Screw it im going to blast away

The slowing of courts the heavier balls and making all surfaces more beneficial for rallies is boring. It has taken away variety and it’s awful.

Nadal will make a 2 hour match last 4 by his style and then add an extra 2 for his butt digs and panty pulls

Harrison over Cuevas in straights. He gets Cilic next.

While I am all Grigor is one of the few guys who can beat the big dogs and spice up the tournament near the end. He's just fun to watch. But, he will probably take the gaspipe in a round or two as he always does. I'm really rooting for big dick Nick.

By the way, the AO website is complete AIDS. It's down all the time and slow when it's up. I don't see IBM plastered all over it like I usually do. They must have some rinky dink IT guy running it.

Agree on both points 100%. I thought AO was supposed to be the more modernized slam, but holy jesus that website and app are garbage.

Bouchard vs Halep at 3:00 am EST I’m looking forward to seeing a good match.

Bunk did you notice I did pretty good this year. I made it 3 days without having a melt about the courts and style of tennis

That's pretty good. The court situation doesn't bother me other than Wimbledon. But, I used to melt and say shite like Rafa would be Jim Courier or Thomas Muster without poly strings. I mostly just appreciate him now, though, in his elder stages.

Whatever the reason for the grindball, I wish we could go back to the early '90's sometimes when I see five hours of 30 shot rallies.

Love it. I hate Kunta more than any chick player, I think.

I’d love to see some serve bots on this as well as in London. The grinders can have Paris and New York can be a free for all

This heat might produce some weird results today. Goffin has had major problems with it in the past.

He didn't look good early in his first match and it had me thinking the lil fella is going to get beat down by the heat at some point.

Yeah that extra set he played won’t help either.

Medvedev is another one who comes to mind.

Muguruza is struggling in the first set. I’m counting on her to maybe beat Sharapova for me. I can’t stand Sharapova or het annoying screaming.

Kerber might be able to do us a solid and knock out Sharapova.

This fuc stick is actually gonna win.

I am usually pro-Maria, but there was something unfair/annoying about her knocking out Halep in R1 of USO and I really got concerned she would win the whole enchilada. But, we can chill out, I don't think she has the consistency to get through 7 matches anymore. I think Angie gets er done. If not, A-rad or Mug should. After that, look out.
