It varies, really. See if you can get a loaner from a local shop first and see which one is best for you.

Very impressive. Kerber is a tough match for an opener.
John Dunbar

They're no heyday Nadal draws, in fairness.
Pretty solid match overall for him

Serena still not looking like her normal self, but it was enough to get by Pironkova today. I think the weight of trying to become a calendar slam champion is getting to her.
He looks off because Paire's game is completely unpredictable. If only Paire was handling deep returns a bit better...
Maybe, it kind of seemed like the humidity was getting to him though.
edit: lol that was an awesome point
That's Paire for you, if only he had a consistent forehand and better attitude, he'd be up there in top 20 easily.

Paire has the biggest backhand to forehand disparity of any player I can remember watching, it can get surreal at times.

Even more than Jack Sock? This I gotta see.

Yeah, for sure. Paire is comfortably trading backhands with Djokovic and coming ahead often if he can keep the ball rallying solely on the backhand; Djokovic himself as an absolutely cracking backhand so that's no mean feat. Meanwhile Sock's forehand has a ton of power but can you see Sock staying in forehand to forehand rallies with, say, Del Potro for particularly long? I can't. I'd go so far as to say Paire has a top ten tour backhand. He just doesn't have mentality, a forehand, a second serve, or good lateral movement.

Azarenka and Woz are having some incredible rallies, but they have ended on a missed forehand/overhead at the net way too often.

Murray is doing 2010 Cincy against Bennetau levels of pushing right now against Fish.

Tired of these chumps breaking themselves against Rafa. In 2015.

Probably fatigue concerns. She has been playing a ton of tennis lately, and she has her sites on the US-Open. Smart move to rest her imo
I'm seeing a right arm or wrist injury, but you're probably right. Probably felt something and didn't want to aggravate it.

Yep, and players do that all the time. sacrifice one tournament to make sure you're 100% for the next.
I think so yes...she lost to Svitolina late last night but it was a very close match...she has never beaten her...I hope she gets to R16 at least at the USO...
Bencic retired from her match against Safarova...I guess even at 18,too much is not good for you,she should rest for the USO,she might cause a lot of damage there.

Wow, didn't expect this from Goffin. He's like a worse Ferrer, the absolute definition of "no real weapons".

Honestly, the tennis year needs rescheduling so badly. Back to back Masters always end up with the second one being a bit of a crapfest.

Woah. This level of play is abysmal.

One of the greatest chokes you'll ever see from a top 20 player.

This choke is going to set Goffin's career back at least two years. Absolutely pathetic. Djokovic was limping around like a wounded gazelle on the Discovery Channel, but Goffin's still waiting for mama lion to finish the job for him. Fuck off.

Haha I can always count on you for an analogy. This one was a 9/10

I haven't seen many wildlife documentaries where the wounded gazelle suddenly springs to life to kill, shred, and devour the baby lion.
I left at 3-0,figured Goffin would win easily lol,then I look at the Tennis score site and see Djoko won...jesus.

Toronto's award ceremony. The host said she was now a contender for winning the extra 1 million dollars for being the best in the us open series. She thought she had won an extra million for being the champ. Lol pretty funny/cute reaction
He wasn't lucky, he played brilliantly before imploding, some incredible down the line shots. If anything, it was Djokovic who was lucky that Goffin completely lost the plot.

Cilic having a slam and Tsonga not is one of the greatest tragedies of modern tennis.
I still think Tsonga has the best peak outside the big four, Stan was just lucky enough to hit his when the big four were weaker.

On the womens side, I do hope Woz gets a title before she hangs it up. I would hate for her to be in the statistical category of "former #1's to never win a slam". She deserves better than to share that statistic with Dinara Safina.
