The New and Improved Tennis Thread - Hard Court Szn

Any idea why? It’s a standard nickname for Alexander of Russian descent.

 

Yeah he doesn't want to be seen as Russian I guess

 

Tough shit with that last name Sasha

 

Nobody else watching on a weekend? :-(

 

uh oh a hamstring grab

 

I might not make it through but I am. depends on how this set goes

I've been getting crushed on my bets so I'm less motivated

 

I intended on being up for the start but just woke at 5 local.

 

Most fascinating part of the big 3(4) for me is just this. It’s equally as amazing at the lack of nothing competition. I know they crushed souls but the longevity can only be attributed to the competition IMO. Obviously doesn’t take anything away, just interesting to me.

 

point of the tournament :O

 

that might be enough to kill off Alexander

 

Pretty dumb they cut off the trophy celebration and it’s only on in Spanish.

 

Yeah, what was up with that

 

No idea at all, guess they want to get all their arguments started for the day. They have like 75 avenues to show the ceremony and they decided Spanish only was the way to go.

 

Sinner lost one match between his US Open victory and today. Carlos got him in China.

if I was working today I’d dig a little deeper, so maybe tomorrow.

 

Not the most inspired final

 

Watching my replay, that freaking net cord winner from Sinner at 4-4 in the 2nd set tiebreak was such bad luck. Zverev lost any chance of the win on that point

 

the mandatory fake apology after that just makes it worse too

 

only the third gs final in the open era where the winner never faced break point apparently

 

idk if anyone saw it but a woman started screaming at zverev during his part about his domestic abuse cases (“Australia believes Olya and Branda” )

 

Can’t stand.

 

He’s a dudes dude.

 

And completely impossible to bet on

 

Yes but also Rublev is lost and the draw wasn’t exactly murderers row. Happy for him though. Nice to see a forgotten American north of 25

 

they gave him a game penalty to end the match? wtf

 

I mean it's absolutely a default right?

 

I guess if you’re in the home crowd, otherwise I’d rather watch a 250 anywhere. Not even mildly interesting to me and maybe that’s my hot take?

 

wouldn't doctors clear the ball girls and line judges hit at the USO and RG the last few years too?

 

Saw that yesterday afternoon and wasn’t sure what was going on. All American battle is the only thing I can think of.

 

ranking jumped by 532 spots after the win!! Although he did lose the next round of qualifier.

 

I have a hard time believing anything that relates to the doping agency.

 

Belinda destroyed 6-0 6-0, damn.
