2019 Wimbledon Championships

[spystud13 2371]

Starts Monday at 5 am on ESPN. 

 

Men's draw

Novak appears to have a pretty cake path, Roger & Rafa get to battle in the bottom. 

 

Women's draw

7 Slam champs in the top quarter, pretty fucking crazy out of 32 names. Big chance for a first time winner like Karolina or Bertens to just survive & advance while everyone else does the dirty work. 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

A few of those slam winners in the top quarter are non-factors like Stosur, Sharapova, and Kutznetsova but it’s still the toughest quarter. 

 

Bold predictions is #2 Osaka loses 2nd round to Iga Swiatek (sp)

Day 1 OoP

Men’s top, ladies’ bottom. 

[Kevin O’Shea 279]

Will be there Friday (weather permitting) anyone waited in the Queue before?

Will be there Friday (weather permitting) anyone waited in the Queue before? 

I have. Like waiting for Franklin .

[spystud13 2371]

First minor upset on the ladies’ side, but in gambling #s only. #10 Sabalenka bounced in straights by the grass court master Rybarikova.

Swiatek out in straights to Golubic. 

 

4-all in the first between Naomi & Putintseva on Centre now. 

[spystud13 2371]

Yulia takes the first in a breaker. 

 

And Miss Madison Brengle sent FO finalist Vondrousova home in straights. 

[spystud13 2371]

Yulia knocks out Naomi in straights. The size difference at net for the handshake was funny. 

[spystud13 2371]

Naomi looks like Serena across from her. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Wow lots of upsets this tournament already on the women’s side but kinda predictable. Osaka should be a much better grass court player than she is

[spystud13 2371]

#6 Zverev & #7 Tsitsipas also headed to the bar. 

 

Venus/Gauff underway now.

Osaka played unbelievably badly. She didn't have any idea how to handle the gentle backhand slices from Yulia, just dumped them into the net everytime.

She’s back to playing like a worse version of Madison Keys

[spystud13 2371]

Gauff took the first. 

[gsoda3 3234]

couldn't watch the 5th set, but i thought tsitsipas was going to pull it out after coming back from down match point to win the 4th.

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Gauff up a break in the second! If Venus loses to a girl nearly a quarter century younger than her she has to contemplate retirement

[spystud13 2371]

The kid to serve for it. 

[spystud13 2371]

Fly home safely, V.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing.

Yulia looks like she’s from MIDDLE EARTH. 

She might even look UP to Dr. Ruth.

[IPoopOnWhoop 93]

Federer drops the opening set to a guy who has never won a match on grass.

[satyanash 14276]

Uh-oh.

 

[IPoopOnWhoop 93]

Things back to normal as Fed is up 4-1 in the 2nd

[spystud13 2371]

Querrey bageled #5 Thiem in the 4th to send him home. 

[spystud13 2371]

Genie battled, but goes down 6-8 in the decider. 

[spystud13 2371]

Garbine out in straights, she is a fucking riddle. 

[spystud13 2371]

Maria was up a set & 5-2, blew that in a breaker, now getting her left wrist taped up. 

[spystud13 2371]

Retires down 0-5, just fucking underhand 4 serves & let your opponent win the match on court. 

[usmc0331horn 934]

How do the men consistently go deep in virtually every major and many of the elite women struggle and/or get beat early? So disappointed in Osaka. Doesn't make any sense.

[spystud13 2371]

Well, the top 3 men are the best ever, so that helps. 

Outside of Serena in years past, none of the other women are dominant, & the parity is real. The mental game also buries plenty of the ladies.

THe top three are also old as shit. It's pathetic that young male tennis players haven't been hungry enough to try and knock them off their pedestals. Kyrgios I'm looking at you.

[spystud13 2371]

^ Did you see his scoreline today? 

7-6(4), 3-6, 7-6(10), 0-6, 6-1 

 

Nick’d.

Were you watching in the early 2010s? Back then it was even worse. The last year or so has seen a few ladies emerge as relatively consistent winners, which is a big improvement from those days.

But no one is as consistent as the Fed/Nadal/Djokovic trio.

[satyanash 14276]

 

[spystud13 2371]

Man, he is going to be pissed when she withdraws. 

[satyanash 14276]

Wawrinka was standing so far back to return Reilly Opelka's serve, he ran into a lineswoman 😂

(And he lost in five sets anyway)

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Yikes! The American women dropped like flies today.

[perfectchaos007 6593]

2 of the US womens seeds fell today (Kenin, Keys), but the 15 year old phenom Gauff moves on to the 3rd round

That was odd.   Was Thiem hurt?

My girl Danielle beat #12 Sevastova too. 

[Bullneck 18976]

Always interesting to put a face with a name you've seen in print for a while.

Little Lauren Davis just fucking breadstick’d defending champ Angie in the 3rd.

Well that was unexpected. USA!! 

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Serena drops the 1st set and Nadal just took set one from Nick. Should be more drama coming 

[LonghornGoodfella 114]

Kyrgios with the ripper to get the early break in the 2nd and saved a couple break points to hold up 3-0 in 2nd. Got a match now

Full range of the Kyrgios experience on display already in this match.  I’m hoping he can stay focused enough to avoid the meltdown, because it’s shaping up to be a great one.  Couple of moments where it looked like he was teetering on the edge of a freakout, but he’s keeping it under control enough so far.

why aren't they showing the atlanta kid?  goff?
