err haven't watched any tennis in a while but still checking following scores, Berdych got double bagelled by Goffin?!!
― cerealbar, Thursday, 12 May 2016 20:32 (eight years ago) link
I left the house yesterday evening and every one of the remaining matches wound up with a hilarious bagel scoreline -_-
Thiem played really well to beat Fed, who I didn't think was as off-form as the press or he himself suggested (he was excellent vs Zverev the day before)

Muguruza/Bacsinszky is super high quality right now

Elise Mertens d. Eugenie Bouchard (7) 6-2 6-0
the "bouchard is back!!!" narrative is getting more credible every week. what has she even done this season apart from reaching the hobart final and getting thrashed by cornet (?) in 30 minutes?
― groovemaaan, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:12 (eight years ago) link
60uchard will never leave us!
She was never "back", she just played weaker tournaments like Kuala Lumpur. Her losses at the start of the year (Babos, the Cornet thrashing, Zheng, Svitolina) are the losses she was having last year. Her game still looks rudimentary. When she plays top players like Aga or Bacsinszky (or #171-ranked qualifiers like Mertens, lol) it's barely competitive.

I wonder if Jim Parsons is still returning her calls

Meanwhile Dimitrov loses to permanently-injured Delpo, extends losing streak to 5
― the hallouminati (lex pretend), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 13:21 (seven years ago) link
Delpo remodeling himself as a fast court player is kind of sad to see
― groovemaaan, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 13:30 (seven years ago) link
just great to see that he's playing at a decent level again, did not look likely a year ago
― cerealbar, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 13:40 (seven years ago) link
lol apparently Dimitrov lost 7 straight games after the DJ played "Don't Cha" during the changeover

Watching Mladenovic win even as Sharapova gets two years feels v appropriate

damn 2 years for sharapova RIP

her "strategy" of trying to discredite the ITF is so weird and this new facebook post does not help her at all imho
― groovemaaan, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 15:38 (seven years ago) link
full document very interesting

especially her active concealment of using meldonium before it was banned
― the hallouminati (lex pretend), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 15:47 (seven years ago) link
Unexpected meldonium effects (side effects) may include an irregular heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, irregular skin conditions, an allergic reaction, the inability to defeat Serena Williams and/or indigestion.

the original prescribing doctor having her on 30 supplements/medications as a like 18-19 yr old seems insane
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:13 (seven years ago) link
upping her dosage before "special matches" is eyebrow-raising

Federer struggling against Taylor Fritz on his comeback in Stuttgart. Mostly I'm just hoping I don't see "ret." appear in the live scores app.
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 9 June 2016 11:57 (seven years ago) link
I saw the last half of that, it's not as bad as it looks - typical servebotty grass scoreline and Fritz is very good. Federer made more errors when he was being straightforwardly aggressive from the baseline but tied Fritz up in knots a ton.
― the hallouminati (lex pretend), Thursday, 9 June 2016 14:39 (seven years ago) link
Ah, I'd forgotten that he'd reached the Memphis final. Yeah, he's going to be good (= Dimitrov-good or Thiem-good, it remains to be seen).
Has Fed entered Halle too?
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 9 June 2016 14:44 (seven years ago) link
I assume so...
I rate Thiem higher than Dimitrov but he definitely hasn't proven he's going to be better yet. Fritz's career trajectory has been more meteoric than either, he was outside the top 1000 this time last year. I'm not really a fan of his game, albeit it's a new spin on the typical US serve-plus-FH style in that he has a huge BH as well. He'll be a new Raonic at the very least but I'd guess much more.

karlovic is not as boring as your standard servebot to watch rn imohis volleys are so good and if he gets clean forehands they are also so monstrous its insane

cackled out loud when I saw the Shapovalov result. I've seen bits of his junior matches and was def impressed then.
Azarenka news really was a bombshell. does she think she can pull a Clijsters?
