he does do that a lot, but he's been pretty focused this set! i mean the general roller coaster nature of the set, the bizarre decision to serve and volley on SECOND SERVES against the best returner of all time, the drop shots, the court coverage, the crazy angles...this is what makes him so exciting to watch

also, i am now noticing for the first time something that dfw pointed out in one of his tennis essays: the pros really do have hypertrophic serving/favored arms!
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Friday, 9 September 2016 21:14 (seven years ago) link
oh yeah they're huge, any semi-serious player will have hypertrophic forearm muscles but the pros, if you ever see them in person, are alien-like

who doesn't think kerber will win the third set 6-1 or something

the fuck are these unforced errors

this is more like it, brilliant hold
― imago, Saturday, 10 September 2016 22:16 (seven years ago) link
and there's the collapse. took longer than i thought, but the way pliskova celebrated getting to 4-4 as if she'd won the whole thing...didn't get another point

Amazing that Stan has only beaten Nole 4 times in 23 attempts but causes him SO MUCH trouble at the Slams.

Nole still ahead on points - he built up quite the lead with that first set of love-holds and fistful of b-ps on Stan's serve.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 11 September 2016 23:34 (seven years ago) link
Stan finally up 122-120 in that category.

11 final wins in a row for Stan is the maddest thing. gotta say, to counteract all the hate he gets, Djokovic is consistently a v gracious loser
