Petra Kvitova is going down in flames. I know clay isn't her best surface but still, if Tomic did this we'd all be making 'choo choo' noises at him.

e: and she lost.

Another flameout, another plea: stop doing this poo poo, Petra. You should be wiping the floor with anyone not named Serena. You are too good for this. Ugh.

I was always fascinated by the fact that McEnroe won his last Grand Slam at age 25 (!) in 1984. He then continued to play until 1992, but he only reached one more Grand Slam final the rest of the way. I mean, he's great and all that, but if he was playing nowadays, people would use social media to tell him that he should retire already. I mean, imagine Federer, Nadal or Djokovic taking a 6 month break from playing tennis because they were feeling burned out.

Old John was truly ahead of his time. All he wanted was some sweet platelet-rich plasma, but the technology wasn't there yet. Hence his anger problems.

Whenever I hear John McEnroe commentate or frankly just speak in general he sounds incredibly uninspiring to my ears. Obviously he's got some clout just cause he's John McEnroe but I almost wonder if Raonic will ditch him first. Then again I thought the Becker appointment was destined for failure and look what happened there.

The Becker thing still makes no sense to me.

The worst slam in recent memory for me was whatever US open loving Cilic won.

I always forget he is a Grand Slam winner. Someone will bring it up in an article in the future, and it will surprise me again. Ah, yeah, him.

It's funny to watch these guys who aren't good on clay play like they're on loving hard court
