Video sucks, but watching it live was UNREAL!

it was chef’s tongue?

I can't stand Joker, but I respect how insane it is for a 36 year old man to still be dominant in an individual sport that involves a lot of athleticism. Just like Rafa and Federer before him.

[shafnutz05]

I thought Shelton had a chance to overpower/out-athlete him and I was dead wrong.

[nocera]

His little mock celebration was cringe and beneath him. I can’t stand him. He’s the Aaron Rogers of tennis… except he actually wins championships.

[nocera]

I might dislike Medvedev more than Djokovic.

[Ad@m]

**** them both!

Yeah that celebration was really gross

Gauff has a really fun game and oh my goodness is it refreshing that she doesn’t do that annoying yelp thing

[nocera]

Looked bleak during the first set but Coco really pulled it together in the second. Even if she doesn’t win this one, she’ll be in plenty of finals in the future.

[shafnutz05]

This match is insane.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Sabalenka is starting to make bad errors

[nocera]

Some gamesmanship from Sabs here I think. Trying to slow things down.

I remember watching Coco’s debut at Wimbledon, beating Venus at 15 years old. Following her career as she’s been slowly putting it all together has been a lot of fun. And she’s still a teenager. Crazy.

[nocera]

Love to see it.

[count2infinity]

Good to see her get one. Hopefully this is just the start of a Serena like run.

[shafnutz05]

It's really hard not to like her. Love how grounded, grateful, and hungry she is.

[obhave]

I find the women's game to be so much more fun to watch. Some of that might be because the top people on the men's side are just really annoying people. But also games won by lots of aces is just boring to watch and that seems to happen more in the men's game.

Gauff vying for her grand slam tv was must watch tv


Djokavic vs a Russian is must avoid tv

[nocera]

Wow.

[nocera]

This is great news. Cincinnati is an awesome tournament to attend. It's close-ish to Pittsburgh, all the stars are there, and the access is unreal. It seemed unlikely that it was going to stay in Mason but apparently they're dumping $200m into improvements to the grounds and it'll change to a 2 week tournament in 2025.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Djokavic has lost 11 times in the semis of grand slams and 12 times in the finals. Not a single one of those losses were in the Australian Open. He’s 10-0 lifetime in both the semis and finals. That’s crazy

[Ad@m]

Djokovic loses first two sets to Sinner 6-1 6-2

[nocera]

I still fully expect him to find a way to win. That dadhole.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

5-5 in the third. If Djoker can hold him off and win the set then I think he comes back and wins

[Ad@m]

What a match for Medvedev. Down 2 sets and win it in 5. A 4:18 match.
