Noskova didn't drop a set all tournament. She's in great form headed into the US Open, but I think the US Open courts will play a bit faster than Mexico's

The Sun set on Lulu’s championship hopes, but she looked quite good at times. She picked up some points, some trophy wear (didn’t watch the awards ceremony) and she should ride into NYC with some confidence.

If ever there was a time for ‘Women’, this is it. Kudermetova was up 5-0 in the decider against Osorio, then this shit happened.

she won 6 points the rest of the set.  yikes.

Took her 5 MPs but amanda prevailed in straight sets. She would have probably retired in set 3 if Puti pulled out the 2nd set because Amanda was fatigued from heat exhaustion

Laura Siegemund won a 4-hour match yesterday in Thailand, I saw a fair amount of it. There might have been 11 people in the stands. 

Coco is a weak C.

Can’t imagine her winning another major anytime soon.

I watched the end of Siegemund beating the Wang. She considered giving that match away, but finally decided that she would take it.

Love seeing Chinese players lose. Especially in Asia.

Amanda quit in the second set against Tomova. She was on the verge of quitting against Putintseva the match before, but ended up winning that one in straights.

If she quit because her tits are sore, I will rub them for her.

Halep would have never won a grand slam if she didn’t have a breast reduction. If amanda ever wants to compete for a slam, I’m afraid she’ll have to make the tough decision.

Callate!

Amanda is NOT going to chop off her backup plan.

Amanda's issue is more between her ears, not between her underarms.

Tennis great Rafael Nadal will retire from the sport at the end of the year.

Nadal, 38, has enjoyed a career that has seen him win 22 Grand Slams, including 14 French Open titles. But he has been hampered by injuries in recent years, and he announced Thursday that this will be his final year playing the sport.

He will play for Spain against the Netherlands in the Davis Cup in Malaga from Nov. 19-21. That will be his final act on the tennis court, in a sport where he stood alongside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray as four modern greats in the men's game.

"I'm here to let you know that I am retiring from professional tennis," Nadal said in a video statement posted to social media. "The reality is that it has been some difficult years, these two especially. I don't think I have been able to play without limitations. It is obviously a difficult decision, one that takes me some time to make.

"But in this life, everything has a beginning and an end. And I think it's an appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined.

"I am very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and representing my country. I think I've come full circle since one of my first great joys as a professional tennis player was the Davis Cup final in Sevilla in 2004. I feel super, super lucky for all the things I've been able to experience. I want to thank the entire tennis industry."

Kenin is leading up a set and a break against Katie. Kenin looks like she dropped 5 lbs this summer and I think that will help her game.

Team USA embarrassingly lost first round in the Billy Jean King cup to Slovakia. Neither Gauff, Pegula, or Navarro were available but even a team led by Danielle Collins should have beaten them.

The doubles super tiebreak was funny, Slovakia blew 6 straight points from up 9-2. 

Dolehide must have been sick or hurt because Krueger had no business playing there. 

Federer's tribute to Nadal. If anyone needs me, I'll be over here letting the dust in my house get to me.

"As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I've got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional. Let's start with the obvious: you beat me -- a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground.

"You made me reimagine my game -- even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge. I'm not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals.

"Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique -- it was so you.

"And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more. OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the No. 1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was -- until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I'd been hearing about you -- about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday -- it wasn't just hype.

"We were both at the start of our journey and it's one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you've had. Including 14 French Opens -- historic! You made Spain proud ... you made the whole tennis world proud.

"My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side -- not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.

"Rafa, I know you're focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it's done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next."

Big news in the women's game today with Swiatek getting a ban.

Her arms have gotten awfully mannish this year. 

Whether she intentionally doled or someone in her team pushed the limit without her knowledge, I wouldn’t be surprised if her body was getting some special assistance.

I haven’t read what the deal is, just that she got popped for something.

Watching Fils v. Tien in a "Next Gen Jeddah" indoor match and they played a pretty insane point -- standing ovation worthy.  Never heard of either of them.
