Tennis Thread - Grand Slams & The Tour

The eventual GOAT should be able to take care of MB tomorrow.

As for the women's final this may be Pliskova's last chance of major success so hopefully she can make it count.

 

I’m hoping for a Barty party. It’s nice to have a change from the identikit lady players.

 

Pliskova bottled it again. Gave Barty a 4-0 head start and gift points given away in the 3rd set.

Well done Chubbycheeks Barty.

 

Just so!
Also gives hope to the less than Amazonian girls out there.

 

Oh please let it be Skupski.
We'd never hear the end of it from Suzy Dart if Harriet won!

 

Double break Djokovic. Normal service resumed.

 

Tried to win 1st set in first gear. Needs to press the accelerator pedal.

 

Crowd very much supporting Berrettini. Think it's a offering to the football gods - Italy can have this one.

 

Andrew Castle spends so much time talking about whos in the crowd he may as well sit with them.

 

I have no idea how he gets the gig.
He's a pillock and always has been.
He'll end up in the Tower of London with injudicious comments about the D of K if he's not careful.
Vai Matteo!

 

Get in Champ!

 

Better pair won.
Krawczyk was excellent.
Salisbury was slightly off.
Only nine appearances for Suzy and the Cumberland mafia on "Dartwatch".

 

Konta and Evans out of Olympics with Covid.
I'm sorry to say my brother Laurence died during the early hours of yesterday morning.
He had declined rapidly in the last week.
I'll always remember him serving at me in the garden with his Slazenger Blue Flash racket when I was 11.
RIP.

 

Very sad to hear that news IBB. Condolences to you and your family

 

Sorry to hear that IBB.

 

Really sorry to hear the sad news IBB.

 

Thank you all.
I saw a fox cub eating the food last night so I've named him ' Cub Laurie'.
Di Minaur now out of Olympics but ND confirms he is playing.

 

Jamie Murray into the GB team.
Gauff out as she tests positive.

 

Djokovic very fortunate not to be docked a point with his antics v PCB.
Apparently has a shoulder problem which is hardly a shock given the amount he has played and the manual nature of his game.
At over 35s county cup Herts ladies cannot field a full team today v Middlesex.
Utterly pathetic given the number of players they could ask.

 

Pavic and Metkic are the best pair this year by some distance.
Middlesex lose four games to Hertfordshire in six sets!
Embarrassing Hertfordshire, embarrassing.

 

Tsitsi v the giant American whatshisname.
Medivet v the giant American Isner in Toronto.
Come on Tsitsi!

 

Giant Opelka out serves Tsitsi to win in three.
Tsitsi choked on serve and served too many doubles at crucial times.
Medivet cruises past Isner.
Pliskova beats Sabalenka in Montreal.
