I wouldn't mind seeing some Edberg/Becker. I think they played three finals in a row.

I had the UTS schedule wrong. They are playing the semis and finals today. Gasquet and Berrettini on now, Tsitsipas and Goffin is next.

I’m picking Goffin to win it all. That Frog can play some clutch tennis. Thank you for the heads up Bunkster.

Tsetse and Berrettini at 4:00 eastern. I love Goffin, but he doesn't hit a big ball and the pace of these guys will show through on the UTS cameras.

That guy is strong as an ox. It's awesome watching him with that court level view.

I'll have to check out the highlights of that final.

Here's the updated draw in Berlin. Berrettini is playing there too. Wonder if anyone remembers RBA made the Wimby semis last year.

Sinner +200 vs. Thiem. Get it while it's hot.

It's interesting trying to figure out who will play the US Open at this point.

A video of Rafa was posted today, and everyone in the comments seem to think that him practicing on clay means he's out for NY.

Then you have Novak still on the fence, supposedly. I think he will play but he's just using his status as leverage in an effort to bring his entourage.

Thiem appears fully committed, and I still think he would be a great bet even at 10/1 these days.

You have to figure guys are going to put their heart and soul into NYC if Rafa and Nole don't show. Thiem will probably play both, if healthy. Heck, he could sweep em.

I bet T Haas could make the fourth round of Wimbledon right now.

Funny you say that. I just checked the Wimbledon odds and had to take Roger at +900 when I saw it. Probably dumb, but I mean he was literally a point from winning in 2019 and he also beat The Hammer 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. And it's not like surgery messed up his rhythm the last time he had it.

The 2009 men’s Wimbledon Finals is coming on Tennis Channel in about 45 minutes. That was the last time I took it hard that an American men’s player lost a match. I have about 10 WTA players that I really take it hard when they lose especially in Slams. Damn I wanted Andy Roddick to win that Wimbledon he came out on fire in that first set.


It's arguably the best match he ever played.

So, they're playing tennis these days? I've been out of the loop.

Do y’all still think the US Open will be played on time with no fans in the stands? I think that is bullshite imho and it a’int happening.

Not sure about fans, but I would put the event at about 50/50, which is unreal. It's heroic these days to skip events.

Hammer takes the first set off Thiem. Of course I didn't bet it.

ETA: Thiem is even decent on grass now.

This grass court match with Dominic Thiem vs Berrettini is pretty good Crack. I’m really liking it.
