Wow at Sloane and Ostapenko getting slams before Aga, Woz, Svitolina, Halep and Pliskova.

NOT to mention Garbine leading the new generation with slams. Halep probably is the most upset.

 

[thadangerousmind]

She's got like 6,000 points which is the lowest for a number 1 in a very long time. Hopefully Serena will be back in January to restore order under her reign.

Did anyone count how many times it was said they were friends? Would've been a great drinking game.

$3,700,000.00 lord.

Maddy was like "lemme get some of that"

 

[aepps20]

Anyone think Sloane will win multiple slams? This win will certainly help her confidence.

 

[thadangerousmind]

I mean if this is what life after Serena looks like then she certainly has a chance. She's only 24. I don't think Serena hangs around more than another 2 years now that she's a mom. She wants to surpass Margaret Court out of spite. It's still funny how rarely they mentioned her slam record until Serena got close to passing Steffi.

 

[shogun]

Yeah, someone mentioned last year that margaret court has some controversial views so she rarely gets mentioned on tv. I'm a casual fan but have been watching the slams on tv for years and never heard her name once until last year.

 

[thadangerousmind]

She's a homophobe and a bigot. That's no secret. I wouldn't be shocked if they renamed her arena at the AUS Open after she dies.

Congrats to Sloane! Madkeys. What was you doing baby?

 

[d nice]

I can see Sloane realistically winning at least 10 slams. Without Serena the women's field is extremely watered down and wide open for anyone to come in and
dominate.

Madison Keys swear she's OJ Simpson.I'm not black, I'm not white, I'm Madison

I knew it was only a matter of time before Madison's view would be more well known.

 

[cool...but rude]

There better not be no miraculous comeback lol

 

[thadangerousmind]

That was a dumb comment from Madison but Rafa is looking to be within 3 of Federer again in a few minutes.

 

[rolaholic]

Finish him Rafa...

 

[rolaholic]

Championship point...

 

[cool...but rude]

yeeeeeessssssss

 

[rolaholic]

The Gawd

What a bounce back 2017 after everything,now my dude is almost within striking distance of Fed and he looks back to full fitness.

First time he's looked dominant in a while

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Vamos Rafa.

 

[slighted]

No surprise there -- congrats to Nadal

2018 gonna be interesting

 

[cool...but rude]

confidence is key with Rafa. Its so obvious when he doesnt have it

 

[rolaholic]

Touching seeing Anderson paying homage to Rafa,he wasn't joking when he said he feels like he's watched his whole career...

Fitting that his first major final was against him

 

[ahuangtoronto]

2 for Fed and 2 for Rafa this year. Everytime I think Fed cements his spot as the GOAT, Rafa wins. 2018 is gonna be interesting with all the injured players coming back.

 

[d nice]

2018 gonna be crazy. Nole and Andy will be back. With the way this 4 have dominated over the last decade, it's hard to see anyone else taking Grand Slams off them. A rested Nole gonna be dangerous.
