The New and Improved Tennis Thread

Barty just slices her opponents into submission. Feel like she hardly ever drives the backhand. Keeps her in points forever.

 

Nice shot of that person in the crowd chilling under the Australian flag during the Federer-Sandgren match

 

Really glad they have a camera for chair judge close-ups

 

Well, it’s never boring with Roger lately, for better or worse.

 

*Pokes Roger with a stick*

 

Roger is in big trouble.

 

Ugh Roger is spraying his forehand. Never a good sign.

 

Nice rally there

 

God that chair judge is cute.

 

This chair umpire though

 

Lol Rog not pleased at the line judge narc’ing on him.

 

what’d he supposedly say?

 

croatian I believe. She’s the best.

 

Shit. In German possibly

Edit: was going off the commentary talking about knowing their German

 

Fuck’s sake or something of that nature.

 

Voice of the people, Genie Bouchard.

 

That seemed a longer break than necessary

 

I can actually wait quite a long time to watch Sandgren get obliterated by Djokovic.

 

Federer is done, unfortunately.

 

This is tough to watch. Clearly injured and not close to 100%.

 

Federer moving gingerly like he's got a tight back or hips or damnit ESPN just say the same thing

 

Marijana Veljovic

 

Lol, Kyrgios just destroyed a racket in his mixed match.

 

Just wasting those last two challenges in the sandgren match

 

Oh man.

 

Ball girl trying to take out Sandgren.

 

Sandgren can't keep letting those rallies happen

 

lmao how did Federer escape the fourth

 

Roger! Let’s go 5 somehow!

 

Looks like Federer will escape this with a win.

 

Roger you old bastard, yesssss!!

 

Fuck you Tennys

 

Alright Tennys, I’ll admit, this is pretty good.

 

Dominance by Halep. Double breadstick over Kontaveit to get into the SF’s. Garbine-Pavs up soon.

 

It appears Muguruza is back to her best.

 

reading up on that Federer win, holy shit 7 match points

 

Barty-Kenin and Halep-Muguruza?

 

Highlights of those saved match points are wild.

 

Was it ever confirmed what Roger’s injury was?

 

Pulled groin type of thing.

 

Happy he won obviously but that doesn’t bode well for his match against Djokovic

 

That passing backhand volley at 3:00 mark was just sublime.

 

I agree. Still would like a competitive match.

 

Feels like it's gonna be a massacre, but that Sandgren comeback is going to be talked about for a long, long time. Worth it, I think, as much as it's going to hurt next round.

 

Good to see Sasha show up.

 

Zverev loses the first set 6-1 in 25 minutes

 

Uh, Stanimal just breadstick'd Sascha in 25 minutes.
