raonic/isner inevitably going 5, tho no tiebreaks yet (pity anyone misguided enough to have bet "Will there be a tiebreak played? Yes -5000, if it doesnt come in) o_o

Mysteriously* waking up at 5:51am to find Millman at MP: maybe I just had to be there for the end of Fed’s career :((* not really, GF’s alarm goes off at 5:50)10 double faults? Served at 6-3 5-4 40/15? Sounds like a disaster tbh. What’s the longest ever gap between Slams? For Delpo it would be 9 years...
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 05:07 (five years ago) link
thiem pushing this to 5 is impressive
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 04:51 (five years ago) link
Goddammit. Missed smash on MP.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 06:05 (five years ago) link
great match
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Wednesday, 5 September 2018 06:07 (five years ago) link
After Fed’s fall I was really hoping for a last four with none of the old guard. Del Potro-Thiem/Nishikori-Millman would have been ideal. Nadal only won seven points in that first set.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 08:48 (five years ago) link
well, millman made him work a bit

I'm worried Serena doesn't have any real friends, because a real friend would have talked to her about that dress
― strong deutan (rip van wanko), Friday, 7 September 2018 00:04 (five years ago) link
serena has transcended all these things
― mookieproof, Friday, 7 September 2018 00:28 (five years ago) link
stoked for Osaka, hopefully it's a great final!
― monotony, Friday, 7 September 2018 05:42 (five years ago) link
I loved the dress. It's like when Usain Bolt turns and smiles at the camera before he crosses the finish line.
― Yerac, Friday, 7 September 2018 11:07 (five years ago) link
delpo chokin away a service game for the first set
― mookieproof, Friday, 7 September 2018 21:12 (five years ago) link
So what's the feeling? I'd like Serena to get another slam but can't help feeling that I'd like Osaka to do it as well.
Delpo to win on Sunday would be sweet, but he's never beaten Djoko in a slam and I can see heartbreak.
uk ppl what's the stream you are using for this if any?

scroll down the list of channels until you find one that'll be showing the tennis, probably eurosport idk

Its on amazon prime in the uk (they got the rights from sky/eurosport)...don't know if that's gonna do it.

Anything to detract from Margaret Court's legacy is a win.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 19:11 (five years ago) link
Only seeing this thing through tweets but Osaka is dominating and has won the first set.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:08 (five years ago) link
Listening on the radio. Epic game 4, Serena breaks!!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:21 (five years ago) link
What happened with the coaching thing! I missed it!
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:30 (five years ago) link
This is bullshit!
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:31 (five years ago) link
Dude. Serena IS the game. The first thing I thought of was McEnroe getting away with years of this bullshit.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:34 (five years ago) link
She received a warning for coaching, she denied she was being coached, but the replay showed Mouratoglou was in fact giving some kind of instruction.
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link
Fucking fine the coach.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:38 (five years ago) link
That happened in the second game of set 2, and she’s been unravelling ever since. Osaka got under her skin big time (with her fantastic playing, I should add)
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:39 (five years ago) link
xp Yes, the game fine is weird
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:40 (five years ago) link
I would burn that place down. With all the shit they put on Serena, especially this year.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:41 (five years ago) link
Osaka win is totally deserved though
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:42 (five years ago) link
Both of these things can be true.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:44 (five years ago) link
This was extraordinary. Osaka was ice cool throughout to wrap it up. What a player!!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link
I need to find out what happened before. we tuned in way late.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
The umpire was wrong but Serena was weirdly channelling McEnroe to get herself going against an opponent who had all the answers.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:47 (five years ago) link
Never forget the Serena rant against Ramos (its hard to believe he will ever umpire a slam final again).
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:50 (five years ago) link
Yeah, that umpire is done. Especially if all other coaches are coaching every single point in his matches.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 21:56 (five years ago) link
That was very emotional. We are so teary here. She has had to get through so much shit recently ( I mean her entire life).
This is by far the most upsetting match I have ever seen. And this awards ceremony. We are crying.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 22:03 (five years ago) link
this is all very crazy and amazing
― the bhagwanadook (symsymsym), Saturday, 8 September 2018 22:04 (five years ago) link
Holy shit, if every single coach is out there making hand gestures or talking to themselves or whatever, remove the coaches from the court.
― Yerac, Saturday, 8 September 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
I get that but there is something entitled about her behaviour (lol "we'll get through this"). The umpire made a mistake but there was such a loss of control here.
Williams was getting beaten by a better player on the day, and now hearing Osaka she can't even enjoy it. I hope she will in time.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 September 2018 22:09 (five years ago) link
Poor Osaka. That umpire is an ass.

jesus lord, nearly 20 min game here. another bp saved.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 September 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
Djoko holds a 20 min game...he went up to the umpire to ask about the ball change and engaged Del Potro in that...interesting, is all I'll say.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 September 2018 22:12 (five years ago) link
Fairly easy hold Delpo: 5-4

2 SPs Djoko :-(
yup, I was right

he had what 7 BPs in that epic game? god fuck this.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 September 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link
He "only" had 3 BPs in that game (8 deuces). 95min, 99pts, what an insane set of tennis. Oh well, it's bed for me. Hope I wake up to an extraordinary story.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 9 September 2018 22:43 (five years ago) link
alas. Not sure why Del Potro played in a Brazil shirt anyway.
