April 1, 20196 yr So the early hard-court swing ends with Federer leading in the Race to London. Djokovic is just 65 points behind. Federer also picks up his 28th career Masters' 1000 title, good for third-all time behind Nadal and Djokovic (2nd if you add in ATP Finals titles, and obviously 1st when you add in Slams).
April 3, 20196 yr Damn that sucks. I'm going to the Houston tournament next weekend and he usually plays

April 4, 20196 yr Author Puig just beat Sabalenka in Charleston, she looked badass in Yonex’s red. They need to sponsor more.

April 4, 20196 yr Author Well yeah, when you’re out 4-6 weeks with a broken foot, you’re likely not playing in 2 days.
April 5, 20196 yr So after signing a big deal with Adidas a few months ago... Osaka switches to Nike? 🤨
April 5, 20196 yr Nike can make a few more signings now that they know they're out of the running for the big Zion deal. Keys def. Sloane in the battle of bffs
April 5, 20196 yr Author First time Madison had even won a set off her. Collins/Puig next, that won’t hurt the eyes.
April 6, 20196 yr Author Caroline v. Keys in the Charleston final. Garbine v. winner of Angie/Vika in Monterrey. That’s pretty crazy for early April.
April 7, 20196 yr Author Caroline went back to her defensive ways after playing well all week. Garbine/Vika at 5:30 on TC.
April 7, 20196 yr Author Jesus fuck TC, the match is on now but no live coverage. YouTube link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moLikyLeJuQ Says it can't be embedded, but it works.
April 7, 20196 yr Author Vika retires with a calf injury, now I gotta see if my bet on Garbine stands.
April 7, 20196 yr Author Bet stood since one full set was completed. Garbine was +140, that never made sense.
April 8, 20196 yr Author Welp, fuck that, bet got changed to no action. That is some fucking bullshit.
April 8, 20196 yr That is some bullshit. Tennis bets should include possibility of injury retirement. I think it used too, but I know injuries were tied into betting scandals and match fixing so maybe thats why injuries now void bets?
April 9, 20196 yr That must be Cici Bellis. Hope she's able to come back some day, she had a ton of talent.
April 9, 20196 yr Author And could have played much smaller, less powerful players for a few years at Stanford.
April 9, 20196 yr Eh, she's still bigger than players like Krunic and Cibulkova who didn't have a problem with powerful players. No guarantee she wouldn't have had those same injuries in college
April 9, 20196 yr Author Taller, but certainly not bigger. I would be willing to bet she was the lightest top-100 player before injury.
April 9, 20196 yr Author I posted this on November 5 on the tennis site when she first tweeted about coming back. Quote Lightest player on tour? Maybe some of the lesser-known Asian girls are close, little Lauren Davis probably weighs a little more.
April 9, 20196 yr I bet Krunic is right at or below Cici's weight. It's hard to find weight info on them because, you know, listing weight for female athletes is sexism or whatever Edited April 9, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007
April 9, 20196 yr That's really sad for Cici. At least delPo was able to win a Slam before his wrists disintegrated. She never got that same chance to prove herself.
April 9, 20196 yr Author Two absolutely nothing Internationals this week for the ladies, one happens to be in Switzerland. Hometown hero Belinda was the #1 seed, got bounced in straights by someone I’ve literally never heard of. Good effort.

Also holy shit, Tara Moore recovered from a 0-6 0-5 match-point deficit to beat Jessica Ponchet: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/47871628
April 9, 20196 yr Author Belinda is tired of the trolls after her loss, check her timeline. https://mobile.twitter.com/BelindaBencic
April 9, 20196 yr Belinda is tired of the trolls after her loss, check her timeline. https://mobile.twitter.com/BelindaBencic Man they're brutal. Good for her she has a sense of humor.

April 11, 20196 yr Chardy suffered a brutal choke in Houston yesterday. Blew five match points and lost to someone from Chile named Christian Garin in the 2nd round.
April 12, 20196 yr I went yesterday and watched Opelka v. Ruud. Opelka played pretty well but Ruud was able to absorb and neutralize Opelka's big shots enough times to turn around the points and win. Usually American's do really well at this clay event but only Sam Querrey has been able to make the quarter finals among all the Americans who played
April 12, 20196 yr Looks like Nadal will be re-joining Federer at the Laver Cup this year. It'll be held in Geneva.
