The Tennis Thread

I thought Mac made a good point, if it’s what I heard that you’re referencing. He said got knocked out in the semis I think, went back to school and came back stronger.

She’s experienced the big occasion, and will come back stronger.

Yes, he then went on to talk about his own experience and dealing with the emotions better etc.

Sounds like Mac was right as well.

No shame in such a whirlwind week catching up with you.

Was funny to see Piers Moron wading in earlier. This from a man who flounced off his own TV show because the weatherman was a bit mean to him

"Piers Morgan" and "odious cretin" are synonyms.

Look up ‘Piers Morgan’ in the dictionary and you’ll find the following definition:

 

[mike_field]

I can't watch him, I don't even find him entertaining.

He had his tuppence worth on Tw@tter earlier and has been roundly ridiculed, as you might expect.

Not seen Fed this shaky in a long time.

 

[Pangloss]

R Fed is 40 this year and you can see his age. Done very well to get to the quarters.

So many uncharacteristic errors, particularly at the net.

Fair play to the Polish lad though, playing exceptionally well to keep he pressure on.

 

[mike_field]

A bit of that spark has gone hasn't it, and as you say JPA the unforced errors. Like Pangloss, I think it's just caught up with him now sadly. Somewhat inevitable really and was just a matter of when.

Phenomenal career though.

Hurkacz looks good though, not seen him before.

 

[Pangloss]

Hurkacz will probably crumble in the next round.

I guess this is what is supposed to happen in sport. You can see flashes of brilliance from Federer, in my eyes he's the GOAT, but he's getting simply overpowered by a much stronger opponent.

Chinese Betting Syndicate: "Hello Rog, look you won't beat Djoko. How about £1m for a loss.... throwing in a 6-0 at the end?"

 

[mike_field]

Yup, I very much doubt he expected this so he'll probably be very content now.

And agree, it just looks like his body isn't as sharp as his brain now - but that's natural lol

 

[mike_field]

Good day of tennis this, although I must say I wish Vesnina would shut the .... up.

 

[mike_field]

That Croatian duo deserved that, but it was a fabulous game.

 

[The Fear]

Wonderful match this.

 

[mike_field]

Novak has found his grove now, but Berrettini certainly hasn't crumbled.

 

[mike_field]

Novak.

Matched Fed and ahead of Nadal.

Berrettini can hold his head up high as well. Fantastic battle.

Have just put it on to get the result. Nobody singing footballs coming home. Bad show really.
