Time for Venus to retire. Had control of the second and blew it.


She looked like she could give two shits about being out there. I thought late in the first set when she was down 5-1, she was going to pull the old "Im hurt and need to quit" shite again.

She is uninspired, out of shape and her game is gone. She needs to quit. She is just taking up a spot that another player could be in

When has Venus ever done that?

Lanier doesn't like the Williams sisters. Serena has pulled some petulant child stuff throughout her career, so I get that. But, Venus has always seemed like a class act. She had some legitimate medical problems, I think a weird autoimmune disease.

She has always been much better than Serena but she has not always been so graceful in defeat. I hate it that she got the autoimmune disease. I would not wish that on anyone. But, like the other poster said, its time for her to retire and take care of herself. You could tell last night and in all her recent matches that she is done and really looks like she doesnt want to be out there anymore

I’m honestly not sure if Kim Clijsters or Jack Sock is slower on the court.

Ha, I've always thought Jack must have bad footwork or something. It might just be that he spends so much time running around the backhand that it's an impediment to his game.

I figured it would be a ----show of these types of things. Djokovic is always good for a "physical crisis" or two (his words).

Blake is doing some commentary with Cliff and BG. BG called Shapo the lefty James Blake, basically a guy who blasts the ball and has no other gear. Pretty funny.

Not going well for her. Wish she would take out Osaka but seems unlikely.

What’s people problem with Osaka? I only follow the majors but she seemed like a down to earth person

I thought she seemed really cool at first. She is just going a little overboard with the social justice stuff. She volunteered to tank her semi last week and got bailed out by the tournament pushing things back a day. She has a new mask for every match this tournament in honor of dead people.

I honestly had no idea. That sucks because I rooted for her usually. I hope she doesn’t turn into Serena 2.0.

I see Cressy had a set point vs. Shitsifarts. NextGen probably hates facing dudes like him.

So, Mladenovic apparently had an epic melt. Up 6-1, 5-1, had four match points at 5-2 and lost.

She played cards with Benny P, so they tested her every day (over 30 times total) and she was confined to her hotel room.

Cards? Is that the bubble code word for it?
