The New and Improved Tennis Thread

One down.

 

Sabalenka has taken a noticeable step forward from a mental standpoint. Much more under control, calm in big moments, just letting the power play.

Hoping she gets it done Saturday.

 

Overall just a horrible major. I still enjoyed it, but as far as power rankings go, this isn’t high on the list.

 

None of the three set matches were even especially interesting. They were all like 6-3, 1-6, 6-2. So yeah it went to third sets but they were still mostly easy sets

 

And as much as I like Murray, watching him as a 75 year old with one hip doesn’t do it for me.

 

Men’s side most fun to watch for me were Korda. (When healthy), Lehecka, and Nishioka (when not completely breaking down). Paul vs Davidovich-Fokina was also a good one

 

Learner Tien into the Aussie Open Boys Final. Took a set off Kecmanovic at the US Open last year after winning the USTA 18’s Natty while being only 16.

Will head back home and play for Southern Cal this spring.

 

Buckle up

 

Took tsitsipas -3.5 games. Giving back the break was not cool for me

 

Got live Khachanov ML +220

 

Tsitsipas shaken up a bit. But maybe the serve violation was what he needed to wake up

 

Is this match really going to turn on a center line extended foot fault?

 

jesus christ what a point

 

i was annoyed by the camera angle. But goodness.

 

I loved it. I thought it was the prefect point for it

 

Oh no stef wat is u doin

 

holy shit those two shots couldn't have been more than 6 inches in

 

Wild

 

The choke is on

 

6 inches is huge. Pretty sure they both hit the outside of the line.

 

I mean I agree but they were on the far side of the court and never showed a replay so I didn't want to exaggerate

 

Stef up a break what could go wrong

 

That’s why I went alt spread folks

 

wake up everybody, Djokovic looks human

 

Probably just having a sook that daddy had to take a stupidity-imposed holiday. Don't get excited, it won't last.

 

it's already over

 

I took over 28.5 games live.. let’s hope Tommy can show some fight

 

A welcome break.


Tommy over 1.5 breaks was +160, Novak o4.5 was -185.

 

Back on serve WOW!

 

Now I want to middle but am going to hold off.

anything for you yet ohhai?

 

I just grabbed Djoker to win 3-0 at +100. If he's going to lose a set he better lose the whole match

 

A fucking five-break set, jesus christ

 

I could have had u35.5 too :/

 

Both guys sub 60% first serve… doubt that holds up

 

I hope all the Greeks in Melbourne come out for the final and give this guy heaps. Because that would be a LOT of Greeks.

 

Joker looking… tired?

 

If you bet against Djokovic just remember that he plays games. He will exert the minimum amount of effort and energy possible in a lot of cases. I hate him, but it’s honestly one thing I do admire about him.

 

Tommy is completely mentally out of it

 

Was talking to a friend who doesn’t bet tennis. Told him I’d prob take o13.5 aces tonight if I had to take something pre. Of course I waited and now it’s up to 14.5 :/
