The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 Oz Open Nadal Out)

Of all the sports they have on ESPN, tennis has the best announcers by far, in my opinion. I'm watching this Serena match on the tennis channel broadcast and even they ain't as good.
 
Serena pisses me off playing like Federer. She's not going for any shots except the serve just trying to keep the ball in play until her opponent makes a mistake. Thank God Garbine isn't her friend like Caro & Aga. She always takes it easy on them.

The Queen prevails yet again. Great match from Muguruza. I seriously thought she was gonna pull off the upset after Serena lost that first set.

We're getting some high quality matches from the women today.
 
Solid match from Serena and Mugz. This was the most mental toughness I've seen from Serena in 2 years.
 
I don't know what happened to her in that second set, but nice win from Venus. She's moving closer and closer to the top of the rankings.

Not sure if I can stay up to watch Nole's match.
 
^ Vee got a bit passive in the 2nd, which allowed Aga to move her around... also threw in a few more errors, I think.  

Much more aggressive in the 3rd despite being down an early break.  
 
Very impressed with Vee and Serena. Both are gutting out wins which is great. It's crazy when you think about their ages in tennis years. Their contemporaries are either retired, playing on the legends circuit or coaching players they play (Davenport coaches Keys). Wow is all I can say.
 
You sorta expect Serena to comeback, but for Vee, it's more impressive given that she's a bit older and has had to deal with her health issues.  

Anyway... some crazy good shots by Nole today...
