https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/29/sports/tennis/foot-faults-and-the-rage-they-can-cause.html#:~:text=Stefan%20Edberg%20was%20known%20for,more%20players%20served%20and%20volleyed.
The serve-and-volley types, a number of professionals that seems to shrink each season, are more prone to foot faults than baseliners. Stefan Edberg was known for foot faults, for dragging his feet forward as he rushed the net. In years past, pros said the number of such calls seemed higher at Wimbledon, in large part because more players served and volleyed.

Whitney is finally happening

Nevermind.

So mind.

let's go Daria Saville!!

if Whitney wins US Open will you be super proud, edy?

very yesly

edy why doesn't Carina dogears make a comeback? why was she at USO qualies?

Probably there to combine a nice trip to the tennis with supporting her Hamburg girl Eva Lys.

oh ok. where's Sabine by the way? why didn't she try USO qualies?

She got ill a few weeks ago.

how are you edy? are you looking forward to the US Open?

also any idea why they posted 40+ new posts today in the Novak Djokovic US Open thread? cba reading all those long posts

yes, there was Novak vaccine talk which I usually ignore but today I couldn't.

Novak not playing because not vaccinated and foreign/non-US. anything else?

Novak today officially withdrew.

Goody....you? Yes, I am looking forward to the US Open, though I will have to see how much time I will be able to dedicate to it.

no. about asterisk slams. There was no denying how good Novak is.

oh so it's saying that whoever wins US Open 2022 men's didn't win a real slam? it's Novak's decision so it's his own fault if he misses it

yes

JM & Mes

it's Novak's decision so it's his own fault if he misses it
vs Wesdaq and me.

thanks. I'm on team you and Wes

Bogdan lost btw so unless I missed something your late entry didn't matter.
Apart from having to rush through your choices.

wonder if we'll get a Daria v Daria Granby final..

saw she lost. hows everyone doing? was just about to look through my picks properly to see exactly who I've got left

I haven't looked. Will once it's all done. Feels like I'm not doing too badly.

only got 4 left

my picks were weally, weally bad

told you it's nearly impossible to get 8.

it's a really silly rule WTA have where top ten players can only play 2 250's per year.
Vulturing a 250 could have done wonders for Anett's confidence. And I would say Garbine too, but I don't think she can even vulture 250's at the moment.

no such limits in ATP.

Yeah, A Levels.

is this your favorite gimmick?

yeah

Do you like it too?

it's not your worst (you toned things down with arrong not around), but no not really.

edy must have lots of silly gimmicks on Twitter

maybe in the chatroom which I left after a few hours because of all the gifs.

I tried complaining to nando's today about the requirement to bet if I don't want to get logged out every half hour, but at least when I tried they only had a a really ignorant chat bot instead of real chat staff.

Sent a message then.

It's a never ending battle. At best you'll get 10 euros in bet credits out of it.

has Bernarda gone to the next level?

yes, but it still remains to be seen how high that level is.

stop it, Carlos

I wonder if Iga will ever let him take her on a date

persistence worked for Agassi with Graf, but no I don't see it.

Lys GOATing!!!!!!

wonder if Carina is there again

Is old, so maybe he stopped in the meantime.

oh it is.
yeah, let's hope so.

McHale retired from the sport following her qualies loss.

say it isn't so!

Sounds like John Isner won't be playing for much longer either.

he's 37. I could sense this was near for him tbh

let's go Anett!

Marta withdrew. Daria Saville makes the final

She can get her revenge over other Daria for this:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BMLWxFPg33e/

wonder where was they when Daria jumped in

Daria v Daria. which Daria wins?????

Hey SaMeBe, flag Thomas Gadecki.

Speaking of flags. Unlucky Edy with Marta pulling out of the semi final.
You were robbed (maybe).

Daria v Daria.... who wins?!

is he an anti-vaxxer too?

classic hugs
https://twitter.com/TheBoiledEgg/status/1563466464493195264

why are they both patting her ass?

Czech culture I'm being told. Wish Mouse Trap was here so he could confirm. One is apparently her dad.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FbLlLztVEAAs7D7?format=jpg&name=900x900
woah, anti-vaxxer Annabel gave in at some point.

Or she read the tweet from fellow English journalist Eleanor Crooks that her vaccine status hadn't been checked and fancied her chances.

which Daria you got, edy?

The Russian one.

blondie or brunette?

woah, Iga is such a goof.
https://twitter.com/funnyzeitgist/status/1563435795981017095

I wonder if that first serve ace that was overruled by Chinese Elizabeth was actually in our out

in or* out

sorry, Chinese Jennifer*

Iga and Carlos would probably make a good couple. both lacking maturity

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate German nando's having an unchangeable 30 minute automatic logout.

The international mother side has an adjustable time. Why the coitus do you not do that for the German side?

mother site

battle of the Daria's is pretty painful

I hope Daria S will be ok to play US Open next week

US Open starts on Monday! time flies!

the 2 Darias are adorable

great speech by Daria S

Daria K is like the little sister of Daria S. makes for a kinda strange vibe when Daria K is the winner

but Daria K pulled her speech together well by the end

WTA Granby super profitable tournament

#flagwatch

Erika so in the zone she didn't realise she's qualified for her first ever senior slam main event.
Highlight video, jump to 1:37 to see her win.. and go get a towel completely oblivious

You got yourself a good flag there.

Learned this from greats such as Svetlana Kuznetsova.
