Rain break with Djoko serving at deuce
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 12:25 (five years ago) link
I hate these rain delays - Djokovic doesn't need any help regaining momentum.
Husband and I have been on the road for four hours right now (it's Eid weekend here in Malaysia) - listening to tennis on the radio is weirdly more intense than watching it on TV.

First point at a return Djoko stops the point believing to be out. Umpire disagrees but Djoko saves BP and then holds. Still a break down but it could've been the end.

Thiem has his game in working order again. Holds nicely.

beautiful ripped thiem forehand to finish
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:03 (five years ago) link
Thiem!!!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:03 (five years ago) link
Beautiful - Nadal is laughing away somewhere but I hope he does it tomorrow.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:04 (five years ago) link
he = Thiem
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
And so to the women's final

Barty racing to a 3-0. It might be one of these matches that begins at 6-2, 3-1 in the 2nd
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:40 (five years ago) link
Vondrousova doesn't look 19, but she's playing like it. Barty's face reminds me of some British tough guy character actor. Beady eyes, tight lipped. I can't recall what I've seen him in. Sort of a Bob Hoskins type.

Barty wins 6-1, but Vondrousova was playing herself into the match toward the end of the set. If she can get to actually winning her own games we might have a final
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:02 (five years ago) link
Closer set but Barty still holding onto a break
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:34 (five years ago) link
Lets get Barty to serve for this!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:38 (five years ago) link
BP and MP
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:42 (five years ago) link
Done!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:43 (five years ago) link
Well that was decisive.
― punning display, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
She has just been ruthless. Vondrousova could've made a match out of this but no chance was given.

Ash Barty, Two-Time Smotherer of Teenage Glory

Just got back home to two gorgeous points, Thiem has just broken in the 1st
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 13:41 (five years ago) link
Looks like he is going to break at the next but every point is crazy
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 13:44 (five years ago) link
Astonishing rally to break back
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 13:45 (five years ago) link
This is jesus level
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 13:55 (five years ago) link
Incredible hold by Nadal, Thiem is giving everything he's got.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 13:57 (five years ago) link
Nadal broke which the most sublime bit of cour coverage on the Thiem drop shot
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 14:03 (five years ago) link
6-3. How was Nadal not taken to a tie-break. If I was a sportswriter I'd be shitting myself to describe what has gone on here
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 14:08 (five years ago) link
On serve so far but Thiem not putting any pressure on Nadal's serve and its fucking me up
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link

Thiem is 0/40 down - just a mix of mistakes here.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 15:01 (five years ago) link
and Nadal has gone up a level, responded - a couple of beautiful plays at the net
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 June 2019 15:06 (five years ago) link
