September 23, 20187 yr Anderson takes the first set against Sascha! If he prevails, Djokovic vs. Kyrgios will decide the Laver Cup
September 24, 20187 yr The gap in talent/skill between the Europe team and the World team was too much to overcome, ultimately. McEnroe's coaching is a big reason why World was even in it, he manipulated the match-ups well and went all-in with his best pairing (Isner and Sock) to open Day 3.
September 24, 20187 yr Video of the final tie-break between Anderson and Zverev, for anyone interested. Courtesy of this guy, whose videos YouTube often deletes.
September 26, 20187 yr Author The entire top 15 are out of Wuhan before the QFs, that's pretty crazy. http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/draws/2018/1075/MDS.pdf

Lots of the top players who played heavy schedules are fatigued or maybe injured. Reminds me of last year when Jack Sock ran through a super-weak field to win the Paris Masters.

September 28, 20187 yr How long until Serena calls it quits? I can see her AT least playing until 2020. She has zero form this year and made two straight slam finals. I bet she sticks around two try and beat courts record.

September 28, 20187 yr Author This is even fucking crazier. 10 women have, KP & Aga the only two not to win a title.
September 29, 20187 yr Author Remember that Svitolina pic from above? She was up 6-0, 4-1 today & lost. Quote There’s not a lot of secrets. I know how other players play – I don’t pay that much attention, but obvious things are obvious of course,” she told Tennismash at the China Open. “I think also physically she looks different, she lost a lot of weight. And definitely from what I could observe she’s not physically at her best. You can see also with the points and when I try to open her up, she’s definitely one step far from the ball. “So of course I’m aware of it, I see the way she looks, so I see that she’s not as fit as last year. “So I mean you can talk about things, or you don’t talk about these things. But some things are obvious and of course we see each other every week, so it’s inevitable for us to see some changes and hear what’s going on.” - Aleksandra Krunic on Elina Svitolina That is not good.

September 29, 20187 yr Your body needs some stored fat for energy or else you’re susceptible to collapse like that
September 30, 20187 yr Do you really give a shit about this exhibition? This is like the Hopman Cup & that dumbass fail in fucking India. Not only did I care, but I bought expensive seats and flew to Chicago for all three days. It was extremely worth it. Almost every match went to sudden death it was so exciting. Already thinking about going to Geneva next year and making some plans with new friends I made at this one.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
October 1, 20187 yr Author Sweet Jesus, the fucking debacle with beIN is over. One would think the fucking Tennis Channel should carry this. Edited October 1, 20187 yr by spystud13
October 2, 20187 yr Author Ostapenko double-bageled by Wang, the Chinese girl that’s been on fucking fire lately. And Sabalenka, who just beat Wang in the Wuhan final, takes out Garbine. Beijing draw
October 4, 20187 yr Author Angie got bageled in the third by a scrub, Sabalenka just did the same to Garcia. Naomi & Sabalenka are just crushing girls these days.
October 4, 20187 yr Tsk tsk Zverev... relaxed too early and let a very winnable match get away from him

October 7, 20187 yr Author 3 & 3 for Caroline over Sevastova to win Beijing. Edited October 7, 20187 yr by spystud13 Wrong fucking city.
October 10, 20187 yr For my money it's Halep. Osaka is close but she hasn't been as consistent over the course of the entire year.
October 10, 20187 yr Ridiculous to even vote before the Finals. Literally no matter what happens, halep finishes as ye#1 for the second year in a row, over 52 straight weeks in the spot. Hard to imagine what someone could do to have had a better year than her at this point.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
October 10, 20187 yr It’s up there, but there’s a tournament on the men’s tour that has a court that’s literally grey scale. I remember last year catching a match on TV and briefly thought I was watching a match from 50 years ago with black and white cameras
October 11, 20187 yr If we're talking ugly courts, the clay courts in Houston are pretty shoddy-looking
October 11, 20187 yr Federer's still struggling to find his form... but for now, he's through to the quarterfinals in Shanghai
October 12, 20187 yr If we're talking ugly courts, the clay courts in Houston are pretty shoddy-looking ROCC members would not agree.
October 14, 20187 yr Djokovic seems to be back in his 2011-2015 god mode self. Probably gonna win just about anything he wants outside of some tournaments in the clay season next year.
October 15, 20187 yr Author On 10/11/2018 at 8:45 AM, satyanash said: DelPo is out of Shanghai, retired with a knee injury. More bad luck. Quote Juan Martin del Potro has fractured his right patella bone in what the Argentine called "a hard blow that leaves me without strength." Del Potro retired Thursday against Borna Coric at the Shanghai Masters after injuring his knee. Third-seeded Del Potro fell near the end of the first set. The U.S. Open finalist had the knee wrapped but called it quits after losing the first set 7-5. Tests on Saturday showed the fracture, Del Potro's spokesman Jorge Viale tweeted Sunday. "In the coming days, the doctors will evaluate the recovery process needed to return," Viale said.
