Tennis #2 🎾

Not sure I like any of the men playing Centre court today, but will obviously root for Rune and Fritz. Expecting the worst though, as always.
I see more and more people rooting for Zverev, saying he finally deserves to win a slam etc. What? Are grand slams wins just handed out based on who waited long enough??

He’s reached 2 finals and 2 semi finals, and lost 2/4 matches after being 2 sets to love up, if he deserved it he’d have won one, he isn’t even entertaining to watch, idk why people like him especially when you add his personal life. If people are gonna be sentimental and say someone deserves it I’d have liked to see Dimitrov win this year, shame he got injured yesterday.

Janik looks 100 times better without his cap!

Yes I knew of her but didn’t know Navarro too, makes sense why her parents looked like they’d had a lot of plastic surgery

I had to laugh when the commentator said something like 'Dad looks tense... Mum doesn't look bothered at all!' yes that's because she can't actually move her face...

wrong thread****

I thought exactly the same!

 

[KittyScherbatsky]

I thought exactly the same!

Me too. I love his hair!

Zverev is winning and Castle is commentating.....what a 'great' match

 

[tichbourn]

Yes he does. I don’t mind him, but did he ever really win anything worthy ?!

I like John McEnroe commentating

I like McEnroe commentating too. Not keen on Andrew Castle

I love Johnny Mac! Also enjoyed Kyrgios last week. Can't bear Castle, Henman or Rusedski.

What match did Kyrgios commentate on?

I like Johnny Mac too, and I’m utterly livid that Kyrgios was a decent commentator as I cannot cope with the dissonance of enjoying something by him.

My absolute favourite is Tracey Austin; she explains the technique in a way that even I can understand

 

[KittyScherbatsky]

What match did Kyrgios commentate on?

Alcaraz/Lajal last Monday

 

[Suzesnooze]

I’ve always thought Emma handles the media well and this is the press conference for her match, but the questions are mainly about pulling out of the match with Andy. They even bring up Judy’s post but Emma says she’s sure she didn’t mean it!

Not putting down other players but Emma is clearly an intelligent young woman and I applaud her for how she handles the media side

Going to a fifth with Fritz and Zverev

COME ON TAYLOR!

id like to know what Zverev was saying at the net there

 

[forthelifeofriley]

Lip reading experts what did Sascha say at the net!?

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Bye bye, Zverev

I’d love to know what tit he was chatting at the net at the end there. It didn’t look like an overly friendly exchange, and Fritz had a look of ‘yeah, whatever mate’

 

[hannah123]

Me to Taylor Fritz

This is now a Fritz stan account. Letting him think he’s got it after losing the first 2 sets makes it even sweeter

 

[veronica71]

He wouldn’t let fritz move - what was that all about

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

He wouldn’t let fritz move - what was that all about

I get the impression he’s a controlling narc who gets rather pissy when he doesn’t get what he wants.

It certainly did not look like a ‘lovely’ exchange, no matter how they tried to spin it in the on-court interview.

 

[KittyScherbatsky]

EEEK WELL DONE MR FRITZ!!! I came back from work and tuned in to see his interview, couldn't believe it! So happy, I think Zverev is a nasty piece of work.
