Players have been defaulted for that in the past and Kyrgios is lucky he wasn't

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 12:50 (eight years ago) link

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

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:11 (eight years ago) link

Vandeweghe just hit 3 DFs in a row. LOL.

oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Friday, 3 July 2015 13:36 (eight years ago) link

always love discussion of minibreaks

mookieproof, Friday, 3 July 2015 13:43 (eight years ago) link

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!

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 16:01 (eight years ago) link

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

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:40 (eight years ago) link

wau

mookieproof, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:40 (eight years ago) link

!!!!!!

ailsa, Friday, 3 July 2015 17:40 (eight years ago) link

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

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 17:59 (eight years ago) link

wdn't bet against Williams from here

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:00 (eight years ago) link

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

lex pretend, Friday, 3 July 2015 18:08 (eight years ago) link

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

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:20 (eight years ago) link

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

efreet liberal (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 July 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
