I mean, there isn't much argument against him as tGOAT anyway, but if he wins this one, damn. The cynic in me says its some showmanship, otherwise its hard to explain short of him being a cyborg. He def is a master at managing effort level according to the moment and of not "winning the battle but losing the war".

Yup. He is very robotic on the court… his cardio is top notch and his body type fits every part of his game.. it’s very hard to bet against him in a 5 setter.. if they meet, Carlos better get him in 4.

Zverev and Rune going five. Maybe the men should just play two out of three.

Novak is +114 against Ruud on Wednesday. You should bet the trailer on it, PJ.

But don't even try to talk me into sprinkling shitsy pants.

I might even lay heavy wood on The Pied Piper* at -465.

Awesome.

Rafa should really retire now. I don't see the point of the retirement tours. I hate to see him being a shell of himself.

Hell, I didn't even like seeing Roger be a shell of himself, and I was never a fan of the guy.

Man what’s happened to Tiafoe? He’s been straight arse for the last year or so ever since he made that run to the semis in the US open.




He never really peaked.

I've heard he's kind of lazy.

FAA was bullying Rafa around the court two years ago at RG. He just has some confidence issues at times. I think he had a bunch of nagging injuries or is a hypchondriac.


Is Uncle Toni still coaching him?

Medvedev got his feet taped for blisters and DeMinaur has taken over since that point.


Demon has been money.

I actually sprinkled him in a future at +8K

(And casper at +1800)

clinical...dispatched the Wimbeldon champ like she was a qualifier

the Women's draw looks to have a good chance of being chalk for semis and should be interesting. Then again if Iga keeps this up might not be.

I had a feeling this would happen. No reason to take a chance on further damage.

I had thought Casper was going to be a matchup that would present some problems for him given the two prior long matches and the ailing knee.

I know this is the RG thread, but I'm gonna edit this to add that the 4 week timeline between now and Wimbledon is gonna be a problem for him. I don't see how he's gonna be good to go.

Terrible news. I was worried something like that had happened.
