Tennis Thread - Grand Slams & The Tour

Yes.
She's not had a full year on tour, it'll take her another year to grow into her body.
Garcia has been four in the world and should have been higher for longer,no disgrace to lose to her.
Emma is now a scalp and everyone is working her out.
She needs to find a coach she trusts and probably drop some of her endorsement work and concentrate on her tennis but she's a top ten player if she gets it together.

 

Done amazingly well by making the very most out of a limited game.
A South African/New Zealand version of Andy Hessentaller.

 

Another very likeable guy Johnson and good pro.

 

A man looking suspiciously like Pozzo is court side watching Baby Fritz v Andre Gray.
Disconcerting!

 

Nicked from twitter:

Sad that Andy Murray got knocked out of Wimbledon. Even sadder for his Grandad who was looking forward to another few days living in Andy's bag.

 

I'm afraid there is a little bit of Super Sunday creeping into the BBC commentary.
I didn't see the first set but you need to mix ADM up much more than Draper did.
Too one dimensional and both his parents had better feel on the volley than he did in that match.
Good for Broady but everyone needs to remember that most of the tour play so little on grass that the British players have a huge advantage over almost all.

Historically British players have had the odd win at The Championships,Sam Smith reached the fourth round for example but sustaining it, especially as there are no points on offer,is the key.

 

On reflection you were 100% correct.
Kyrgios behaved abysmally on Saturday night and should have been defaulted after three games.
Pitiful officiating from Damian D and Armstrong just stood at the side of the court.
Would not have happened in Alan Mills day.
Kyrgios has serious mental health problems and his press conference afterwards was a deluded babble of a child.
I would have been very interested in yesterday 's refereeing meeting.
Two or three of the female umpires would have done a better job. As would Mohamed Layani and Fergus Murphy, albeit he's overly fussy.

 

Tsitsipas fell right down to his level. Pair of malakkas.

 

Tsitsi should have walked off court.
Dreadful officiating and Nadal will not allow such nonsense.
Transparently obvious what Kyrgios was doing.
Tsitsipas has apologized for his actions. Kyrgios has said nothing.
Only one man to blame.
Moreover until you have played someone blatantly cheating it's hard to comment as to how they should react.
I know many players ( myself included) who have been wound up to the point of fury by such antics.

 

Exactly!
He knew he wouldn't get a response from BN so got on with it.
Trust me I could name you numerous players who engage in such tactics in tennis.
Not to the extent Kyrgios did on Saturday,which is why he should have been defaulted.
Zero balls from Armstrong and ref's office.
Most of the Kazak players are Russian or half Russian,men and women.
They began recruiting them about ten years ago for huge wads of cash.
Not much difference from Rusedski,Robson,Konta,Javer, Dowdeswell and to a lesser extent Norrie.

 

Verbal or physical or both?

 

Oaf.
Serious mental health problems.
Meanwhile the German ladies are showing more shot making and invention than almost all of the tours combined.
Refreshing.

 

NJ in touble !
One set down and 2 breaks down in the 2nd.

 

Still expect NJ to triumph in 5.

 

Just broken Sinner to lead 3-1 in the fourth

 

maybe not ?? He will presumably also be the more tired as the game progresses based on their relative exertions on Sunday ?
