I think that Alcaraz was down 2-5 to Tsitsipas before taking the first set 7-5. 

Carlitos is up a break serving at 3-3 in the 2nd set, and toying with Stefanitos.

Paula retires down 1-4 to Pegula, whatever was wrong the other night still is.

And shortly afterwards, Sinner retires down 1-4 to Cerundolo. Wtf that Miami heat/humidity is doing a number on these athletes

Paula Badosa- “Viral Illness”

Jannick Sinner- Blisters

Coco Gauff & Cary McNally into the semifinals.

Coco is the #10 ranked doubles player in the world right now. (She won Doha 1000 with Jessica Pegula last month.)

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Iga takes the first over Petra at 3. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Hurkacz beat Medvedev, Naomi v. Belinda next. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Naomi won in 3, Iga/Pegula now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Clearly I can't read, Alcaraz/some dude I've never heard of first.

Alright, now they are. 

 

Alcaraz won the last one. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

2,5 for Swiatek. She dictates play better than anyone on tour right now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

After all the goofy shit, we finally get the Naomi/Iga final.

Miomir Kecmanović

Horrible acne scarring on his cheeks, an excellent tennis game these days  

Beat Korda in round of 32.

Beat Fritz in the round of 16.

Lost to Álvaraz in a 3rd set tie-breaker (5).

He will possibly be seeded at the French Open. His Live Ranking is 48. 

He picked up a new coach, Argentine David Nalbandia🇦🇷,…

…and has had a hell of a year. It took an amazing effort by Álvaraz to beat him.

I don’t know how to pronounce the guy’s name, but we will be seeing his name a lot this year.

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Yeah, apparently it was a badass match. I heard Nalbandian mentioned early by one of the commentators, made me do a double take to see who was playing. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Goddamn, Iga. 

[Bodowned 763]

Absolute shame we don’t get to see Barty and Iga battle for the biggest titles for the next 2-3 years…

[Napoleon 8700]

Some things that you can say for Osaka:

-she handled her fragile emotions in this tournament.

-she’s lost 10 to 15 pounds since the the end of last year/start of this year.
 

Some things that you can say for Iga…

-she has an entertaining variety of skills.

-she’s roofless!

Haven’t watched the Men’s Final yet, but the word on the street is that Carlos Álcaraz is pretty good.

🎾🎾 👀

Charleston clay starts tomorrow at 10a with Konjuh v. the 16-year old sister.

That would be 9a for us.

Linda won in 3. 

Amanda v. Vickery now. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Sloane eating a 3rd set bagel from Zheng lmao

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Always something with CoCo. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

More rain forecast next two days. this could get ugly. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

 

Always liked him. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Try, try again.

One of the more talented players of his generation, but never did deliver the biggest moment.  He was one of the few who could beat prime Fed, Nadal, or Djoker.

 

Any other era he probably wins a slam or two.

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Aryna/Amanda first on at 10a. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Amanda wins in 3. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

7 MPs, Linette finally beats Leylah. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Cici Bellis working the tennis channel desk in Charleston. Good to see her staying involved in the tennis world even though she retired at 22 y/o

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Hot Paula barely survived the second set breaker, then delivers a quick breadstick to advance. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Can’t really play a point worse than this by Liu, but Paula racing to the mark is fun. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Alexandrova just kicked the shit out of Karolina. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

6 sets for Linette today, still kicking. Pretty impressive on clay for a relative nobody. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

 

 

[Napoleon 8700]

Russians should not be allowed to play. “Representation is everything.”… and whether there is a flag and/or a RUS missing from its place next to a player’s name, showing them win in a sporting event is good propaganda for a narcissistic midget troll. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Belinda forces 3 against hot Paula in the red Nike battle. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Bencic takes out hot Badosa in 3. Fucking hell 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

1 & 2 for Amanda over CoCo V.

So now Bencic plays a Ruskie for a spot in the finals…

Come on meteor!! You know what to do.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Bencic v. Jabeur in the finals tomorrow. 
Anisimova had her chances but she crumbled in the end. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

Won the first set at 2, broke to 4-3 in the decider, then stopped playing. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I think if Anisimova dropped 5 pounds she could have gotten to some of those Jabeur drop shots

You leave her body alone!!

…while I’m dreaming about it!

IN THE FINAL: I am hoping that we are seeing another classic Bencic meltdown. 

The “Swiss” Bench won the first set 6-1, but after breaking to open to start the second set, she has lost the next two games and she starting to look at her support team with that classic Whining Bench Face that we all know and hate.

Good to see a mother still win on Tour. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16030]

And Belinda wins the gray court title.
