Mirjana Lucic Baroni was beating Carina Witthoeft 6-3, 5-7, 5-0 and held match point to win the final set in a bagel. She lost the point, lost the game and lost the set 8-6.

:agreed: he and Kyrgios are lazy arrogant douchebags and most of us Aussies like to pretend they don't exist, which is unfortunate as they're our top ranked players.

I don't think Hewitt was ever this embarrassing.

Hewitt wasn't popular, but you can bet he would have killed himself on live television before he would have tanked a match to get back home earlier.

The New Yorker has a Kyrgios profile in next week's issue. It's already online.

edit:

Kyrgios always reminds me of a really tall basketball player who doesn't give a poo poo about the game, but plays it anyway because he happens to be good at it. You can hide that sort of thing in a team environment; it gets really jarring when that type of person is alone on the court playing a sport like tennis though.

He and Tomic have both been fined. Tomic has to pay $15000 for faking an injury (and admitting it in the press conference); Medwedew $14500 for his coin shenanigans.

There is little to say about the gruesome knee catastrophe Bethanie Mattek-Sands suffered—and we mean suffered—today. With the NSFW warning, there are video clips floating around. Injuries are, of course, part of all sports. But it’s hard to recall a scenario akin to what we saw today, a player screaming in agony as the opponent went into shock herself, other players cried, fans fainted and an ambulance motored to the side of the court.

edit:

Also, today I've learned that Polona Hercog has a skull tattoo on her arm.

WIMBLEDON, England — A tearful Bethanie Mattek-Sands said on Facebook Live on Saturday that she would undergo surgery to repair a dislocated right kneecap and a ruptured patella tendon that led to a wrenching scene during her second-round Wimbledon match on Thursday. Mattek-Sands, 32, said she planned to fly to New York on Sunday to see doctors in preparation for the surgery.
