re: The Unofficial Wimbledon Thread of 2016

Tsonga/Isner preparing for an epic 5th set. Isner needs to shake these double faults, though.

I'm rooting for Cibulkova on the women's side.

Unclear how "homogenized game" gifts wins.

Fed was gifted wins by vulturing an unspeakably weak post-Sampras era. 2003-2005 was a tennis wasteland.

I think 2004 and 2005 were okay years for tennis. Hewitt, Roddick and Safin were still going strong at that point and Agassi was pretty good as well even though it was old as dirt. 2006 and 2007 were the real weak years. Roddick finished #3 in 2006 despite the fact that he only made it past the fourth round of a slam once that year. And in 2007, Ivan Ljubicic spent most of the year #3 in the world. He might be the worst #3 player ever.

frick John Isner. I don't care that he's an American. I hate his ugly, one-dimensional all-serve game. Somebody end this atrocious match so we can finally watch Kyrgios play.

Isner tennis is miserable to watch.

I hope he quits the Game

Not gonna happen anytime soon. He's playing the best tennis of his career.

Isner is ruining Jo Willie

It's bad enough he doesn't give a frick now he's going to ruin a guy who legit wants to win.

Everybody keeps saying root for the Americans. Well all of the American male players are boring as hell and terrible to watch. At least Roddick had a good offensive baseline game to go along with his serve in his prime. Isner would be a challenger level player without his serve.

Isner doesn't have a tank or heart.

I swear if he'd just acted like he cares people would cheer for him.

The Lasers are still around?

He's like the Jay Cutler of tennis.

I hope he quits.
