And Vika promptly joins her in the QFs.

Brady has been playing really well lately.

Both physically AND mentally. She’s been dominant. (Watched most of the Lexington tournament and some of the “Cincinnati in NY” tourney.)

Would be psyched to see Brady win it all, because today Putintseva got her ass handed to her, and when Putintseva is involved, that’s a meaty task.

Puti got that booty

The way Brady hits her forehand it's more like the guys than any other woman on the tour. I hope takes it too.

Naomi v. Rogers on ESPN now.

That may be the best ass I’ve sever seen

Didn’t see it, but saw the score. 

Shelby has been playing very well, but apparently not well enough. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

It was pretty routine for Naomi, only broken once.

I really wish that one of Brady/Naomi was playing Serena in the semis so that Naomi v Brady could be the final. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

Damn, Serena/Pironkova is at 11 am tomorrow, Vika/Mertens at 6. That’s very unlike ESPN. 

[Bullneck 19204]

P. Carreno Busta and D. Shapovalov are hammering laser beams at each other.

[Bullneck 19204]

Imagine this match if Ashe was full.  With apologies to that Mason guy from ISU, it would be the definition of "lit."

[satyanash 14611]

Shapovalov and PCB are playing a hell of a game right now.

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

PCB loudly takes the third. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

And then promptly gets fucking bagel’d in the fourth. 

[satyanash 14611]

This game is such a breath of fresh air after watching Coric and Zverev stumble through their match. Transfixing stuff.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Busta wins it. Fun match

And the Men's Canadian Open has officially come to an end.


If Shapovalov had pulled it off, then 3 out of the 4 Semifinalists would be sons of Russian parents. But that will have to wait.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Pirinkova currently showing Serena that it’s important to be fit and being a mom is no excuse 

[satyanash 14611]

Serena's a woman on a mission this week.

Serena's serve has risen to Men's Tennis levels.

I can't stand her, but her serve can be ferocious.

That’s literally the ONE benefit of being a heavier tennis player. You can create more power and speed on your serve. Now more than ever Serena is reliant on her serve to get her through matches 

[Halohal 502]

Here we go... 1st meeting H2H. Watch

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

One-way traffic that set. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Alright let me tune into this Vika v. Mertens match I'm sure it's just getting star.......oh its over

 

[ConferenceRoom 6145]

Carb overload.

Someone wanted to finish up so that she could tuck her boy in tonight. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Serena and Vika play TOMORROW. Vika will certainly be more fresh after playing just 13 games while Serena played a 3 setter

Regardless of rest, I have a very hard time seeing Azarenka beating Serena.

With Serena it is now:

How well can you return a rocket serve?

WONDERING...

What is the record for fewest games played in a (2nd) Wednesday Night doubleheader session?

Between Azarenka & Thiem, this night has whizzed by. 

[Napoleon 8698]

Apparently De Minaur was only mostly dead. He held and then broke back...

And then has held after being down 0-40.

De Minaur's ceiling is Michael Chang. He has little power but fantastic wheels. He really needs to lose the Hitler stache though.

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

Naomi/Brady on ESPN now. 

[ConferenceRoom 6145]

Mom talk not going away. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

Good first set, not a great breaker. 

 

Tennis, Stars, NFL, remote’s gonna get a workout. 

[Napoleon 8698]

Woman should be paid the same as the men at all events except for Best 3 out of 5 tournaments. The money predominantly comes from advertising and if men’s matches average 3.75 sets and women’s matches average ~2.50 (my guess at the moment), so men are working much more for the same money. 

I wish that this was the final. 

[ajax 2620]

I wouldn't consider breaking off into their own tour as"protest". All they did was prove that they have a quality product that people want to watch.

Jennifer Brady is going to win a major by the end of 2022. I don’t know if it will be on Saturday, later this month, next year...???

 I think that Naomi is the only player who can beat her anymore, unless she beats herself. She is just so good. But Naomi is just a little better. 

[ajax 2620]

C'mon Jen!

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

Would not have bet on a decider after that first breaker. 

[ajax 2620]

Someone tell Brady that Osaka is going wide when serving on the deuce. Every time.

Edited September 11, 2020 by ajax

[Napoleon 8698]

That "OUT" call to break Jen totally broke Jen.

I have always wanted machines to call things in Tennis & Baseball.

People work too hard for an entire lifetime to lose because of a. fat older human* making a fucking mistake, especially when they don't even need to be there.

*I'm beginning to resemble this description.

[Napoleon 8698]

Azarenka serving like rat-dong-turd.

[shadow_operative2.0 16021]

Don’t fucking do this, Vika. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Lol Microphones caught Azarenka yelling "fucking shit!"

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Azarenka bread sticked in set 1 wtf

[perfectchaos007 6677]

You can't run out the shot clock in tennis. Azarenka is turning this around
