What a run

Fully on board the Osaka bandwagon

[silver]

I remember when people thought Djokovic was going to catch Nadal and Federer's number of grand slams. Pfft...

[BarrileteCosmico]

****ing rain screwed Peque's momentum. No way Nadal doesn't come back stronger tomorrow.

Also who decided to end a match on a 5-5 tiebreaker? What a blueball ffs

Anyways until Roland Garros gets roofs it's officially the worst Grand Slam

[RealGunner]

This match between anderson and Isner

Two 6'8 and 6'10 guys trying to use their strength to break each other. No technique involved.

Absolutely awful.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Unreal hating because Anderson dealt with Old Man Roger smh.

[BarrileteCosmico]

Delpo-Nadal match was amazing. Not ashamed to admit I watched that over the England-Croatia match, no regrets.

[RealGunner]

That Del Potro's back hand

lord

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Nadal and Djokovic has been amazing so far.

Don't quite get why they'd bother starting so late though, I would have thought it would make more sense not to bother and start from the beginning instead of continuing tomorrow half way through.

[silver]

Then they'll have one less rest day.

[RealGunner]

This is proper tennis

[BarrileteCosmico]

Sad to see Nadal about to lose this by slipping like prime Gerrard

AAND it's done. Djokovic on to the final.

[BusterLfc]

The king is back

Noleee

[RealGunner]

Djokovic hasn't looked this good in years

[RealGunner]

Immense by kerber

[BusterLfc]

Tennis is coming home

Hide yo wives, hide yo kids, Djoko is back

[RealGunner]

Saved tennis

[BusterLfc]

Djokovic beats Federer (6-4, 6-4) in the Cincinatti finals and becomes the first tennis player in history to win all 9 masters, all 4 slams, WTF and davis cup.

Tennis? Completed it, mate.

[BusterLfc]

USO gonna be interesting this year.

Murray still isn't even close to his best game and Wawrinka looked good so far since coming back but not like the old Wawrinka. Outside of the big 3, I think Delpo and Cilic can go far if they find their game, everyone expects finally a good grand slam run from Zverev but I'm not so sure about it.

Would love another epic Djokovic-Nadal match, preferably in the final.

Don't know what is greater. This point:

Why do the women's seeds always lose so early in grand slams?

[El Gunner]

Kyrgios was like 'holy shit, Federer, my hero, you just did that?!?!?!'

[RealGunner]

Only federer can do that ffs

[The Madrid One]

My favorite player ever, Marat Safin, did an interview for Marca the other day where he said that the young crop of players is poor and that this is bad for tennis because Federer shouldn't be so dominant at almost 40. Safin said that back in his day if players were talented they were expected to start showing around age 18, and now if we see a slightly above average 25 year old we start treating them as next gen. Like Dimitrov and Kyrgios, who yes, have been talked about for years, but have not progressed to anything relevant.

[BarrileteCosmico]

Safin is a bit of a troll tbf

Shapo has lots of potential at only 19, looks like the real deal
