I’ve been cracking up all week following @opengstaad, the most dramatic tennis tournament Twitter account I’ve ever encountered. Here’s a sample of their best tweets:
You’re a disappointment, Bellucci!
What a disappointment. Last year champion Thomaz BELLUCCI looses his first round match against Frederico DELBONIS in straight sets 5-7 6-7.

“Foreign opponents.”
Court 1, the swiss Team, CHIUDINELLI and LAAKSONEN, loses to their foreign opponents, MERGEA (ROU) and ROSOL (CZE) 6-2, 6-4.

Sending a message.
WAWRINKA sends a message as he strikes a thundering forehand down the line. 0-15.

Everyone is dismal!
A dismal dropshot by GIMENO-TRAVER is countered by an even more dismal backhand by WAWRINKA. Back to deuce.

Trouble is looming everywhere!
Double fault by GIMENO-TRAVER, 0-30. Trouble seems to be looming.

Trouble looming for FEDERER on his own serve, 0-30.
— CASuisse Open Gstaad (@opengstaad) July 25, 2013
Trouble now looming for the Swiss, 0-30.

Another long rally goes LOPEZ' way, 0-30. Trouble looming for HERNYCH…

Even this Twitter account is bored with Robin Haase.
Since the match began nothing special happened. HAASE leads by 3:2

Awkward.
A hard-fought game comes to an awkward end as WAWRINKA is fooled by LOPEZ' netcord. 4-2 lead for the Spaniard.

Step it up, Feli.
Easy hold for WAWRINKA as LOPEZ clearly not putting lots of effort into breaking the Swiss' serve yet again as he serves for the set next.

Stan Wawrinka is dying, apparently.
WAWRINKA's lifeline gets thinner and thinner as a backhand sails wide. 40-AD

Worrying parallels.
Some might be inclined to draw a parallel between the BRANDS-FEDERER match played yesterday – are you?
— CASuisse Open Gstaad (@opengstaad) July 26, 2013
WAWRINKA seems to have a back problem which is looked after by a physician on court at the moment – another worrying parallel to FEDERER
