Fognini! http://youtu.be/N22RaHVDRKI

 

[Canadian Psycho]

He is peaking too early on his cycle. Its what has happened at Wimbledon the past two years, he gets off it after RG and long clay season and tries to restart a mini one before Wimbledon but it hasnt worked.

Aren't you aware of his debilitating/career threatening knee injuries? LOL

 

[LuuKyK]

lol Ferrer

Spoiler

Edit: Actually Ryan is playing some GOAT points at the moment.

lol Ivanovic

Fognini! http://youtu.be/N22RaHVDRKI

Typical Fog. He sure knows how to be an asshole. A shame because he is very talented.

Damn, Harrison hit a 152mph (245kmph) serve.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damn, Harrison hit a 152mph (245kmph) serve.

Damn, I wonder if he's the shortest player to hit that big. Dude's only 6'0" ( Short for a modern tennis player )

 

[Niraj]

Damn, Harrison hit a 152mph (245kmph) serve.

Damn, that's sick

 

[Nemo]

Great win for Nadal

When'd he start using that finger wag as well when he wins?

 

[zero_suit]

Damn, Harrison hit a 152mph (245kmph) serve.

What's the record?

 

[Niraj]

What's the record?

Is it still Karlovic at 156?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Is it still Karlovic at 156?

I remember some guy on the challenger circuit broke the record last year but i'm not sure if it counted since it wasn't an ATP event. I believe Raonic has the record right now.

So I guess it's whether you count challengers or not

Dang they already added Ryan Harrison's serve from today on the list. He's #7 all time

 

[LuuKyK]

So good to see Maria playing again after that Wimbledon loss.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Really pathetic display from Sloane. ...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yeah I'de rather watch the Raonic v. Jack Sock match over this shit. Sloane is an unforced error machine.

 

[ghstwrld]

I don't see much difference in Martha's game tbh.

 

[zero_suit]

I don't see much difference in Martha's game tbh.

Were you really expecting to?

 

[LuuKyK]

I dont even... Maria making more errors than Mugloane. Time to summon Connors for help. :lol

 

[ghstwrld]

She seems worse, actually. D:

 

[LuuKyK]

She seems worse, actually. D:

Indeed. I understand being rusty after a month and half but still. Go practice more...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Sharapova is rusty as hell. She's not ready for the US Open. There's one more tournament before the USO, and I think Sharapova should play it but she probably won't

 

[LuuKyK]

Sharapova is rusty as hell. She's not ready for the US Open. There's one more tournament before the USO, and I think Sharapova should play it but she probably won't

Yeah, she needs MUCH more practice. Hell, go play challengers lol, I watch a lot of her matches and I have never seen she play this badly.

Edit: Fucking 62 UE's. Wtf.

Tennis at its finest.

Fed won 6-3 7-6

 

[Deadman]

Fed won 6-3 7-6

And he went back to using his old racquet

 

[szaromir]

And he went back to using his old racquet

Probably those 4 easy volleys he missed in one service game in the second set against Brands convinced him it would take too long to re-adjust, time he doesn't have much anymore.

He was not too convincing against Kohlschreiber, barely squeezing through the second set tiebreak (both made many errors in it).

 

[szaromir]

MEGATON! They're going to build roof over Arthur Ashe.

 

[Niraj]

MEGATON! They're going to build roof over Arthur Ashe.

 

[perfectchaos007]

MEGATON! They're going to build roof over Arthur Ashe.

I hope it's retractable.

 

[szaromir]

It is, permanent roof would mean USO would need to be an indoors event

 

[LuuKyK]

lol Serena pulling a Sharapova with all these UEs. NID that she will still win though.

We'll see. Eugenie is serving for the first set.

edit: Eugenie won the first set! Serena in panic mode

I meant the game, not the set.

Nope.

 

[Niraj]

Wish chump Gasquet didn't lose. I wanted to see him play once

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Cant believe Bartoli just retired from the game.

 

[perfectchaos007]

BREAKING: Wimbledon champion Marion Bartolli just announced her retirement from tennis effective immediately. She just won Wimbledon last month and the US Open is in 2 weeks. Very strangely timed. My guess is she's pregnant, or perhaps she's juicing and is afraid she's about to get caught? She's 29 years old.

edit: beaten by seconds

 

[Niraj]

Wtf? Seriously? That's suspect as hell...

 

[zero_suit]

The fuck??

 

[Kifimbo]

My guess is she's pregnant, or perhaps she's juicing and is afraid she's about to get caught? She's 29 years old.

If she is pregnant, there is no reason not to play the U.S. Open snince she just play Cincinnati. Unless she's also hurt.

 

[Coldnoodle]

BAHAHAHA!

The ultimate silent ban.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Actually she probably isn't pregnant. I remember some girl telling me that female pro athletes don't get their periods.

 

[Kifimbo]

Some quotes:

"I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play…. it's just body wise I just can't do it anymore."

"Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here."

Just take a break until next year then ?

 

[LuuKyK]

What.the.fuck?

Noooooo Bartoli!!!! Profund sadness at the moment!

Well not really, but I liked her with all her weird manners. (((((( Maybe she just waited to fulfill the dream to win a grand slam and was done? Whatever.

May you have a good life outside of tennis Cake!

 

[Pedrito]

The hell?

Did she just learn that she failed a doping test? She's a weird girl but it's way too sudden.

She is one woman I could see getting really fat in a few years being away from the game. lol

 

[scarlet]

What the what.
Somehow it reminds me of justine and her 1st retirement

 

[MIMIC]

LMAO WTF. How random.

The U.S. Open is coming up you dummy

 

[szaromir]

BAHAHAHA!

The ultimate silent ban.

That's what it feels like. She wins Wimbledon without dropping a set and less than two months later her body can't take a single set of tennis anymore as she claims? Yeah right.

 

[Diprosalic]

lol many swiss roger "fans" are now like "well she retired on top, unlike you federer, you missed that".



fucking glory hunters.
