Glory_Days Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Well, that sucked. Shouldn't be surprised, Milos can't seem to beat the top guys (Nadal still counts as that when he's healthy/on his game) in any of the Majors. The top guys are just too good it seems and are able to pick apart Milos, he pretty much has to win every service game if he hopes to win, it's easier for the top guys to break Milos then Milos breaking them. Glad CoCo is gone...didn't watch much of her games, but from what I did see and some highlights...what a cow. I almost wish she had faced Serena just so she could have laid the utter smackdown on her and humiliated/humbled her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory_Days Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Well, we don't get to see Milos in the final, but we get the next best thing! Another Fed vs Nadel Grand Slam final. Pretty sure lot of people didn't think they would ever see another one of those, with Nadel's injuries and Fed's age/injuries and with the emergence of Murray and Joker. I'm actually more excited to watch this then I would have been a Milos final. Hoping for a Fed win, but as long as it's great Tennis I'll be happy with either one winning. Wow, didn't realize if Nadel wins this he would be first player in open era history to win each Grand Slam at least twice, not even Fed has done that. We also get Williams Sisters going head to head again! Are we back in 2009? lol Shame Tennis isn't a bigger sport here in Canada/N.A. I find it way more exciting to watch then Basketball or Baseball.

Beary Sweet Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Anyone watching the championship between Fed and Nadal... Fed was serving real well in the 1st set and won it but Nadal is bouncing back well here in the 2nd.. back to the old days when these two went the distance almost every time they met and they were very entertaining matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to pass out soon. Both Fed and Nadal are playing well. As much as I want Fed to win, Rafa will probably come back and win the 4th.

oldnews Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Right to the bittersweet end. Surprised that one didn't go longer tbh. Didn't think Federer had a hope in hell after being broke to start the 5th, and then blowing a handful of break points to go down 2-0.... Epic pushback against a guy that defines compete-level. I suppose it didn't hurt that Federer had the extra day of rest/recovery. At a tournament as outstanding as the AO, that's something that shouldn't happen imo. Both semis should be on the same day.

The playing field needs to be level regardless of any natural advantage a player might have due to age or other factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I guess Fed deserved to win the Aussie Open. Coincidence though that Sampras was also the 17th seed when he won his 18th major also.. nevertheless missed the final set which turned out to be the best. Nadal showed some fight in him when he was down a set every other set, but this isn't the Nadal who always found a way to beat Fed back then. But he deserves some credit for forcing a 5th and deciding set. This is also probably the last major Fed has won since Joker, Murray, Raonic will all want to bounce back next major in Wimbledon.

Where's Wellwood Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I feel awful for Shapovalov. Reckless, stupid, and immature of him to fire the ball so hard in frustration. Absolutely did not mean it, but will likely be fined/suspended. Puts a damper on an amazing effort by Pospisil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivethej Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Anyone hear about Genie making a Super Bowl bet with some random guy on twitter. She guaranteed Atlanta would win and promised she would go on a date with him if they didn't. Such a lucky guy. He's the real winner of Super Bowl. Nice to see Genie is making good on her end. I wonder how her boyfriend is feeling about this Genie said she's gonna fly him out to upcoming tourney, but he has to arrange everything for the date and be gentlemen of course.

She redeemed herself a little in my eyes with this move...I was gradually losing any like I had for her on and off court....but this pulled her back ...classy.
