Players have been defaulted for that in the past and Kyrgios is lucky he wasn't
lol cmon lex gimme some credit there, tongue planted further into cheek than kyrgios' when he plays those thru-the-legs shots at 40-0

find it compelling that someone is channelling bahrami and leconte in serious nu-era competitive tennis. of course i don't rly approve but it's like a morality play or something
― rahrah avis (imago), Friday, 3 July 2015 12:52 (eight years ago) link
his antics seem to be working, too: raonic off his stride, 3BPs
― rahrah avis (imago), Friday, 3 July 2015 12:53 (eight years ago) link
I can't really get too mad at Kyrgios because his game is so much fun to watch. And bless him if he takes out Raonic.

Goffin the first into the last 16 :) His first Slam second week since his RG 2012 breakthrough

down BP in the third set, Dimitrov leaves a ball that lands in. It was obvious already but he will never happen
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:45 (eight years ago) link
bencic has stormed back impressively
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:50 (eight years ago) link
i root for gasquet cuz hes maybe the only pro ive seen sweat as much as i do on ct
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:51 (eight years ago) link
Bencic back from 1-5 to 6-5...
xps Roddick and Kuznetsova
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:55 (eight years ago) link
Goodness, that last game of Gasquet/Dimitrov. Gasquet doing his utmost to gag away a match he was in total control of from 40-0 up, four MPs later just started playing woeful passive shit that landed on the service line, so Dimitrov dumps two basic BHs halfway up the net to push him over the line
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 14:08 (eight years ago) link
Great stuff (amidst some terrible extraneous stuff) from Kyrgios there, was a decent watch
― rahrah avis (imago), Friday, 3 July 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link
Bencic has now made the second week of a Slam for the second time...and this is only the seventh Slam she's contested. So clutch, both in the first set comeback and throughout the very tight second set. Didn't let injury or fatigue get to her. Nine-match winning streak.
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link
Really didn't think Lucie would navigate her tough draw, thought she was heading for a post-RG dip after her horror show at Eastbourne. Kudos to her for toughing out Riske and Stephens. Better at being a top player than I'd predicted!

Was so excited about Zarina Diyas getting into R4 for the second year running that I didn't notice Watson actually making a match of it
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
Wow, Watson just took a set off Serena. Despite not making a single first serve in that game, I don't think
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:27 (eight years ago) link
hitting a lot of extreme angles and going for it, short pts, etc p nice job
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:31 (eight years ago) link
and Watson's broken her first game
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:31 (eight years ago) link
:o
Watson's anticipation is on point
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:34 (eight years ago) link
yea serenas timing is a lil off
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:39 (eight years ago) link
oh boy

Serena loses serve with two DFs to go a double break down :o
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link
This has to be one of the biggest shocks ever if she wins
― tayto fan (Michael B), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link
This is unforced error central from Serena here.
― ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:45 (eight years ago) link
if Watson can hold this game she'll've earned this match
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
Watson throwing in junk and dropshots and changes of pace and retrieving everything is exactly what Cornet did last year and the textbook way of eliciting errors from Serena
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:47 (eight years ago) link
That epic game where Watson got broken was textbook turning point, I guess. Making more errors now, Serena banging down aces
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:55 (eight years ago) link
don't know, a couple of times it's looked like Watson's going to tighten up but she keeps playing thru it. Serena, on the other hand...
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link
ok now it's turning back again

wdn't bet against Williams from here

Oof. From 40-0 up, Heather?
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:01 (eight years ago) link
Oracene has been everything in this match. I think she was napping for most of it, spent the period where Serena went down 0-3 having an inexplicable giggle fit and is now like

fantastic point from Watson for that game
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link
omg but not as good as that one
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:12 (eight years ago) link
Watson's defence!
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link
three break points!!!
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:13 (eight years ago) link
omigod she's serving for the match
no kiss of death but Watson's composure alone here has been massive
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:14 (eight years ago) link
Two brilliant games in a row, whoa. Watson to serve for it
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:15 (eight years ago) link
Watson has played her share of ridiculous rollercoaster matches with 5 million momentum shifts, she should be used to them
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:16 (eight years ago) link
suddenly getting a lot more first serves in
― efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:18 (eight years ago) link
lol that loopy topspin FH on the line to save BP
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:19 (eight years ago) link
5-5...
― lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link
5 million and 1

there was just no way heather was gonna serve that out, i give her massive credit getting to deuce
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:23 (eight years ago) link
that miss could be the killer
