Halep in serious trouble. Down a break in third set against Cepelova. E: genie and halep out. Met in semi last year. fancyclown fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jun 30, 2015 |

So speaking as someone who's never hit a tennis ball in his life, what would be the tactic against the big hitters? Slice the ball low, vary the pace, etc.? I'm not sure I've ever seen Bouchard hit a slice now that I think about it. Watching this match it looked to me like she was trying to force it too much, refusing to back from the baseline, going for unlikely winners too often (and sending them way long or wide), etc. At this point I feel like just pulling back a little and getting into the rallies more could do wonders. If this freefall lasts much longer I might actually start rooting for her again despite myself, just out of pity. Petra is also someone who likes to go for winners as much as possible, but I feel like she has a lot more variety in her shot selection (and she comes forward a lot more often), and recently she's learned to be patient during the rallies as well. Meanwhile Halep is a break down in the third. :\

Kyrgios looking a bit out of sorts vs. Juan Monaco. Movement not great, rhythm not great, missing a lot of shots. On serve in the first but he's not on song.

Man every time Monaco tries to lift Kyrgios just smashes it past him. This is the first service game of his that has gone to deuce. Monaco hasn't seen a break point yet. Edit; gently caress Monaco had that rally won 5 times... Nope. No break point for you Juan. Poor Monaco...Nothing is landing when it needs to. Not his day at all. Hasn't even played bad.

Dustin Brown is playing Nadal on Centre Court and if you aren't hyped for this, you aren't a tennis fan.   Could be the match of the tournament!

He makes Nadal wack himself in the leg and takes 1st set.  E: 24 times he came to the net in that set. fancyclown fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jul 2, 2015 |

This owns. They should lengthen the grass court season by a couple more weeks just so we can see more of Brown every year since he completely vanishes during the rest of the season.

Nadal is so off. Can't hit a passing shot for the life of him. E: Finally got one there to get to 40/40. Should try some lobs to force Brown away from the net.
