6 lucky losers in the mens draw & stan/grigor 1st rd jump out @ me

murray w/draws

fucking sucks!

sharipova/diatchenko are killing the ball, each trying to outgrunt the other

diatchenko is cute

good action im proud of espn for splitscreening this (sharapova/diatch & ostapenko/katy dunne)

ostapenko is an incredible talent altho her baby face reminds me of

Cilic should have finished Pella off quick-style last night (up 6-3 6-1 3-2) but the rain threw him off balance and now he's fighting for his life - already saved 3MPs in the 5th.

Meanwhile, Nadal-Kuku is a classic early-round Rafa grind (clay or grass, doesn't matter) - Kuku has had 11 BPs and only taken one.

In other news, immensely tall ace machine who I like loses (Karlovic, 60+ aces, went 3.5 hours without facing BP), immensely tall ace machine who I don't care for wins (Isner, only BPs he faced in whole match were MPs).

im sure somewhere lex enjoyed the bitchy shade woz threw @ makarova post-match saying i really dont see her advancing much further

& yea baad loss for cilic

Yeah, that was something. Cilic gone!

Extraordinary hitting from Van Uytvanck, the champ blown away. Zverev outplayed in a third set t/b by Taylor Fritz - Sascha glad to get off without playing further at 8:50pm, trails 1-2.

gutsy by rodina over keys, nearly gave up a huge lead

williams vs kiki to the second power rn, both compelling

props, bertens!

rog still looking godly & gonna be off the court w/ rest til monday v shortly

few nights ago saw a re-air of the 2012 final where he beat murray..that was hi level, hes better now; also mcenroe commented during that match, i think after andy took the first re: wimbledon titles, "who knows how many chances roger has left"?

PEDs are crazy man

excuse me it's a psychiatric disorder

its jarring to see pella/mcdonald on television

& into the 4th round, Mackenzie McDonald

Nishikori!!

Looks like a good match but I'm not watching rn

lmao gulbis bageling sascha gulbis in the 5th.. was he hurt? zverev can go on to have a multi-slam career, & prob will, but that is insane

sascha *zverev* i mean

He seems to do this a lot - bagel or breadstick deciding sets. Fades badly. I wonder about him - though I guess Fed was similar at this age. Kei was outstandingly good. Little shook at Halep's collapse. Djokovic is grinding through the draw like a team no one fancied to win the WC but who actually might because there is no Brazil '70 in the competition. (Except there is, at the top of the draw).

its amazing how hsieh can rattle the best players, esp ones who shd be able to hit thru her; i would think cibu would be able to get past her next but who knows

Yes!!

smh

Nadal DFs in the set point for the 2nd!!

Delpo making lots of UEs on Nadal's points so..

SP on Delpo's serve

come on you shit

serve is keeping him alive

SP Delpo come on..

awesome!!

Not sure where this is going to go but at least no rafa-rog final.

Not sure where this is going to go but at least no rafa-rog final.

Yeah thank god for this, esp with this year being the 10th anniversary of *that* match and all. I wouldn't be able to stomach the commentary.

would've been such a pale shadow of it too.

Go Delpo, its on serve at the 3rd

man those reactions at the net from delpo

I always thought Isner would just fade away. Good on him staying in contention for the top rung.

Nadal just getting into delpo's service game..

Nadal pulled one long in delpo's 2nd serve and Nadal has to serve to stay in the set

nadal leaving the court is it

great defending from Nadal forcing one more shot from delpo at 40-30. he makes it: on serve

into a 5th btw

"just got casual for a second"

warming to the idea of a France England final now

30-30 on delpo's serve.

what a god rally and that's for 40-30

follows up at the net deuce

what a game and it could be a crucial hold.

great winner nadal to break

fucking rafa

ah lucky i went to bed after the second set. would've been so annoyed by Delpo going two sets up only to lose.

I guess I'm going to ignore the men's side from now... what a boring line-up.

this is obviously ghastly but anyone supporting isner is the worst savage alive

for these 2 players, its been a p compelling match imo

i also sorta like isner btw obv not his politics (tho who cares) but just running down that shot & straight to his chair was cute

oh does he have dodgy politics? that just adds to the charm

def went to the Sampras/Roddick charm school meaning he has none

he looks tired while ka looks fresh

The five breaks of serve and the third set t/b were outstanding. The last hour has rather reverted to type, however.

yea i do think there prob shd be a 5th set tiebreak, maybe after 9-9 as one of these commentators suggested...endurance tennis is not a good look

Boys’ singles semi is 13-13 in the 3rd, btw.

Anderson-Isner sailed past Edberg-Chang USO92 (which I think was the longest Slam semi) around 20min ago.

i wonder how long this needs to go on, before they will have to delay the final until monday. And if this happens, this might be the moment they'll end this tradition of endless matches.

17-17 in the boys’. Child abuse.

are they servebot types ?

this shit is never ending

Draper beat Mejia 19-17. Not familiar with either of them.

Isner is surely suffering more but keeps hitting the lines with serves at 0/30.

It has to be Anderson. I don’t believe Isner would be capable of winning six games in the final.

thank goodness for that

the left-handed shot!

Astonishing. And that’s three incredible wins in a row. The Monfils match wasn’t far off Del Potro-Nadal in quality. I hope he wins it. I don’t think he will.

if he wins a set in the final it'll be quite something

yea would be a crazy, all-time path if he wins on sunday; big serve gives him a reasonable-ish chance

good riddance, isner. man i despise everything about him.

is he a trumpian or something

yes but despised him b4 learning that

for purely pure tennis reasons

hm well i'm glad he lost!

meanwhile they're still going wtf since when has this been a thing

agree its kindof weird to see wimbledon under the lights

quality obv insane. like i don't watch much tennis these days but even i can tell it's good shit

o yea that tiebreak was insane/great quality

Kinda glad for yesterday's servebot marathon as I get to what 2 sets of Novak - Rafa, or the actual final

fuck knows how Boris is getting through this match - clearly had a few heavy nights.

just awesome, god rally, how did Djoko get out of that?

daring Djoko to pass - makes it.

7-7, adv D

such a titanic game.

Novak just about gets through alive, never mind to fight the next game! 8-7

embarrassing at the net for Nadal: 15-30

one more god rally: 30-30. Nadal celebrates as if he's won the match!

here we are: 1st MP Djoko

had to get that drop at the net absolutely right

8-8

Djoko should just finish this. Damn it.

3 MPs now..

does it at the first, slightly tame finish but another classic!

Novak heavy, heavy favourite tomorrow in a final I do not care for at all.

Kerber racing out of the blocks here! Break and hold: 2-0

Serena wins her first game but Kerber has been impressive: returns setting some extended rallies and cool at the min.

Serena has played some good stuff and has 3 break backs

Serena hitting winners now, serves an ace too

damn! The next service game for Kerber is going to be big.

Couple of beautiful FHs from Kerber. Onslaught averted - for now!

DF, 0-30 on serena's serve

one more DF, Serena's playes two great points but Kerber gets Serena into a rally to break!

Serena anguished at that awful FH, follows with some power on the return at the next. hot and cold!

Kerber feels as if she's hanging on at times - UEs flowing from Serena's racket.

Kerber is always getting her into rallies and in this case to play one more shot: 0-30 on the next Serena game

Kerber breaks her for the first set

Its Kerber's defending that is so impressive

Kerber is just letting go beautifully here.

lol Serena finally makes it at the net

and gets the game, and now throwing the kitchen sink @ Kerber

what a point!

at the net on the 2nd serve

Kerber gets through that rough patch

still on serve

Kerber 40-0, now deuce!! one more rough patch

unforced error, adv

and at the net, v disappointing

serena finally working the point

aargh stopping hitting the net woman!

and Kerber working serena: 15-30

what court coverage from Kerber: 2 BPs

what a winner from Kerber!!

going down in a blaze of UEs: 5-2

Most impressive service game from Serena - now Kerber to serve

ong - what defence from Kerber!!

omg!!

now Serena drop shots, fuck what a game!

what a return!

what a winner Kerber - for CP!!

done it!!

lol not even one post today.

haha I was about to do my one post, well done Djoko on dispatching this waster in three sets. Never forgive you Fed :)
