SC I think my 2nd worst prediction in this thread (First is Medvedev was nothing but a short temper big server. I will never look that dumb). Whitney Osuigwe has not come along at all. I thought she was going to be very good
I’d love to know what has happened with her. She got right around the top-100 and it looked like the breakout was coming, and then it just…didn’t. Qualified for the Aussie this year if I remember right and then lost her form again. One of the few young female Americans to not make the jump.
Emil has had to fight in every one of his service games to hold and Paire can't break him. We might have a Paire implosion soon
I just looked up her Major appearences 2018 - 1st Round US Open (Wild Card) - Giorgi 1st Rounder 2019 - 1st Round Australian (Wild Card) - Bibi 1st Rounder 2019 - 1st Round US Open (Wild Card) - Svitolina 1st Rounder 2020 - 1st Round US Open - Kozlova 1st Rounder 2021 - 1st Round Australian Open QUALIFIED - Mertens 1st Rounder Tough draws for a young person but what I saw 3 years ago, she had the talent
Paire meltdown ensuing. I dont get why because he won the 1st set. No effort. If he didn't do this all the time, I swear he was fixing the match
In case you were confused before, Wendel, I thought Bencic was Canadian for some reason. I think I confused her with Bibi. Hey, it's been a tough week in lockdown, okay?
We were pretty lucky, really - we had a few community cases Mon/Tues of last week so we we went into a 7 day lockdown from last Wed. Would have been fine except we had to work from home and I'm not set up very well for it. Much better situation than NSW which has COVID running rampant and been in a sort of LD for about a month already with no signs of ending.
If you’re just waking up turn on semis. In the third, broke Novak to start third and just went up 2-0.
Sasha really fucking did it. Took him 6-1 in the third. No medical time outs, no gifts, he really just crushed the ball on the serve and then just hit all the corners. Best I’ve ever seen him play.
I will never say anything bad about Zverev again in my life. Okay, of course I will. He's a douche - not in the same league as Djokovic, but a douche nonetheless. But for today at least, I love that douche.
So what's your call, guys? Did he just get really, really greedy in playing the mixed as well and ran out of gas? Man, that karma bus really does exist, doesn't it.
I only watched the third set so some may have a different perspective if they watched all. Sasha was just really good. He was absolutely crushing the ball and not making mistakes. Novak didn’t stand half a chance to get to a ton of balls. You might see some unforced error narratives out there, but it was not easy shots he was dealing with. When he wasn’t hitting winners he had him running all over the place.
Sasha honestly had looked amazing all week. But still can’t believe it especially down a set and a break
Thrilled to see Pavs and Rublev into the Mixed Gold Medal match. Those two have been a blast this week
my only hope is that I see Sasha doing the heart throwing celebration to an empty stadium with no fans
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! From two possible golds to bupkiss in the course of a few hours. I'm telling you - too much tennis in a short amount of time. He just got super greedy and paid for it.
3 years ago, I think we all thought he'd be the biggest Russian star. Just hasn't put it all together. Has a lot of talent
Preach. Rub that shit in. Be just as patronizing as that lunatic is. Wink at his wife. Blow kisses at her.
