I can hit one, I just have no consistency on it. I might be wrong or misinterpreting what you’re saying, but I feel like there are a lot of decent players at the junior level that can’t hit one handers to save their life.

Is Nick an original? Or is he just stealing this shtick from Serena?

He's a shitehead, but I think he legitimately has a screw loose and is not just a lazy, entitled baby. So, I give him a little bit of a pass.



It's so weird how he gets up for matches like 2% of the time.

You have a standard 2-hander but can’t hit a 1-hander? That seems weird to me. Is your left arm doing all the work?

I can hit the 1-hander way harder than 2, but I can’t control it so I never use it in matches.



I have a standard 2-hander and can't hit a topspin 1-hander with any stability. It's all over the place. The 2-hander is a way better product.

I beg to differ. It isn't even one of the best backhands in tennis history.

Alright, be forewarned I am not even an amateur level photographer, but I had 3rd row seats to the semi yesterday and figured I had to post a couple pics.

Monfils-Tsitsipas was some really good tennis, although I was pissed Tsits won, really don't like that dude.

Fed-Coric was just a vintage bloodbath. Coric was punch drunk two games in, it was the ole "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" Tyson sort of thing, dude just couldn't put up any fight.

Anyways, great event and insane to watch such elite players in such a tiny venue.

I'm so jealous. I caught a few seconds of tsetse/Monfils, but haven't really been paying much attention to that tournament and didn't realize Fed is in it.

Some idiot on here last year claimed that Federer would never win another tournament. Screw that guy.

So...I think it's fair to say that Rafa is not a huge fan of honey nut.

I was that idiot. It did take him a year. At least he won a decent 500 and not a Stuttgart 250.

Looking forward to Kyrgios/Alex tonight.

Nick was up a set and a break, serving at 30-0 and cruising. Got broken and I thought he would crumble. He just played some genius stuff to break. Let's see if he can serve it out.

Maybe this will be a big turning point.

I won't bet on it, but maybe.

Main draw matches at IW start on Thursday. The main draw still hasn't been posted, which is weird. That seems unusual, no?
