The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

[Sinner]

Meanwhile, it's Grigor vs Kei in Shanghai... we've had such high-hopes.

 

[Sinner]

LaMonfils!

 

[champcruthik]

Roger looks washed up between the US Open and Shanghai.

Back injury for Nishikori.

Appalled by Roger's lack of aces on a fast surface.

I'm following Eugenie Bouchard career & she is impressive shes jumped ahead a lot in the rankings playing well as she beat Sloane & Venus. plus shes gorgeous.

I feel bad for Roger early exits in tourneys and it was to Gael who I like. Monfils vs Djokovic later

 

[Sinner]

^ Genie's got the tools, but is still too erratic at times... same goes for her good buddy, Robbo.  It's been a tough post USO for Robbo and Heather Watson, it has to be said.  Struggling mightily. 

He's got 17 slams, so don't feel too sorry for him...

Who do you guys think was the better player, Tim Henman or Marcelos Rios?

 

[Sinner]

Rios... super-talented... one of the most talented to have never won a slam, I think. 

 

[aepps20]

Rios did get to number one in the world. I've always thought that Tim was an overachiever, especially at Wimbledon. Tim's results off grass weren't that great.

Yes, agreed.

He was mainly a S&Ver and made the most out of the faster grass at the time.  He was also Britain's next hope so probably "over-upped" by their media.  

 

[aepps20]

The British press used to destroy Henman after every Wimbledon loss. SMH, Murray is fortunate he finally got one because he would get it worse if he kept taking Ls.

 

[Sinner]

Delpo. 

 

[Sinner]

Helluva final!

LMAO.

 

Also, Ana made a final!

But lost. 

 

[mfreshm]

Any pics of the girls at Istanbul I'm looking forward to watching. I like the end of the year tournament. Go Aga

Li, and Petra, looked the best while Vika looked awful in her black dress.

 

[Sinner]

 

[flashout01]

you can leave me in an island with any of Li, Petra or Vicka and im good

 

[mfreshm]

Oh my beautiful Aga

Victoria Azarenka vs Sara Errani
Serena vs Angelique Kerber
Agnieszka Radwanska vs Petra Kvitova

 

[champcruthik]

Rafa made the right decision withdrawing from the Swiss indoors.

 

[Sinner]

Fed must be so glad.  

Rafa's played too much this season already... Still got Bercy and WTF's.

 

[mfreshm]

Vika, Serena & Petra all won. Aga just lost to Petra.

Looks like Serena is going to win this tourney. Only Jelena can give Serena a good match Vika would struggle again in the 3rd set if they play.

 

[Sinner]

JJ. 

 

[aepps20]

JJ is playing some of her best tennis

 

[Sinner]

Why can't Ana do any of that? 

 

[aepps20]

Ana hasn't been the same since she lost all of her weight.
