Something about the umpire wouldn't grant him a bathroom break so thats when he proceeded to go into the locker room / tunnel area and smash the two rackets before returning to the court. I used to think the guy was just a quirky personality / loose cannon but he clearly has some kind of mental issues going on with his behavior.

Doesn’t he take like 3-4 seconds to serve anyway?

This Keys vs Halep match on Tennis Channel right now. It’s a baseline slug fest and it’s 6-5 Keys in the third set with Halep in serve. Great match and I predict Keys will win The Open in New York

Hell Yes! Madison Keys pulls it out 6-1 3-6 7-5. Snaps a five game losing streak to Halep. I’d love to see Maddie hold up US Open hardware.

That loss should hurt Fed was up 8-7 with the break in the 5th set. That loss hurt bad and Serena getting torched by Halep. That was a brutal Wimbledon but a fun one. I see Nadal challenging Chokeabitch at the US Open. I think you’re right, Fed might not recover from that Wimby loss. He may be done with 20 Slams.

Sometimes I think Kyrgios would probably be in jail or institutionalized in some fashion if he wasn't really good at tennis. His antics are funny at times but I also think he legitimately has some deep-seeded psychical turmoil/problems with authority or something. He is always railing against umpires and causing scenes on court. It's almost become his trademark to the point where I wonder if he does it just because that is what people know him for -- then he has an episode like last night that indicates that he truly is a bit mad. He tanked the 3rd set as well.

Rublev played a great match against Federer, was blistering the ball and playing very aggressive, I think he surprised Federer a bit and then Federer started to look very shaky towards the end. Rublev did not get nervous in the big moments, good poise for a young player. Wonder how many more Cincys Fed will play, he looked somewhat dejected going off court.

I truly believe that silly Australian should be a soccer player and he’s a good enough athlete to do it. Kyrgios is a great athlete he’s just not a tennis player imho. He will never win a Grand Slam he needs to play rugby or soccer for Australia. He could act out and do all that silly soccer, qwar crap.

Dick Gasket into the semis. The wee one wins in a walkover over Nishioka. What a lousy tournament. Bring on Flushing Meadows stat.

Man, Cincinnati's crowd is really boring. It's like watching a non-major golf tournament. Just no energy there whatsoever.

I was planning on going to the final. But I'm not driving to see Djoker bulldoze some schmuck in an hour.

I’m looking forward to seeing Madison Keys play Sonya Kenin on hard court. They both are my two favorite young, post Serena - Venus era, American players. Along with Stephens, CoCo Gauff and Amanda Anisimova .

Just noticed fake Nishi withdrew. For 5’7”, that dude can play some tennis.

What the hell is Dicky Gasket doing in a Masters semi? Do the deed Daveed.

There is still a better price on Daniil (33/1) than Zverev (25/1) to win the Open.

Gilbert went nuts yesterday that he is the fourth favorite for the Open. Didn't he have like 22 DFs the other day?
