May 2, 20223 yr She annihilated Badosa. I could see her back to winning the French if she can solve Iga. Tiafoe lost to a new super midget in Estoril. I think he’s even shorter than Schwartzman but damn the way he generates power in his ground strokes is phenomenal.

May 5, 20223 yr The Grand Slams would kill for a quarterfinals lineup like this one on the men’s side. …and… Jessica Pegula just booked the Madrid Open Final vs Ons Jabeur. (Saturday, 5/6/22)
May 6, 20223 yr Hell of a match between Alcaraz and Nadal. The kid finally got his first win over his idol today
May 6, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, perfectchaos007 said: Hell of a match between Alcaraz and Nadal. The kid finally got his first win over his idol today I wonder how much the altitude (faster court) affected the match. This was psychologically more important than an indicator or like-for-like for Paris. I think that Rome is more of a like-for-like for Paris. Still… anyone but Novak! WTA… Pegula & Gauff lost the tiebreaker in the quarterfinals, so Pegula fortunately didn’t have to play two doubles matches on her “off day”. It would have been nice to have seen them win another 1000 Doubles title, but if they weren’t going to win, losing in the quarterfinals was best for Pegula. Edited May 6, 20223 yr by Napoleon

May 8, 20223 yr So fitting that the douchebag Zverev wears a wife beater and double faults to lose the match!
May 8, 20223 yr 4 hours ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Holy Shnikees! I recorded it, but hadn’t seen the score. Just as long as Novak never wins a major tournament again, I’m okay. 😁 It will be interesting to see how his year goes. Fairly certain that I just saw Figo (Portuguese footballer and Real Madrid legend)in the stands between the 4th & 5th games.
May 9, 20223 yr Author Rome ladies’ draw, starts in about 90. Some good R1 matchups. https://www.internazionalibnlditalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/MDS-WTA-20220508-18_38.pdf Simona v. Cornet Leylah v. Pavs Bianca v. Emma
May 10, 20223 yr Author Somehow Sorana/Jabeur is on Centrale over Bianca/Emma, so the Novak match will supersede.
May 10, 20223 yr Author Emma retires again, her fragile rep is going to precede her for awhile at this rate.
May 11, 20223 yr Sorribes Tormo won more games in each of her sets before retiring than Raducanu did in her entire match. That said, Sorribes Tormo looks like she is possessed and may eat your children.
May 11, 20223 yr SoCal native Marcos Giron was stoked to play in front of a great crowd today and stoked to beat Diego Schwartzman and is basically stoked about getting a shot as a “lucky loser” to make the most of his time in Rome. In the breast WTA matchup of the day, Danielle Collins and Simona Halep are underway, early in the first set at 9:32pm Roma, Italia time. PS- While on the subject, Anisimova won today over Bencic… which is nice.
May 12, 20223 yr Amanda “Boom Boom” Anisimova absolutely smoked Danielle Collins 6-2 , 6-2 a day after Collins handled Halep. And Halep was playing well, so Amanda is looking good.
May 12, 20223 yr Amanda is always looking good. Oh you’re referring to her tennis nvm. Good win for her today
May 12, 20223 yr Author Hot Paula is down a set to Kasatkina, almost midnight there. Edited May 12, 20223 yr by shadow_operative2.0
May 15, 20223 yr 11 hours ago, Bullneck said: Schwartzmann is playing doubles with Isner. IYKYK Riley Opelka & Sebastian Baez need to start playing doubles together as well.
May 15, 20223 yr Author Iga has delivered a bagel or breadstick in every match this tourney. Good luck, Jabeur.

May 16, 20223 yr I guess I missed the news Svitolina announced she is pregnant and having a girl due in October.
May 17, 20223 yr I missed that as well. I guess that she played into the second or third month of her pregnancy. I’m psyched for the future parents.
May 20, 20223 yr Author RG draws are out, we’ve got a couple days for a thread. Women Naomi v. Amanda in R1, fucking ouch for both.
May 20, 20223 yr Men’s: Djokovic v Nadal could happen in the Quarterfinals Álacaraz would face the winner of that match in the Semifinals. Considering how much I hate Djokovic, this pleases me.
May 20, 20223 yr Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, and Zverev all being in the same half is nuts. The other half is basically Tsitsipas and.....thats about it. This is the most unbalanced mens draw in a slam in quite some time

May 20, 20223 yr So this year's Wimbledon is essentially just an exhibition with prize money. I expect a big chunk of the top 50 to drop out https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/33952469/atp-men-tennis-tour-award-ranking-points-wimbledon-russia-ban
May 21, 20223 yr All Russians & Belarusians should have been banned from every international sport upon Russia’s invasion in late February. Fuck the bitch-assed punks running the ATP & WTA. I expect everyone who is eligible to play at Wimbledon to actually play.
May 22, 20223 yr Kerber won the Strasberg final 7-6, 6-7, 7-6. Score lines like that are generally reserved for servebots
May 22, 20223 yr Fat Jabber already out. WTA tennis, man. I wonder if Halep has a run in her? I don't know who can stop Swiatek but Andreescu could if fit,
May 30, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, Hefeweizen said: Not RG specific: Holy shit the level of fitness. Why does a video of Camila Giorgi say “Maria Sakkari” at the top of it? If Giorgi had a coach that could help her with strategy and when to roll off the pedal a little, she would have killed Kasatkina today. Instead, she lost in straight sets.

Last minute or so was Sakk training. Different kind of body type but similar fitness. Both are pretty impressive athletes.
May 30, 20223 yr Nope, I didn’t make it past Giorgi’s section. Just couldn’t get passed thinking how much having a real coach would have really changed her career.

An Argentine who lights the menorah while the Argentine mom slaves over a sewing machine. They are a classic immigrant family story, but instead of leaving the old world for the new world, they left the new world and ventured to the old world. It’s all so strange. And the dad is awful.
