Foe just got a break in the 2nd!

eta: How in the world does he make that grip work? It's like a full reverse continental. I've seen people play with that, but they never could get power on the ball with their wrist so twisted.

He has to have the most drastic difference between forehand and backhand in the game. His BH is as flat as it gets. I guess Kyrgios is similar, but Foe has more topspin on the FH.

He just broke again.

I’m stealing tits from you.

On second thought, I’ll go with Titsy instead.

Shitsypants wins.

Looks like Grigs and Foe had a cracker.

His groundstrokes are, uh, not exactly textbook. And to my eye, not in a good way, either. It makes me wonder what his ceiling is.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy balls...a whole day with no tennis ticker or betting and this is the surprise I get. I'm thinking that there is a God..and he wants to focus more on work and less on tennis.

Dear Shapo,

Come on, dude. I get your back on a message board, and then you go and lose to Robin Thicke Soderling Haase?

Where's the reciprocity here, buddy?

You hurt my feelings.

Eh, Steve and Lindsay, I don't think Rafa is playing all that well, tbh.

6/10

I think the US Open is finally gonna be the Next Gen major. I'm seeing Zverev around 10/1 and I really like that.

He doesn't look all that into the match, honestly. Body language is poor. Also when they zoom in on his face he just looks tired.

He's never not the best competitor in sports.

This just isn't his finest tennis.

I agree.

I'm trying to lay some money on him now, before he maybe wins Toronto and Cincinnati and his odds rise significantly.
