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

Radek's a crafty player... always has been!  But then the Muzz woke up! 

LOL @ the fake suspenders.

Elsewhere...

Oh Grigor.

nikecourt"Carpe Diem has meant a lot to me since I was a kid. Sometimes I think, 'Okay, you know what. I'm here. Why not me? Why can't I win that match? Why wouldn't I win that tournament? Why can't I lift that trophy?'" - @grigordimitrov #stealtheshow

Straight disgusting. You'd think he'd have something in his bag for when his contacts get dry. I would never do that.

Lisicki has had an awful year... She isn't even in the Top 50 anymore. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if she makes her usual QF/SF run at Wimbledon. She'll be the most dangerous unseeded player there without question.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Novak is the best there is, best there was and best there will ever be

 

[shogun]

What in the hell? That is beyond nasty.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

What in the hell? That is beyond nasty.

That's ridiculous

 

[Sinner]

  I get that that was in between service games and that he didn't have time for saline, but still... 

 

[slighted]

Let the homie Stepanek flourish against Murray

 

 

[quell]

Couldnt you get an eye infection doing that? It fell on the court I believe

Anyways Stepanek up 5-4 in the 5th, 40-40

 

[shogun]

Human saliva has bacteria in it and i'm sure his contact also has some from being in his eye. There must be water bottles around, rinse it off with that.

 

[aepps20]

The Big Homie Step is a Savage for that one. Maybe his savageness is why he gets WTA buns

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Odds that Stepanek pisses on his hands before a match to toughen them up? 

Also, Vicha is in trouble. 

 

[otakuant]

Credit to Vika for fighting through the pain and winning the second set. Let's see how well that foot holds up in the third...

Venus gets a rare win at Roland Garros. Also, Fognini has been eliminated... Phew.

 

Edit: Damn. Get well soon, Vika.

 

[Sinner]

Vika fought so hard in that 2nd... but just couldn't continue... man, hard luck. 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Hoping Vicha heals well for the grass season. I really want her to win a major this year. 

Wimbledon would be nice. 

 

[Sinner]

 

 

[thadangerousmind]

I thought Vika was playing injury free?

 

[Sinner]

Alize with the most interesting outfit so far... 

 

[shogun]

She must like overalls. Should've had denim material, word to agassi.

 

[aepps20]

I totally forgot that ESPN gave up its rights to the French Open this year. The coverage of the tournament is downright awful. I'm glad that I have the tennis channel but the coverage is BUNS.

 

[aepps20]

Murray is in trouble again.

 

[Sinner]

10 sets in 3 days/2 matches... crikey. 

 

[otakuant]

Escape artist Muzz.

He gets Karlovic next in round 3.

 

[thadangerousmind]

I'm glad NBC has weekend coverage in the states. Tennis channel sucks year round in my opinion.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Anybody know if Simona is in a relationship

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Tsonga dug himself out of 0-2.
