Tien calling for trainer and limping a bit

watching saba always reminds you that power is nothing without control. she has absolutely no control whatsover and so its either a piercing winner or a wild ue with nothing in between

lots of parallels between saba and serena thinking about it. similar movement or lack of it

both have so much power. serena learnt to control it a lot better than saba has

even if sabalenka wins today I can't see her winning the tournament with how she's been playing lately

He looks in big trouble though Fuc broken straight away with horror game

agree sabine

all the top women look useless to me right now. could just be a case of who can be the least bad that wins the tournament

Could do with Tien tapping but seems determined to keep playing

it's tap at 2-4 or not happening

another wild ue from saba. sp kessler

Would have tapped if Marton hadn't donated the first service game

the men dont look much better with tbf. djokovic is way past it and sinner looks way off it right now

the men dont look much better either tbf

Tien will have his inbox full from degenerate gamblers seething that he didn't quit so their bets got voided.

Sinner mugging again. If he doesn't raise his level he's not winning this tournament. But of course, players like him can.

GSM Marton

Class from Learner to fight to the end, hopefully no further damage done to himself by doing so (I assume there won't have been).

borges completely pooed his pants at the thought of winning a set

Coco always mugging.

she peaked on grass at 15 years old

BOOOOOOOOOOOM !! Mirra gone

good thing they didn't get her British citizenship. Can't throw your racquet at Wimbledon centre court like that.

BK can win another 3 Slams in the next 5 years and her start odds in the outrights will still always be 100.

Mirra still a stroppy teenager despite winning a Slam. Conchita must have the patience of a saint.

Must be being paid well, and probably enjoys the challenge. Must have to bite her tongue at times though you'd imagine

yeah I could never put up with it, but congrats to her for hanging in there.

this match will give a good idea of where djokovic is. tsitsipas is absolutely useless on grass, losing to fabbiano here a few years back proved that. if novak cant win this relatively easy its a bad sign

its not about money or the challenge caramba. its about being in the spotlight again. being a coach of a high profile player means youre relevant in the tennis world again. thats the only way you put up with some of the behaviors that mirra has been showcasing the last couple of years

meant toad not caramba. with you caramba. couldnt be putting up with all that rubbish from mirra its embarrassing and the teenager excuse is not only tosh its wearing incredibly thin. plenty of teenagers are perfectly well adjusted and to tar them all with the brush of petulance is insulting. her behaviour is nothing to do with age. its to do with entitlement and being spoilt and getting her own way all the time off the court, meaning that when she doesnt get her own way on court she acts like an entitled twerp

isn't 10% of all prize winnings? would have been 280k euros from the French

said it all as well when she won the fo and said she wanted to thank herself. she didnt win the fo because of herself she won in spite of herself, that and the draw collapsing like a deck of cheap cards

what a mug tsitsipas

routine for djoko. but tsitsipas was never likely to provide any sort of test and if he did, djokovic's chances at this tournament would have been practically non existent

Novak been class today. All out business. Reminded me of how he wanted to beat Demon so much in Aus so slapped him silly !

I really thought Tsitsipas was really going to be a top top player, looked the part, played the part, KO's fed from the Aus, reached the French final, peaked at #3 in the world, been rubbish ever since and hurtling towards 30 years old, massive under achiever and don't know why, he had more in his locker.

accumulation of scar tissue. all his achievements before the wheels started to fall off when he was feeling fresh and full of expectation. thats all long gone

hammered mirra earlier and with good reason, but theres no way players should be forced to do interviews in tears. bang out of order

Would be funny if Iga does the opposite surface switch to Sharapova.

Pliskova not what she once was, but still a good and convincing scalp on grass.

You can tell Kostyuk is fighting that little bit more because she's playing a Russian, really does not want to lose

Btw that reminds me, something which I forgot to post during the French open, I saw a clip of Svitolina and Kostyuk talking just before they came out to play their match....in Russian? anyone else see that

this is so bad from amanda

Ukrainian is very close to Russian.

woah the WTA finals will be played at Indian Wells.
Not sure how I feel about that as it might take away from the March event and last time it was held that time of the year it kinda sucked, but at least it's not China or Saudi Arabia.

I thought a lot of Russian vocab was indistinct from Ukrainian and vice versa, though just read Svitolina is a native Russian speaker and Marta Ukrainian, didn't know that.

Why don't they just play the tour finals at the 02 in London, probably all booked now but there was a gap when the tours final in ATP moved from there to Milan.

or Turin

Sorana cruising

Shnaider only fave today that's lost in WTA

O2 might be too big. Would it sell out with no Brits and no big stars like Serena or Sharapova? I would think WTA can get better offers from other cities/venues.

plenty of American players in the top 8, so it makes lots of sense to have it there if the goal is to sell tickets. Sabalenka won't be happy about playing this event at Windian Wells.

the question is if people will travel, IW is in the middle of nowhere, like they do for the March event. But maybe with good notice they will. There was also the issue that people there only live there parts of the year, which was given as a reason why so few attended the October event in 2021.

I think it'd do well in London given how international the city is and closely connected it is to Europe, are they really going to sell out in Indian Wells?

Turin/Italy is hot for tennis at the moment, but they need to be careful and not saturate the market,

I think their main concern is what offer they got from the city/venue and they will care less about how many tickets it will sell.

yeah, you'd think London would do well enough, but they might not be willing to pay much given they have so many other events they can easily put in the O2 instead.

probably true, is there  no chance there could ever be a joint tour finals ATP/WTA, that would never have to worry about ticket sales

I think IW is worth a try and then they revaluate if that market can host two big events per year.

the women probably wouldn't like that as it would take the shine from their flagship event. Unless someone made a monster bid to make it a joint event. But less likely now with the Saudis cooling on tennis.

not many shocks at Wimbledon so far. We might have a 2nd week without random names.

A joint event might even lead to bigger prize money if it meant bigger broadcasting and sponsorship deal, don't know if WTA would like it or even ATP, but they should at least look at it, would be the biggest event outside of the slams.

Svitolina biggest name to drop, looks like she is going to be the best player ever not to win a slam, best of the years have gone already

Now that Zverev has won a slam, that title in the mens imo probably belongs to Monfils, or Kyrios, though with Monfils ,edy said diving into advertising boards doesn't make you a great player

Can anyone stop Sorana this year ?

I didn't notice this at the time, love to see Novak still being the Djoker.

Nobody does it better than him, it's just that being funny is not the thing most attributed to you when you are also the best tennis player of all time.

Good riddance.

Jovic quietly going about her business enroute to Wimbledon glory

Mochizuki the grass goat.

Novak has to win this tie break, cannot be dropping 3 sets in the first week at his tender age if he wants to go all the way, generally not a good sign it's happening already

This white suit really doesn't suit Novak

edy must be very happy right now

What a mug Medvedev

has to be the weakest World Number 1 in decades, still in his prime but losing in straights to Stuff

I give Ostapenko a chance in this match, she moves like an oil tanker that's been docked for months but she will also make Saba move and has more power than most.
