It’s really crazy to think how dominant he’s been and for how long given how he started. He was always hurt and retired in multiple matches. Somehow he figured out the mental and physical and now at 36 is the GOAT and the fittest tennis player I’ve ever seen.

The grass court results are the most amazing to me. I don't really love when he wins fitness battles. But, he is beating guys with shotmaking on grass. That's what the GOAT return will do. I'm just surprised he hasn't had more years when someone served him off the court. I know the grass is slower than pre-2002, but you still get some bombers like Kevin Anderson and Isner advance deep.

I didn't bet them, but I had been thinking Svitolina +500, Rublev +800 or whatever he was, and even Rune +310 were a little outrageous and that one would probably hit. I feel like Sinner +425 is calling my name.

No love for Alcaraz? Doesn’t have that killer serve or stroke but is most likely to out-Djoker the Djoker.

I think either Sinner or Alcaraz can beat him and I’m debating playing +160 or whatever to find out.

Wimbledon semifinals will be the best in a long time.

I feel like all the fed and nadal fans are really getting behind him with the hype, but I haven’t been overly impressed yet. He will win some slams but that French match on what should be his best surface to take on a 36 year old novak doesn’t instill confidence. I could see rune taking him out here.

Keys goes down. She got a break in the 2nd then gave it right back. It was over for her mentally after that

Back to back double faults from Eubanks early in the match really put him in the hole. Medvedev kind of cruised through that 1st set. No BPs, only faced 40-40 once on serve, and Meddy winning 40% of return points. Eubanks is also struggling at the net so far.

Hopefully it was just nerves and Eubanks can dial in this second set.

Why they play these matches at the same time is beyond me.

Yep, it sucks not being able to really watch both. It's either split screen or flipping back and forth.

Eubanks easily on pace to hit more aces than Meddy has ever given up in a single Wimbledon match.

Eubanks is absolutely grooved right now. Insane.
