Since I've learned that Wozniacki is engaged to ex-Warriors All-Star David Lee, I'm rooting for her to win all the long rallies and implode less often.

Stop watching women's tennis ffs. It's horrible

Beats watching the Knicks play basketball.

Petkovic is my favorite WTA player, and I always thought she would be the one to break through and win something big, not Kerber. But that ship has sailed. It sucks.

Jelena Dokic has written a book. It won't be a fun read.

quote:

Dokic recounts her journey in exhaustive detail in “Unbreakable,” a book written with Jessica Halloran, an Australian journalist, and set to be released in paperback in the United States on Feb. 1. It’s a chilling account of the relentless physical, verbal and emotional abuse Dokic says she suffered from her father as she ascended the ranks of junior and professional tennis, peaking at No. 4 in the WTA rankings in 2002.

First published by Penguin Random House Australia in November, the book opens with the end of Dokic’s deepest Grand Slam run, to the Wimbledon semifinals in 2000 when she was just 17. She writes that her father, Damir Dokic, banished her from returning to the family’s hotel room after the semifinal loss, calling her pathetic, an embarrassment and a “hopeless cow.” She then hid out on a couch in the Wimbledon players’ lounge until 11 p.m., when a cleaning woman found her.

Come for the stupid name, stay for the racist tweets! Washington Post headline:

Meet America’s new tennis sensation, Tennys Sandgren. He should never have tweeted.

Edit:

Nadal needs to stop going sleeveless. It does not help his case for being powered by sunshine, love, and the blood of bulls slaughtered in arenas all over beautiful Spain. Natural endurance, mates.

Happy for Kerber, I hope she wins the whole thing. Time for the German media machine to love her again.

That pre tournament bet I put on Wozniacki paid off :toot:

I was thinking if Sloane Stephens can win a slam then why not someone who can do everything better than her?

I always forget that Stephens won a Slam, even though it happened, like, last month. What's her record since the US Open? 0-10? 0-20?

edit:

Thoroughly enjoyed the final. Good for Wozniacki to finally win one of the big trophies.

It was maddening watching Sascha Zverev, the fourth seed, look so mirthless and flustered as he capitulated 6-0 in the fifth set of his third round match. For those scoring at home, Zverev has never beaten a top 50 player in a best-of-five match.

He's really young, but still.
