Yea Bunk I love my Czech Amazons like the Pliskova twins and Petra. How is the Canuck bomber Raonic doing? I don’t have espn+ they don’t give credit cards to people like me.

Everyone here laughs at him, but the guy can take anyone out other than Djoker or Nadal. Up 6-4, 3-0 on Cilic.

I don’t laugh at Milos and back in 2014 I predicted Raonic would win at least one Wimbledon. I thought he’d ace his way to one. I know you don’t care about WTA but
I’m pulling hard for Kenin tonight it’s so obvious all of espn and the tennis channel are pulling hard for Gauff. I was a Kenin fan after Sofia upset Serena at Roland Garros. Plus Kenin has the game to challenge Barty who I think is the eventual AO winner.

Sounds like they are going to put Kenin/Coco on now, even though it's on the third show court.

Meelosh about to go up two sets.

This shite is goofy. Cilic just hit his first ace. Now he only needs 18 to catch Raonic.

I know Cilic played a couple long matches but damn.

Somehow the oddsmakers always know.

It is incredible how close those Vegas oddsmakers can call it. With tennis and ncaa football and basketball.
If I had the disposable cash I’d drop a big chunk on Ash Barty and Novak. Joker treats Melbourne like Nadal treats Roland Garros. It’s his personal den + living room. Barty will ride the crowd to her second Slam. She’s serving like an Amazon at 5’5 too.

Awe yea ESPN always screws me when I want to watch Madison Keys and Sonya Kenin every time they show some other match but they won’t dare not show 15 year old CoCo Gauff. They have to comply tonight the bastards punish me for not having espn+.

Kenin’s skirt is absurd.

Outstanding drop shot by Kenin that was a Chrissy Evert drop shot. if CoCo can’t run it down at the net nobody can.

ETA: Yea her skirt is the shortest I think I’ve ever seen on the WTA.

Kenin better get this break back. Gauff is too dangerous to toy with. I’ve been noticing a bunch of moms and dads on the local tennis courts around Baltimore with their young daughters trying to groom the next CoCo, Serena, or Venus. Out there hitting in the winter too.

That’s a good point Evert just made this match in Melbourne and Roland Garros in June might decide who gets that 4th spot on the Olympic team in Japan. This will be a future intense rivalry.

It looks like the diminutive Hebrew Diego Schwartzman is hanging tough with Novakin the first set.

Damn CoCo is playing like a veteran. Her natural athletic talent + her tennis savvy is going to be hard to beat for years to come. She’s here to stay.

We’ve said that about Seles Capriatti and others. Injuries or life can derail everything.

Wait until she goes full time. She’s got talent but just wait, all I’m saying.

I respect your cautious approach concerning Gauff and they can’t burn her out on the capitalist side of things too like an atm machine. But she has a talent superior to Seles and and Jennifer Capriatti.

Diego is about to go down hard. Novak might not drop a set until the finals. I’m sticking with my Barty and Novak winner’s prediction.

I don’t think she’s more talented than Seles. Seles Hingis and Graf were all so talented and they played all styles when needed, although they preferred hitting it all day

If Seles isn’t stabbed she is with probably 25 Slams

Hingis is the ultimate case of what if
