TENNIS Tennis

Really? I only caught the end of it. Seemed pretty poor from the crowd booing him there.

Yea first question he was complaining about the crowd, and that's why he lost the points he did - not really giving much credit to kyrgios (that's when the crowd really booed him). But once the dude explained it was actually siiiiuuu not booo during the game, he seemed to calm down a bit.

I don't blame Mevdevdevmevlev if he's a bit salty.

There's a lot of 'gamesmanship' from Nick - if you can even call it that - and as his opponent, some of his antics would be incredibly frustrating and annoying.

I felt Medvedev did really well to play it cool all match - he didn't let any of it get to him. To me, that kind of player is far more preferable to watch than someone like Nick, as talented as he is. If he just focused on his tennis, he'd be so, so brilliant. Most of it seems to be about his image and promoting his eccentric personality though.

Medvedev gained a new fan tonight - me haha

Kyrios has all of the talent you could want, but he doesn’t have the mental fortitude to take himself to the next level and be up there with the likes of Medvedev and Djokovic etc.

If he had the fight of Popyrin or De Minaur, he would be up there contending for Grand Slam titles.

I said he would have needed to play one of the best matches of his career tonight to win but he couldn’t deliver.

You are correct, he's a lazy shit and doesn't really have the drive to be successful. But I'll cut him a break this time as it was the first time he's played competitively in 18 months

Ash Barty playing today at 6.

I’m expecting her to win but hopefully she continues to be as ruthless as she has been the past couple of games. There’s been some big upsets so far with the womens 3rd and 6th seed being knocked out by players they should have beaten easily, so if Barty isn’t switched on she could face the same fate.

I’m looking forward to the game, though.

Kyrg and Kok aboutta knock out the number 1 seed in doubles.

Nadal playing in an about an hour. He will take on 28th seed Khachanov. Should be an easy win for him.

On Barty, Giorgi is giving her a bit more of a fight than the others.

She can’t afford to slip. Giorgi will make her pay.

My boy knows her as ‘Crash Farty” and loves her because I do.

I’m letting him stay up tonight like my mum used to with me.

Daughters are actually sitting through a tennis match for the first time. Mainly focusing on how pretty the girls are though lol

This Giorgi chick makes it hard to focus on Barty, TBF.

Yeah she’s a real looker.

Kokkinakis and Kyrgios through to the next round after knocking out #1 seed Mektić and Pavić.

Big upset.

[Super Freak]

Osaka in trouble here!

 

[Super Freak]

Oh my, I think I'm in love. shes hot af

You should check out Anisimova in the match against Osaka.

She’s a looker, as well.

 

[Super Freak]

Osaka gooooone.

Big upset that one.
