Signifying nothing, but I'm always surprised that these star players lug their own racket bags onto the court.
Uh...2 sets to Stan, and Djokovic is getting his shoulder massaged on the break. Reminds me of Novak's early career where he'd start losing and then develop a medical issue that would make him take time and then retire. Poor workman who blames his tools, etc.
Vekic beat Georges, get's Bencic next. But it was pretty amazing to see her come back and finish.Vikic's win was phenomenal. She fought off a match point and Bencic got sloppy and Vekic just rolled from there.
Sorry, thanks for the correction!Vekic beat Georges, get's Bencic next. But it was pretty amazing to see her come back and finish.
Watching Zverev play, and he still seems like his game is nothing like his A game, but then again it would be pretty shocking if he doesn't win this one and make his first Open Quarters. Question is can he find his A game for the next match (I doubt it)
Heh, that's funny. McCoco go McByebye.And upon resumption of games on outer courts, Azarenka and Barry lay absolute waste to Coco and McNally, 6-0 6-1. End of tournament for the Coco phenomenon.
Heh, but you know she won the second set when she stopped coming to the net, right?Taylor Townsend giving it her all in the night's final match, dropped the first set to Andreescu but up a break in the 2nd. Serve and volley forever!
Not entirely sure. Federer looked shaky in the second set; in addition to the two breaks, a couple of his holds were fiercely contested. Lots of props to Dimitrov for forcing the action, obviously.For those not watching, what happened from the first to second set?
Roger is suddenly playing like ass. He fought back to on serve, with help from Dimitrov game dropping, and then Roger falls apart on a service game up 30-0 to hand Dimitrov the set. His forehand is all over the place, but generally not on the court right nowFor those not watching, what happened from the first to second set?
It's going 5Roger wins the 3rd set as Dimitrov game drops a level, but Roger still is playing very poorly. I guess it is harder to be at your best every night when you are a pro at age 38, but he will be very lucky to survive the night, and has no chance winning this tournament, if he plays like this again
Federer gets broken to start the 4th
Great match.Anyone watching Berrettini/Monfils? Goodness gracious. Monfils refused to die, until Berrettini got him on Match Point #5. Epic final set with nothing left in the tank for either guy but particularly Monfils.
Did you watch her against Wang? It was one of the biggest blowouts ever in the quarterfinals. She's on fire right now.Holy crap Serena is on absolute fire tonight. I'm not sure I've seen her play this well in maybe years. Not only is she not making errors at anything close to her usual rate, she's taking big risks with creative shots and fucking nailing them, while also playing D way more intense than we've seen in the latter stages of her career. About the only thing she doesn't have is 12 aces tonight, because she's A+ on just about everything else. Svitolina isn't playing badly, isn't dishonoring her 5-seed, but she is completely outclassed.
I can't wait to see her against Andreescu, this time for realsies.
I did, I had a great fucking laugh for about 45 minutes watching her against Wang on Tuesday night, caught it on replay and just skipped the commercials. The thing is, Wang kinda had nothing in her arsenal that could do any damage to Serena whatsoever. The points in the second set were 21-3 at one point. Yeah it was the QFs, but it might as well have been a first round against a qualifier.Did you watch her against Wang? It was one of the biggest blowouts ever in the quarterfinals. She's on fire right now.
