Bertens out.

Sinner takes the first set off of Zverev.

 

Sinner up two sets now

 

Just curious but are y’all just big time tennis fans or did/do you still play? I played in HS, but haven’t played in quite awhile now.

 

Both. Try to play 1-2 times per week and enjoy watching it.

 

Sinner!! What a roll he is on.

 

Played a little growing up but moreso have always enjoyed watching the sport.

 

Ummm...

 

Reslly glad it took me until the fourth round to realize I could be watching in 4K smh

 

I believe it was Novak yesterday who said in press the bubble is a farce. He was on the elevator in the hotel with like a random family who had rented a room and were traveling.

 

Diego v. Thiem should have some great rallies.

 

lmao Thiem gets a let court winner to save set point

 

Gaston!

 

Gaston!

 

Not great, FFT.

 

Gaston looks like he’s just gone for a light Sunday morning jog while Thiem looks like he’s back at the US Open final

 

Ah damn. That'll likely do it.

 

Rublev-Stef next round. Cannot wait

 

Novak broken serving for the first set.

 

Khachanov broken and Novak takes the set. Can’t do that, Karen

 

I have a guy I follow on Twitter that just makes gifs, beautiful gifs. He's had his account shut down on Twitter at least 5 or 6 times. It makes zero sense to me why any league or organization would want less exposure. The only thing I can imagine is that it's just bored lawyers or some random dolt with a power trip.

I would think the smart move would be to hire the person. Obviously their content is top tier if you are trying to shut them down.

 

I blocked some photographer from guitar magazine on Instagram after she went on some long-winded rant about it being unfair for people to copy her work and give her credit but not pay her for it. Like really she should've been happy people were seeing it at all since she mostly works for a magazine.

Also just finished watching Kenin come back to win in 3 sets. Damn impressive

 

No surprise, but this Collins-Jabeur match is feisty.

 

Svitolina broken twice already.

 

So one of Podoroska, Swiatek or Trevisan will make a Slam final here. Incredible. Think/hope it’s Swiatek.

 

Wow. Diego dominates the first set TB and is up a set early on Thiem.

 

French authorities opening an investigation into potential match-fixing in a women’s doubles match at the French Open.

“The target is a doubles match featuring Romanian pair Andreea Mitu and Patricia Maria Tig, and Yana Sizikova of Russia and her American partner, Madison Brengle.”

Here’s the game in question. This is...pretty blatant.

 

The first double fault was bad. What else about it is blatant?
