The Tennis Thread

Double break point for Nick the Yid. And Tsitsipas saves both and holds for 4-3.

Kyrgios on the verge…

This tournament badly needs a box office player going on a run.

Match point saved. Also two points away from a final set.

Finely poised, as they say.

Masterful forehand dropshot wins it for Kyrgios.

The tournament is all about this man.

Isn’t he found upon by the Tennis set? He’s done some bad things in the past but I can’t remember what they were. A lad playing in Wimbledon in a sleeveless jumper like his has to be a bit bonkers

I wouldn’t know much about tennis these days but I think so. For the dilettante spoofers like myself, he’s one of the few players the floating sporting public have heard of, and is thus box office.

I hope he wins the tournament. Which means he’ll probably get Covid and have to drop out before the next round.

Granted I don’t watch much tennis but it’s a long time since I’ve seen an underhand serve in a Grand Slam men’s singles match.

Michael Chang against Ivan Lendl at the 1989 French Open the last time. Chang went on to win the tournament.

Here’s a good log of them.

He absolutely mindfucked that Argentinian lad today though. It was behind rent free he was

Some lad yesterday did 6 in the one match. Only 1 went in :joy:

Murray did one in his first game this year.

Nick has an impeccable sartorial sense.

A new star being born on centre court today.

Sinner two breaks up in the second set.

Djokovic pulls a set back in the 3rd.

He’s going to lose but Sinner hasn’t given up at all. He’s still grinding away.

Him and baby nadal are the future.

Great game

A 35 year old Djokovic destroys a player over 14 years his junior 6-3 6-2 6-2 over the last 3 sets of a 5 setter. It’s a real embarrassment for the sport how this New Gen and New New Gen at this stage can only seem to play for 2 sets.

20 year old loses in 5 set thriller to one of the greatest players of all time.

It wasn’t a 5 set thriller. Sinner ran out of puff after 2 sets and was broken twice in all of Set 3, 4 & 5.

It’s like everything in life now Dan, the youngsters aren’t prepared to make the sacrifices
