August 17, 20187 yr Author Look at is this way... If Josh Gordon or Greg Hardy had completed their probation on a certain day, would anyone really know? Of course not. If they had gotten re-arrested that day, would every single sports site on this planet lead with that? Of course they would. This dude was paroled in March, his name was ONLY brought back up when he was re-arrested. Serena either read a bad headline, or was fed some bad info. That dude could not possibly been in a better place than the jail cell he was in. Terrible, terrible reporting screwed this whole thing up.
August 18, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, Bodowned said: I've missed that Wawrinka backhand. When I saw Wawrinka vs Delpo in the US Open a couple of years ago, Stan's backhand was just vicious. Delpo could hang with the serves & the forehand but when Stan got lined up to crush a backhand, Delpo really couldn't do much to defend it. I said then (that was the quarterfinals I believe) that if Stan had that backhand for the next two matches that he'd win the title. And he did... and he did.
August 18, 20187 yr Peak Federer had a better forehand than peak Wawrinka, but peak Wawrinka’s backhand was/still is better than Federer’s. Such a fluid and flat stroke
August 18, 20187 yr I like the fearlessness and aggressiveness from this Sabalenka chick spy. Halep has played a lot of tennis lately with the open coming up and I could see the upset today and will put a lil chedda on the +277 dog. Woof!
August 18, 20187 yr Author She’s promising for only 20, but probably has the loudest grunt/shriek/whatever the fuck it is on tour. And that’s saying something.
August 18, 20187 yr Fed takes the first set over Goffin. Man I hope Djokovic finally wins this tournament for the first time. He's long overdue to win
August 19, 20187 yr If Djoko wins Cincinnati today, he'd be the first player ever to win all nine masters, all four grand slams, the Davis Cup, and the WTF in a single career. That'd be something.
August 19, 20187 yr I have an incredibly hard time believing Fed can challenge at the USO at this point. Cinci courts suit his game so much more and he's been struggling with his ground game and ROS so much. He's relied entirely on his serve to get through his service games...shanking so many balls once he gets into a rally.
August 19, 20187 yr Federer's year has seemingly gone off the rails since his brutal choke at Indian Wells. Ugh.

His projected draw is: Wawrinka, Murray, Kyrgios, Tsitsipas, Djokovic, Del Potro, Nadal. His age has definitely caught up with him.
August 19, 20187 yr Happy Djokovic completed the career Masters slam! I'll pencil him in as the favorite for the US Open with Nadal closely behind Edited August 19, 20187 yr by perfectchaos007

He's ranked #2 and won Stuttgart and made the finals at Cincy. Sure he's not OMG DOMINANT BEST EVAH Federer but he's still top 5 even at his age. I think it's more the top players are getting healthy again - remember he wasn't winning much when Djokovic, Wawrinka, Nadal, and Murray were all healthy. The same guys that were beating him before his recent run weren't around due to injuries. Now that they are back they are beating him again.
August 22, 20187 yr Tennis channel is airing the US Open qualifying rounds live this week. Bouchard just mauled her first round opponent 0,1. I only caught the end of the match but the entire match only lasted 54 minutes
August 22, 20187 yr Author One of her good friends who whined awhile back that she didn’t get as much attention as Genie for physical reasons.

Gotta love Russian tennis players... Edited August 22, 20187 yr by Napoleon
August 22, 20187 yr Oh yeah Zhuk is hot. Vicki Duval unfortunately hasn't gotten back to where she was pre-cancer. Still pretty incredible to even be back on tour though. Her and Andrew Jones should chat about coming back to their sport after Leukemia
August 22, 20187 yr Just watched this 18 year-old hottie defeat some 22 year-old American girl who look like she'd peed in her pants, but has inspiringly already overcome cancer. Gotta love Russian tennis players... I don't think the Russians allow ugly girls to own tennis racquets. It's strictly enforced.
August 23, 20187 yr Just saw the draw comes out this afternoon. Need to see how it shakes out but am leaning towards picking and betting on Djokovic winning on men's side and Halep for the women. Probably square though. Again a lot depends on the draw, but i see Roger prime for an upset here. He hasn't won it since 2008 and has only been in the finals since losing twice. Hope i'm wrong though.
August 23, 20187 yr 50 minutes ago, Bodowned said: Djoker in Roger's quarter. Yeah that's brutal for Roger. On the women's side, Halep got a brutal draw with both Williams sisters, Muguruza, Pliskova, and Barty who's had a good summer.
August 23, 20187 yr I watched a Hungarian tennis player lose in the second round of qualifiers earlier today, but even though she lost, I felt like I had won just for watching her move around the court. I have a new Top 5 favorite women's tennis player. Here's wishing that everyone has a Slav-ly day.
August 24, 20187 yr Wawrinka v. #8 Dimitrov is an incredible first round US Open matchup. Wouldn't surprise me if the betting line on that was even.
September 9, 20187 yr Author Genie is playing in fucking Hiroshima this week instead of Quebec. Who in the flying fuck advises this girl? She just lost in R1 of a Chicago Challenger the other day, so it’s not like she wasn’t already on the continent.

I get trying to climb the challengers for points, but doesn't look like she's actually accomplishing shit at any of these low level events.
September 9, 20187 yr Author Forget all that, she’s fucking Canadian. Play in your goddamn home country, shit.
September 9, 20187 yr Well that kinda goes to my point. I wonder if the Hiroshima organizers are paying her some appearance fee that her home country isn't to show up. I would think lower challenger level events wouldn't have a ton of money to use, but nothing else makes sense.
September 9, 20187 yr She didn't have the best mug in the world, but Gabriela Sabatini was my girl back in the day. Love that body.

September 9, 20187 yr Ha true. Just go with it spy it lightens the mood. Speaking of Simona, I miss her old big titties before breast reduction
September 9, 20187 yr But we’re on the same page regarding Kiki. Long and lean and probably kinky in the sack.
September 9, 20187 yr Okay that girl with the F size breasts is holding the racket like a child at his/her first tennis lesson. I have a feeling she’s not a professional....at tennis
