Fed is through 4 and 4, mostly servebotted his way through, looking good in the Uniqlo henley and still wearing Nike shoes.

I'm probably the only one watching but Serena and Kvitova are playing some serious big girl tennis right now. Worthy of a US Open semifinal type tennis

Looks like Sock has eight straight singles losses. His ranking is going to die when Paris comes off the books.

I just noticed pride's boy, Mike Venus, beat Sock/Bryan last week and lost in the super tiebreak in the finals. He's doing good work out there.

From the perspective of watching on TV, Fed just looks distracted or annoyed or something. Doesn't look dialed in mentally. Of course this is a rec player making observations on a 20 time GS winner, so take it with a grain of salt.

I think the court is super quick. He normally likes that, but he said the outside courts weren't playing like that at all and he felt like he and Gojowcyk were swinging for the fences.

He has also made the finals of 2/7 grand slams with different partners, while winning one of them


Its safe to say Mikey is one of the top doubles players in the world now

Nick's knees are even more taped up than last week. At least he remembered his tennis shoes when he came on the court tonight.

We have been complaining about the Nike pink and yellow highlighter clothes the last few years. They are now doing some things that may be worse. Shapo will be in this


Speaking of shirts, I just spent the last 10-15 minutes searching for that Rafa wedgie picking t-shirt that I swear to god was available for sale on the internet a few years ago, but now is nowhere to be found.

IIt was like a pretty well done drawing of him picking at his butt while getting ready to serve. Very minimalist on the drawing -- basically just a sketch -- but you could absolutely tell who it was and what he was doing.

If I had any artistic talent of my own, I would just try to do the drawing myself and do a custom t-shirt.

I have no artistic talent whatsoever. Unfortunately.

My bro was in cincy the last two days, and all he can talk about is how much of a headcase Honey Nut is.

I saw that as well. Biggie ups to Mikey. He's killing it.

The jizzrag situation is starting to get really painful. He's a better tennis player than this and is clearly in his own head at this point. I hate to suggest that he needs to fire knowlzee, because I like knowlzee and this certainly can't be put on him (and plus I don't even think they've been working together that long), but maybe he just needs to switch up the scenery a bit.

Seriously, it's getting cringe-worthy. He's not even getting started in my fantasy tennis league.
