Seeing Kerber and Muguruza flopping like this only makes me pissed that Serena is clearly unmotivated and content with giving away maiden slams.

I wouldn't say Kerber is flopping. She's actually had success after the AO. Won Stuttgart, Wimby and Cincy F, silver medal at the OG.

Muguruza, on the other hand, after winning RG... yikes

How in the world is Kerber flopping?

She got the silver medal and one week later she plays in the next final, without a break in-between.

If you call this flopping, everyone is flopping

Flopping is losing to someone who's never played 2 weeks of good tennis in her life. Pliskova is a known choke artist.

Serena has a TUFF draw. Big Mak in the first round. YIKES. Hopefully her shoulder is ready to go.

Sinner · Aug 27, 2016

Not overly optimistic on Nole's chances... hasn't played in a while, plus his left wrist might still be an issue.

Muzz the fav.

kanyeezy411 · Aug 27, 2016

Agree. Murray is the fav

I don't know how I feel about this years US Open. I don't know if Serena's shoulder can hold up. She will have days off I suppose vs none in Rio. I also think these upsets against Novak are giving guys hope. The fear factor is gone.

I love the USO. the 1 major I can keep up with without worrying about sleep and scheduling lol. Also, I love watching the night matches. something feels epic about them. even if its a washing. I have to go one time. ONE TIME.

Sinner · Aug 29, 2016

The energy in a night match is pretty cool.

Meanwhile, Sabine is out in the R1... and will drop out of the top 100!

The_Isomotion31 · Aug 29, 2016

^^^^

This Isner Tiafoe match is good.

The_Isomotion31 · Aug 29, 2016

This dude Isner is 6'10" and backs away at net. bruh...

Part of me wishes the sign would've got the Tennis Clown From France.

The_Isomotion31 · Aug 29, 2016

the way it was put back together at the end of the video has me dying.

Muguruza looking good. So was Giorgi today.

thadangerousmind · Aug 30, 2016

Ivanovic and Bouchard out in the first round smh.

The_Isomotion31 · Aug 30, 2016

Didn't get to watch the Ivanovic match. But did watch the Bouchard. SMH indeed.

aepps20 · Aug 30, 2016

Serena looked sharp tonight. Hopefully she can keep it up.

thadangerousmind · Aug 30, 2016

No signs of shoulder issues tonight. I'm sure she's still going through PT on her off days though. Joker isn't 100% either. The 2nd week of this tournament could be nuts.
