re: 2017 Non-GS Tennis Thread

That whole 3rd set... wow.

He blew 4 break points down 2-4 before finally breaking. Then he misses a volley up 5-3 in the breaker that he never misses in doubles.

Delpotro's forehand is the most impressive shot in tennis to me.

Agreed

Holy fricking shite I heard that too. I actually want to verify that. That is by far the lowest tension I have ever heard of.

Eta I can't imagine how a player could control a ball at that tension. It would be like a trampoline.

I'd be interested in hearing what Mcenroe strings his racquet at. He strung it an insanely low number when they were still using gut/synethic gut. Not 37 low, but you would never string a racquet with gut at 37.

I think that loss to Kyrgios might have lit a huge fire under Novak.

Very well could be.

Disagree, but I'm partial to Sock, so maybe...

What a time to be a tennis fan

I just assumed I misheard that. That's unreal. With my weak topspin I'd never get a ball in play.

Hopefully TotallyTigers has Stadium 1 seats for tomorrow. The schedule is so ridiculous they had to put Stan on Stadium 2

We are ready to go.

We're hitting up Kei vs. Donald Young to start the day on Stadium 1. Then heading over to Stadium 2 for Goffin vs. Cuevas after that. Then back to Stadium 1 for Djok-Kyrgios and Fedal XXXVI. Then hoping to make it back to Stadium 2 to catch the end of the Stan match. Then gonna grab dinner and gonna watch Monf vs. Thiem as the late night cap on Stadium 1. ??

Hopefully will get to catch some WTA, doubles matches, and practice sessions in between.

So, Kyrgios/Djoker at 6 eastern and Nadal/Federer about 8 eastern. Oh my.

I wanted to get back some of my loss from the Aussie final, but they have Rafa at -150 today wtf.
