2019 ATP/WTA thread

Is it bad that I had a tough time telling apart Zverev and Tsitsipas on the stream?

 

[spystud13 2371]

Naomi kicked her most recent coach to the curb, promptly reels off 10 straight matches & back-to-back Asian titles. Beat Barty in 3 to win Beijing. 

[satyanash 14562]

Sasha's rediscovered his form in Shanghai... against Federer 

😥

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Next Gen continues to do well in non-slam events. In addition to Zverev beating Fed, Tsitsipas defeated Djokovic

Also, Coco Gauff got at top 10 win today over Kiki Bertens. Coco will make her debut in the WTA top 100 rankings on Monday. Not bad for a 15 year old

[spystud13 2371]

Beat Petko 4 & 4 to make the final, likely against Alexandrova (killing Jelena now). 

[spystud13 2371]

Ship it. 

Quote

American teenager Coco Gauff won her first WTA tour title by beating Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 on Sunday to lift the Linz Open trophy.

Gauff, 15, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon and third round at the US Open, bounced back after losing a one-sided second set to win the decider comfortably.

The American had earlier called Linz "my little lucky place" and its charm held for the teenager through the final despite a late wobble; after racing to a 5-0 lead in the third set, Gauff dropped two games to Ostapenko before closing out the match.

Gauff entered the tournament as a lucky loser, replacing injured sixth seed Maria Sakkari, having initially failed to make the main draw after suffering a straight-sets defeat to Germany's Tamara Korpatsch in qualifying.

Her second-round win against Kateryna Kozlova earlier in the week secured her a place in the top 100 of the women's rankings and a first WTA tour quarterfinal, from which the teenager emerged victorious after seeing off top seed and world No. 8 Kiki Bertens in straight sets.

Gauff's first tour semifinal led to her first final thanks to a win over Andrea Petkovic of Germany, again in straight sets.

Two smoking hot young ladies playing now, Julia v. Sorana. 

 

 

[spystud13 2371]

Andy/Stan in the Antwerp final tomorrow. What year is this?! 

[spystud13 2371]

Article & vid of Andy’s win. Helluva comeback from damn near forced retirement.

Quite the color combo on the WTA Finals court in Shenzhen. 

 

 

[satyanash 14562]

Federer wins Basel! Title #10

 

[satyanash 14562]

😶

 

[spystud13 2371]

^ And he withdrew today. 

[spystud13 2371]

Ash Barty just won the largest check in the history of tennis, men or women. That’s funny.

[spystud13 2371]

CiCi is back in Houston after 19 months. 

http://baseline.tennis.com/article/85824/cici-bellis-houston-comeback-wrist-elbow-injury

 

Some pretty good WCs. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Ahh Hopefully I can make it out there this year. Danielle Collins has to be the #1 seed in that field.

[spystud13 2371]

Genie/Fanny Stollar v. Minella/Govortsova from Nevada on TC now. Extremely friendly match on the eyes. 

[spystud13 2371]

Kiki beat Barty in a 3rd set breaker to give France the 2:1 Fed Cup lead. Garcia v. Tomljanovic is scheduled next, but either could be replaced after getting murdered yesterday. Live on TC now. 

[spystud13 2371]

Parmentier replaces Garcia, Stosur stays on the bench. We shall see. 

[spystud13 2371]

Tomljanovic forces the deciding doubles rubber. Should be Garcia/Mladenovic v. Barty/Stosur. Let’s ride. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Aight I guess I'll stay up for the fed cup championship match

[spystud13 2371]

Kiki fucking dominated that match. 

[spystud13 2371]

And apparently CiCi’s Houston WC was only for the qualies, she plays later today to make the MD. 

Genie is shockingly in though (for now).

[Bodowned 763]

Berrettini with an absolutely pathetic performance against Djokovic today. 

[satyanash 14562]

Federer's on the struggle bus against Thiem, not looking good...

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Cici qualified for Houston. Weather is going to suck this week they may have to move some matches indoors like last year

[spystud13 2371]

CiCi & Genie open back-to-back on Court 1 at 10a. 

https://oraclechallengerseries.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Combined-ATP-WTA-Monday.pdf

 

[spystud13 2371]

They both won, it’s a festivus miracle. 

[satyanash 14562]

Roaring start for Zverev against Nadal

 

[satyanash 14562]

Federer wins! Much-needed victory.

 

[spystud13 2371]

Pocket Rocket is hanging ‘em up. Helluva career for what she had to work with. 

 

 

[spystud13 2371]

40 degree weather can’t hold our girls, CiCi & Genie both advance. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

It's a shame the tournament doesn't have any evening matches. I was thinking about going tomorrow after work, it seems like play ends around 7pm. By the time I get there after work I won't get to watch much tennis

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Weather was cold and dreary today and there were not one but two matches today that were double bagels on the women’s side. Some ladies just wither in the cold weather 

[spystud13 2371]

#1 Danielle got beat too. 

[spystud13 2371]

CiCi up first on 1 against Flipkens.

Genie kicked to third on 3 against equally hit Minella.

[satyanash 14562]

First set to Federer against Djokovic!

 

[satyanash 14562]

Damn. Two BPs for Federer to open the second and he squandered them both.

[satyanash 14562]

DOWN GOES DJOKOVIC!!! Federer moves on to the semifinals, and Novak will no longer be No. 1 after the tournament. 

 

[spystud13 2371]

All Houston play canceled today, that’s gonna be fun to fix. 

[spystud13 2371]

That’s a whole lotta ‘or’ matches. 

 

 

[satyanash 14562]

Nadal-Tsitsipas game is a thriller, for those curious. Entering the third set on serve.

 

[spystud13 2371]

CiCi out in straights, Genie quit after 3 games. 

[satyanash 14562]

Oof. Not looking good for Federer...

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

The new Davis Cup started today 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

USA lost to Canada and are playing Italy right now. It's past 3:30am local time. Maybe cramming the entire Davis cup into one week was asking too much.

[satyanash 14562]

👀

 

[spystud13 2371]

RIP to some incredible legs. Crazy that she’s only 29. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Wonder if she’s pregnant
