Sometime after 9a Wednesday morning, that Roger cat will be taking the court in Doha. 

OoP

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

0 & 2 for Pegula over Pliskova in 53 minutes. More fun with seeding. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Mugu v Swiatek should be fun

Not so much for Iga, 0 & 4.

Thought that this would be over, but just turned it on to see Roger fight breakpoints fro hold serve to go up 4-3 in the 3rd and now Evans holds easier than Roger and Roger duffs a forehand before a great serve-&-volley couple of points takes to game point and Evens drop shot is millimeters wide as Roger wins his serve to go into the commercial break at 5-4.

Roger is in a total dogfight after dropping the second set 3-6.

Wow! 

I would have predicted a 3 set victory for Iga. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Old man rips a backhand winner up the line to break for the 7-5 win. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Dubai QFs... 

Top: 

Krejcikova v. Potapova 
Teichmann v. Gauff 

Bottom: 

Muguruza v. Sabalenka 
Mertens v. Pegula

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Teichmann v Gauff again?! How many times are these 2 going to play each other this year dang 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie/Juvan on TC now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Ha, Brett Haber was trying to read an old quote by Genie that went, "I've had success before..."  Instead it came out, "I've had sex before". 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Hey, she won again. Unstoppable train now in New Balance.

I don’t agree with NB’s politics. Will leave it at that. 

My Ukrainian Argentine lost to a 134 ranked 20 year-old in Guadalajara after trying to lose last night. #sad

[satyanash 14281]

💥

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Shit, I turned on TC to see the third between Garbine/Aryna only to see this old man eat a breadstick! 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Garbine won though. Those two have to be kinda sick of playing each other also. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Dude with all the letters in his name breaks, will serve for it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

40-0, two UEs, then a winner for the match. 

[satyanash 14281]

I think I should just start turning off my TV when Federer gets match point. Fuck.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

As great as Federer’s career has been he sure has lost a ton of matches where he had match point/s

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Coco got worked. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

The blonde Swiss got her revenge against Coco. Nice rivalry budding there

[Napoleon 8605]

It looks like Pegula had to go straight from her doubles match to her singles match... and then ran out of gas in the 3rd set. That sucks.

Look at the times the matches were "Completed".

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Bro, those are the lengths of the matches. Her singles match started at 5:35 am. Doubles was 8a yesterday, the 10th. 

WTA’s site is trash, use FlashScore.

Yep. He had a 1st-round bye, then both Richard Gasquet and Marton Fucsovics withdrew due to injuries in his next two rounds.

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie/McNally at 7. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie whooped that ass.

Yep. And for dessert...

...there is a lovely Schmiedlova v Bouzkova match on now that is very easy to watch.

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie/Cocciaretto on TC now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie Mexican train keeps rolling. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Garbine won Dubai this morning, first title in two years. 

 

Genie/Sorribes Tormo now for the Guadalajara trophy. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie didn’t win. 

In the Monterrey draw next week too.

Genie ran into a Spanish Tortilla de Pow Pow. 

Sara Sorrrrrribes Torrrrmo and her Bond villain eyebrows were unstoppable this week. 

[Napoleon 8605]

American playing in Monterrey, México, but I don't think that there's any relation to the American boxer.
 

 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Li played pretty well during the Aussie swing this year

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Sloane is top seed in Monterrey, just got rolled up in the first by #151 Kucova. 

This tennis shit really needs to stop getting in her way. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

2 & 2, just an absolutely incredible lack of effort. Even the announcers are frustrated with how awful it is. 

And she actually looks skinnier than other recent tourneys, guess she’s worried about swimsuit season.

If they stripped off the protective rankings, she would have to qualify for every tournament she plays. She has won only two or three matches in the last 12 months. 
 

EDIT: Four matches somehow. I think that she won 2 at a Grand Slam, but lost so many first round matches. 
 

She’s 0-3 (maybe 0-4 now) this year and has been rewarded with nearly $73K, because of the Aussie Open. With The French Open & Wimbledon, she’ll make well over $150K this year even if she never wins a match. 

I think that there will be a rankings correction by the US Open.

TC has Tsitsipas/Paire, here’s a stream for Genie.

Zhu serving for the first. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Damn, she went from 5-2 to 5-7. Bad Genie. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

Genie out, that was a LONG two sets. 

[gsoda3 3236]

Sloane has never won a singles title? I didn't know that.

[shadow_operative2.0 15829]

She’s won 6, but we may not see another. Get knocked up by Jozy, could be curtains.
