Something that irritates me is that Venus could've used half that energy from the crowd last night, to have a chance at pulling through and those MFs in their seats were so ultra laid back to the point of being slugs!

She was on at damn near 11pm at night, 36 with Sjogrens and the crowd was 'too cool for school'. Why couldn't they have heckled Konta's bitchy antics last night?! 

 

Nick was pretty stable until the very end when someone called out while the point was still in progress. I don't know who wouldn't be upset with that.

I think the crowd was kind of nasty tonight though.

 

 

They were awful. Calling balls out when they weren't. And screaming during points. They were awful against Berdych too.

Well, the clay is coming up so, don't despair, LOL.

Yeah, Roger sucks on clay but I don't Rafa to dominate either.

Most of the fans left though after the men's match. And the match was much later on so maybe they were asleep...LOL

 

I am not a Nick fan at all but the fans were downright pathetic tonight.  And Roger didn't mind at all.

Miami 2017, another finalist trophy Rafa will take home!

You think? I think he has a better chance. I mean Roger should have lost twice already once against Berdych and now against Nick. I tell you he is running on pure vapor fumes....LOL

The day off will help Fed. After the Indian Wells debacle, I'm not sure Rafa has what it takes to beat Roger at the moment, especially now that Roger's backhand is no longer a liability. Then again, after the ass-whupping Berdych took at the AO, I didn't think he'd have a shot at almost beating Roger here in Miami.

 

I bet Roger skips most of the clay season to ready himself for Wimbledon.

Boris was clearly watching last night's SF between Nick and Roger.

 

I hope my man @DjokerNole is watching this ...it's time for you to clean your shoes and fix your racket and get back to business...

Novak always had to deal with heavily biased crowds when playing against Rafa and Roger. But he learned to stay focused and clutch even when the peanut gallery heckled him (see the 2015 U.S. Open final against Roger, an absolutely heroic performance against an appallingly unsportsmanlike crowd). Boris must have been thinking that a Djokovic with his sh!t together wouldn't have fallen apart so close to victory like Kyrgios and Berdych. Maybe seeing these matches will light a fire under Novak's ass to get back to dominating.

That was one boring ass women's final. What a shitty match....

Glad I didn't waste my time with it. I'm tired of Venus losing to the eventual champion (Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami Open). Venus needs her serve back in full effect.

Except for Serena, the others are basic as hell and Konta is the worst of all.

 

The one silver-lining is that Venus will re-enter the Top 10 on Monday and I think she is #1 in The Road to Singapore (whatever that means) and she's practically defended 85% of the points she earned all of last year already. Hopefully the clay will be kind to her.

I half paid attention and just gave up on it after Konta won the first set and started jamming to music instead....LOLOL

I've just clicked onto the Men's Doubles championship.

 

I heard that the Women's championship had a lot of empty seats and I wonder whether this doubles match will have the same or more in attendance. Usually doubles championships tend to not be very well attended unless there are stars in the final. An American team is in the final but I don't know whether that is enough to draw a large crowd.

Road to Singapore is the points accumulated in the current year to qualify for the year end championships.  Serena is currently #1.

...oh, okay, Vee may be #2 then. I heard it on Twitter. Who knows if either will actually show up.

Nope more like #5.
