Hey,

I can't believe no one here is talking about the Roland Garros 2009!

What a hell of a tournament it has been...

Yesterday, the biggest upset since 10 years or so happened. Robin Soderling beat the world number 1 Rafael Nadal!

Also, Azarenka beat Ana Ivanovic (the women's defending champion).

I hope Federer wins it now, but he hasn't been playing with a lot of intensity, or focus it seems... very choppy play, maybe it's due to the conditions. Then again, he gets stronger as tournaments progess. I wonder if he'll feel more pressure now that Nadal is out. My argument against Federer is that it seems when he gets beat, he usually seems to beat himself... rather than the opponent doing anything other than showing up and playing hard (mental breakdowns imo), so that could occur now. Hopefully not, but it is something I'd look for in his first match after this big upset with Nadal gone.

On the other hand, I do find it funny that people were jumping on federer for having a difficult time this first week, but at least he's still in the tournament.

This was so impressive. Not just dealing with the pressure, but coming back from behind so often... you can argue that he should've never fallen so far behind in matches, but he really fought back throughout the tournament

Today was just domination. On part because the opponent was new to the atmosphere, but also... Roger was on his game today

I personally think Roger choked in Australia, but had he not done that against Nadal, I think he'd have a legitimate chance to win all 4 titles this year.

Hopefully he wins Wimbeldon and beats Pete Sampras's record. That would be a fitting way to do it. It started at Wimbeldon for Roger (beating Sampras), and he beats Sampras's record in Wimbeldon... full circle

Hahahah, its pretty awesome if you ask me

If it was something like Drogba getting that kind of treatment from a Liverpool fan you'd be the first to start whingeing about lack of class and what have you, so what makes this any more acceptable? The poor guy is just trying to play a game of tennis, being treated that way is bang out of order. Some people get very out of hand when it comes to sport and that kind of thing can be both dangerous and very scary.

Congrats to roger on his record equalling title, I would guess though that at some point before he retires that he would get a bit more satisfaction if he can take the title again and take out Nadal somewhere on the road.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I feel like Surface devices were popular about 10 years ago but have fallen off hard. I can't remember the last time someone talked about a new model Surface with excitement. The fact that the headline here is a new wallpaper and not the device is a bit telling.

      Weirldy, in Texas the age of consent is 17, not 18.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      DXVK generally performs better on Linux (using Wine/Proton) than on Windows. Because Linux utilizes highly optimized, open-source Vulkan drivers (like RADV/ACO) that were specifically built for AMD Radeon hardware, the translation of Direct3D 9/11 to Vulkan is highly efficient. But if you take the trouble to watch my video, you can see that there are also advantages for Nvidia users. You see that I run Assassin's Creed Odyssey on 4GB RAM and on an i3-3240. What do you think are the minimum system requirements for windows11? For CPU-based rendering, Linux is generally faster than windows11 by about 15% due to lighter background overhead and efficient kernel scheduling.

      Reluctantly..bs. In this day and age(pun intended) information is more valuable then apps; big tech worked with the GOP and in dem states like California to add this crap so they can agro better marketing data.
