OT: The Tennis thread

[Dacks]

Just saw Raonic's draw... not good, even if he was healthy. Would have to potentially beat Nadal and Djokovic just to make it to the semis. Cilic and Federer both have nice brackets, and I'm looking forward to Wawrinka / Murray if they both make it that far.

It looks like Bouchard has lost her confidence big time. The U.S. Open looks like the Serena invitational. We'll see.

She's into Round 3 which is an improvement, see how much further she advances. Raonic is hurt big time, think he's going to be eliminated soon.

Genie advances to the 4th round with a tough 3 set win while Milos is eliminated by Lopez. Tough year for Milos with the foot surgery earlier and now a wonky back, the guy needs to take some time off to get healthy.

Nadal when leading 2 sets to none at a major... Now 151-1

I always knew he was a choker at heart. Just took 152 matches for him to reveal his true colours.

lol - Couldn't believe some of the shots Fognini was hitting last night. If he played that way all the time, he'd be a top 10 player on tour.

Never mess with an italian that has a silent g in his surname

What a surprise, Fognini after playing the match of his life against Nadal flames out in straight sets to Lopez.

man, gotta feel bad for Genie.
finally gets a few games together, and then slips in the shower and concusses herself.
withdraws from singles, doubles and mixed doubles

 

[tducey]

To bad for Genie for sure. Hopefully she'll take some time off, re-focus and come back stronger in 2016.

Nice of Serena to gift her sister a set last night before stomping on her throat.

Not only the greatest tennis player of all time, but a class act.

We are one service hold away from an all-Italian final on the women's side at the US Open...

Vinci with a service hold at love - Sorry Serena, no calendar slam for you.

Vinci played a superb match, even if Genie didn't fall hitting her head and suffering a concussion, it would be tough to imagine her defeating Vinci the way Vinci has been playing.

The degenerate gambler in me wishes I would have wagered on an all Italian final but I was too focused on NFL starting last night to even consider this outcome.

Headlines in Italy should be Vini Vidi Vinci

Tirico said that it was 300-1 on Vinci defeating Serena today.

Tom Rinaldi: When you woke up, what made you believe you could beat Serena?

Vinci: No.
