Djokovic beat Federer at Wimbledon last month in the longest final in tournament history. It was a really good match and you should watch it. Current slam totals: Federer 20, Nadal 18, Djokovic 16.

On the women's side, Simona Halep bitchslapped Serena Williams in under an hour to win her 2nd slam. Serena looked slow and old and turns 38 in a month. You should watch that one too for the lulz. Naomi Osaka is seeded 1 but she's been kinda poo poo since winning the Australian Open.

Whoops if a mod wants to put the EVENT tag on the thread, that would be swell.

Also Serena is playing Sharapova at 7pm Serena is gonna wipe the floor with her.

Wearing clothes the same bright yellow color as the ball should probably be made illegal. It’s hard to imagine not being at an advantage wearing a yellow shirt, yellow wristbands, yellow hat, and yellow shoes, not to mention yellow racquet strings. The brain just has to work that much harder to pick the ball out.

It’ll never happen though.

Gorgeous hit 3 DFs serving for the match in the 2nd set. Thought that would melt her brain entirely but early 3rd set it’s still a close one :jerky::jerky:


EDIT: Osaka out, stadium sooo quiet. Bencic again great vs top 10 players. Both #1 out in R16

I always liked Medvedev just because he looks like a humble and friendly guy, but evidently he’s a huge rear end in a top hat and probably a racist. Still, the crowd loves a heel, so it’ll be fun watching all of New York strenuously rooting against him when he plays Wawrinka

oh come on, that was just a perfect heel preformance

love his style of play, he is definetly diffirentiating himself from all this baseline, boom boom, epo flavored non-sensw that has been happening in the last decade

and why is probably a racist now?

During a match in Georgia he implied that the black umpire was making favorable calls for Donald Young, who is also black, asserting without evidence that he knew they were friends.

Of course Lleyton Hewitt did the same thing in an even more overtly racist way and people still like him.

Why do people / the crowd hate medvedev making him the villain?
Is it just the us open crowd? Because those people suck anyway if you remember back to last year's final.

Man Federer has wavered between good and poo poo all match. He's in the super poo poo mode right now and just looks lost about how to beat a dude who didn't look like he could win a match all summer.

Dimitrov’s level needs to drop at some point for Federer to have a chance. That was a huge comeback from 0-40 and also failing to convert like 8 break points the game prior.

I thought he was playing mind games with the medical timeout but it looks like it was for real. Old man needs some icy hot all the time now I guess.

Lol the announcers just told Monfils girlfriend to go back to the locker room and put the head phones on to conserve her energy after her match last night, and doing 'maybe 20 fist pumps' after that last point.

Keep it classy ESPN
