Tennis Talk 2022: Vol 8 (Lyon, Monterrey, Davis Cup)

HAMI

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wow

oh Cami

FINISH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! (don't make me post in size 30pt)

DEY TOOK OUR SOUND

Did my laptop break just now or is sound gone?

ok

it went for a bit, back now

I saw flashing during that point.

what happened there? something happened

Yeah, saw that too.

laser pen or something?

that would have ruined her concentration.

Leylah refusing to play?

not laser pens.

I think the floodlights went out momentarily.

or flashed up.

Leylah trying to use this to head**** Cami?

Desperate to have the point replayed imo.

will she get her way?

she has a point, but it's too late now. Umpire should have perhaps called a let as it happened.

no

Waiting for at least one of the lights to be switched back on now from what I heard.

yeah. heard same

this umpire and his wife not just after Konta. Now sabotaging things for Leylah as well.

Leylah doesn't get into shennanigans unless she believes she's right

did you both watch all of Svitolina v Cami? how did Svitolina manage to fail and what was the lowest matched on her?

Don't we all mostly get into shenanigans if we think we are right?

show some respect to our Colombian friend please.

Don't know lowest matched, but Svitolina led 4-1 double break in the final set, so....

yeah. so Svitolina choked it really or what? must have been like 1.03 or something

replay shows the moment the lights dipped

Linda Fruhvirtova with a qwc to Indian Wells (not hipster version).

imagine Leylah does the double when they resume in a min

Choking...yeah, probably. She should have won it from that position. Actually most likely should have won it in straight sets. Then also led 3-0 in the final set tiebreak. Osorio just rarely goes away unless someone really hits her off the court.

screwed over by technology fail and then had to wait for a long time when serving to save match point.

maybe they're trying to get it called a draw like Anett and Ann Li at Grampians Slam

Remember when we all watched Osorio Serrano for the first time in August 2019 when she cleaned up the ITF tournaments in Guayaquil?

no I watched her at Bogota ages ago

This is what she asked for. Umpire and Osorio would have played on. Leylah deems it insufficient lights from what I gathered.

NO! No-one got W points or prize money for that. It almost cost Anett her spot at the WTA finals last year.

bigger issue for the server no?

do we have a big ladder in the house?

No electricians available in Mexico on a Sunday night.

wow it's time

IT'S TIME

I think they told her they won't get it fixed any time soon and to get on with it.

Let's go Leylah!!

very dangerous to stop play like that when it's Foxxtenn.

where's edy's hipster trivia?

She might not serve at 140mph (senor edy)
and she might hit it into the tramlines a fair bit (senor caramba)
but

she's the 2 x Monterrey CHAMP!

#edytrivia

The ATP tournament in Rotterdam in 2021 let children record questions that were then forwarded to a number of players. One of the questions was "What did you want to become when you were a kid?" and one of the players was Kei Nishikori. What did the Japanese player answer?

penguin

Ok, caramba is not going to fail miserably at my trivia.

But I will get my vengeance and if it's the last thing I do!

a penguin

A samurai

will Leylah reference the battle of Alamo in her victory speech?

oh, Mexicans were the aggressors for that one. Should be referencing the Battle of San Jacinto instead.

She's going to pander like it's World Pandering Day.

We all know this.

a cynic would say the floodlights thing was some sort of sign

cool that they let them speak Spanish and don't interrupt with English translations for the 100 tennis addicts watching this outside Mexico.

which also gives us the chance to learn some Spanish

didn't fully understand Leylah's speech but seemed like just standard pandering and nothing over the top.

Great publicity for the Mexican branch of Morgan Stanley anyway

Hang on what was the answer to the trivia question

Kei Nishikori wanted to become a penguin.

Why is Qualifier Wang underdog to some player I have never heard of?

well done to the person who got the evens on Wang as I was doing my research.

Was only about 400€

yeah, I got €364 matched at an average of 1.8 Theadora and was gonna keep laying, but wanted do do some more research first to make sure I hadn't missed anything, but you beat me to it. But you do deserve some rewards for knowing the results of every ITF match ever played, so well done and good luck tomorrow. I see she took a set off Flipper last year so not a complete no-hoper based on that, but then she also lost to Mari Osaka version 2 just weeks ago.

Shared joy is the best kind of joy

I watched Rabman during an UTR event two weeks ago. I did not get the feeling she is bound to set the world of tennis on fire anytime soon.

Thanks for the tip off too.

wow missed some free monies here
