When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

I don't think he'll have the gas to actually win this tournament but gently caress it lets ride this till the wheels fall off. Kick all their asses Federer.

if that's the case then it seems like giving Nadal a clear path actually was bad. Interesting

Whatever happens Thursday it's legitimately kind of astounding that a 34/5-year-old Federer has made the semis or better in the last five majors that he played.

At this point I'll happy with any combination of players in the final except Federer/Nadal, because just no. No. I'll even take a Wawrinka/Goffin final or something, as one-sided as that would be (I do actually love Goffin's tennis but there's no chance he'd not be overwhelmed by the occasion).

On that note it's now altogether likely that we'll see a Williams sisters final when Venus is 36, moves like a lawnmower, still doesn't have much to her game besides velocity and hasn't been any good in a decade.

The women's game is a dumpster fire atm, there's a very shallow pool of talent and even most of the people in that pool just aren't very good. Every single slam they put Venus Williams on TV and I'm amazed that she's seeded 10th or whatever because she can barely move around the court anymore.

The main problem with the women is injuries and sudden lack of confidence. Plus you have Sharapova's drug ban, Vika getting knocked up and poor Kvitova getting her dominant hand slashed by a burglar.

The men's game is filled with more old farts than the women's side.

Konta's looking good so far. I think she can win. (Of course she gets broken after I post)

Yeah. Fed vs Rafa would just be sad to watch. I really have zero belief he could beat Nadal in a major final.

They're still playing but Wawrinka's been crap so far to be honest. Fed's doing enough without peaking. Would be a nice reversal of Wimbledon 2015 if he peaked for the final instead of the semi.

You can't sell "Federer" without "reefer". Why? Because he's such a chill dude.
