2018 ATP/WTA thread

[satyanash 14529]

The ATP rankings are complete nuts right now. SEVEN of the top 10 are 30 years of age or older (both del Potro and Cilic turn 30 this month).

An entire generation is nowhere to be found.

[satyanash 14529]

For comparison, here are the ATP rankings from exactly one decade ago (September 2008). NONE of the top 10 players are older than 28.

Look how crazy thin Svitolina is now. 

 

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Yeah that's a bit too thin for my liking. Long and lean yes, but damn she's almost a skeleton there.

Healthier than anorexic Hantuchova, and eating disorder Bartoli.

 

on the men’s side, there were quite a few people wondering whether or not Djokovic has some eating disorder. He’s the skinniest he’s ever been. Can’t argue with those results though

One-&-done for Genie in Hiroshima, she could have easily done that in Quebec.

[HouTex 1878]

Not too skinny IMO. Prefer her way more than a player on the plump side.

I love the patriotism from you spy. Genie's game seems pretty hopeless right about now. Probably why she ran from Canada to Asia hoping no one would take notice.

When do the Bouchard nudes drop?

[spystud13 2371]

How in the flying mother fucking shit does a tourney like this make $? 

 

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Sponsors cover  the prize money I guess. 

[spystud13 2371]

Anisimova lost the Hiroshima final, the daughter of the Bills & Sabres owners, Jessica Pegula, lost Quebec.

Tokyo draw is pretty decent, Naomi is already back.

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Of course she’s playing in her “home country” tournament. She’ll get the rockstar treatment 

[spystud13 2371]

Genie continues her blistering Asian swing after skipping Quebec with another R1 loss in Tokyo to Riske. 

And Maria is done for ‘18. 

[spystud13 2371]

The Tokyo indoor courts have an interesting color combo. They’re renovating the usual complex for the ‘20 Olympics. 

 

 

And Sloane was bounced in straights by Vekic. 

[spystud13 2371]

Garbine out 1 & 2 to Riske. What the fuck is wrong with her? She is talented as fuck, but has the head of a donkey. 

Edited September 19, 2018 by spystud13
Riske, not Vekic, either way. Neither is good

[spystud13 2371]

Naomi rocks Domi, 2 & 1. 

[satyanash 14529]

Nadal just withdrew from the Asian swing (Shanghai and Beijing). He'll lose 1100 points, putting Djokovic in prime position to reach year-end #1.

[spystud13 2371]

Is this thread showing up as new for y’all in your subscription feed? Still shows my post about Garbine as the most recent one to me. Haven’t seen this happen to any other thread. 

[satyanash 14529]

She's still got it

 

[satyanash 14529]

Federer and Djokovic set to play doubles today against Anderson and Sock.

 

[satyanash 14529]

Not a great start for Sock in his singles match

 

[gsoda3 3263]

Is there a best guess for the fed/Novak sock/Anderson start time?

Not that I know of. I do know it's the last match scheduled for tonight.

[satyanash 14529]

 

[Aleemay 304]

Lol Djokovic just pegged Federer. Novak seems uncomfortable on the doubles court.

[spystud13 2371]

 

 

[satyanash 14529]

Boom Set #1 to Fedovic/Djokerer/whatever.

 

[gsoda3 3263]

set 2 to anderson/sock

[satyanash 14529]

argh... Federer double-faults to lose the game in the tiebreak.

Federer struggled w/ his serve, but he may have actually been playing better than Djokovic. Novak really doesn't seem suited to doubles.

[satyanash 14529]

 

[spystud13 2371]

KP finally handles Vekic in 3, now we get this matchup in Tokyo. 

 

[spystud13 2371]

KP v. Naomi in the final, pretty goddamn good matchup for a Premier. 

[satyanash 14529]

 

[spystud13 2371]

Do you really give a shit about this exhibition? This is like the Hopman Cup & that dumbass fail in fucking India.

Federer, Djokovic, and several top players are playing. Naturally people will be following. The atmosphere's great too and the players are playing much harder than in a charity exhibition.

[satyanash 14529]

"That's why we don't play doubles, bro." 😂

[satyanash 14529]

Proving the earlier point - Zverev just saved match point against Isner and beat him in a tiebreak to give World a 5-1 lead. These guys aren't treating it like an exhibition at all.

 

[satyanash 14529]

Federer vs. Kyrgios up next. Clashes with the TCU game unfortunately but it should be a cracker.

 

[satyanash 14529]

[VIDEO] Kyrgios and McEnroe verbally berate the umpire after an overturned call

[satyanash 14529]

Video highlights of the Anderson-Djokovic singles match. Probably the best singles match of the tournament so far.

[satyanash 14529]

Order of play for Day 3. Team World currently has a 7-5 lead, but every match is worth three points today so that can change quickly.

Federer is carrying Zverev's ass. Good match so far

[perfectchaos007 6673]

Hell of a match! Team world won!!

And saved two match points in the process!

Federer vs. Isner in singles up next. World has an 8-7 lead.

 

[satyanash 14529]

Isner's playing out of his mind right now. On the verge of taking out Federer

 

[satyanash 14529]

Three match points saved and we're heading to a tiebreak!

 

[satyanash 14529]

Federer completes the comeback! Team World now needs to win both of the final matches.
