Ha ha ha, sure,….

I do not want drug cheats in tennis, so maybe we could agree on that. It just does not help to just anonymously claim things, if you, or lsupride, have some real info you should get that to someone.

Joker ain’t serving well.
Like 4/18.
Zverev had 5 break points. Blew them all.
Now he’s choking on serve.

Yeah, thought we would get a high quality match from Djoker and Zverev in a Grand Slam semi, but……definitely “scratchy” so far.

With all the volleys thus far, this is a pretty boring match.

Totally blows, I was hoping for #25 but I think that ship may have sailed. Its why I made sure to go to the AO this year and get QF tickets as I figured Joker would at least get there. Turns out I called it pretty well and got the match of the tourney.

Him retiring came out of nowhere. I wonder if he would’ve stayed in another set had he won the tiebreaker

Doubt it.
For Novak to quit, he was in pain.
He wasn’t hitting winners today, you could tell he was hanging on.
The guy is a machine, but as Fowler just said, “Father Time is undefeated”.

We're close to being without the Big 3 very soon.

Very much so, and then transitioned into tennis nerd technical talk.

Impressive interview.

Shelton completely choked the 1st set. It was his for the taking and he donated point after point when he was serving for the set. Headed to a tie break.

ETA: choking in the tie break as well

Sinner is just playing out of his mind right now. He's so good that he is starting to psyche other player's out. You have to be perfect to compete against this guy. This does not bode well for Zverev, as well as he played in the one set today. Sascha is gonna have to have an A+ serve to stand a chance.

I'm really hoping Zverev can get his first GS win

Sinner is just so good right now. He's in that flow state that people talk about. Even when he was sick or whatever the other day, he still had it.
Almost everything he hits is right on the screws. He's making legitimately good players look like they're nothing. It's impressive to watch.
