Dimitrovs vapors!

I'm a big fan of anyone who still plays with a huge grip old school style

As in grip-size?

Another day in the books

Replays currently airing on the tennis channel

 

[prostaffer]

I meant his shoes and game. Unlike most he plays with a huge grip size. I've heard he is between 5/8 and 7/8

 

[thadangerousmind]

The Nishikori bandwagon filled up quickly lol.

 

[Sinner]

Stan and Nishikori both down and upset early.

Almagro, Dimitrov, and Ferrer obviously still present a clear threat in Rafa's quarter of the draw.

Damn, retired due to injury!

Didn't realize he used such a huge grip!  Crazy how all the players are using such small handles now (I think Rafa's a 1/4, while Fed & Muzz's are 3/.  I guess it's down to how guys like to whip the ball now.

Serena down a set [emoji]128563[/emoji]

 

[thadangerousmind]

Rough day for Venus and Serena.

 

[Sinner]

Wow, Serena all over the place... can Garbine hold her nerves?

 

[richiemcfly]

We can't even get a Williams 3rd round match

 

[richiemcfly]

Triple match pt

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Well that was unexpected... wonder what she'll blame it on.

 

[Sinner]

Wow... Garbine. 

 

[thadangerousmind]

Great now we have to be subjected to possibly another Sharapova praise fest.

 

[quell]

Well damn

 

[richiemcfly]

Sharapova down 2-4

 

[danger style]

man they're falling like flies out here

 

[firepower]

Maria will be okay, she's normally a slow starter anyway.

Sabine on the other hand...

 

[richiemcfly]

5-4 sharapova now

 

[aepps20]

Serena deserved the loss. Way too sloppy

 

[Sinner]

Sabine on the other hand...

Dropped the 1st 6-1... save it for Wimbledon... 

EDIT ~ And she retired!  Another injury?!  

 

[firepower]

Lol, hopefully.

She took a really nasty fall though, damaged her wrist and had a lengthy time out... hence the heavily one-sided scoreline 

 

[Sinner]

Oh damn, is that what happened?  Wrist injury?

I'm watching the stunning Masha. 

 

[richiemcfly]

She tripped and hurt her wrist

Watching the Townsend match
