Wrist injury means no Nadal at Wimbledon.

Nadal to miss Wimbledon with wrist injury

Nice win for Milos today (completion of a suspended match due to darkness) over Nick Kyrgios (6-7, 6-4, 6-4) at the AEGON Championships in London (grass tuneup for Wimbledon).

always like seeing Mios win,
and always like seeing Kyrgios lose

Milos through to the final at the AEGON Championships where he will face Andy Murray tomorrow. Good luck Milos.

Rats, Milos won the first set today in a tie-breaker and was up 3-0 in set 2, but Andy Murray rallied to win the match. Set scores were 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3. Still, some pretty good tennis from Milos today, but he should be kicking himself for not finishing the deal.

Milos opens Wimbledon with a straight sets win over Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain.

As a degenerate who may or may not bet on this sport, I cannot say I even considered donating a couple of dollars on Marcus Willis. I may or may not throw down on his next match to at least take a set off Roger, however.

Vasek eliminated in the first round, he was inside the top 30 in men's singles a couple of years ago, now he's struggling to stay inside the top 100.

I don't get it, I was told by many people that Raonic was garbage, and Vasek had the much brighter future.

Oh I think you get it

/Vasek has battled some injury issues and he with doubles partner Jack Sock have a bright future on the men's doubles scene. Obviously, Vasek is having trouble getting his singles game together. As far as Milos is concerned, I think people grossly under-estimate how much work he has put in to improve his fitness, footwork, and ground strokes over the last couple of years.

I think Vasek is a good young player, and can rebound. But unless you are a top-10 all-around talent in your generation, I think a guy like Raonic, with a limited arsenal but a few big weapons, has a better chance of stealing a major in his career.

And looking fine in that Nike babydoll

 

[tducey]

Genie's looking good, oh and her tennis game appears to be back. Round 3 tomorrow, hopefully she'll win that to get to the Round of 16.

Raonic is doing good as well.

Djokovic upset by Sam Querrey. Holy shit.

Well, that certainly opens up that part of the draw for Milos.

Tsonga just defeated Isner in 5 sets (19-17 in the 5th set)

Isner's got a thing for those ridiculous marathon sets.
And presumably will be easy pickings now for his next opponent
