Nick Kyrgios is wearing very long, very baggy shorts with white compression stuff underneath it. He looks as ridiculous as he often is.

oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 3 July 2017 10:48 (eight years ago)

Somewhat psyched for this but not as much as for the US Open which I am omg going to this year

oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Monday, 3 July 2017 10:48 (eight years ago)

I am duly envious.

sick tweener from thiem

k3vin k., Saturday, 8 July 2017 18:01 (eight years ago)

mullers been on a great run but if he knocks rafa out i don't even know

johnny crunch, Monday, 10 July 2017 15:36 (eight years ago)

Nadal and Muller appear to have perfectly split sets, but Nadal is 114-99 ahead on pts. Muller is just about hanging on. Not that that necessarily determines the outcome of the 5th in these matches...

(I've been kinda whispering "Cilic and Kuznetsova" to myself since about two weeks ago... still looking very good).

Michael Jones, Monday, 10 July 2017 17:28 (eight years ago)

cilic can look amazing @ times, i had that feeling abt him @ last yrs us open & then he lost to...sock

johnny crunch, Monday, 10 July 2017 17:47 (eight years ago)

Muller Nadal, even so far in the 5th..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 17:53 (eight years ago)

0-30, Nadal two points from the brink..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 17:58 (eight years ago)

DF, two MPs for Muller!!

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:00 (eight years ago)

LOL ace

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:00 (eight years ago)

oh my lord at the net

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:01 (eight years ago)

Another ace to hold.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:02 (eight years ago)

Great pick up from Muller, now 30-0 - last few mins have been electric

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:04 (eight years ago)

held easy, pressure back on now 0-15 Nadal

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:07 (eight years ago)

Muller should've won that, he got to the dp..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:07 (eight years ago)

Just so happy I'm watching this eve tussle.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:14 (eight years ago)

haha comedy drop shot from Muller. I mean it was the shot but when you fail, now deuce...what's the reaction?

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:14 (eight years ago)

fuck me, tosses that off - Nadal BP

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:16 (eight years ago)

serve!

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:16 (eight years ago)

held well in the end.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:17 (eight years ago)

More holds: 8-8

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:31 (eight years ago)

Astonishing stuff. Nadal kept trying to chip away from 40-15 down, goes on to earn two BPs, this one just inside the line.

Muller resisting.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:45 (eight years ago)

omg at the net, one more BP Nadal

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:45 (eight years ago)

and yet one more - phenomenal coverage.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:46 (eight years ago)

jesus, called for BP, corrected (it was right) - another serve.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)

Ace!

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)

amazing for muller - hope he can win this. How did he resist there?

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:49 (eight years ago)

Hawkeye at his best. Nadal might've felt cheated there, but the challenge clears any doubts.

We go on..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:50 (eight years ago)

0-30 now..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:52 (eight years ago)

fkn hell that deep FH. Muller a bit shy there though

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:54 (eight years ago)

now for the winner, spoke too soon! MP..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:55 (eight years ago)

bah, he was never going to lose that

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:55 (eight years ago)

fucking hate the fist-pumping, just lose and fuck off

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:56 (eight years ago)

excellent play from Muller - one more MP

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:58 (eight years ago)

fuck please

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:58 (eight years ago)

lol i mean can you try to be properly aggressive

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:59 (eight years ago)

shit DP

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 18:59 (eight years ago)

ok that was a gorgeous angle at the net for Nadal to hold - urge to kill momentarily fades.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:00 (eight years ago)

10-10

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:00 (eight years ago)

0-30 again, attacking at the net

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:06 (eight years ago)

Muller shitting himself again. I should just to dinner.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:08 (eight years ago)

lmao

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:09 (eight years ago)

wtf was that, like swatting a fly..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:11 (eight years ago)

I'm hungry, won't someone give Muller a spine?

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:18 (eight years ago)

jesus, finally.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:33 (eight years ago)

Think Muller bored him to death. On to lose the next round in straight sets.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 July 2017 19:33 (eight years ago)

They'll be dancing in the streets of Schifflange

Just went looking for the "like" button for that, then realised I wasn't on Facebook.

ailsa, Monday, 10 July 2017 20:09 (eight years ago)

God almighty, do I hope Rybarikovw puts Vandeweghe out of everyone's misery.

Venus is looking spry, and Muguruza seems to be awake, too.

jon_oh, Tuesday, 11 July 2017 16:43 (eight years ago)

rip andy

mookieproof, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 14:53 (eight years ago)

I watched the fourth set, it was BRUTAL

Has Querrey turned a corner? It seems like he is showing a lot more consistency over the past twelve months.

this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Wednesday, 12 July 2017 14:54 (eight years ago)

i swear the third set tiebreaker just ended and when i next looked up querrey was up 3-1 in the fifth

mookieproof, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 14:57 (eight years ago)

idk abt a lot more consistency, tho he played great @ acapulco earlier this yr; getting to a slam semi is great tho obv

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 15:08 (eight years ago)

too many dudes wearing headbands

mookieproof, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 15:53 (eight years ago)

nice that we'll get some fresh blood in the finals in either cilic or quer

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 15:59 (eight years ago)

lol so this is shaping up p good for fed

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 17:27 (eight years ago)

Well Cilic has won the US Open so not exactly fresh.

Such an awful tournament on the men's side.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 21:25 (eight years ago)

wow 2012 querrey/cilic played a 3d rd match that went to 17-15 in the 5th (cilic won)

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 12 July 2017 22:16 (eight years ago)

That press conference question… I mean, come on. Not that I expect Serena to be brought up as a player on the men's tour but it's really fucking easy to give your question enough context so it doesn't seem like you're pretending one of if not THE greatest female player ever isn't still dominating the conversation at this tournament while she's out expecting her first child.

this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Wednesday, 12 July 2017 23:37 (eight years ago)

greatest female athlete ever prob

k3vin k., Thursday, 13 July 2017 00:36 (eight years ago)

hasn't that exact same thing happened before with murray?

mookieproof, Thursday, 13 July 2017 00:51 (eight years ago)

i think so yea @ the olympics iirc

johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 July 2017 00:55 (eight years ago)

Plus Venus made the women's semis literally the day before.

Roz, Thursday, 13 July 2017 09:32 (eight years ago)

Murray's like the Lou Reed of tennis.

weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 July 2017 09:43 (eight years ago)

His shit is worth other people's diamonds?

willem, Thursday, 13 July 2017 10:59 (eight years ago)

looking forward to the ladies final

this iphone speaks many languages (DJP), Thursday, 13 July 2017 15:53 (eight years ago)

Definitely.

Fed has got this unless Cilic plays the match of his life.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 July 2017 16:08 (eight years ago)

That's what I thought at the 2014 US Open when Kei took out Novak. Then Cilic played the match of his life ;)

Michael Jones, Thursday, 13 July 2017 16:22 (eight years ago)

haha well Fed has made clear improvements. His BH looks a lot better now than maybe in 2014? omg and everything.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 July 2017 16:29 (eight years ago)

I hope, I hope.

This epic men's doubles match semi is strangely devoid of tension. 15-16 in the 5th but practically every game is a hold to love... There hasn't been a break point in 26 games.

Michael Jones, Thursday, 13 July 2017 16:42 (eight years ago)

And naturally that was end of the match! 17-15, Marach/Pavic will face Kubot/Melo (who only won 9-7 in the 5th, cheapskates).

Michael Jones, Thursday, 13 July 2017 16:45 (eight years ago)

Well, thank goodness Eltingh/Haarhuis just finished off Castle/Chang - now the final Mixed Doubles QF can get underway*. Seriously, do other Slams make proper tournament events wait for the invitational oldsters to finish what they're doing? Love Martina N obviously, but having her (and Cara Black, Andrea Jaeger, Conchita Martinez) on a showcourt is a bit mad. At least in that case, it's the final match of the day.

(* Pavic probably glad of the rest tbh)

Michael Jones, Thursday, 13 July 2017 18:18 (eight years ago)

yeah the us open does that bullshit also

johnny crunch, Thursday, 13 July 2017 18:26 (eight years ago)

gd closeout by cilic there to avoid a tiebreak

johnny crunch, Friday, 14 July 2017 15:14 (eight years ago)

how close is rog to getting to #1 if he wins out btw

johnny crunch, Friday, 14 July 2017 15:27 (eight years ago)

that berdych error is bruuutal

johnny crunch, Friday, 14 July 2017 16:23 (eight years ago)

it wasnt a rally ball it was a winner that 20/20 top players hit and he netted it

johnny crunch, Friday, 14 July 2017 16:24 (eight years ago)

hasn't that exact same thing happened before with murray?

this! I think that previous time it was also about Serena or Venus.

Ludo, Friday, 14 July 2017 20:05 (eight years ago)

one of the many reasons i love murray

k3vin k., Friday, 14 July 2017 21:25 (eight years ago)

Bits and pieces of watching some of the games and I've a feeling Muguruza will win. Don't mind, 9-7 on the 3rd set plz.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 12:58 (eight years ago)

Does the roof put anyone here at an advantage?

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 12:58 (eight years ago)

Venus serving 1st: Ace first point; Muguruza 15-15 after a rally

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:11 (eight years ago)

holds. Muguruza starts her service game with a DF

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:15 (eight years ago)

Played fantastic stuff - Venus didn't get another point.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:17 (eight years ago)

On serve however Muguruza is splaying that FH everywhere rn. Venus keeping the points short.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:25 (eight years ago)

Hard for Muguruza to win with that forehand.

weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:27 (eight years ago)

Astonishing cross court winner from Venus then wastes the BP

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:29 (eight years ago)

Hold.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:30 (eight years ago)

oh dear missed call and Muguruza was on top. Replay and she wins that with another terrific return

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:35 (eight years ago)

BP Mg

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:36 (eight years ago)

damn, deep 2nd serve to save

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:36 (eight years ago)

now DF back to deuce

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:38 (eight years ago)

lol ace

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:38 (eight years ago)

holds in the end

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:40 (eight years ago)

Good final so far - on serve.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:42 (eight years ago)

Muguruza has to serve to stay in the 1st set.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:45 (eight years ago)

Astonishing rally with BH winner form Venus, taking it by the scruff of the neck

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:47 (eight years ago)

Two SPs Venus.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:48 (eight years ago)

rally of the match and is just one point! One more BP to go

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:49 (eight years ago)

SP

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:50 (eight years ago)

Saves both - deuce

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:50 (eight years ago)

Stands up tall. On we go, terrific.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:51 (eight years ago)

Now a BP Muguruza

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:54 (eight years ago)

oh my lord what a fucking FH

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:55 (eight years ago)

fucking god rally #2 to break

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:56 (eight years ago)

just so much hard-hitting. Muguruza to serve for the set

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:57 (eight years ago)

poor at the net: 0-15

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:59 (eight years ago)

Venus' FH hasn't been all that great either. 15 all

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 13:59 (eight years ago)

wtf what a get, Venus in control then the defensive lob lands in the corner

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)

2 SPs

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)

1 sp - Venus makes sure this time

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)

outlasting on the big rallies to win that set.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:02 (eight years ago)

Now broken straight away - Garbine in control.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:10 (eight years ago)

Easy UEs to hand the next game. I hope she can re-group. There is a bit of time.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:14 (eight years ago)

One more BP..

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:16 (eight years ago)

Double break!

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:17 (eight years ago)

4-0, and its now 0-15..

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:22 (eight years ago)

5-0. People going on about tiredness but Muguruza's play is awesome to watch. Ruthless - to serve for the Championship.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:25 (eight years ago)

Played so great. Venus did go walkabout on that 2nd set.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:29 (eight years ago)

Such a bizarre set.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)

and a sad to see.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 15 July 2017 14:31 (eight years ago)

thoroughly deserved but winning on a challenge is so weird

This is not really one of the great finals is it?

Matt DC, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:32 (eight years ago)

pretty boring tournament

k3vin k., Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:50 (eight years ago)

Feel like the injury completely killed the match as a spectacle but you can't begrudge him that.

Matt DC, Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:53 (eight years ago)

that was shite

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Sunday, 16 July 2017 14:56 (eight years ago)

yea not a great tourney tbh

johnny crunch, Sunday, 16 July 2017 15:43 (eight years ago)

was on a plane / in transit for entirety of that match so i am feeling very pleased rn

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 16 July 2017 17:02 (eight years ago)

So glad I missed this - just horrible on the men's side.

Women's tennis is in much better shape rn.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 16 July 2017 20:28 (eight years ago)

i watched for like half an hour and it was dismal sure but not fed's fault and i'd rather there was one man playing that well than closely-fought mediocrity
