In other news, it looks like just about every successful clay court player outside of Rafa is losing or has lost already today.

 

Both French runner-ups out in R1, impressive.

And it is on ESPN3 now if any of you kids want to catch the end. Maria serving to stay 4-5.

Maria to the bar, please. May be time to focus on her candy line. 

Federer just demolished Lacko. FH and BH looking good as ever, he won 31 straight service points at one point.

This sounds decent. 

 

 

Isner already has that beat... and he's still going

 

Ivo Karlovic is out! Blew a 2-set lead despite hitting 61 aces.

 

Wawrinka is apparently in deep trouble against Fabbiano...

(not that I can watch, thanks to this ESPN+ bullshit).

Angie/Liu locked in a third set battle.

 

Genie fell to Barty. 

Cilic just lost in the most absurd fashion. He was leading 6-3 6-1 against Guido Pella, then completely collapsed. 

 

Taylor Fritz is giving me some hope for US men's tennis .. .....his backhand lob at 6-5 in third was 😮

He and Tiafoe are the top young Americans. Loads of talent. Fritz had some injuries then had a kid and got married. If he stays focused and healthy he can be a top 10 player.

Donaldson is good too, but just got edged out by Tsitsipas today. Tiafoe has put up some good results but I question how far his unorthodox form can take him.

His forehand is Edberg level ugly but otherwise nothing wrong with the rest IMHO.

Fucking defending champ Garbine breadstick’d in the third by a spare.

Perhaps this will make up for Argentina losing to France in the World Cup when they failed to score on a last second cross in injury time.

I'm fairly certain that the average Argentine soccer fan will be sated by Guido Pella's come-from-behind win over Cilic.

that performance by Fritz today was much more in line with what US men's tennis has been the last 15+ years🤮 ...fml

And Karolina drops the first to noted journeywoman Buzarnescu.

KP was down 1-4 in the second, won that in a breaker, baked a breadstick in the third. Thank you.

Keys admitted she was thinking ahead to facing Serena Williams while battling Rodina when she was leading in the first set.

"Honestly, I think today was a massive mishandle of nerves," Keys said. "I felt my mind go and move on. I don't think I did a good job of keeping in the moment and playing the person who was in front of me."

That was Rodina, a 29-year-old Russian who entered the day never having made it to the fourth round at any Grand Slam tournament, with a career tour-level winning percentage of .408, and an 0-15 record against anyone ranked in the top 20.

"Of course, I am surprised a little bit," Rodina said afterward, "because I won."

 

.408, jesus shit.

Maybe they meant 40.8%, because according to Wikipedia, here professional record from both satellite tours and the top tour is:

Career record 376–252

...which is 59.87%  in the lower levels and in the top tour.

To have a 0.408% winning percentage, she would have had to win 1 time in 245 matches.

I don't know how many years it would take of losing the first match of every tournament (243) to have 243 losses in addition to winning the first match and then losing the second one tournament, because you'd also have to play enough satellite matches to go 375 - 8 in those tournaments. 

Also, she has 1 WTA title and only 13 ITA titles. You can't go 375 - 8 in ITA tournaments and only have 13 titles. She would have to have around 40 to 50 titles... and it would be impossible to have 1 WTA title.

The winning percentage is the same as MLB standings, but the WTA site has her career record at 418/304. Either way, that’s a shitty loss for Madison. 

  • Author

 By comparison, KP is the next highest in that round @ -220 against Bertens. 

It could even be higher but last time Serena was scheduled to play a Russian in the 4th round of a slam she defaulted. That was almost 1 whole month ago

She was only -590. This women’s tourney is beyond fucked. Angie may win it.

Kerber has a 1 in 16 shot as far as I'm concerned. There are no favorites. Just flip a coin on the womens side

That's pretty much been women's tennis any time Serena isn't in the draw or is coming back from an injury for the last 10 years.

Kyrgios bounced in straights. 


Thank god, he is my least favorite player on the planet...

Serenas match against Rodina went as expected. Serena still hasn't faced a seeded opponent, and she faces unseeded Giorgi next round.
