The Tennis Thread

[Faulkner]

I was wondering if Sascha was playing that well (not watching), but saw this from Morgado.

 

Lord, these up-and-comers are just sh!tting the bed left and right.

These night matches are a disaster without fans. Whose bright idea was it?

 

Tsisitpas looks nervous as sh!t!

These night matches seem pointless, they should be left as a last resort measure when day matches over-extend and spillover into the evening. What can I say, the FFT isn't known for making good decisions where the tournament is concerned.

 

While I'm no fan of Tsitsipas, his clay court game is pleasant to look at.

 

The Pavlyuchenkova/Rybakina match was a rollercoaster ride. Pavs came good on that one!

Is the match still on? I couldn't watch after the 2nd set.

[Soapsuds]

You do an underhanded serve on match point? Medvedev played like garbage. Tsisitpas vs Sasha semis.

Poor Iga.

[Soapsuds]

Why? Because she got injured? It's her fault for playing doubles too which kept her longer on the court. I didn't care when she stopped play to get treated before a change over. I didn't care for her brushing off Maria after she lost. She was a poor sport.

It's rare that a player is able to repeat the next year after they win their first major title. In the last 25 years, Venus did it at Wimbledon and The US Open, I believe. Maybe Rafa at RG?

Capriati and Vika did in Melbourne, but yeah it’s rare (and both of them were on tour a lot longer). I was rooting for her to beat the odds, though.

The French crowd: louder and drunker than ever.

Berrettini stepped his p*ssy up in the third while Djokovic faded. Seeing a lot more variety from Matteo.

I would have never imagined Pavs in the final 2 of any major but here we are.  Congrats!

Continues to come good too.

This Sakkari/Krejcikova match is error-ridden garbage.

Once the nerves settled, that became quite entertaining.

 

Krejcikova vs Pavlyuchenkova. Who had that penciled in as the final?

I’m sure NBC won’t be pleased, but a surprise Slam champion is fun. Pavs would be sort of like a Flavia Pennetta story.
