Members Faulkner Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 Getting old sucks in a lot of ways. Hard to watch. Still, he made the QF off two knee surgeries (which is both an indictment of his competition and a testimony to his skill). ESPN is lame, of course. We’re missing the tight Berrettini/FAA match while they chatter on and on about Roger’s defeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 Oh thanks!! Denis Shapovalov is looking soooo much better. He cleans up well, even with the sun-burnt face lol. Not quite as effortlessly stylish and elegant as his compatriot FAA… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 So everyone is waiting on Roger press conference and nothing yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 The FAA/Berrettini match is… not good. What a disappointment of a return for Wimbledon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 Berrettini is a pure serve bot. I hate his game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 7, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted July 7, 2021 Disappointed FAA lost but it was definitely a great step in the right direction for him. Happy for Shapo but it’s going to take Novak playing at his worst for Shapo to win. No matter what happens this was a huge tournament for Canadian tennis.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 8, 2021 Members Share Posted July 8, 2021 It'll be funny if Hurkazc wins the men's title. Actually, it might be the best case scenario. I stopped caring about this tournament last weekend but, maybe that clip of Hurkacz being utterly ignored by the press in the press conference room has been fueling his run. His journey to the final is the least yawn inspiring run of the players left in the draw, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 8, 2021 Members Share Posted July 8, 2021 Oh I missed it. Where can I see it? Matteo can't win the big match. He hasn't been able to do it this year. Shapo is still to green to win a major. I like Herbie but his game is so wooden and I loathe his coach. He's coached all the Trumpster rejects. Novak takes it over Matteo in the finals. The women...flush them all...don't care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 8, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted July 8, 2021 I didn’t see the match but there’s nothing really to say. He’s still able to make it to the quarters just shows how, at an old age and his body breaking down, he’s still pretty decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 8, 2021 Members Share Posted July 8, 2021 Welp, I was trying to put a positive spin on things but I am indifferent, tbh. I think I posted that clip of Hurkacz not being asked any questions in the press conference room some time ago. It happened before Wimbledon, at another tournament, don't remember which. You can probably find it somewhere on Twitter, if you search. I'm a believer that people and players should retire when they decide. Tennis is an individual sport, so it should be the decision if that individual. Viewers can always change the channel, spectators another match, if they'd rather not see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 8, 2021 Members Share Posted July 8, 2021 Kerber effed that up big time trying to serve out that second set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 8, 2021 Members Share Posted July 8, 2021 I clicked on, just in time to see Kerber play an awful tiebreak, lol. I almost felt sorry for Angie (I said almost Please register in order to view this content ) until I remembered that, had it been Venus or Serena, Angie would've been playing 'balls to the walls', relentlessly ruthless tennis. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
