Members Soapsuds Posted May 27, 2018 Members Share Posted May 27, 2018 Yup....he lost his cool. I don't know why he lost focus. He had the match won and poof he completely imploded. Everyone knew he wasn't injured and was stalling so darkness could be called in the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 28, 2018 Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Wawrinka lost in R1 to Garcia-Lopez, and his ranking has plummeted to 256. He’ll get tons of wild cards, though. Sevastova lost to Duque-Mariño. I can only imagine the drama on-court. Saw that Baghdatis was up 6-4, 4-3 on Giraldo but got injured and had to retire. Really awful luck.

Members Faulkner Posted May 28, 2018 Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 I can’t believe Nadal might be saved by the rain once again... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 I wasn't impressed with Nadal today. He was playing rather passive and should've lost the 2nd set. I was hoping and hoping for an upset but then the rain ruined it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Bolelli could have gone away like Zverev did in the Rome final, but he held firm and pushed things to a tough long TB. Very impressive. I too think Rafa looks off. It wouldn’t surprise me if he pulled out due to an injury à la 2016. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if he steamrolled to another title. But he looks... vulnerable. Edited May 29, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Apparently, Jack Sock was a total a-hole to the chair umpire before losing his third straight GS R1 match. Surpriiiise!

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 From what I saw of the match, I thought Serena looked pretty good out there today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 She looked much better! Her movement isn’t completely back, especially when protecting her second serve, but the ability to shift to another gear when necessary seems close to her previous level. Good match to work her way into the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 I hope they replay the match later. Some of us slugs have to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 LOL, I risked it as long as I could by clicking on a dodgy livestream. I'm never able to watch on an actual TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) He was an ass to the umpire. I am glad he lost and wasn't surprised. Everyone on social media is laughing and shading Sock after his loss. Comments like he is an awful player ….etc etc….I wish TC would stop pimping him. He will never do anything in his career. Jim Courier was awful today. Going on and on about how great his forehand is and how great he is on clay…..whatever….. Zopp btw is a cutie. He looked mighty good shirtless too. I had to LOL at the female calling their match…."I see it's change shirt time….mmmm..thanks guys for the view….."……LOLOL Tennis Channel is re airing the whole coverage again now and Serena will be shown around 8pm eastern time. I thought she was ok…nothing great but nothing bad either. But WTF was she wearing? Edited May 29, 2018 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 That catsuit was likely a throwback to the catsuit she wore at the 2002 US Open. She said she felt empowered wearing it. Hey, whatever helps the mindset, right? Kristyna Pliskova is not a bad first round opponent to have to ease into the tournament. Challenging enough but far from a relentless opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I doubt that Nike will sell this to the consumer market, so it doesn't really matter whether it's to everyone's taste. Besides, with the bevy of sexual harassment and misogyny issues that the company is now having, one catsuit is the least of their problems right now.
