That match was such a disappointment. I thought it may be the best of the tournament. Keys played like crap

Well, that was easy. Too bad we have to wait another hour for Tennys.

You guys mentioned the Tennys tweets. I mean, I am MAGA, not politically correct, despise SJWs and all that, but you can't be calling Serena disgusting and trashing gays if you want any endorsements. But, if he DGAF, good for him.

The fact that people are actively researching this stuff and making it a big deal... you don’t see that as a problem? In other sports, criminal activity is overlooked, but we want to hang the dude for tweets? Can’t we just keep political views out of sports?

Sandgren can take this if Chung makes some errors.

Chung was painting lines against Djokovic. And of course Djokovic made a ton of unforced errors.

Are you saying you don't think Federer will ever play the French again?


The things that dictated his decision to not play last year have not, and will not, change.

So is Rafa really hurt or did he feel like he was going to lose anyway?



Even suggesting that about Rafael Nadal kills your credibility. I mean, holy balls, I can't think of a sillier thing to say. A statement that Rafa might have faked an injury to avoid battling out a match in the 5th set is exactly as accurate as "that guy Kei Nishikori is sure built study. Guy just never seems to get hurt."

Seriously. We're talking about the greatest competitor not only in tennis, but quite possibly sport in general.

You should feel dumb for writing that, and you should expect a tone of mocking condescion from me on this board in perpetuity.

I seriously can't believe I just read that. You should kick yourself in the dick Really hard.

When Fed was Nadals age now (31), he was having to compete against a 26 year old Nadal, yet midnightvibe and Nadaltards thought that was a fair comparison.......


When Fed was 31 he was progressing llike a normal 31 year old might.

One can speculate on why he is having a second prime at 36.

I'm not suggesting anything sinistter because lots of athletes have done the same. You know, like Barry Bonds. And, uh, yeah Barry Bonds.

I haven't seen any of those. The ones that I saw were held up as being like neo-nazi-esque and weren't at all imho. But it isn't like I was going to go through his twitter and peruse for an hour.

I'm very sad about Rafa.

1. He was in good form. He might have won this thing.
2. I didn't like the way he was walking. That could be a not-minor deal.

On top of that, if you can move at all, there’s always a chance that your opponent chokes the set/match away to you.

Happened for him against Stan in the 2014 final

ETA: a set
