Does anyone else see Fed’s backhand as his weak link? He seems to be mishitting it more often over the last few years. Just not as consistent as it used to be.

Glad to see him move on.

Coco Gauff with an exciting three set win. Hope she has another nice run.

That there is doing it right.

**Marshall Tucker** · 08-28-2019, 09:19 AM

^ that's on the court. no way.

**BmillsSkier** · 08-28-2019, 01:27 PM

First set rust seems to be the M.O. for Fed.

Djokovic warming up on center court, maybe he should have stretched that left shoulder a bit more.

I'm going to the Open tomorrow, scored free tix

I haven't been in 35 years and this time I get to take my kids. Should be fun.

How old are the kids? I sent you a PM about some fun access for them.

feeling old reading the NYT article on the evolution of grips...

the images of current stars at point of contact look like contortionists to me

She'll have to dethrone the defending champ to go any farther..

What's even more startling is that they play tennis on the high plains of upper mongolia! Has tennis now replaced the traditional Buzkashi as the sport of our Mongol friends?

Oh, and GO SHAPO! GO BIANCA!
Wish I could be there, or even just watch...
Enjoy mags that are there, a fine time indeed.
Dee Hubbs,
Man, I want to sit with you one day... Thinking I'll do a multi-day stint at the 2021 event. Hope you're going. See you there MarshallT.

**garyfromterrace** · 08-31-2019, 12:29 PM

Bianca! Bang!
Ok now Shapo. Would love to watch this one Monfils is so much fun to watch and Shapo is entertaining as hell.

**Sluff** · 08-31-2019, 01:56 PM

Coco or Osaka? Should be a good one tonight. Go Coco.

**SumJongGuy** · 08-31-2019, 06:51 PM

Well, that's the end of that run. Great effort all in all from the kid. Hope she continues to do well and gain experience. Gonna be fun to see her fill the Williams sisters' shoes in a couple years if all goes well for her.

**gravitylover** · 09-01-2019, 07:19 PM

We had a good time there on Friday. Dee Hubbs thanks for the offer and sorry we didn't hook up but got busy watching all sorts of good stuff and my phone died early afternoon, I forgot to top it off in the car on the way there then took too many pictures

It's funny how you don't think you like watching doubles until you're right at courtside and it takes on a whole new meaning. We saw a few matches that turned out to be better than we would have thought. That Wawrinka match was kickass! That Koepfer - Basilashvili match was even better but that may have been because it was on a much smaller court so we were sitting so much closer.

Yo Biggins it looked like you had a good time

**DolphinSki** · 09-03-2019, 05:53 PM

Holy shit, Serena

**::: :::** · 09-03-2019, 09:31 PM

Federer getting challenged

**The Tortoise** · 09-03-2019, 09:50 PM

Damn. Really wanted to see him win this one.

Monfils vs Berrettini......brilliant tennis.

Haha, can you say Yannick Noah 😁
Must have been a helluva match, sort of wish I saw it but I was having way too much fun.

Hope I can see some of Bianca's match.

**PlayItLeo** · 09-04-2019, 04:24 PM

Great match. Was pulling hard for Monfils but his serve let him down in the end. Crazy how many times he should’ve/could’ve lost the match before pushing it to a breaker.
