The New and Improved Tennis Thread

I'm trying to warm to her as a player, but I don't know WTF she was thinking standing at the net like that. It's like she lost her mind for a moment and forgot what country she was from.

 

Big upset for me in the ladies - I thought Ons would win that easily.

 

Early break for Iga. Going to be a short day for Coco if she can’t get the first serve percentage above water.

 

Coco breaks right back.

Good stuff from Woz and Lindsay in the booth — Coco taking MPH’s off the FH and hitting more moon balls with it to try and get Iga out of rhythm.

 

Agreed from the beginning of the match as well. Talked about mentality and a few other items to keep the story going. Also give me Woz over anyone else in the booth.

 

huge hold

coco for sure battling the nerves

 

Iga’s starting to make adjustments. Let’s see if Coco can problem solve past the initial plan.

 

Woz and Courier for the women and men are fantastic for TC. Best in the biz.

 

Iga, man. Just too good, and Coco can’t win despite great tactics if the serve isn’t firing

 

never been a fan of mouratoglou but figures Corey Gauff would latch on to him

he has done a terrible job with tsitsipas

 

Great chips.

 

Starts the last day of July. Washington -> Toronto/Montreal -> Cincy then it's US Open time.

 

I'm trying to hit all four this year. Gonna be a fun late summer.

 

DC you have to be careful with. There’s no shade there and it’s all asphalt. Some days there are flat out miserable, 95, feels like 125. Unless they made some changes? My plan is to watch the weather and look for either an overcast day or through some miracle a dip in temps. Last year it dropped to high 70s there one day and no one else could go with me last minute. Would have been perfect.

 

yep. I’ve been to the citi many times and have a place there so that’s an easy one. I’ve typically gone to the night sessions to avoid the heat.

I live in MI most of the time now and so I’m going to drive to cincy and my bachelor party happens to be in Montreal at the same time as that tourney so it all came together nicely.

 

depends on if he gets bageled

 

Yeah, he's got about 20 minutes to turn this set around or that's it. Full credit to Ruud on a great comeback at this event, though - I was nearly writing the guy off for 2023.

 

Thought there was a chance Holger just decided not to come back out from the bathroom.

 

Well, well. Some life finally from Rune, and the crowd fully behind him.

 

Very high likelihood I take Novak to beat Carlos.

 

at what number?

 

To a 4th set we go.

 

Best I have access to right now is +172. My guess is Circa will be closer to +180 tonight.

 

In a semifinal

 

totally missed the laver cup being in vancouver this year

wish i didnt have something else already planned for then

 

Gonna take Haddad Maia in some way, shape, or form. Her best tennis is against the best opponents imo.

10/1. People need to stop trying to make iga into prime Serena. (And Carlos ain’t Nadal while we are at it)

 

Just my opinion but I think Iga will beat her eeeeeeasily. She moves a LOT better on court than Ons.

 

yes - people should not compare Iga to Serena in her prime. She moves way better than Serena ever did

 

I'm sitting on Iga to win the whole tournament without dropping a set so I wish you the worst, but 10/1 is wild

I'll put it this way, if BHM wins a set I'll root for you in the third

 

I’m planning to go to Cincy too but I also live here

 

Serena had only a career grand slam in singles and doubles by the time she was Iga’s age but yes iga is the goat.

 

is anyone actually saying this or are you making up arguments in your head?

 

My point is about betting lines being out of whack with her.
