The Tennis Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Watson gone as is Stan.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He won nine points on Tsonga's serve. One of them was a double fault.

He doesn't give a shit. He is an absolute wanker. Somehow clings to a top 100 ranking, sneaks into Slams whereupon he has won one match in the main draw in the last 10 attempts. Wasting everyone's time.

£45k for less than an hours work.

He's been fined £45k for not trying. Good.

 

[lemonjelly]

Not meeting the required professional standard means his full fee gone.
That ought to sting, being publicly told he didn't meet the required professional standard. Not that he'll care though.

 

[BGreenWolf]

He doesn't have any defense at all- it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he couldn't be arsed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kerber out to the world number 95...

Kyrgios already being a prick, moaning at the umpire, swearing at the line judges.

 

[BillyDee]

Slovenian qualifier Kaja Juvan takes first set off Serena.
Kyrgios is indeed a prick.

 

[BGreenWolf]

God, he's such a twat.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, his behaviour isn't getting any better.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

His behaviour is atrocious.

 

[Sniffer]

How does Becker keep getting invited back to commentate each year? He's appalling at it, and that's before you question why we're paying a man of questionable character out of licence fees.

 

[Sniffer]

His behaviour is atrocious.

It is but I thought that he had a valid point with regards to the serve review.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Definitely but all the other crap is beyond the pale

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

The Times is reporting that Kyrgios spent the evening before his match against Nadal in a local pub.

I always thought of tennis players being some of the most focused sportsman on the planet, these two aussies are just bizarre. Clearly they have some talent but they bum around with an attitude they will regret when their body starts to fade

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Gauff wins an another game, this time coming back from the brink to win it.

15 years old, I wish I had a fraction of her concentration at that each, dammit it I'd be happy with some now

 

[Tony Towner]

I think we all want her to win it don't we?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No. I want Konta to win it.

 

[Tony Towner]

Ok, not going down that avenue this evening

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

I think we all want her to win it don't we?

It would be amazing for her to, I fear it maybe a step to far at the moment.

It's odd as I haven't really watched Wimbledon (or any tennis) for a good few years, but just got into following her by chance.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ok, not going down that avenue this evening

What avenue? I’m supporting the Brit.

 

[darlowolf64]

Yep, me too... Would be good for Konta to win for British womens tennis
