For the first time in ______ majors, a champion outside of the Big 4 will be crowned.

Also, Shapo has the loud cursing dialed in on my feed.

[garyfromterrace]

Cursing is very fucking Canadian. Even in Russian. Great match going on.

Djokovic is a fucking idiot and this isn't the first time he's proven that point. Glad they kicked him out. I'm sure he regretted it a microsecond later but that was no accident.

Yeah, he seems like a douchebag to me. To wit:

But he was hardly a big winner during the forced off-season. He generated concern and controversy by questioning vaccination and claiming that water could be affected by human emotions. And he dented his credibility and brand by organizing the Adria Tour, a charity exhibition series in Serbia and Croatia in June that seriously lacked in social distancing and decorum, leading to a cluster of coronavirus cases. It was canceled before the finish with several leading players and some support staff testing positive.

Shit damn, few too many unforced errors for Shapo, hats off to the Spaniard. For a clay court guy he was solid on the hard court.

Interesting commientaries on the US double-standard, Serenia vs. Djokovic. While they are different fact patterns I agree. We should have been a lot harsher with Serena than we were.

I Like shapo, but he has a hard time rising to the big occasion.

Yeah thinking the same on both topics. But Serena didn't organize a tourney, ignore Covid protocols and end up spreading that shit. She's just a very poor sportsman.

I keep telling myself Shapo is still a puppy (and so is Felix) so I don't panic.

I'm playing a doubles tourney later this year apparently and am looking forward to getting fucking squashed - will report back

[Sluff]

Azarenka looking unstoppable. Putting together her hard court game at the right time.

Try not to hit a ball at any line judges and I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Thiem Medvedev match should be absolute fire.

Ok. You win. Can you tell us how (without having to eliminate us)?

Camera guy?

Ball boy.. snuck the iPhone out?

[Dee Hubbs]

It’s actually weird seeing the “BallAdults”. They all have to be over 21, because they have to stay in the USTA hotel, and are tested for COVID every four days.

^ Highly doubtful hes a bboy; you'd be burned at the stake for pulling out a phone.

You missed the humor on this one.
It’s my photo, and its me who suggested I was a ball boy that snuck a photo.


No I’m not a ball boy.
I’m also the guy posting photos of Marcel Hirscher skiing on Marker bindings, or the real flex of Mikaela’s boots.

Wow that was a grind of a final!
