New York Times Magazine with a couple of tennis profiles: Monfils: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/magazine/usopen-monfils-miraculous-shots.html Federer: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/magazine/usopen-federer-nadal-backhand-wonder-year.html Also, here's a somewhat gruesome picture of Petra Kvitova's injured hand, right after the knife attack and now, all healed up. It's pretty amazing that she's back out there playing tennis at a high level.  Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Aug 26, 2017 |

Tennys Sandgren Sue your parents, dude. edit: quote:Halep was one of eight players who had a chance to claim the WTA World No. 1 ranking at the end of the U.S. Open, as she entered the tournament just five points behind current World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova. The last No. 2 women's seed to lose in the first round of the U.S. Open was Andrea Jaeger in 1981. Sharapova moves into the second round to face Hungary's Timea Babos. One of eight. Oh my.

Roger is cool. He wanted to practice closer to his hotel. https://twitter.com/jon_wertheim/st...al-park-us-open ColdBlooded posted:gently caress off Shapovalov What's wrong with the guy? I only know he's 18 and just beat Tsonga. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Aug 31, 2017 |

Roger will retire after this tournament, so he takes it all in and plays as many sets as possible. edit: I love these WTA "upsets": quote:Another seeded player will not be continuing here. Jennifer Brady upset No. 23-seeded Barbora Strycova in dominant fashion on the Grandstand. That's more like a massacre. Jack's Flow fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Sep 1, 2017 |

Sodium Chloride posted:Fognini has been suspended for saying horrible sexist things in Italian. loving idiot. This could end up costing him a lot more than just his current $24,000 fine: quote:Fognini’s suspension is pending investigation by the Grand Slam Board as to whether he committed a “Major Offense,” for which the worst-case outcome is that the Italian is fined up to $250,000 and permanently suspended from further participation in Grand Slam Tournaments, per the Grand Slam rule book.

Sodium Chloride posted:Pablo Carreno Busta is the highest seed in the bottom draw Probably what every slam would look like if two or three of the big 4 would retire tomorrow. WTA style upset chaos.
