August 15, 20223 yr Author McNally survived cramps or some shit to beat Sasnovich. Leylah was up 5-1, 40-15 to force a decider against Alexandrova, blew it all. Petra/Teichmann in a second set breaker, Jil took the first.
August 16, 20223 yr Author Sloane murdered Cornet, 0 & 1 in an hour. Must have been some damn good pre-match Skyline chili.
August 16, 20223 yr Author Naomi out in straights to Zhang, she just don't give a fuck. Hot Sorana battled past Belinda in 3. Venus sucked, water is wet. Sofia won 3 games total against Shelby. Serena v. Emma may or may not happen in a few hours.
August 17, 20223 yr Author 17 consecutive games for Emma over the two GS-winning mommas. What in the damn world is going on?!
August 17, 20223 yr University of Florida tennis player Ben Shelton just upset #5 Casper Ruud today in straight sets. I think this will help make his decision about turning pro or not easier
August 18, 20223 yr Author Nice little eye candy to end the evening. Dueling hots, Paula v. Ajla in the second.
August 18, 20223 yr Author Lack o' effort. That was supposed to be on Center after Rafa, but they had to move it. Weird to basically fucking quit up a set.
August 19, 20223 yr Sabalenka doing Sabalenka things on the first two points as she teies to serve out the match, but Shelby Rodgers responds with 3 straight unforced errors before Sabalenka hoist a winner for the match.
August 22, 20223 yr I’m in NYC this week and possibly through the weekend into early next week. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/2022-us-open-fan-week-how-to-attend-activities-offered/3831879/?amp=1
August 24, 20223 yr Author She gone. https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/angelique-kerber-announces-pregnancy-withdrawal-from-us-open
August 25, 20223 yr Author Momma gets Danka Kovinic in R1, she should win that one. Then Kontaveit, who has been beyond awful lately.
September 6, 20223 yr Author They may be announcing the WTA Finals location somewhere in Texas shortly.
September 6, 20223 yr 46 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Damn, it's gonna be at fucking Dickies. That's unexpected. In Ft Worth? Yoooo I live in Tarrant county. Guess I’m going
September 6, 20223 yr So after Ft Worth it’s going back to China next year. I guess the WTA is ending it’s ban on Chinese events next season. Peng Shuai must be doing well
September 6, 20223 yr Author https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2784266/2022-edition-of-wta-finals-to-be-held-in-fort-worth-texas
September 12, 20223 yr Author Emma v. Yastremska from Portoroz, Slovenia on TC now. I dig their courts.
September 12, 20223 yr Author Simona is divorcing her rich-ass husband after a year, likely because of Mouratoglou, now she gets a new honker. And Emma beat Dayana, who hurt herself in the last game.
September 13, 20223 yr Mouratoglou is bad news. I thought you were joking about the nose but good for her, she needed it in more ways than one.
September 13, 20223 yr Mourataglou must be a charmer since his students always end up dating him at some point
September 13, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, perfectchaos007 said: Mourataglou must be a charmer since his students always end up dating him at some point That is fucked up. I know they’re young adults but that guy seems like a real piece of shit.
September 13, 20223 yr Author Genie won yesterday in Chennai, gets a countrywoman named Karman Kaur Thandi tomorrow. This draw is horrific... https://www.flashscore.com/draw/f5rOjacQ/UiuTsYAq/#/draw
September 14, 20223 yr Author ^ From 2-5 down in the second, she wins in a breaker. On to the next one.
September 15, 20223 yr Probably deserves its own thread, but Roger Federer just announced his retirement from tennis. Laver Cup next week will be his final event
September 15, 20223 yr UPDATE: Chair umpire just called the ball OUT for Friedsam to hold serve on a ball that absolutely looked to clip the line, but they are using humans to call lines and it looked like it just fell on the chair umpire’s side of the line, but still on the line. Humans should never call lines anymore. SIDE NOTE: Emma’s left thigh is wrapped from her her loins(?) all the way down to just above her knee. Some points Emma looks like a future Top 10 player and some points she looks overpowered by Friedsam.
September 17, 20223 yr Roger was tennis for a while after Sampras and Agassi were declining and left. While Roddick was really really good he never could be on that level and guys like Safin couldn’t do it. The craziest thing in retrospect is how quickly Nadal joined the conversation, and how long it took Djoker to do so. I think it was 2010 or 11 before he just became a total threat and ground up the tour. It’s the end of an era. Nadal is still incredible (I think I have flipped and he is my goat) but he maybe has one or two more French opens in him. Djoker probably has a few more years and will win more majors almost certainly, but Alcaraz, Rune, Medvedev, Berrettini etc just don’t move the needle like the big 3 did for me. Somehow Fed didn’t hang on too long although 41 certainly seems like it.
September 20, 20223 yr Here's McEnroe and Borg talking about how special Roger is. Something really touching about this - two legends talking about a legend.
September 21, 20223 yr Author 32-year old Wickmayer sends 17-year old Linda F. home from Seoul in straights. Rybakina/Samsonova underway in Tokyo, Emma v. a no-name next in Seoul, we’ll see which one TC picks.
September 21, 20223 yr Author 2 & 4 for Samsonova. Emma had 2 MPs on serve for a clinching bagel, then dropped 4 straight for some drama. Safely through now though.
September 22, 20223 yr RF's last match is going to be doubles with Rafa at the Laver Cup. Normally participants have to play at least one singles match also but obviously since it's his tournament little waving that. From what I gather the match will start around 3pm Friday afternoon our time on the tennis channel.
