ILE rolling non-slam Tennis thread

ivo hasnt been broken in 60 straight service games

he's retweeting E40 and Snoop about police brutalities

also, isn't it cool that he's playing one of his best seasons at 37! :-)

agree i like him

shapovalovs game looks p good

granted kyrgios is fucking around somewhat and the 17 yr old looks to be giving max effort

will be a great w for the kid, shameful loss for nick

he looks kinda like a hockey player, will be adored in canada

could def beat dimitrov nxt rd

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?

wow novak is playing doubles today, prob prep for rio I guess

lol that they bumped novak in singles from Wednesday night to Wednesday day to play shapovalov wed night

so fed out for the year :(

im hitting up rogers cup tmorrow, hyped for sock v stan

Nicole Gibbs dragging Vandeweghe for her Trump support on Twitter, lol.

Monfils/Goffin was an extremely fun match, Kasatkina/Vinci was good too.

^I was in attendance for monfils/goffin; monfils was serving p amazingly; gael kept tying his shoe during the match, and after a while a spectator yelled "DOUBLE KNOT" lol

novak/delpo rd 1 @ rio!

lmao dy losing in straights to opelka

1st ever mens olympic double bagel millman over berankis

sock is now down a set and a break to taro daniel

lmao sock said he has walking pneumonia

flipkens/venus is a p entertaining watch rn

this match is good

flipkins has gotten lucky in a few big spots but still props as shes playing as well as ive ever seen her also

venus is really tired

kirsten missed two straight reg rally ball forehands 2 ft long or shed have this break already

lol flipkens immed gives the break back at love to the surprise of absolutely no one

id be fine w the winner of this just getting the gold btw

this is like a 3 hr match

venus mishit a serve as badly as ive ever seen anyone

flipkens!

lol @ day 2 so far

haboob hits area, delaying all outer courts

delpo trapped in elevator

dustin brown badly rolls his ankle & has to retire up a set on belucci

venus is struggling

delpo playing great

delpos forehand is just godly

novak has to construct pts or hope for an error, amazingly doesnt have a weapon here to hurt delpo

this match is like watching if there was an alternate history where delpo was healthy and rampaging the last ~3 yrs

Magnificent. Worth staying up until 3am for.

Man that was incredible to watch. I have missed Del Potro so much.

omg delpo won?! best news I've woken up to in ages :D :D

brilliant <3

waking up out of general anaesthetic to an unexpected Pony win has redeemed my week

His forehand <3333

slow courts favouring the big hitters like Delpo and Petra today - gives even snails like Kvitova time to track down difficult shots, and they can still hit through the court

The first set of Cornet/Serena was fun as in comical. Serena hates playing her so much. Smashing her racquet while leading 3-2 in set one.

Puig just HAMMERED Muguruza 61 61. She is so fuelled by Puerto Rican pride, gonna call her for the bronze medal right here

Five DFs in one game just now from Serena. Down a set and a break.

She's gone. Svitolina wins four and three.

cuevas/belluci has been incred entertaining

there've been some great matches already this olympics

When Serena hit that ace at 3-3, deuce, I was like, oh she's found her serve at last, that's the turning point! And then she completely fell apart and looked like she gave up too. I mean the 5 DFs were shocking but the last couple of games were total collapse.

Fognini has reeled off seven straight games to go from 1-6 1-2* to 1-6 6-2 *2-0 vs Murray. He's drop-shotting the defending champ to death.

Naturally, Fognini being Fognini, eight straight games is follows by losing six on the bounce - Murray through to the QF.

Nishikori for Gold.
