i'll always root for isner to win because he works so hard on and off the court. he really give it his all. really hope sock is learning about his work ethic.

but i'd rather watch just about any match than this.

2 stroke rallies for an hour in a set leading up to a few minutes of excitement in a tiebreak...multiplied times 3 or 4. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You know you're a terrible person when your own country can't stand you

Australians are very much about tennis being a gentleman's sport. They have a long lineage of great guys who were champions, from Laver to Rosewall to Rafter.

Hewitt got booed in Australia for being a dick, too. And Kyrgios is much worse. A true sociopath. He refuses to take responsibility for his losses, and Australians will never like that.

To no surprise Isner/Lopez played 2 tiebreakers in the first 2 sets which man winning a set.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Isner broke Lopez serve

 

[cezero]

Wow Isner broke Lopez serve

that's like watching a dog drive a car

 

[cezero]

Wow, Lopez looks like he's falling apart physically.

Good for BIG JOHN!!!!!!

Not great action today and I don't care for the night session schedule either

 

[cezero]

whoa, Raonic picked up Carlos Moya as his coach

that is a GREAT pickup.

Keys has the game to win a major, so I'm mildly intrigued to see if she can beat Ivanovic.

Not enough to stay up until 1 AM or anything, though. lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Nice to see Keys won

Glad for Isner, but that is probably as far as he is going. Mens tennis has been pretty good so far. Kyrios is still a disgrace. Djoker looks beatable so far. I have Monfils as a sleeper. Saw some of Tomic today too. I like his style. Still hoping Fed can get 1 more.

Saw Ivanovic and Keys this morning. Neither of them could crack 90 mph on their serves or even get it to the others backhand. Break after break. Was truly depressing. Keys at least can hit the ball well from both sides, but can be streaky. She needs to get her serve back to have any chance though. Muguruza spanked too is a surprise. Her and Keys were my sleepers, but they both are not playing great. Azarenka is however.

Sometimes I forget that Tomic is still just 22 years old. He's been around for quite a while now. I agree about Mens tennis. It never really disappoints in terms of style of play even though more competitive matches would be nice and I think we get that tonight in the Tsonga/Kei match.

As for women's tennis, I truly don't think anyone is worth watching except Serena and Azarenka

 

[bksballer89]

So the mens side 15 of the 16 remaining men left are seeded. On the women's side it is just 9.

Either Keys, Makarova, or 2 unknown players I never heard of ( Shuai Zhang or Johanna Konta) will be in the semi finals

 

[bksballer89]

Kei walking all over Tsonga.

Kei walking all over Tsonga.

Tsonga does not look right.
