I guess the top 120 ranked players will be in the draw + 8 wildcards 

[ss13 1832]

I read that somewhere.

Some interesting details. Will be weird to not see any Q on the draw sheets.

Don't need line judges on the two largest courts, but I guess that that is more for the TV audience than for the sake of tennis.

...or maybe they still want to be able to sway the momentum in the biggest matches/ distrust timing...

[satyanash 14280]

Zverev is in fine form today 😁

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

lol Taylor Fritz did something similar last year.

 

Also its odd watching this Adria tour with a fully packed stadium of fans, ball kids, linesmen, and no one is wearing masks

Zverev is in fine form today
 

Lol that looked like a second serve too...

[satyanash 14280]

Wow.

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Maybe having a tournament with a packed house of fans with players hugging and shaking hands at the net and acting like we weren't in a pandemic wasn't a good idea in the first place?

[ss13 1832]

It kinda had to be Grigor though, right? 

[ss13 1832]

Naomi throwing shade. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Naomi deleted it lol

[ss13 1832]

 

Troicki’s wife also has it, she’s due to give birth next month. 

[ss13 1832]

Novak is getting fucking murdered online for his little Adria Tour.

 

And this is happening now, play begins tomorrow at 3. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

UTR tournaments at least have been socially distanced pretty well.

Remember that Djokovic and his wife are anti-vaxxers. Mind you, this will come up again when the coronavirus vaccine drops in the future.

[ss13 1832]

The ball kids in Charleston can’t even touch the balls with gloves on, they have to use a little retrieving canister. 

Sofia is smoking Riske early, 4-0. 

[ss13 1832]

How cute, Novak’s mommy & daddy are mad because everyone’s being mean to their poor little dumbshit. 

Quote

Djokovic's father blamed the cancellation of the tour on Grigor Dimitrov, one of three other players to test positive in the last few days. There is no evidence to suggest Dimitrov spread the virus to others.

"Why did it happen? Because that man probably came sick, who knows from where,'' Srdjan Djokovic told RTL Croatia TV. "He didn't test here, he tested somewhere else. ... I think that's not fair.

"He inflicted damage to both Croatia and to us as a family in Serbia. Nobody is feeling well because of this situation."

——

Djokovic's mother said both her son and his wife, Jelena, are feeling fine but are suffering because of the widespread criticism.

"It is horrible what is being written, but we are used to it,'' Dijana Djokovic told the Belgrade Blic daily newspaper.

Response from Dimitrov's camp:

Hot doubles action going on right now with Anisimova, Collins, Bouchard, and fat Sloane

[ss13 1832]

Puig played her first match since elbow surgery earlier, she was still carrying some extra lbs too. Not Sloane-style though. 

[ss13 1832]

Fernandez rolling up Genie early on TC. 

[ss13 1832]

Genie was 1-4 when I hit send, about to win the set now. 

[ss13 1832]

Vika looks like she picked up the sport a couple years ago, this is real bad. 

Edited June 27, 2020 by ss13
Ha, great minds & shit.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Collins just destroying Azarenka rn

[ss13 1832]

Quite the exaggerated scream by Danielle after she finally closes it out. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

next up: fat sloane v. instagram model 

[satyanash 14280]

Lol

 

[ss13 1832]

Okay, this is the funniest re-open shit I’ve seen yet. Somewhere in Miami... 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Hurcacz hit shot of the year yesterday in Miami 

[ss13 1832]

Yep. Would be cool to be one of the people in that little enclosed patio. 

 

 

[satyanash 14280]

😂😭

 

[satyanash 14280]

Tiafoe tested positive. Looks like he got it while traveling to Atlanta.

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Opelka withdrew too. Not sure if it’s precaution or if he tested positive 

[ss13 1832]

[ss13 1832]

We need a real tourney like this, clay & hard right next to each other. That would be some shit. 

 

Whichever Jensen that is is trying real hard to stay motivated.

I guess if you did really well at the US Open last year there’s not a whole lot of incentive (other than prize money) to play it again as your ranking won’t be effected much either way 

[satyanash 14280]

Lol

I'm guessing that was a second serve and he hit the left side of the frame.

Anyone else read that as "Stetsasonic?"

Did I tell you my Murphy Jensen story?

 

[ss13 1832]

Don't believe so, have at it. 

[ss13 1832]

It actually counts! 

 

 

[ss13 1832]

It is weird to see red clay in August. 

Vekic/Rus on TC, ain’t mad at it. 

[satyanash 14280]

Madrid is cancelled...

 

[ss13 1832]

Officially out.

Not surprised. If the French Open wasn’t literally right after the US Open he would have played both 

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

I had to put this here. It's just a really nice thing during a not so great year for sports. Always thought Fed was a kind man. For all I know, he could be a raging asshole, but this was all right in my book.

 

[ss13 1832]

Potential Serena/Venus & Serena/Sloane matchups in R2/3 of Lexington, but they’ll probably fuck it up someway.
