Running tennis thread 2021

Surprisingly only one "ova" in the quarterfinals.
Hsieh vs. Osaka is the match of the tournament so far, for me.

 

I think the match of the women's tournament came in the last round -- Osaka vs. Muguruza. Still say the winner of that match -- Osaka -- wins the tournament.

I think Brady has a damn good shot to be the other finalist.

 

All the "ovs" and "evs" are in the men's draw -- five of the eight quarterfinalists.

And three of them are actually from Russia!

 

Should have been more. Khachanov lost in three tie-breaks to a player who then gave Tsitsipas a walkover, and Zverev is fake German (he has Russian parents).

Just now logging off from work, so I'm off to see The Wizard (already down a break, ugh).

 

Crazy stat - this is only Osaka's 4th GS qf. She's won the other three.

 

Well, that was pathetic. Wish I could stay awake for the 3 a.m. show.

 

Osaka way way too strong

 

I'm telling you -- she's your champion.

 

God, I love John McEnroe.

 

Serena v Osaka again; what the majors are all about.

 

In the Players-Diving-Headfirst-Into-Irrelevence Department, Eugenie Bouchard and Mason Rudolph are an item.
