If y'all didn't see Paire show his ass yesterday, you need to check it out.  He was awful and the fact that he didn't default the entire match is a travesty.  At one point, during one of his tirades, his racket ended on the other side of the net.  He only lost 1 penalty point during the whole match.  It was absolutely ridiculous.  

They showed flashbacks of some of his on court behavior and he may have some mental challenges that need to be addressed.

Thank you Big Foe for the win to put Paire out of his misery.  That display is not why I watch tennis!

Eh, nice will get you a half-priced sandwich on a good day. Most players who want to win matches will show you that they're not really nice. Sportsmanlike is more than adequate. By the way, I don't believe that either Kim Clijsters or Petra Kvitova are actually "nice", especially not on court when that killer instinct kicks in and they want to grab that match win. Even someone fitting that stereotypical definition of nice can be pushed into not-so-nice behavior, every once in awhile.

 

These matches have gone on too late for me to consider watching, but I had to howl with laughter when I saw a tweet that described Sloane as "slow-footed" in her loss to Pegula. It's well known that Sloane often refuses to move her feet. I guess Pegula was coached well on what to look for.
