The New and Improved Tennis Thread

nice gritty win by Coco to advance

 

She can really fight. What a battle. Bring on Osaka.

 

Lol. Whole crowd audibly goes "OHH" when the interviewer says she's playing Naomi next.

 

Drama on the men’s side. Sinner out, Berrettini down two sets to Sandgren, Grigor down a set to Tommy Paul.

 

Tommy up two sets on Grigor. Really fun match, shotmaking at its best.

 

Nothing like a coffee with a Fognini meltdown.

 

70 winners/77 unforced errors by Fabio. A masterpiece.

 

Big wins for Paul and Sandgren. Paul has been playing really well lately.

 

Two racket punches.

 

love it for Tommy Paul

 

Fabio's red knuckles were hilarious

 

Tommy's comeback in the fifth set was incredible. He was gassed. Kinda feel bad for Grigor.

 

Have you mad an introduction thread yet?

 

Jimmy Arias, who runs tennis at IMG, on TC Live right now saying the folks at USTA Development were saying before the match last night that they thought Tommy Paul was about to break out and become the lead guy of the young Americans.

For one night, at least, prediction looks good.

 

Fun one to start the day on Maragret Court with Bencic-Ostapenko.

 

Berrettini is dating Tomljanovic now, apparently. Good for him.

 

Hope him and Nick play this season.

 

Expect him to improve with better tournament showings this year.

 

Osaka-Gauff at 3AM? Bleh

 

Khachanov wins a wild one in a match tiebreak over Ymer, setting up a banger R3 of Khachanov-Kyrgios.

 

Came to post, and should be late there so we can catch it. Been getting to sleep early and waking up at 330-400. Not on purpose just my clock.

 

Fritz with a great comeback 5 setter win against Anderson too. The American men are finally showing up a bit.

I’d be a big fan of Fritz/Paul taking the torch from the shithead Isner/Sandgren crew.

 

I wish Sandgren wasn't such a piece of shit. He's a good story of perseverance, but so unlikeable that it's just wasted.

 

Yea, I find myself rooting against him. Then just switch to other matches to avoid him altogether.

 

Wang about to serve for the first set against Serena.

 

Like awarded for Wang.

 

And she takes the first set. Serena upped the energy that last game, but not good enough. Not moving as well as she was the first two rounds.

 

I’m not the biggest Serena fan, but I think she deserves the record. And Margaret Court is repugnant, so getting her out of the top spot would be nice too.

 

Lol

 

Wang serving for it. Feels like Serena has a break of serve of her own coming, but we’ll see.

 

Yep. Serena breaks. Holy hell, that rally on break point.

 

damn

 

Lol, Woz.

 

Down goes Serena. Wow.

 

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

 

Really well. Serena wasn’t at her best, but Wang had to earn that one. Serena didn’t give it to her.

 

Sakkari up a set on Madi.

 

Coco up a set and a break now...

 

That was...wow. Disaster from Naomi. Coco had to just not wreck the car and she didn’t.
