The New and Improved Tennis Thread

Another Pegula victim. Wow

 

Looking at an All-American QF matchup if Brady can take care of business tonight

 

Holy shit - Berretini out injured & Tsits gets a walkover tonight.

Hey Djoke, do I need to state the bleeding fucking obvious? That's what an injury looks like - you don't even get on court, you goddamn drama queen.

 

And tonight's women's matches are already done and Barty's dream run continues. This is looking like a repeat of the 2019 French where she played NO ONE in winning the title. I guess Hsieh is winning through from the bottom half?

 

Well no morning tennis. Walkover.

 

man Rublev v Daniil is going to be spicy

 

Serena-Simona the 3 AM match tonight.

 

Looks like Sashas in the news/social media again lying about his baby momma. Djoker is a douche but Sasha appears to be a psychopath.

 

I think those two terms and individuals are fairly interchangeable. The good news is that one of them loses today.

 

All right, let's see if Osaka is the one to solve the Hsieh puzzle.

 

Karetsev completely melting down

 

Well this has been a complete reversal. Looks like Dimitrov might retire

 

Utter madness - Karatsev into the semis.

Something I have NEVER seen or heard of - Dimitrov walked off court in the middle of the rally on set point down in the 3rd. I mean, WTF?

 

Did you miss the rest of it? He played 3 games without moving. His back is fucked

 

I haven't seen any of it - I'm just checking scores & reading reports of the match as I'm currently working. Hearing he was injured explains things somewhat.

That said, it doesn't change the fact he still walked off during a set point. And THEN played another set! You don't find that bizarre?

 

Having watched the whole thing, no.

He conceded the third set after a break and in the final two games all but served underhand. His intention was to get to the set break to get treatment

He got treatment between sets and was a little better but never hit 100 serving, got a little more treatment but it wasn't enough. Gave it a go though

 

Zverev broken serving for the first. Choke city.

 

Great tiebreak for both guys and Zverev pulls it out. Had to have it.

 

And then gets broken to start the 2nd.

 

HUGE racket smash at 1-3, AD down for Novak in the 3rd set. Holy hell.

 

And I think it's all over for Zverev. Down 2 sets, I just can't see him coming back into this match.

 

And naturally he breaks him to start the fourth and is up 3-0. If it goes five I give him less than 1% chance.

 

Zverev’s been a mental midget in these service games up a break all match. Happened again there.

 

Man I am stunned Karatsev won but should not be given its Dimitrov

 

Zverev 2 points from set, so naturally Djoke will now win in 4...

 

This match is just nuts. Makes no sense.

 

TB predictions? I'm going to be generous & give Zverev 3 points.

 

Damn wish I could take a six hour nap today and not work at all tomorrow.

 

Big alpha boy in his sleeveless shirt fails in the big spots all match. Bleh.

 

Djokovic into the finals, depth on the men’s side is such a joke but I do like the story. I’d be interested in seeing the numbers but this has to be the longest Novak has ever been on the court before AO finals appearance.

 

Well, tried my best with a bunch of reverse jinxes but they were all no good. Wendel needs to give me lessons.

At least Zverev lost.

 

"I'll take 'Never Won a Slam' for $2000, Alex".

 

Fuck Djokovic. Medvedev is our only hope.

 

Need the ruskies to go 5 sets

 

Excited for Brady-Pegula tonight. Think the winner, especially Brady, has a real shot against Barty assuming she wins tonight as well

 

I really wish they would have staggered the men women today. That said I work on international shit all the time and Australian time in relation to here always fucks me up.

 

Barty serves up a first set breadstick.

 

LOL.
