2 Slams, Wimbledon finalist, Silver medal, #1 ranking... what a year it's been.

 

[thadangerousmind]

2 slams, #1 and a silver medal in the same year I guess I can finally admit that Kerber is good.

 

[aepps20]

Excellent year from Kerber. It will be interesting to see how she deals with the pressure.

Venus is gonna wash her in 2017.

Someone needs to check Pliskova's pulse...

She doesn't to have any emotion whatsoever in either direction, I think she might be an android




Does it annoy anyone else the way players always kiss up to the crowd?

 

[shogun]

I like Pliskova's coldness. I was expecting her to have some tears but it looked like she was thinking she needed a drink.

Players always gotta suck up to the crowds a little bit.

That TSN blonde reporter interviewing Angie was fine AF.

Haha, she's always been like that... since the first time I saw the twins play 2 years ago, there were (-_-) all the time!  

As for the players "kiss up to the crowd"... you mean like thanking the crowd for supporting us and whatnot?  All the players say that nowadays... it's become the standard operating procedure... if you don't do it, the Internetz will tear you apart!  It is what it is.

Anyway.

Wawa really lost his 4-1 lead

Nole will win if he just holds serve

 

[Sinner]

Stanislas on fire!

Stanislas on fire! 

If only he could keep serve

 

[thadangerousmind]

Stan the Man about to get his 3rd slam?

 

[Sinner]

If only he could keep serve

Stan has a great serve... it's bailed him out many times down break-point!

At the same time, Nole's one of the best returners in history... 

Stan 1 set away... and a Wimbledon away from the career slam! 

 

[slighted]

Wawa should just keep flatlining these BH winners to win

 

[Sinner]

Not looking good for Nole!  

Looks like Stan is not backing down! 

 

[shogun]

Stan's girl looking young. Isn't she only 20-21?

 

[Sinner]

Yep, Donna Vekic... recently turned 20.

 

[Sinner]

Nole's legs are gone... crazy to see!

 

[danger style]

Not the left toe!

 

[thadangerousmind]

Lol Stan is hot. Taking hella shots right beside Joker.

 

[slighted]

This medical timeout is allowed at any time, right?

 

[Sinner]

If people are gonna be upset, be upset at the ump for allowing the MTO.  

Dodgy upclose shot of his toe was unnecessary. 

 

[slighted]

Stan was throwing the ump mad shade

 

[shogun]

Blisters are not fun.

If it's a legitimate injury, yes... for cramping, no.

It's up to the ump to decide if he/she will allow it.

In this situation, I could see the blister, while the comms said that they saw blood, so I'll give him the benefit of a doubt.

Nah, it was a toenail injury
