February 18, 20214 yr Author This is definitely the JV version of the semis. Playing 3, but it ain’t real quality.

I think that Evert can offer good insight, but she pulls for Serena and broadcasts like most viewers do as well... ...and I don’t. 5 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: This is definitely the JV version of the semis.

February 18, 20214 yr Muchova completely fell apart on that last GAME. Edited February 18, 20214 yr by Napoleon
February 18, 20214 yr Author What a fucked up last game. Typical All-American final at 2:30 am on a Friday night.

The last game was far and away the most entertaining game of the match. Some great serves, so horrible shots, some great shots, some horrible serves, but very entertaining all the same. I’m glad that Jen won, but it wasn’t easy.
February 18, 20214 yr Watching Andreescu vs Bouzkova in that [Something] Island 250 consultation tournament going on at the Melbourne Park tennis center and their bodies of work are different, but very enjoyable to watch. (Back on serve in the 3rd set.)
February 18, 20214 yr Author Goddamn, Novak is -1110 tonight. That’s rather ridiculous for a Slam semi. Naomi is -370 for the final, but that will bounce a bunch before then.
February 18, 20214 yr Go Serena. You had an amazing career. Do you have one more in you after today? Looking tough. Edited February 18, 20214 yr by remoh

February 18, 20214 yr Author Fairly certain he thinks she either already won tonight or is about to play.
February 18, 20214 yr The rallies in the Andreescu vs Bouzkova were much better than the rallies in the Muchova vs Brady match. MUCH better. A bit of a surprising 3rd set. Both fit ladies can smack the crap out of the ball.
February 18, 20214 yr Best and most interesting match of the tournament is tonight - Medvedev vs Tsitsipas. They are both playing really good tennis AND they hate each other. Good stuff. I don’t mind Djoker as much as others, but his “injuries” are lame as shit.
February 19, 20214 yr Author Bouzkova is up a set over Kasatkina in the Losers Cup final at the same time the AO women’s doubles final is starting. With all the unused courts there now, they couldn’t space these two matches apart to get them both televised?
February 19, 20214 yr Author DasKa wins the Losers Cup, Bouzkova had nothing left after her Andreescu battle. Mertens/Sabalenka win their second Slam title.

SEMIFINALS ANALYSIS: Monte Carlo, Monaco Residents: Djokovic, Medvedev, & Tsitsipas Russian Heritage: Medvedev, Karatsev, & Tsitsipas (Ruskie Mom) Mediterranean Connection Growing Up: Djokovic (Serbia), Tsitsipas (Greece), & Karatsev (Israel) Lots of overlap among the Final Four.

February 19, 20214 yr Early 2nd set, Tsitsipas’ sweat pattern on the back of his shorts looks like he shit water during a changeover. Edited February 19, 20214 yr by Napoleon
February 19, 20214 yr Author This one certainly ain’t living up to most interesting so far. Then again, I passed out after Rafa’s 2-0 lead too.
February 19, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: 4, 2, 5 for Medvedev, only broken once. Nothing exciting. After beating Nadal I expected a letdown. Medvedev is scary when he is on. Here's hoping he can beat Djoker - not likely.
February 19, 20214 yr I watched some of Osaka v Serena and it was interesting to listen to the commentary, primarily by Evert. The cheerleading is quite easy to catch. The most ridiculous lines were when they were talking about how Osaka doesn't want to walk near to Serena during breaks "to avoid her aura". They talk as if Serena is the same player she was 15 years ago. She's just not. And there is nothing wrong with that. It's just Father Time winning the game. I also watched a bit of Medvedev this morning and those serves are wicked. It made me wonder some about the difference between men and women players and what came to mind was this - Is the gap between women and men greater now, or was it greater in the 1970s? There are videos out there of Serena and other women players trying to return serves from men. But these serves this morning were even more dangerous than what those videos show. These guys are so big now and cover so much ground and hit the ball so damn hard. It's crazy/amazing
February 19, 20214 yr 4, 2, 5 for Medvedev, only broken once. Nothing exciting. Yeah ended up being a snoozer until late 3rd set. I’m a fan of Medvedev and not Tsitsipas so I was happy. Really hoping Medvedev gets his first GS

February 20, 20214 yr Author It won’t go down in the history books as a memorable match, but 4 Slams will.
February 20, 20214 yr Author The mixed doubles final is next with Ebden/Stosur, so a fair amount of the crowd may stick around.
February 21, 20214 yr Medvedev v. Djokovic is about to start. I feel like these guys will have a long match with how much they like to rally
