I will miss Murray. I wish he had won one of those AO finals.  And during the offseason Aga Radwanska retired as well because of a persistent foot injury so that's now two of my favorites gone.

Sodium Chloride posted:Andy I totally forgot about that. Every major uses a different system now. I guess the French being the only one to not have a tiebreak makes it slightly better, and yet it's still the worst one. Crowd going wild every time Andy wins a point is nice.

This Federer/Tsitsipas match is real good. A lot of resilience on both sides. Also happy that Kvitova is into the quarterfinals. I haven't been able to see enough of her this tournament to know if this is proper God Mode Petra or not, but I'm allowing myself to be hopeful. Actually whoever comes out of the Kvitova/Barty match winning the whole thing would be great in general.

Nah, I think the umpire made the right decision cause the linesman's call came exactly as Nishikori's racket connected with the ball, not before. It didn't affect his play at all and Carreno Busta was miles away. The umpire did make a mistake in allowing him to challenge, though, since there was no reason to go to hawkeye if Kei was getting the point either way.

I like the lineup for the men's semifinals. On paper any combination could make a good final but probably for the best if it's either Nadal/Djokovic or Pouille/Tsitsipas just cause an ATG vs a new finalist is the most likely combo to be a dud. And I really hope Petra wins the whole thing on the women's side.

Petra's playing a lot better in this second set than in the first. I guess the roof getting closed might have helped cause she sometimes struggles in the heat.

I really want Petra to win and I'm nervous about it despite her excellent record in finals.  Osaka's second serve looks like a weakness so far.

Osaka is so resilient, and this isn't Petra's best sadly. If she has to lose this I'm at least glad it's to someone so likeable.

Well goddamn. I did not expect such a meltdown from Osaka. She's been nerveless until now. edit: Petra please engage god mode in the third.

Osaka was better and deserved the win, and in general continues to impress. Petra went deep in a major again and that's awesome. I'm bummed a little but oh well.
