Another women's seed out, Pavlyuchenkova.

Seems like Mardy is doing well, great to see that.

I'm going to laugh when he goes farther in this tournament than any other American this year....and he's retiring after the tournament.

Assuming he wins this, I'd expect him to match Isner's results at least. I'd be surprised if Fish beat Raonic, and I'm expecting Isner to lose to Karlovic assuming they both make it there. Then again that'll probably be a tiebreak fest so who knows how those will go.

FLopez was supposed to be out hope against certain moonballer. Damn.

Fish has you covered. One last surge of glory for the American.

 

[MIMIC]

Nice to see Fish playing well again.

Is there any top 8 guy more boring than David Ferrer?

I now dislike you.

[MIMIC]

I think Lopez's shorts are...too short

 

[Niraj]

I'd rather watch Ferrer than Berdych personally.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fish failed to serve out the match. He may lose now

 

[John Dunbar]

in the top half the only hope really is that stronga makes an unexpected appearance. cilic is certainly not going to reach the level he showed last year.

poetic prediction time: tomic beats hewitt in his last grand slam on his way to win his maiden slam. the age of bernard is upon us.

 

[Niraj]

Fifth set it is.

 

[John Dunbar]

how do you go from serving for the match to only winning one point on serve in the next two service games?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Welp, enjoy retirement Fish

 

[Niraj]

Well at least he made it a 5 set match.

Though I guess it should have been a 4 set win. Still lol.

I thought Hewitt's last slam was going to be the 2016 Australian Open?

Correct

 

[szaromir]

stamina

choke. He hit 3 unforced errors in a row and then a double fault at 0-40 when serving for the match.

 

[Ricker]

Raonic with back spasms delaying Genie's revival

Probably jinxed both now ;P

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Correct

Tomic winning AO 2016 would be hype as fuck, tbf.

 

[Kotetsu534]

I'm hyped for Keys vs. Radwanska in round three. They've both easily beaten their first two opponents and it'll be a rematch of their Wimbledon QF, which was IMO one of the best matches of that tournament. Shame the winner gets Serena.

Also how about Daria Kasatkina, through to round 3 in her very first Grand Slam after losing in qualifying. Fortune smiles.

 

[sam777]

Good start from Bertens

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena has already lost more games in this set than she did in any set in last years US Open

 

[John Dunbar]

eh, thought he had the decency to finish it with a complete season. classless thug to the end.

 

[MIMIC]

Serena's early-tournament woes continue.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena's early-tournament woes continue.

She has never lost in the 1st or 2nd round at the US Open. She'll get through today, but this is concerning going forward

 

[Milchmann]

She won Roland Garros playing like that.

 

[MIMIC]

I love when Serena looks like she's about to cry. She's so dramatic ^_^

 

[massivekettle]

I can't wait to quote myself once Bertens finishes her off within the next hour.

 

[MIMIC]

Serena. You are not Ana. Find your serve

 

[John Dunbar]

last year around wimbledon, atp and wta probably thought they hit the jackpot with dimitrov and bouchard. reality is a cruel mistress.

 

[MIMIC]

Serena sounding like Azarenka there for a minute xD

 

[darkwing]

oh boy, is Serena struggling

 

[John Dunbar]

this is around where bertens will start thinking "i wonder how i will end up losing this match?".

 

[szaromir]

Nothing against Dimitrov, but the Bouchard hype was really getting on my nerves. At least if she was as hot as say Kournikova I'd understand the mass hysteria, but she's not anywhere near that level.

Come on Bertens, don't choke this tiebreak away.

 

[Omzz]

The choke is complete

 

[MIMIC]

Serena gets all the mini-breaks back....somehow

Bouchard went to the Wimby final, FFS. She clearly is talented. She just needs to find herself.

making a slam final is of course always a great achievement, but she did have a total cakewalk draw with an injured halep in the semi. but such is reality on the wta tour, if serena gets upset pretty much anyone can sneak through.

 

[MIMIC]

lol

 

[Niraj]

Has over 6 games worth of unforced errors, still wins the set. Can't help but laugh.

 

[Omzz]

Lol bertens

 

[perfectchaos007]

Kiki mad

 

[szaromir]

Bouchard went to the Wimby final, FFS. She clearly is talented. She just needs to find herself.

There were many 1st time Wimbledon finalists in recent years, arguably all of them much more talented than Bouchard.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Once she put that ball into the net at 4-0 with Serena reeling, it was over.

What a choke.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This may be a hangover set for Kiki. Doubt she gets more than 2 games

 

[Omzz]

Some garbage serving by serena

 

[perfectchaos007]

When Serena's serve is "On" she's best in the world. When it's off like this, she's barely top 20.

 

[IISANDERII]

Bouchard serving for the match, gets broken at love. Think she's won one single point in her last 2 service games.
