Was talking to a friend and he says "Guess we can stop comparing her to Kournikova now that she's made it to a GS finals." lol.


I hope its a 3 setter.

Feel like that injury robbed us of what could've been a potentially epic semi.

Genie is definitely the truth though.. but I'll be rooting for Petra on Sat... can't let these young upstarts get too big for their boots just yet lol.

Rooting for Novak & Boris to take the men's.

She doesn't even look half as good as Ana does.

The comparison should have stopped the minute she won her first tournament.

LMAO is Sloane the black Kournikova?

Genie lights my darkness after Murray loss. I think she goes on to win now.

WC quarters, Wimby Finals, UFC 175... many a beer shall be ingurgitated... the diet can start again Monday

^ And the British GP, fool!

Zero interest in the ladies final. The gents semis look really good though. Need to get some sleep so I can catch both of them. Really want to see Fed join the 18 GS club.

Oh yeah, that as well

Sharapova looks like Anna Wintour in Grigor's box.

 

[firepower]

3 double faults in a row from Grigor... don't think I've ever seen that before from a pro!

Nole gets the early break in the 4th.

 

[richiemcfly]

Fed takes the 1st set

 

[Sinner]

Lots of this today...

And the obligatory Masha shot for you Masha-fans out there. 

Interestingly, Grigor and Nole both changed shoes... a lot.  Probably wearing out the outsoles way too fast cuz of how chewed-up the court was.  

Grigor, with 4-5 pairs of Vapor 9.5's... actually switched to a pair of Lunar Ballistecs!

 

[gunna get it]

Vicky Duval has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma

 

[Sinner]

Horrible news.  Seems like a few tennis players have had to deal with cancer/illness this year.

[Sinner]

Yes, I saw that too... 

 

[richiemcfly]

I didn't realize he had a contract with an academy in Beijing

:x considering how much he has helped her mentally

 

[richiemcfly]

straight sets for Fed

 

[The_Isomotion31]

This is it Federer. No one better to get 18 from than Novack.

 

[britkicks]

You have a feeling this is last chance for Fed

 

[britkicks]

Want a lick

Of my ice cream obviously.

Ana has better things to do than win GS

 

[thadangerousmind]

Nah I'll take Federer on grass next year if he stays healthy.

Fed's best chance on sunday
