OT: The Tennis thread

what does the pic refer to?

I played there a couple of times over the holidays, the ice is pretty shit.
more specifically, the boards are brutal. You can get a stick or a leg caught in the gaps pretty easily.

and you need to trot down the hallway into the main washroom (old fashioned urinal troughs) to take a shower)

Team fouls on the scoreboard is actually shots on goal … so 7 goals on 10 shots for the opposing team … ugghhhh that was painful to watch lol

I'm assuming you all call your goalie Jonathan Quick from now on.


also, Agridome was the building EA Sports wired up when i did the sound effects for NHL96.
that was fun. Hitting the post on command is not easy, though.

And he won that semi-final - Faces Rublev in the final on Sunday.

Rublev wins 7-5 7-6. Oh well, another fine week for Felix, you're not going to win every week

I hope so as well. There are some big tourneys coming up including Indian Wells and Miami, personally I don't think Zverev should be able to participate at either of them.

He genuinely seems to be a very good dude in addition to being a very good tennis player.

Didn't see this posted, but it deserves a shout-out as two Canadian ladies (Rebecca Marino and Leylah Fernandez) won tourneys this past weekend. Rebecca won an ITF tourney in Arcadia, California while Leylah successfully defended her WTA title in Monterrey, Mexico.
