The New and Improved Tennis Thread

Finally been healthy for a sustained amount of time. Bad knee injury and a hip surgery looked like it was going to wreck her game.

 

That’s honestly pathetic from Krajinovic

 

Daniil 5th set bagel

 

Why are we doing post-match interviews on court in an empty stadium?

 

Actually yeah, maybe a bit silly, huh? But I guess it's for TV as we don't usually see the presser afterwards so at least it's something.

 

Rafa broken in the first. That’s going to piss him off.

 

It did, got it right back.

 

Really disappointing performance from Demon - I expected a lot better against Cockhead Fognini but he's been smashed.

 

Fognini has really been accurate. He’s playing some good tennis.

 

Big one to start the day. Osaka-Garbine on TC.

 

I will be pulling for Garbine but think this will be all Osaka

then Thiem can demolish Dimitrov at Rod Laver

 

Lots of pained looks from Djokovic after he loses a point as he wins in straight sets.

 

Even “injured”, I won’t believe Novak loses to Milos Raonic at a Slam until I actually see it happen.

 

Well well. Garbine breaks and will serve for the first set at 5-4

 

Naomi in deep shit now. I thought Mugu had the kind of game to bother her - just so solid and a great counter hitter.

 

Garbine's return of serve just ridiculous at the moment. Naomi serving thunderbolts and they keep coming back.

 

Wow - and just like that, it's a set all.

I don't suppose Naomi's middle name starts with 'k'? Then I could legitimately say "NKO out of nowhere!"

 

Wow. Hsieh to the QF’s.

 

Just makes the reward for the winner of this match even bigger, you'd think.

 

Absolutely.

 

My Tennis Life: Tennys Sandgren seems...risky.

 

Naomi DF’s on break point.

 

Such great tennis from Garbine under pressure.

 

Muguruza broken serving for the match

 

Brutal for Garbine. Doesn’t covert two match points and then broken serving for the match.

 

This is a fun match

 

OSAKA! Let’s go!

 

What a turnaround. Insane level of play from Osaka

 

Choke city.

 

God that was awesome tennis.

 

Hell of a match

 

Love Naomi. “Ummmm that wasn’t a question.....”

 

So how do you bet on these matches? Post the juice and bet like thiem -370 or - however many games?

 

I’m more a -370 guy myself. That said I enjoy the over unders on the men’s matches in majors. I generally throw at least 2 on a parlay but usually 3 or more.

 

Cahill says 50/50 on Novak playing but thinks he’s going to go.

 

It’s king douche, no way I believe it’s anything other than narrative until I see otherwise.

 

Serena looks like she’s ready to push a bob sled.

 

Jesus christ, Cahill - way to burn your credibility. There's no f-ing way he's not playing.

 

That’s where I’m at too. The only thing that gave me a little pause is Chris McKendry said all the broadcast networks were promised they’d get word by 1 AM US ET on Novak.

 

This match is awesome. Kickass power tennis.

 

Love sabalenka.

 

You’d think Serena is up big on Sabalenka the way that Chrissie Everet is talking about the match.

 

Serena forces a break and takes the set 6-4

 

Sabalenka is impressive
