Jack Sock lost in the quarter finals in Paris completing his shitty 2018. I think he’ll be outside the top 50 on Monday

Outside the top 100. He'll lose 82 rankings spots now that his Paris points are gone.

[satyanash 15549]

Obscene drop volley

And on that note... 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Sock may have to qualify for the AO

Yikes.

Well, at least he's had a great year in doubles.

Novak takes the first in a breaker over Fed in the Paris semis on TC. 

[spystud13 2371]

Garbine was quite testy this tourney.

Ouch. At least he'll have not much to defend next year. He has too much talent to drop even lower. Even Tomic is going to finish in the top 100 this year after a major slump/meltdown.

Sock was really close to coming to UT if he hadn't turned pro. With all the success he has had, looks like he made the right choice.

[spystud13 2371]

5-all in the third now. 

[spystud13 2371]

Breaker time for the final. 

[spystud13 2371]

Novak wins. 

[satyanash 15549]

Fuck, I wish I had a chance to see Fed-Novak. Everyone is saying it was fantastic.

And of course, another gut wrenching loss for Federer.

[spystud13 2371]

Replay is in the very first game on TC now. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

So I guess tournament win #100 will wait till next year, unless winning the year end championships count

[spystud13 2371]

Khachanov is serving for the match @ 15-0, didn’t finish a gimme sitter, watch Novak come back & win the whole thing now.

[spystud13 2371]

Or not, he served it out after losing that long point. 

[Bodowned 891]

Tennis wins. This younger generation needs to start stepping up in big matches against the old guard. Attacking tennis beat defensive grinding.

[satyanash 15549]

Khachanov just beat four top 10 players in a row. Unreal week for him. This is also Novak's first loss to a player other than Federer, Nadal or Murray in a Masters 1000 final on hard courts.

[satyanash 15549]

 

[satyanash 15549]

Wow. Nadal's season is over.

 

[spystud13 2371]

16-year old Whitney Osuigwe won that Tyler ITF, beat Bencic in the semis.

And this is good. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Yeah they actually showed Whitney’s match on the tennis channel yesterday. I was surprised that little tournament in Tyler TX was actually broadcast nationally. 

[spystud13 2371]

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

No twitter for Zverev I guess.

[spystud13 2371]

Kayla Day v. little Lauren Davis on TC now from Vegas. Funny they had virtually no WTA events this season, now they have all the little ones. 

[spystud13 2371]

Good night, Ana. 

 

 

[spystud13 2371]

Cahill out as Simona’s coach to spend more time with family. 

 

Karolina out of Fed Cup with an injury, Petra out of at least the first singles rubber with an illness. Strycova v. Kenin & Siniakova v. Riske get us started in the morning. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Cancel Fed Cup. Make it a one weekend mass event like Ryder cup and next year’s Davis cup 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

I’m pretty tempted to attend some of the 125k event in Houston next week. You rarely get a Chance to see WTA players in Houston. ATP of course has the clay court championships 

[spystud13 2371]

Player list, Genie bailed as usual. 

https://oraclechallengerseries.com/houston/houston-players/?assoc=wta&type=singles

Bencic, Gibbs, Pegula, Stollar, Zhuk, etc. 

[spystud13 2371]

Our girls battled their asses off, but it’s 2:0 Czechs.

Gotta give their fans credit, they give a shit.

I was actually there today watching qualifying. Pretty neat stuff they have there including a historical stand with the different racquets through the decades. Only thing is it was darn freezing! Saw several top 100 players and former UT players Camillone and Glasspool there.

[Aleemay 304]

Based off of Instagram, it looks like Bianca is in Houston and received a wildcard to the main draw.

[spystud13 2371]

Delete, can’t read.

Belinda v. Gibbsy for the Vegas ITF final today (Sunday) at 4:30 our time. 

Edited November 11, 2018 by spystud13

[perfectchaos007 6780]

So I just saw Allie Kiick on Bumble. Guess she’s in the draw lol 

[spystud13 2371]

Click on the link! 

[spystud13 2371]

Siniakova beat Kenin for the sweep. They usually play the dead doubles rubber just so the girls that traveled get to play, but not this time. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Fed lost to Nishikori in straight sets. Gonna be a challenge to make it out of the group stage for him now 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

This Bencic Gibbs match is impossible to watch given all the shadows on the court 

[spystud13 2371]

Ha, they've got Shiras & Austin doing the final. All week they had some dude I've never heard of, sounded like the Jensen brother but wasn't. 

[satyanash 15549]

Just wasn't Federer's day, sadly. Also likely spells the end of his 2018 season.

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

High of 46 degrees in Houston on Tuesday. That tournament will be cold. Outdoor courts at Rice university

Bianca is on now, down 3-5 in the first.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Bianca dropped the first set in a breaker. Hopefully she can rebound in the 2nd

[satyanash 15549]

Damn. Kevin Anderson just obliterated Nishikori, 6-0 6-1.

Really illustrates how poor Federer's play was.

[spystud13 2371]

Damn good Houston interview with Belinda, not just your normal boring questions & answers.
