Honestly, I didn't even look at the names lol. I think I know you a little better than that by now man
Edit: I see now, ha. I'll edit that one out.
You were saying...
Even I have to admit that I thought she was done at 3-6 3-4 in the second.

I can't tell if you guys are serious or if it has become a parody at this point.

Sharapova about to close the deal. Impressive.
Good work closing out.
Didn't actually think Maria played badly in the first set she lost (except timing those DFs that way) - Sam was relentless and none of her shanking tendencies apparent. On point, literally, and I thought back to their epic clay three setter in Stuttgart couple of years ago. These two go hard meeting on clay.
Didn't mind the final set being less dramatic this time around though.

People saying Fed should retire after he loses on his worst surface?
He's not going to win on grass or hard either.

People have been saying Fed should retire for years. He's still winning though and if he still loves the game why not keep playing? It doesn't tarnish his legacy by continuing to play. Sure his streaks end and he'll lose to lesser seeds but he's not there to break records.
Still sucks seeing him lose though.

He loves the game, why does he should retire?
edit:
Well said by Roger. He's already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in the game, if not the best. Let him play.

I know this is not the right thread for my question but it is the best one I can find right now
Can you guys/gals tell me the best tennis app for android/ios? (android would be best)

What kind of app? Live Scores? Grand Slams? Games?
yeah it just sucks to see him lose to anyone

For scores I use livescore.
For Grand Slams, they have their own apps. Just search the name.
And for games, well no good games tbh lol.

I use ATP/WTA Live. Seems to cover everything but the grand slams which have their own dedicated apps.
Is a bit basic looking and can only be displayed in portrait orientation(!) but does the job and updates on point.

It is annoying. If he'd start getting injured all the time or something along those lines, yeah, let the guy retire.
Just because he's losing some matches here and there and he's 32, he should retire.
With that logic, every single player on the ATP just should just call it quits, since he's the highest ranked 32 year old at 4 (or 5 or whataver it is now). But he's too old now and losing. Sorry Haas and Robredo, you're too old, just retire. Get off the court.

Lajovic looks pretty good so far. Good power and movement.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
still going to get bageled.
but if ferrer just manages to finish off anderson, i could see him having a chance against this nadal.

That's true, but Lajovic seems to have potential. I agree that Ferrer will have his chances against Nadal.
Well Haas should definitely retire. He's old AND stays injured.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
nadal will win the tournament after prince takes him to purify himself in the waters of lake minnetonka.

Yea, that wasn't the greatest of examples injury-wise lol. But he's still hanging in there all this time in the top 20.

You just can't beat a full cycle Nadal in this tournament. He learned to alter ot after losing to Soderling. He no longer does the super cycle to make it through Wimbledon.

Bagel incoming. Solid from Nadal, and just a bad matchup for Lajovic. Lajovic seems to like to move his opponents around with deep topspin shots, but Nadal's power and speed negates that.
EDIT: Lajovic avoids the bagel

truly a herculean effort by nadal to battle through the serbian number one in straights.
How can these players not beat Errani? Seriously her serve is a winner waiting to be made.
She's smart on clay otherwise, but yeah.. that's why I'd rather have Masha meet her than Halep, looking ahead.
John Dunbar

maybe sloane will actually start bringing it in other tournaments besides slams. you can't sampras it until you've actually won something.

Welp all the Americans are out now. Honestly they lasted longer than I expected.
Gael Monfils is the last Frenchmen remaining, and hopefully he comes through todays match then beats Murray in the quarters

When Verdasco played Cuevas they wore the exact same outfit. It was really hard to tell them apart.
