OT: The Tennis thread

I think if he doesn't, it all gets turned around and Stan comes out as the bad guy for not being able to deal with some trash talking. Stan is the man while Kyrgios is a clown.

sure initially if Stan waves the douche off and does no handshake post match the fans in attendance (who didnt hear the audio) probably do the ole booing number but I dont think anyone sees what happened as mere trash talking

The lines are definitely blurry, that's for sure and guys continue to push the envelope. I don't see it going away anytime soon either.

Pfft. Stan shoulda just told him that she was sloppy seconds. That's the BRO way to handle it, amirite Sean Avery??

Aussie tennis greats like Rod Laver, John Newcombe, and Ken Rosewall have to be shaking their hands at the antics of clowns like Tomic and Kyrgios.

so when exactly did Stan find out what was said to him on court? was it the "trash talk" that caused him to retire from the match?

I thought he was having some back issues last night.

Looks like Kyrgios' mum deleted (deactivated) her twitter account after defending her son and facing some backlash.

10 grand fine for Kyrgios - Man, does that mean I'm rooting for John Isner tonight?

Isner um bangs Kyrgios out of the tourney in straight sets.

Rev up the match-fixing machine - Kyrgios could have faced Kokkinakis in the next round in Cincy, instead he gets destroyed and looks barely interested in playing losing 6-2, 6-1 to Gasquet.

as i said before in this thread, pospisil has a much more complete game than raonic. outside of his serve, raonic's only top 50 stroke is the forehand. he's about as fast as he'll ever get, but as a giant, movement will always be an issue.

the good news is that giants sometimes don't hit their peaks until their late 20s.

anyway, pospisil is fun to watch.

bouchard's tactic of taking the ball extremely early troubled the top 20 for awhile, but they're onto her now. she's a poor mover and server, and has no big weapon off the ground. it's still good enough to make the top 15-20 because it's the wta we're talking about.

Has Genie hit rock bottom (6-1, 6-0 loss earlier today). Oh well, the big news in women's tennis today is Serena cheating on her coach with Drake.
