I freaking love tiebreakers especially in the 4th set.

So much freaking pressure on the player down 2 sets to 1

 

[bksballer89]

Garcia Lope win both points on Stan serve.

Now the set is back on his racket

 

[bksballer89]

Neither player can no longer win a point on their serve in this tiebreak.

Good shit man

 

[bksballer89]

Stan wins 10-8 in the breaker.

Garcia Lope absolutely choked away that set.

Up 5-0 & 6-2 in the tiebreak and also 8-7 with the set on his racket...failed to seal the deal both times

Man I'm so proud of Venus

 

[bksballer89]

That men's draw is absolutely loaded with intriguing matchups. Kei is playing with such a different swag & level of confidence since making the US open finals.

Early predictions for me on the men's side is Novak in 4, kei in 5, nadal in 4, & Murray in 4

really happy for venus

obviously did not expect that at all

she's kind of fast. that's it.

and a bunch of ESPN "experts" keep picking here every year. just silly.

not a fan of screamapova, but i think she's moving well enough to win this tournament.

i haven't seen her move this well and hit balls on the stretch like this since she last won the aussie open, actually.

Whats wrong with Eugenie's serve? Or does she not have one? Anyways, she is tons hotter than Sharapova. Praying for Sharapova to lose.

 

[Hs0022]

Can someone tell Bouchard not to hit short?? Sheesh!! that is one of the things we learn on the practice courts!

 

[Hs0022]

all the sharapova heat turns cold when she faces Serena. no guts.

 

[backupboo]

sharapova is putting a beating on Genie

I expected it. Maria is a much better player. No competition. cake Walk into the finals.

The top half much tougher than the bottom.

 

[Hs0022]

its all rigged anyway. sharapova has the cake

 

[cezero]

all the sharapova heat turns cold when she faces Serena. no guts.

agreed

but serena is playing relatively poorly for her, and masha is playing the best she has since her absolutely dominant AO win 2008.

seriously, she's getting to balls on the dead run and putting something on them for winners. she hasn't been able to do that for years.

 

[bksballer89]

Sharapova moaning is out of control

 

[bksballer89]

Hoping Berdych puts up a fight.

These Women's matches been hit or miss.

It has been very rare to see a competitive straight set win.

 

[cezero]

hey hs, look!

rafa's down a break in the 1st

 

[Hs0022]

Half interested as I dislike both!
