Tennis Talk 2024: Vol 24 (Olympics, Washington)

Should do that for flag comp 1 already.

I'm being serious. It was a clear oversight that should be corrected in-running.

Boooooooo!

she has the will and the skill!

now Iga has gone, there's nothing stopping Anna Karolina from becoming Olympic Champion!

nearly there #TeamMirra&Diana

Novak being classic.

Claylor about to end Murray's career

the last dance is finally here

caramba shield edy's eyes!

a 6-2 6-2 beatdown at the hands of Claylor and Partyman. what a way to go out

the painful ending. soon it will be Rafa next. the end of an era

Don't say this and not mention Novak Djokovic. He won't have it!

Novak seems to want to play for another 4 years or something

Everyone crying in the BBC studio.

will Sini and Machac reunite after clinching Olympic gold?

It has been announced that the centre court of Queen's will be renamed Andy Murray Arena. There is no way back now for Murray. You cannot come back after a court got named after you.

Mayday for Thanasi backers

Physio now too

1.5 into 1.3, out to 1.4 when carrying on, 1.1 when losing first point on serve

2.3 out to 3.3 TK after SK holds

Not sure who was lumpings tens of thousands on TK 2.x when he was cramping badly

Taps !

Samsona says TK isn't the only one that taps !

1.3 Sheton mid 1st set, 1.5 when taking it

I saw he was getting his foot taken care of. Did he have a fall or just wear and tear/retaping?

Wear and tear I think. The TK market was literally insane, this seems a bit out of kilter seeing as Ben's movement is fine and Brandon has yet to come back from a set behind all season I believe

Thanks.

1.6x Shelton layers after BN held opening service game 2nd set got burnt, not as much as 2.4 TK backers when he was cramping bad !

Yeah, I took some arbs on those Shelton prices.

I can't believe there hasn't been a single 'shine bright' on this thread

I was saving it if she does the business tomorrow !

Can't believe how crazy the US markets were this week, strange lumper !

Siniakova/Machac were an item for years and barely won a match in mixed when they played together. Then they supposedly split as a couple and can't lose anymore in mixed doubles.

Ok, they had only ever played mixed twice before the olympics, but they went winless in those.

They have payed out on Coboli though it's 5-5 in the decider

No kiss as far as I saw, just a long hug. Reports about Siniakova and Machac having split are probably true.

Though what a choking losser Zhizhen Zhang is.

Serves for the gold medal with an 8**-7 lead. On the first point needs a second serve, then nets the first volley. On the second point he commits a double fault to give Siniakova/Machac a 9*-8 gold medal point.

Emma DF MP down too !

that was super exciting, eh edy? I think they might be back together, they seemed very friendly and plenty of hugging? but the lack of kiss could be telling

I came here to post that Katka might just be the greatest. they did kiss edy, you're blind!!

Oh, replay had a brief smooch on the mouth!

When the kiss happened live, the cameras were on the Chinese players.

I've decided, Katka is the greatest!!!!!!

who's Katka gonna win US Open with? should team up with Jess to do the US partner triple. I suspect it will be TayTown though

It was one hell of a hug, lots of love there for sure !

just get married already!!!!!

is this real???

Denis the menace 1.05 busto set 1 !

Toad any idea roughly the lowest Emma traded in defeat to Paula earlier? thanks in advance

1.2 I believe !

Great to see you wisey. Any thoughts on Carlos vs Novak final ?

not followed much of the men's singles, but initial gut instinct is a Carlos victory

Can you believe Donna will be going for gold in 14 hours !

I say going for going for GOLD !!!

With the rain delay we have to listen to Marian in the comms again during the Emma replay

DEFAULT Shapo !!!

Imagine Deliciano joining Marion in the box ! Comms double team !

I wasn't on this match. Was Mr Lumpy on this one? It could have been very rewarding or costly for me.

WOAH! Danielle Collins in bangs.

Iga with an insincere group photo at the end of the ceremony.

I like your blonde bangs.

My knickers are private property.

What are bangs ??

It's the part of a woman's hairstyle that covers her forehead. To stick with Collins as an example

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/31/sport/danielle-collins-miami-open-win-spt-intl/index.html

Collins without bangs in that picture. The hair is kept off of her forehead. Contrast that with Collins in SamuelMertensBertens' link or also here

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2024/07/01/danielle-collins-wimbledon-retirement-tennis-stalker

where she has some hair covering her forehead (and cut to about the length that the hair stops where the forehead ends)

Fun Fact: In German having that element as part of your hairstyle is called a "Pony" because....

https://giphy.com/gifs/parksandrec-season-3-parks-and-recreation-rec-63KDdST8acUN6XdjE7

....is it me or does that look a LOT like Collins?

Not just women's hairstyles actually. Men can have bangs as well.

....and I guess I better give this information for some context on why SamuelMertensBertens told me he likes my bangs in reply to me having had talked about insincere Iga:

Damn this Washington weather

The match between Ben Shelton & Flavio Cobolli will be moved to Harris when play resumes.

The match between Aryna Sabalenka & Marie Bouzkova will continue on Stadium when play resumes, followed by Frances Tiafoe vs Sebastian Korda.

Radar looks rough though. Be interesting to see what they do with the schedule if rain ruins play for the whole day

How nice of Aryna to tank today so she doesn't have to beat up her best friend again tomorrow.

OMG Novak!
