The New and Improved Tennis Thread

Only reason I will disagree is that I enjoy catching as much as possible. At times, during 1000s, there's too much going on.

 

That’s a whale of a set from Coco Gauff

 

Not good Coco.

 

Coco really needed to end this in two.

 

Tommy Paul pushes Alcaraz to a third set. Great effort from him so far

 

COCO!

 

Good Coco.

 

Tommy Paul gets it done! Awesome match.

 

Some insane shots by Kyrgios to get the break in the 3rd.

 

Nice win for Nick.

 

Man what a performance from Nick.

 

Jack Draper beats Tsitsipas who looked like shit.

 

And Kyrgios definitely broke him mentally.

 

The serving in this match has been horrific for both of them.

 

I am exhausted by this match.

 

Coco!!

 

And did it by beating Mertens, Kvitova, Coco, Pegula and Pliskova. Just redlined for a whole week

 

Coco needs to tighten shit up and start killing people. She's like Andreescu, spends way too much time on court.

Also, not sure if anyone caught it, but had a pretty cool factoid on Pegula and Giorgi. Their first match against each other was in 2011. I kind of did a triple take on that one.

 

Big win for Pegula. Looked like one-way traffic early on

 

Down goes Iga. Wow

 

Nick is melting.

 

Then breaks right back to end it. Odd bird, but playing some unreal tennis

 

Haha yeah that was strange.

Never realized how big Zheng was.

 

And really athletic too. She’s going to be good.

 

Yeah she’s definitely going to be a problem as long as China doesn’t ruin her or make her disappear.

 

Glad for Andreescu she won that US Open bc her other performances are not so great. People give Sabalenka a lot of shit but she’s way more consistent.

 

She’s also healthy, Andreescu lives on the training table.

 

I’m of the mindset that “healthy” is relative. All of these players are banged up and some choose to play through it (Nadal) while others don’t.

 

I’m not really concerned about Bibi at all. She had a good grass swing, played well this week in Toronto. Just needs to stay healthy and keep out there. From a talent perspective, she can hang with anyone.

 

Right, wasn’t implying any different. Some can’t do it and she may be in that category. Regardless she did it when it counted most I guess. Also, mentioned her when watching Coco earlier in the week. All of this can be mitigated if you don’t spend 2.5 hours on the court every day. Easier said than done certainly, but they both possess the skill to bury people. You could probably correlate the same to Sakkari and Sabalenka. For them it’s probably more just volume of court time going deep frequently. More so last year, this year they haven’t been half as consistent.

 

Nick should probably skip Cincy next week. He’s played a ton of tennis this summer and it showed today.

 

He’s legit, man. Just got a Cincy main draw WC today as well.

 

Coco! Breaks Halep as she serves for the match.
