Yeah when I wrote that she was about to serve for the match. Did not see that course of events happening.

I know, just making conversation I didn't expect it either. Walked away when she was serving for the match to do dishes, and came back to see her down big time in the tiebreak.

edit: seems like she's back on track.

Woot go Seppi, just won a 4 setter over Gabashvili (I <3 Seppi)

Ouch, Bryan Bros lost to Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey in the first round. I think this is their first year without a slam in like a decade.

I think anytime you lose to Querrey in anything you have to reflect on that. He has the competitive spirit of a bowl of ice cream.

I think they said wanted to at least play until Rio, but who knows. Maybe they'll play until they drop in the rankings or something.

No shit lol

Anyone read Mardy Fish's piece in the Players' Tribune?

The Weight:

I want to be a success story, in my own way. And I think that retiring on my own terms, in the tournament I love the most, is part of my being able to do that.

Talking about it &#8212; and keeping the conversation going, and going, and going &#8212; is also part of that. Mental health is not a very easy thing to talk about in sports. It&#8217;s not perceived as very masculine. We&#8217;re so trained to be &#8220;mentally tough,&#8221; in sports. To show weakness, we&#8217;re told, in so many words, is to deserve shame.

But I am here to show weakness. And I am not ashamed.

In fact I&#8217;m writing this, in a lot of ways, for the express purpose of showing weakness. I&#8217;m writing this to tell people that weakness is okay. I&#8217;m here to tell people that it&#8217;s normal.

And that strength, ultimately, comes in all sorts of forms.

Addressing your mental health is strength. Talking about your mental health is strength. Seeking information, and help, and treatment, is strength.

And before the biggest match of your career, prioritizing your mental health enough to say, You don&#8217;t have to play. You don&#8217;t have to play. Don&#8217;t play &#8230;

That, too, is strength.

No doubt that guy was going to get broken here :/

Anyone read Mardy Fish's piece in the Players' Tribune?

Definitely will check it out.

Edit: good article. Really hope for the best for him.

Yeah, read it yesterday (my time)

 

[Niraj]

lol that was priceless just now

Edit: Well this one should be over quickly.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I feel bad for Mardy if just that hint of anxiety ended his career.

Grigor "Dark Horse" Dimitrov out. The collapse of Novak's draw continues.

 

[Faith]

I always forget that there are GS threads

Can't wait to see Djokovic vs. Nadal.

What is there to see?

Nadal is playing terribly the entire year . What weapon does he have to hurt Djokovi&#263;?

Ofc I would like to see that match, but favourite is pretty clear.

I'm not so sure about Nadal vs Fognini...

PSA: The Eurosport Player App FINALLY supports Chromecast. Goodbye Microsoft Silverlight.

If Nadal wins at least one more round, he'll be fifth in the race.

fifth in what race, points?

 

[Diprosalic]

fifth in what race, points?

Race to London
http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/rankings/singles-race-to-london

it's like the normal rankings but just counts points earned in a calendar year. he will have the fifth most points in 2015.


Bencic apologised for her behaviour on Twitter, it's a start:

Race to London. Basically means ranking points earnt since the start of the calendar year, rather than the points earnt in a full year to date (i.e. a player's current ranking). Basically means Nadal (assuming he beats Fognini...) has been the 5th best player of 2015 so far; which I think is significant given how much people have written him off. He's on the way back up.

 

[Diprosalic]

more like others are on their way down and he has no points to defend in the fall.
he had a decent enough beginning of the year and grinded a couple of 250s. he hasn't beaten a single quality player this year.

Queen Konta is up a set against Mugurutha

Queen Konta is up a set against Mugurutha

That's the same Konta I saw in a Challenger Cup last month in Granby,Qc...damn,good for her...

And Ostapenko is giving Errani a run for her money.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tough tiebreak loss for Chung. The crowd seems to like him at least

 

[Diamond]

I like him too. Nice playstyle and look.

 

[Ricker]

Konta has the weirdest pre service delivery stance ever lol,but she has a great serve...she is leading Mugu 4 game to none right now in the third.(3 hour match so far)

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Chung's forehand motion is so odd. Future Gulbis?

Okay, future consistent Gulbis.

Konta upsets Muguruza in the longest USO match since they introduced the Tiebreaker,3 hours 20 some minutes.

Did that include the 10 minute "head advisory" break?

 

[Kotetsu534]

That was a bruising match between two big strikers who didn't give an inch. Several games went to Deuce 3, one went over 12 minutes (and another 8 minutes). In the end I think it was Konta's returning and defence that let her edge it, bringing just enough errors out of Muguruza. There will be plenty of players who make round three who'd have been blasted off the court by either of them today.

 

[Ricker]

Ah good question,do they usually count those breaks,not sure but the commentator made it sound official.

 

[Omzz]

Another tiebreak it is

 

[sam777]

Murray already a break down. I still expect him to win easily enough though.

 

[Diamond]

Wow Jack Sock is currently treated on court, he literally collapsed, maybe a big sunstroke, overheat or something. Looks like he was cramping hard. He retired from the match.

Just saw the scores and wanted to ask what happened.

 

[sam777]

Sock couldn't walk the heat must have got to unbearable for him.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Went off in a wheelchair, that's dreadful.

EDIT: ESPN saying he's getting urgent medical attention having gone into shock.

 

[Omzz]

Cramps? Those are so messed up cause your body just shuts down and you aren't able to do anything at all. The heat is getting to people

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I think full heat stroke is more likely.

 

[Omzz]

Really? Hope not

 

[Diamond]

Yeah it began with cramps but after he collapsed they put ice everywhere on him to cool him off.

 

[Diprosalic]

oh wow :/
have a quick recovery JS

 

[OmniGamer]

Wow, been a while since I've tuned in, but Murray is looking quite healthy

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Mannarino is playing well above his rank, this is a surprisingly quality match.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

damn, that point for 30-40. Murray didn't even play badly, kudos to the Frenchman.

 

[John Dunbar]

we can only hope seppi would do this against djokovic. would make me forgive him for the australian open.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

gosh, what a dreadful choke by Mannarino. I'm a Murray fan and even I don't think he deserved that set.

EDIT: in fact, choke averted. well done
