Sun incredible to watch!

a week ago she was ranked 123rd; now she's at least top-55
― mookieproof, Monday, 8 July 2024 01:22 (one year ago)
Ranked 219 at start of year, made last 16 of Auckland 250 from qualies (which I think is when she switched nationality back to her place of birth), won a couple of hard-court ITFs (W50 Roehampton; W100 Bonita Springs, FL), wildcard into Dubai-1000 in Feb, knocked out Badosa (ret.). Can't call her match vs Vekic - she's playing great on the grass too. But what a great bottom half to the draw.
Musetti starting to get his eye in on the Mpet serve... levels.

Wasn't sure what to try to catch today but greatly enjoying Musetti/Perricard

Commentator gunning for an academy award though mind
― Maresn3st, Monday, 8 July 2024 11:34 (one year ago)
Funny how some players just cannot read a serve like this, and others just handle it. Not going to see 50+ aces from Mpetshi Perricard today. Single-handed BHs, you love to see it.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 8 July 2024 11:41 (one year ago)
He's really run out of steam
― Maresn3st, Monday, 8 July 2024 11:50 (one year ago)
not a lot of love for Fritz but plz beat Zverev
― tomorrow, Monday, 8 July 2024 14:35 (one year ago)
Zverev is got some knee issue so..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 14:39 (one year ago)
Poor Errani getting nailed right in the kidney by a Paolini return, ouch!
― Maresn3st, Monday, 8 July 2024 15:20 (one year ago)
Ostapenko is fucking that ball
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 15:43 (one year ago)
5-0 in 15 mins
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 15:44 (one year ago)
Towards the end of the set Yulia started getting hold of that serve and she's broken at the 2nd set
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 15:59 (one year ago)
Broken back, now muttering to herself
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:01 (one year ago)
Really good, Putinsteva, from 0-30. On serve
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:10 (one year ago)
Ostapenko serving for the match
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:32 (one year ago)
Loved it, won it on a sliced backhand winner lol
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:38 (one year ago)
Really want to see Ostapenko on a Wimbledon final
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:39 (one year ago)
What with Hurkacz, Zverev and now De Minaur (pulling up sharp like he'd just thrown his back out on match point), it would be some grim joke if the guy who had surgery three weeks ago and was 50/50 to even play got through this half of the draw partly thanks to injuries to his main rivals.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 8 July 2024 16:57 (one year ago)
Fritz is about to take this into a 5th from two sets down
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:12 (one year ago)
Fritz has broken
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:33 (one year ago)
4-1. Really fucking happy
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:34 (one year ago)
the stains on fritz’s bandanna are distracting me
― mookieproof, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:41 (one year ago)
Zverev had a lot to say at the net.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:49 (one year ago)
yeah what was that about
― mookieproof, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:51 (one year ago)
Sounds like they were talking about his knee lol.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 17:53 (one year ago)
Routine so far for Djoko.
But Rune is at least got into serving OK, so this is the set.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 18:44 (one year ago)
Djoko was feeling his tummy, Rune was getting into it etc. But at 3-3 he put in some killer returns to break.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 19:15 (one year ago)
Rune is the one millennial he can deal with, no probs.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 8 July 2024 19:16 (one year ago)
I dunno, that’s the first real blowout he’s had vs Rune since they first met when he was a rookie. Rune has beaten him twice and almost twice more at the tail end of last year. Just a wretched serving performance from what I saw. Oh well. The old man could win this.
― Michael Jones, Monday, 8 July 2024 20:48 (one year ago)
Sure but everytime I've seen Rune he has been very average. He's a bit cocky but no idea what about.

Watching Vekic - Sun for now..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 12:56 (one year ago)
2:30 resume of play on the outer courts seems a little optimistic
― Maresn3st, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 13:00 (one year ago)
Sun played a fantastic drop shot for the set!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 13:09 (one year ago)
Vekic breaks, and now to serve to get us to the final set
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 13:35 (one year ago)
Sun breaks back!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 13:43 (one year ago)
Breaks again, Vekic with a ds of her own
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 13:48 (one year ago)
:-(
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 14:09 (one year ago)
Sinner Med has been dramatic.
1-1, Sinner had a medical timeout. He wasn't right. Drugs started to work he got the break back and Med got it to win on a TB.
So now he is 2-1 like in Australia...
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 15:37 (one year ago)
Sinner smashed the 4th but down in the 5th
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 16:36 (one year ago)
Med serving for the match
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 16:41 (one year ago)
Did it well. Unfortunately he has (probably) Alcaraz and Djoko to beat
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 16:52 (one year ago)
Alcaraz finally in control here but Paul has been excellent from what I’ve seen.
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 17:43 (one year ago)
Alcaraz made short work of Paul in the end
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 18:05 (one year ago)
paolini dominant
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 18:06 (one year ago)
Paolini had too much variety for Navarro. Really hoping she wins the lot, her tennis is beautiful xp
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 18:06 (one year ago)
on the american broadcast chrissie evert was practically begging navarro to come to the net, but admitted that it probably wouldn’t work either with the way paolini was playing
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 9 July 2024 18:11 (one year ago)
I usually don't really care about Djoko, never enjoyed watching him play but man, what a jackass, doubling down yesterday, cutting interviews short, just admit you were mistaken, you fanny.
― Maresn3st, Wednesday, 10 July 2024 09:03 (one year ago)
Italian double, pleeeeease.
― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 10 July 2024 09:27 (one year ago)
Ostapenko - Paolini final would be hard, literally wouldn't know what to root for.
