+ PCB v. Lajovic and Struff v. de Minaur look worth a long look.

main draw starts tomorrow

CINCY!

Gauff is out already.

R7 Yeah, she really shit the bed, didn't she?

I just watched the end....but, she could not get a good serve in. Double faults, and very weak on both sides.

Wawrinka wins Prague challenger

Mladenovic wins a match

Gauff has a tendency to start the match a little off. That needs to be corrected as soon as possible or she will be in the showers before having the opportunity to give a fight against the top players

And Paire retired after losing the seven games he played (and he played against Coric who was not playing well even before the coronavirus).

FAA match was pretty bad

Are you on Tiafoe team or Misery team?

Tiafoe really blew the last 3 points of the tiebreak

Felix was fine, R13, once he got warmed up. Basil, not so much.

Is Misery's ass looking nicer now? He always had nice thighs and calves (but not knees), but now is ass seems to have built up.

R16 Felix played an awful first set. In the second he only needed to stay there because Basilashvilli did everything by himself. He needs to improve a lot if he wants to have some chances in case he face Djokovic in the third round.

And i'm starting to thing Tiafoe doesn't have what it takes to be a top player

Misery looks like misery incarnated, whoever came up with the name, nailed it. Third set on.

If Felix's play was awful, R18, which adjective would you use to describe Basilashvili's play? So far none of the play today has been anything spectacular. The players are just getting their feet wet again.

Mladenovic def. Sevastova 6-4 6-3

Azarenka scores her first win over Vekic in 3 matches with a 6-2 6-3 result

Fritz with a quick win over Harris

Berankis long grinding win over Paul in 3

Shapo vs Cilic on now. Shapo has a fucking fantastic ass. I would eat it and fuck it for hours.

Yastremska def. Venus in 3 sets. Venus has actually been in decent form but brutal draws last 2 weeks

g.e.m.s.life!

Monfils and Svitolina are insane. I wonder what their sex life is like

Yastremska was also playing mind games with Venus, which Rennae Stubbs was calling out throughout the third set, but for which this new crop of girls thinks nothing of doing.

R20 Basilashvilli was just himself on a bad day. You only need to keep the ball on court to defeat him on one of those days. Felix played better in the second set, nothing spectacular but quite decent, the first was pretty bad.

And yes, most of the players are far from their best form, but some of them like our friend Shapo played very well

R25 They are pretty funny, and Gael has balls of steel or blind trust in Elina's abilities

JJ Wolf is a double-bagger, but damn that bod

(go to player gallery)

That hair is very pornstar of the 80's

I'm happy Anisimova won. Hopefully with all the Gauff hype Amanda gets less pressure and she becomes the star she is meant to be

Im happy Amanda won as well. She’s easily the most talented player under 20 on the women’s tour right now.

Shapo team or Struff team?

R32 Well Shapo has the budding rap career, Struff has the cute baby. Hard to pick.

I'm going to pick Shapo because he has hotter calves.

We'll get no bad rap with Struff.

In the qualification round of the ITF torunament in Poland there is

Younes El Aynaoui!

They showed Rublev. My eyes! My eyes!

[quote]Younes El Aynaoui!

oh wow, Younes is almost 49

On one blog of tennis i use to post people were rooting for Rublev, it's going to be fun go there now.

Humbert needs more stamina, he has the groundstrokes but he seems too nice to succeed

Stamina Stamina

Gasquet ousts Wolf of the legs and ass

Another 1st round loss for SlowAnne Stephens (to Garcia). She has now lost 15 of her last 20 matches

Gasquet looks like a 50 year old man horrible aging my goodness

Titsy can FMH

Gasquet looks very similar to an uncle of mine. They even have the same bantam rooster walk. Every time I look at Gasquet I think of my uncle.

Tsitsipas def. Anderson easily

Isner def. Hurkacz in 2

Pliskbot malfunctions against Kudermetova in 2 tough sets

Mertens easy win

Women's draw already in ruins.

Goffin def. Coric in 2 tough sets. Goffin is now 5-0 against Coric

[quote]Wawrinka wins Prague challenger

Is he vulture?

Elf team!

Elf team for sure!

Did Felix grow taller than last year? Guess I just haven't seen him for a while.

His stats last year put Felix at 6'3" and now he's listed at 6'4", so he might have grown an inch...

Not sure which was worse, seeing Felix lose like that or having to stomach nauseating Sandgren.

I said it yesterday, Felix level was not good and frankly he is not progressing the way people expected

Perhaps he should give up tennis and go into regulating the airline industry in the US?

Felix has always been hot and cold, brilliant one day, walkabout the next, not unlike Ivanisevic or Andrei Medvedev back in their day. Let's hope his twenties bring consistency to Felix's brilliant days.

He was doing pretty well till he started Sascha's route with the girlfriend pics on instagram

He was doing fine back in February. making it to the Rotterdam and Marseille finals. And he's toned down the girlfriend stuff on IG, so there's that.

R67 Yes, i remember that. But he started really bad the year. I was interested in watching how he was going to deal with Miami because the pressure would be high there for him.

I think it's really stupid to post things with a girlfriend on instagram when you are barely starting the relationship. Zverev did that after the previous one exploded in his face.

Curiously Shapo seems to be way more discreet

disappointing about FAA today.. Losing to that scum in a match he should have won

Medvedev def. Giron

Bedene def. Fritz

Khachanov def. Carreno Busta

Raonic def. Evans

Pegula def. Anisimova

Bouzkova def. Kvitova in 3

Konta destroys Flipkens

Zvonareva destroys Siegemund

K. Hemsworth team.

Not all that discreet, R68...

R71 He is celebrating one year with his girlfriend. That's far from trhowing pics of the girlfriend five minutes after start to date.

I don't want them to hide their girlfriends, they are part of their lives and it's good to share your victories with someone who care about you, but Felix and Alexander were posting pics just when they start to date which doesn't seem a good idea at all

Denis posted this early on. FAA and he are about on par now with what they post. Flopos, however, is in full overkill mode with his obnoxious posts.

R73 I don't think a pic from time to time is bad, but it's not a good idea to post on the early stages of the relationship (for obvious reasons).

Zverev liked to troll fans, i still remember those Sailor Moon dances with Melo when people thought they were a couple, or that puke inducing dance with the girlfriend after an early elimination on Austrlia 19. He just doesn't know when to stop

Serena survives a brutally tough match with Rus. Serena had 5-2 in the third set, then was down a break 6-5 before a long game to break and swept the tiebreak.

serbots Isner and Opelka both win. Isner again almost lost to Millman but came through in 3 tough sets like the rest of their matches

a DL'er has been spotted in the stands ;-)

Misery defeats Flopos in the third set on a break. The match almost got away from Murray.

Misery over Flopos in 3

Zverev had 11 double faults today wow.

He wasn't the only party boy to crash out.

Fucsovics topped Dimitrov in 3 sets

Krajinovic thumped Thiem 6-2 6-1

Berrettini def. Ruusuvuori in 3

Azarenka def. Garcia in 2. Her first win over her in 4 matches

Djokovic with a stiff neck wins tight 2 setter over Berankis

[quote] Osaka def. Muchova in 3

I'm certain she prefers "Munchova".

Sabalenka def. Bellis in 3. Bellis has really improved and gotten a lot stronger. I'm impressed. She seemed like a real lightweight a couple years ago

Kraijnovic spanks Thiem's fat ass right out of the tournament.

[quote] spanks Thiem's fat ass

Fat ass?

Jabeur def. defending champ Keys 6-4 6-1

Keys and Thiem really hit themselves out of their matches today

I've mentioned this before, but did Andy Roddick get a hair transplant?

OMG Love Jabeur. She made Keys look like a fool.

I should have gone bigger.

R83 Bellis is doing well, after being the next best thing during a while and so many injuries, she must feel very well at being competitive again. She is top 200 again, and she'll be top 100 by the end of the year.

Next gen is doing awfully bad on this tournament. Only Medvedev and Tsitsipas (and we'll see how well Stef is able to do agains someone with a big serve) did well till now

R87, it looks as if he has, now that you mention it, but it wasn't overdone.

I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I enjoy Daniil Medvedev and think he is nice looking.

Which part do you enjoy the most, R92, when he throws coins at umpires, when he rips towels out of ball boys' hands, when he challenges players to fistfights, or when he flips off the crowd?

Bedene is hot. He looks good on his Insta.

R93 Oh Tsitsi you are not the best man to critcise, the bullshit russian was not your brightest moment.

There are two things that i like from Medvedev, his game (the fact that he is able to be so good at defense being so tall is hard to believe) and the fact that he owned being the villain. Now everybody wants to be loved and adored by crowds and he couldn't care less.

By the way, he is one of the very few younsters who is playing at a good level

Youngster? Ha! In February he'll be closer to 30 than 20.

I need Khachanov to wreck my hole.

R96 I detect some envy, Tsitsi, the bullshit russian got close to win a GS while Stef was trashed on the semis (and that was the best result since then)

Ha again, R98--at my young age of 22 years and 2 weeks, Medvedev hadn't gone beyond a GS 2nd round.

Why is Tennis channel just showing doubles?

Main action is on ESPN2, R100.

Thanks! R101

This is the broadcast schedule, R100/R102.

Djoker still does his stupid post match celebration to an empty stadium. UGH.

That’s cringe inducing, R104.

The only good thing about that match, R104, is that one of the two was eliminated.

boobs out?

glad I missed it

And now with Matteo out, the aesthetics are down to mostly mediocre.

Jason Goodall is one hot daddy.

yeah even with that honker

Raonic looks better than ever.

Did you queens see the Stuff-Elf match? Great tennis. Elf's timing is unreal, and Stuff was cracking the felt off the ball.

erm, Struff

lol @ Raonic's ever-changing hairstyle. After several years of slicking it back with gel, he's back to letting his natural curls flow free. He has them contained with a headband though, not the messy fall-over-the-forehead look he had when he first came on tour

[quote] Raonic looks better than ever.

Has he matured from a piglet to a full-blown hog?

Were you Stuff team or Elf team, R112?

Both, R116. They both played amazing tennis. Really nice to watch.

Very surprising to see Pegula upset Sabalenka. Pegula has very short take-backs on her groundstrokes and great timing which works on fast courts but she's not a huge hitter or great mover. She's more of a Bartoli player without the double handed forehand

Azarenka defeats Cornet. I'm not surprised but just learned today hearing Stubbs speak that recently Azarenka wasn't sure how much longer she wanted to play given her results the last couple years

Jabeur sweeps McHale which was expected.

Osaka with a much easier win over Yastremska than I expected

Krajinovic is so hot.

Raonic is ugly as hell.

He's carrying around a spare tire now too.

On the bright side, Sandgren and Isner are out.

On the bright side, Sandgren and Isner are out.

Tsitsipas' reward for defeating servebot Isner? baby servebot Opelka

Serena down 0 - 5 in the third.

[quote] Raonic is ugly as hell.

One must always refer to him as "the porcine Milos Raonic".

Keyes' game is mind numbingly dumb and obnoxious. When all else fails hit harder and further away from the lines. I've heard DL fave Pammie S compare this tendency to Seles and Capriati except those two could actually keep the ball in the court. She was right.

not sure if it's just rust or what but Serena's collapses against Rogers and Sakkari do not bode well for her chances in a week's time to win the USO even with a diluted field

I think after losing the second set, SW did not give a crap. In her interview pre-match, she did not seem to want to be there.

I don't think SW is hungry anymore. I don't really blame her, but maybe the only reasons she's playing are i) she doesn't know what else to do, and ii) everyone around her keeps telling her she's got to break Court's 24 majors. I just don't see that she wants it like she used to.

When we watched the pre-match interview, the husband and I both laughed because it was clear that she was not going to work very hard. She complained about the heat and that she was already sweating (as if that was a surprise in NY, in August)....after she lost the (tight) second set, she clearly gave up. Whatever the reasons, I think it is pretty clear that her heart is not on it.

Maybe it’s time Serena just gave it all up and had a baby or something.

You’d think she’d be training with more purpose. She’s gonna be 39 next month and has said she wants to have another kid.

R133 ANOTHER kid???

I think Raonic is cute with shorter hair and without the extra weight. He has great legs too.

R134:

[quote] [R133] ANOTHER kid???

You mean she’s already had one???!!

R134, I'm not that surprised. Serena seems happy off-court now. I don't think that she ever physically recovered from her first pregnancy.

Serena retire already.

Serena won't retire because top players are not consistent.

She is far from her best form in the last two seasons but she was able to reach four GS finals. Yes, she played pretty bad every final, but she was close to win even far from her best

Be best!

And RBA defeated Medvedev in three sets

good riddance to Medvedev

interestingly he had more winners and less errors but RBA won more second serve points and more break points

Osaka def. Kontaveit in 3

Mertens destroys Pegula

[quote]Mertens destroys Pegula

I didn't know Jessica Pegula is billionaire Terry Pegula's daughter

The coach/player duo of Ivanisevic/Djokovic is among the most unpleasant in tennis. I used to be fans of both Ivanisevic and Djokovic until they showed their true colors. Is there a more annoying coach/player duo out there in either the ATP or WTA?

RBA beats Dani Medvedev!

wow Opelka retired so Titsy is in the semis

Opa!

Jo Konta is playing some brilliant tennis this tournament. She also handled some criticism by (former player?) Laura Robson pretty well, saying basically "I don't know her".

What did Robson say? Konta has looked good this week

Opelka had a knee injury.

Azarenka ends Jabeur's run

Robson said something along the lines of "Konta appointing Hogstedt as her coach was a very odd choice" (I paraphrase) while commentating for Amazon Prime in the UK.

Konta replied with "Robson doesn't know me and I know nothing about her".

Great way to start your commentating career, Laura.

Konta’s always bitching about something

What a Kont!

Women's SF set:

Osaka vs. Mertens

Azarenka vs. Mertens

*Azarenka vs. Konta

The pandemic didn't shut down the US Open, but will the growing athlete boycotts do it?

R156 Too late for that now. Most of the players are on site already in their "bubble". Unless there's a Covid outbreak among the players already there, it's going ahead.

Krajinovic is playing some amazing tennis v Raonic.

Krajinovic broken serving for the match

R156 Osaka has just withdrawn from the Cincy SF.

Naomi's tweet:

How does pulling out of a tennis tournament help the BLM movement?

I'm not sure any racist police are going to have some kind of Damascene moment because a half-Haitian, half-Japanese player pulled out of 'Cincy'. Playing and winning it would have given her a much better platform from which to share her views. She's tired after her last match and doesn't give a fuck about the Cincy title as it's so asterisk'd. Using the BLM excuse really does nothing for the cause.

R162, she's showing solidarity with other athletes, like the NBA and MLB players, who are refusing to play. (Some of them actually have been targeted by police officers). Refusing to play will never send a message to those police officers who are beyond redemption; it's not meant to. Like most protests, it's aimed at people who have never seriously thought about things one way or another.

Is Tipsarevic coaching Krajinovic?

Naomi Osucka is a joke. She gets some extra rest before the start of the USO and her inevitable second round loss. She's a total mental midget.

Remember James Blake.

"Genocide"

She is fucking ridiculous.

Raonic was looking mighty fine against Krajinovic, though they both looked on the verge of a panic attack at times.

Totally support Naomi's decision here, not surprising that some others do not.

Bob and Mike Bryan have announced their retirement

So did Osucka default and leave Mertens in the final? A refusal to play for such high principled reasoning is commendable, but she gave Mertens a walk over and now that we're on pause mode, does that allow Osucka back in the semi?

A reporter on Twitter said her withdrawal from the match was a temporary pause and that she'd be playing again at the tournament, but he was torn down saying that wasn't right. So I've got no idea what's going on.

I think Naomi wanted to rest before the Open and she had enough matches If she defaults NOW it will be very telling. Remember this is the bitch who dumped the coach who helped her win 2 gs, and she fired him because he wanted a raise. She's also the bitch who plays for Japan, but she's a Florida Valley girl who can't speak Japanese.

r173, I'll pray for you. r162/165

So is it now official she hadn't withdrawn from the tournament but effectively just postponed her match?

Osaka: "I was (and am) ready and prepared to concede the match to my opponent. However, after my announcement and lengthy consultation with the WTA and USTA, I have agreed at their request to play on Friday."

I don't fault her for using her position as a relatively public person to take a stand. The reason she presents now for proceeding with the match appears to be balanced and considered as well. She strikes me as quite reasonable.

The US Open draws are out

Rooting for Kevin Anderson in round 1.

Me too, r179, and I’ll also be rooting for Dzumhur. Anyone but Djokovic.

Me three, anyone but Flopos, Novaxx and the deplorables, please.

^ do you actually LIKE anyone?

Absolutely, R182. I have a long list of players that I like.

names, pls

Tons to like, r182. Tsitsipas, Berrettini, Goffin, Khachanov, even lower-ranked players such as Kyle Edmunds, De Minaur, Millman... Actually, there are so many that I can’t see that there’s any point in wasting time and energy on the deplorables or the cynically manipulative turds like Djokovic.

Gombos-Albot loooks compelling

What happened to CoCo VanDewghe?

R193, call her CoCo.

Vandeweghe has been having trouble coming back since her injury. She's been doing better in doubles than singles

Is Vandeweghe still being coached by Pat Cash, the intellectually challenged COVID conspiracy idiot?

Pat Cash in better days.

....

WATCHING RAONIC VS TSITSIPAS RIGHT NOW and damn, milos has sexy muscular legs! whew and double whew! his calves alone are hump worthy!... delicious those legs are and glad he wears shorter shorts!...

Tomorrow interesting semis in Trieste, Musetti (18) against Alcaraz (17) a victory on this tourmanent could gave the winner enough ranking to make the Roland Garros qualifications

I could watch Raonic all day long.

I don’t find Raonic that sexy, but I like him a lot.. Tsitsipa’s father is a silver fox and looking fine. Raonic won the first In a tiebreak.

And Raonic breaks, 3-1

you know that Milos must have a huge cock...

enormous I suspect

Raonic into the final

Tsitsipas needs to improve his return to serve or he will suffer against big servers

And RBA is up one set!

I met Rod Levar last weekend had drinks with him and Martin Barba.

R209, is Rod related to LeVar Burton?

As much as we all like to bitch and moan about Fedal always winning/getting all the attention, it's going to be so weird watching a Slam without one of them playing. Also, and just to continue pointless bitching, I just can't stand Nole and know he's got this basically in the bag.

ugh RBA fought back from 2-5 in the 5th to lose the breaker at love

I mean in the 3rd

How did Novak come back and win? He is amazing.

I hope Raonic flattens Novak tomorrow.

If Raonic plays in the final like he's been playing recently, he'll demolish Djokovic.

He scowled and snarled RBA down, R214.

R209 did I get it wrong? Laver it must be

R209 Laver maybe

[quote] He scowled and snarled RBA down

That’s his natural expression. He’s porcine after all.

Laver is a drooling fool.

Novacs is sexy as hell. Great posture/carriage, tall, fantastic legs. He is also just an out-and-out killer playing the game.

Apparently, Novaxx is ill/injured. He did not talk to the press after his win.

I did think he was close to throwing up on court a few times, R223.

One man's "sexy as hell" is another man's demented scarecrow.

covid 'long-hauler'?

[quote] I did think he was close to throwing up on court a few times

Food out!

I'll root for Milos but the only way he'll win is if Novak is sick. Heh great returners are not his forte.

Looks like Djokovic has added a few more steps to his boobs out shtick, including a lengthy chat with the guy upstairs, probably in humble thanks for winning, before he starts. Each boob out is then punctuated by a quick look up, again probably in humble thanks for the assistance given in winning.

The very definition of a loon.

Very interested to see Osaka vs. Azarenka

Djokovic leads Raonic 10-0 and has lost just 2 sets to him

This new player council seems to have come out of nowhere. I thought Pospisil was one of the good guys? He's been doing so many podcasts, interviews and videos for the ATP recently and now he's joint in charge of this breakaway union?

I actually think both Milos and Vika will spring the upset

The Bryan Brothers' retirement announcement couldn't have been more poorly timed. It's almost been completely ignored.

I think Osaka wins but Novaxx did not look well yesterday, so an upset is possible but I would not count on it.

Osaka has pulled out of the final with an "injury".

oy fucking vey

Osucka strikes again. Poor Elise Mertens, now doubly screwed.

Naomi sat with the insipid Chris McHendry, where she was compared to Althea Gibson and BJK. Osaka is a loon. An empty headed moron who I doubt had any true thought as a 'black woman' standing up for Jacob Blake. She just didn't want to play. I hope she does play the Open and CoCo takes her out in the 3rd round. '

The porcine Roanic or Novaxx?

The porcine Raonic or Novaxx?

Milos bulgin' in those red shorts :-)

Novack the only player to have won all 9 masters titles and has now won each twice.

He's at 80 titles. Think he has enough gas left in the tank to catch Fed or Connors?

Right now it's Novak and the 127 dwarves.

Paire out.

well at least we won't have to see his hidjus beard

Amazing that he could win ALL 9 twice and the other two couldn't even do it once. R229, It's almost as if he really doesn't give a shit what other people think, like he's doing it just for himself.

Definition of looney to me is:

Love the idea of keeping this thread going instead of following the cheapskate OP. Just pay the 2 dollars already. Pathetic, like changing seats on the train to avoid the conductor.
