I get the chance to do my picks! Will get on it tonight but haven't been watching the tennis that much since I dropped Sky Sports. Think the French Open is on Eurosport though so should be able to watch it easily enough as I don't like missing much of the slams.

 

[Super_horns]

ITV 4 too I think.

Have to put up with Inverdale on that though I expect!

 

[Krazy8]

Better notify TomPNE94 he does this sometimes doesn't he?

Cheers bro

 

[TomPNE94]

Fuck I missed the deadline

 

[Super_horns]

Well its more like Wimbledon than the French Open at the moment but then with the roof we'd at least have some play!

Just as well they start a day early...

 

[SALTIRE]

Wow Andy two sets down against Stepanek here.

 

[Super_horns]

In typical Murray style he is fighting back well.

Good win for Kyle Edmund and Heather Watson came from behind too to win her match.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah he was upping his game and Stepanek was happy to resume it tomorrow. Looking good for a fifth setter shootout.

 

[Carver]

Yes Murray is FINALLY through to round 2.

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye he never does things easy does he! Anyway, onto round 2.

I can see Murray cruising to the semi's now.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Andy's been taken to five sets again.
