Overall I think things went reasonably well for the first week of this type of thread so let's continue with the concept. The plan is for this to be a weekly thread with just tennis talk: match talk, current events in tennis etc. Spamming (including muggy politics talk) and other sports talk can be done elsewhere such as the usual megathreads, current one is called Spam/OT thread. Good luck and be aware of tanks and retirements, as it's the week before a Slam.

Peter Polansky is quite obviously of polish heritage and hence him losing makes me sad.

Mertens seems to be doing quite well in tournament finals /=handling the occasion/ and played well throughout the week.

courtesy of the ever fantastic and witty smb360 who created that meme to make fun of a spelling mistake of a foreigner who shall not be named. To honour the greatest forumite to ever have registered, that foreigner still keeps the spirit alive by continuing to spell it "distrout" even though of course he knows better.

In all seriousness: I think she's been playing somewhat ok the last few weeks. Was good against Hsieh in Dubai until she imploded spectacularly, was arguably the better player against Lucic too but just not good on the big points. Against Kovinic...well....that's a horrible loss.
