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

I can't believe Tomic and Scumbag Nicholas can't be friends. These dudes keep tennis LIT with their antics.

 

[Sinner]

Just saw what tomic said. Dude was heated. At first I didn't know what word he said since it was censored.

Hate seeing players go down with injuries, especially when it's the guy you're rooting for.

Yo I'm crying  Simona was signing autographs after her Cincy match and this cheeky dude asked her to sign a pre-surgery pic with her cleavage shown. 

There's two gems here: the little kid's reaction to seeing the pic and Simona's reaction after signing it

More and more becoming a fan of Muzz's game. 

Stop. As a Raiders brethren i plead for you to stop

We aint bout Murray

Berdych, Delpo, and Wawa w some of the dopest fits in years

 

[quell]

Sinner do you have any links to where I can buy those kits?

 

[thadangerousmind]

*watches Muguruza get dragged all over Ashe by an unranked player again*

 

[aepps20]

Embarrassing performance by Muguruza. Still can't believe how far she's falling. Why can't these players play like they do against Serena. Pathetic

 

[t21d]

darn shame about mugurza. i hate to label her as a one hit wonder. Also, can John and Chris **** about the crowd noise. todays pickup

Which kits?
PE/USO exclusives at Ross?!  Nice find!  They should have released those as the GR's! 

 

[Sinner]

Anyway... a few Day 3 randoms... I'll look for more later.

Rafa's night kit looks sweet.

Sock still not wearing the Ultra Flyknits LOL.

Agreed on Rafa's night kit.

Still kinda weird that players who are signed by the same companies are given the same shirts and shorts to wear except for guys like fed or nadal. Confusing sometimes when the women wear the same dress and hats and are playing each other.

It really comes down to money.Nike, Adidas etc save the custom outfits for their most marketable stars similar to Nike not giving every NBA player a signature shoe.

It is cheaper for these companies to make less marketable players wear the same thing both from a marketing average standpoint and from an equipment cost standpoint. These companies hope that average people like us will flip the channel one day,see some random players rocking the same fit and we go out to buy it.

On the women's side the only players that I can think of that custom get outfits are Serena, Maria and possibly Ana/Caro with the Stella gear. Kerber gets a variation of the outfit as does Garbine. On the men's side Roger and Nadal.

It's nothing new though... we saw that with Agassi/Sampras... and JMac before.  When you have your marquee guys, you obvs try to focus on them. 

But I agree... the worse is when they have two players from the same brand wear identical stuff.

Bizarre... Nole with a 2nd w/o (or close to it).   Incredible bit of fortune.

Yet they want women to play 5 sets. I wish they dropped it to 3 sets until the final then made it best of 5. Djokovic would likely have a heart attack.

Sock washed Cilic

[The_Isomotion31]
