stephens made a bunch of idiot errors as usual, and was never in the match with vika at all

stephens is indeed trash. she bought into her own hype, and hasn't put in the work to earn the spotlight consistently. countdown to saviano dumping her for her lazy work ethic.

Go Vika! That is the way to go. One at a time and prove all these AO organizers wrong. Wozniacki next to fall.

Easy straight forward win for Kei

 

[cezero]

it's the most out of shape i've ever seen almagro. either he's coming off an injury, or he's on the verge of calling it quits.

kei is so solid in every way. marvelous to watch.

This raonic match seems like every set will go to a tb

 

[cezero]

Townsend has obviously lost some weight, but she'd still be obese by BMI standards.

Eat less, Taylor. You'll be happier in the long run.

 

[bksballer89]

Kudla & Lopez 4 all in the 5th set

 

[cezero]

i'd rather watch the wta all day than a lopez match. unbearably boring. add kudla, and you have pure tv valium.

 

[cezero]

Bouchard has played 1 match, and already, every single other seed is gone from her quarter of the draw.

Wow.

 

[bksballer89]

Well kudla is a service game away from a huge upset

 

[bksballer89]

2 match points for kudla

 

[bksballer89]

Awful....absolutely gave away 2 match points

Here's another match point on his seece

 

[cezero]

Well kudla is a service game away from a huge upset

good for him

5 sets doesn't necessarily mean great, and i can't imagine much great tennis in that match

better than the boring isner match going on now maybe

i'm watching townsend, who i think could be a multi slam winner if she ever chooses to commit to fitness. SO much game. that lefty forehand is a fucking bullet.

 

[cezero]

thank goodness for the modern options available to those who don't want to watch the stupid choices ttc and espn oftentimes make.

somebody just win already so a better match can come on. lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Back on serve

Had 3 match points on his serve

 

[bksballer89]

Didn't start watching til late in the 4th but first 4 sets did not seem very entertaining as it went 6-3,2-6,6-4, & 2-6

 

[bksballer89]

These other 3 majors really need to follow USTA and go to the deciding set tiebreak

 

[cezero]

French Open will never do a breaker in the 5th.

Wimbledon will never do a breaker in the 5th.

The Aussie Open may someday, but I doubt it. Much better chance in Melbourne than Paris or London, though.

 

[cezero]

and yes, a 5th set breaker rule at every major would be excellent. just don't see it happening in my lifetime.

 

[bksballer89]

Raonic in another TB.

I'll be shocked if any of these sets unless it goes to a 5th set doesn't end in a TB

 

[bksballer89]

Lopez is finally about to end Kudla

And it is over.

Kudla will kick himself for sometime after not sealing the deal when he had 3 match points on his serve
