I didn’t see much of the match, but what I saw was ugly. 2) TCU vs Baylor on Tennis Channel right now. 3) Damned Álvarez is going to beat Monfils. 😌 That kid is so fucking good.
March 17, 20223 yr Rough day for the Americans. Fritz is the only US player left in either singles draw.
March 17, 20223 yr Apparently Kudermetova didn’t see my upset pick, nor my reasoning for why she should win. It appears to me, after finally turning on the match, that Badosa is too crafty for Kudermetova. I had not anticipated that. Well, good for “the West”, and F Russia! Edited March 17, 20223 yr by Napoleon
March 17, 20223 yr It turned out that Badosa was 0-3 against Kudermetova before today, so my assessment was not off, it just didn’t hold up. Who wins Nadal v Kyrgios? Álcaraz v Norrie?
March 17, 20223 yr Want to see if Iga can keep it going. She is best when she’s aggressive. If she’s just hanging in points I don’t like her chances against Halep. Badosa had not previously beaten K, so that’s a big win. I don’t see Sak giving her trouble. I smell a repeat coming.

Álcaraz v Norrie? Kyrgios even though he is a turd. Alcatraz is winning the French this year so to keep in Chang’s tradition he has to win IW.
March 17, 20223 yr The women’s quarterfinals were about as straight forward as predicted, however the semi finals look to be very entertaining. It’s hard to pick favorites given all four of these ladies seem to be in their top form

I will take the higher seeds. Swiatek over Halep Badosa over Sakkari Swiatek over Badosa in the final.

March 19, 20223 yr Iga making me look like I know what I’m talking about. There were bumps in the road, but she was crafty and got it done.
March 19, 20223 yr Rublev frequently seems like he is seconds away from snapping and then shooting up a stadium. Fritz won the first set and so far, no one has been shot up.
March 19, 20223 yr Rublev does have a resemblance of the Aurora Colorado theater shooter. Anyways, Fritz prevails over the currently not-Russian Rublev to advance to his first ever IW final. First American man in the IW finals since Isner in 2012 Edited March 19, 20223 yr by perfectchaos007
March 20, 20223 yr Author Iga ‘bout to win easily. Twitters don’t seem to think men’s final will even happen, Taylor hurt his ankle.
March 20, 20223 yr Locked in Iga is downright ferocious. She is like an assassin. Cold-blooded and hitting her targets with deadly precision.
March 21, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: After he won, went to the ground, got up, shook Rafa’s hand, he looked like he was going to start laughing and/or crying… Then he covers his face before pulling his hands away from his face, looks into the stands at someone and you can see his lips clearly say… ”NO FUCKING WAY!” It was hilarious!
March 21, 20223 yr Hit the arrow below for the NO FUCKING WAY clip. FullSizeRender.MOV Don’t if the first frame will show up.
March 21, 20223 yr Haven't followed tennis closely for a while but really glad to see Fritz break through. He's got the talent to be a consistent top 10 player and compete for slams - hopefully he builds on this and continues to have success.
March 21, 20223 yr Fritz has taken his game to the next since he divorced his baby mama and started smashing Instagram models.
March 21, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Miami women Hide contents I’m confused. Why is Iga a lower seed than Sabalenka? I guess ranking came too late?
March 22, 20223 yr If Anisimova has anyone in the locker room that dislikes her, it’s probably Rogers after the match they had in Charleston last year. Could be a popcorn round 1

Could be a popcorn round 1 I am right behind Amanda on this one. Like... right behind her. Giving her whatever she needs to make it through the hard time. Though I do pull for Shelby, I am on Amanda for this matchup.
March 22, 20223 yr 1) Anisimova vs Rogers is on now. 2) It appears to be fairly windy in Miami. 3) In the first 5 games, we have had: 1 hold & 4 breaks. WTA!!!
March 22, 20223 yr Not looking good for Amanda. After winning the first set she has lost 10 of the last 11 games
March 22, 20223 yr Rogers moves on. Amanda can spend the rest of her week taking Instagram photos on Miami Beach
March 22, 20223 yr Putinseva is playing some girl I’ve never heard of (Schunk- GER) and Yulia looks like she’s been putting-in-sev(er)al cubano sandwiches in her mouth over the last week or two while prepping for this tournament. Putinseva is short, so 5-10 lbs looks like 15-20 on her, but the surface is purportedly fast and she’s not looking like she can play fast. She is wearing a low-cut tank top with a shallow push-up undertop in case anyone is interested in that stuff. It’s early in the 3rd set.
March 23, 20223 yr According to the Tennis Channel, Taylor Fritz is in Miami, but it remains to be seen whether he’s fit enough to play or will have to withdraw. Stan Wawrinka is playing a challenger in Andalucia this week (or maybe it’s next) that is probably on clay before accepting a wildcard to Monte Carlo.
March 23, 20223 yr 13 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: would be hilarious if she goes back to playing Cricket. I’m thinking that she starts a family soon. She could squeeze out some pups, knock around the cricket ball, and then get the bug to return (maybe) in 7 years or so. She’s a pretty chill lady and could conceivably have endorsement deals for the rest of her life. PS- I raced here to post the ESPN screen shot, so I’m going to do it anyway.
