Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 If they insist on keeping those slow as molasses grass courts, then they'd better offer players and spectators an 'escape hatch' from the misery of points without end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 19, 2018 Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 Still having to go to 12-12 before the tiebreaker? Ridiculous!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 20, 2018 Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 So after 6 sets, a tiebreak. But I'm good with it because it's better than infinity, which disrupts the tourney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 20, 2018 Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Gulbis defeated Isner in three sets in Stockholm to reach his first ATP final in four years and meets Tsitsipas!!!! That should be a fun one. Kasatkina debuts in the top 10 with her Kremlin Cup title. Jabeur really had an amazing week, though. You know who had a disappointing year in spite of a maiden title? Mischa Zverev. Edited October 20, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 20, 2018 Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 Tsitsipas makes it into the top 10 at the beginning of next year. He has very little to defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 21, 2018 Members Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Bad form from Kvitova today against Svitolina, who hadn’t beaten her since the first time they played FOUR YEARS AGO. The errors just kept coming, as they often do with Petra, but some of them were truly shocking, like an easy overhead blasted long with a BP on Elina’s serve.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 21, 2018 Members Share Posted October 21, 2018 People are complaining about the slow Singapore court. Some have been calling it quicksand, which is a name that I've used consistently to describe Singaporean courts over the past two years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 I haven’t been able to give full attention to the Osaka/Stephens match, but apparently Cicak made two dodgy overrules that Naomi didn’t challenge and cost her games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 That was as messy as I’ve seen Naomi play in a while. Meanwhile... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) An interesting comparison because they are around the same height (shorter than most players). If only Kei had a more effective serve with all his other gifts (movement, backhand, return of serve). Free points would also help him preserve his body. Meanwhile, Hyeon Chung has ended his season, which started so promisingly on the heels of Milan.

Members Soapsuds Posted October 22, 2018 Members Share Posted October 22, 2018 Congrats to Kyle Edmund and Stefanos Tsitsipas for winning their first tournament although I thought they already had...LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 Another day, another Kei match going three sets when he should have easily closed it out in two. He routed Frances in that decider, but he had served for it previously. This is interesting given Tiafoe’s strong first half of 2018: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
