But this year is even worse with the whole garbage of ESPN +.....they are omitting the better matches to show just a few......this is why tennis hasn't grown outside it's "big 4" They made a big deal about Tsitsipas...which I loved yet they didn't show his match but instead showed some meaningless garbage match.

Faulkner Report post Posted August 29, 2018 Well, Nishioka is not even close to challenging a somewhat off Federer tonight. Had three chances to break but produced some mind-boggling errors. So sad to see what’s happened to him since that ACL injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was ranked 25 and dropped 22 spots with the first round loss. And yes she could fall even further... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 29, 2018 I wish I could find the gif of her dabbing with the camera circling her in slow motion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I can only glance at matches online today, but Tsitsipas looks like he’s struggling in the heat. I get that the USO has a bias towards American players, but Sock/Basilashvili is not a nighttime stadium-court match. It just isn’t.

ChitHappens Report post Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah, that's ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 29, 2018 They really shouldn’t have anyone playing in these conditions. It’s a danger to fans, officials, ballkids, and the athletes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 30, 2018 Another Venus/Serena battle on Friday. I hate when one has to take out the other in the first week of a Slam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChitHappens Report post Posted August 30, 2018 As long as it's Queen doing the taking out, I'm good! Venus is, and will forever be, "the other Williams sister"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’re both legends in their own right. I’m good either way, but I’d like Serena to remain in the hunt maybe a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 30, 2018 Basilashvili made that ending more complicated than it needed to be, but he dismissed Sock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faulkner Report post Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Wow, Muguruza really fell apart last night after I went to bed. Qualifier Karolina Muchova came back to beat her in three. Edited August 30, 2018 by Faulkner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChitHappens Report post Posted August 30, 2018 Didn't even know anyone played after Rafa. But they are saying R3. That's not correct, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
