Should have made Thiem win if this is the stunt he was going to pull

Rooting for Osaka in the Finals. If Keys had made it, I would have rooted for Serena.


I think Serena usually has more trouble with great movers and players that can keep balls in play. See Kerber, Clijsters, da Vinci, Ivanovic, Henin.

Sure, some power players have beaten her too (Pliskova, Stosur, Muguruza). But I think a better strategy is to get balls in play and make her run, and let her commit errors.

I'm not sure if Osaka can do this well enough. We will see.

I liked the Keys vs. Osaka match. It was a fun matchup.
Don’t forget Hingis.

Oh wait, another one quits a pro match!! This is why guys like Novak or Rafa should not be hailed as the greatest!! That distinction should always be given to Fed who has NOT ONCE retired from a professional match EVER!!

To bad to see anyone retire in a grand slam semi final. Good for Del Potro to get to the final though.

Osaka's just cleaning her clock so far. Serena just can't move anymore.

This umpire is getting way too involved. They're not here to see him playing

Game misconduct? Are you serious

If you know anything about tennis, what the umpire just did is beyond ridiculous.

This is the equivalent of a team getting a free td in a superbowl because someone on a team made a comment to the ref.
