Is this the first you see Nicu playing? That's her signature shot.

Evans could have been something incredible if he wasn't an arsehole who put absolutely no effort towards his career. He's like Tomic but even more.
Havent sure her much no...it just seem like extra work on her wrist for a shot with hardly no velocity that most player are not bothered with the effect after seeing it a few times...
Witthoeft is making a come back against Vinci...she also looks like a young Sharapova,especially her side.

It's good to see Wozniacki playing well again
I'm just wondering at what age Niculescu went "ok, that's ok, not having a top spin forehand is ok".
Man, Witthoeft shows a lot of potential.

They have such similar games. Keys just has a little more experience

Osaka and Keys going the distance.

Keys can learn a few things from Osaka, like when to hone in your ball bashing a bit. Osaka could be the next half-Japanese Serena lol

Wouldn't be surprised if that one goes 5 sets. Baghdatis seems to love playing 5 setters
John Dunbar
correct about everything
so basically tsonga is the only chance djokovic will have a real match before the semi. smh, tennis on life support again.

Can we REALLY talk about Madison Keys legendary comeback!!!
Osaka choked so hard, I feel BAD! 😭 😭 Tough loss for the girl.. When she started crying.. I was just hurt. She let her entire nerves get to her.. Madison completely destroyed her.

Osaka is just 18 though. It is so hard for a teenage girl to reel in her emotions during a collapse like that. Makes it more impressive to see a teen go far into a slam these days.

He had to play 6 games this time though!
oh yeah he'll feel those 6 games when he wakes up in the morning!

NYC and Long Island are under a tropical storm watch for Tuesday. Hope the Ashe roof can handle the rain and high winds
Evans and Kyrgios are playing doubles. Fitting!

At least Kyrgios actually keeps in shape. I remember seeing Evans swagger into a match clearly overweight and having just extinguished a cigarette he'd been smoking on the intro. Man gives absolutely no fucks, and word is he doesn't even practice often. Despite that he has a number of top ten wins including taking Kei out of the US Open plus Davis Cup histrionics. I mean, I literally don't understand how you could know you could probably make at least a few hundred thousand off your career if not more but decide to just piss it all away.

Osaka's choke was tough to watch. I suppose in a way it's better than it happens to her when she's 18, but that was ugly. Keys did well to stay in and go for the kill though. Has Wozniacki next.
Konta completely demolished Bencic. Her serve was untouchable while her ground game simply overpowered the Swiss. Sevastova next - maybe 2nd Slam QF of the year for Jo. Would play Keys or Wozniacki there.
You'd think Murray's draw of Rosol - Granollers - Lorenzi would be the easiest road to the second week in any Slam of the year. But Djokovic one upped him again.
Best win of Sock's career against Cilic? Probably. But Tsonga looked in strong form today against Anderson, doubt he makes QF.

Edmund's backhand is completely transformed. I mean, it's not hitting winners or anything but it has been absolutely and completely dependable when it used to be the key to beating to him. He's due for a serious rise up the rankings if he can keep it up, should be eyeing trying to get a seed for next Wimbledon.
lol got to go with the big Nike sponsor money hehe...
