The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

[shogun]

I remember the rumor that Roger might've went with Polo if he didn't re-up with Nike a few years back.

 

[shogun]

Also I don't like how Ivanovic and McHale are wearing identical outfits except for the shoes. Weird when that happens.

 

[firepower]

Lol, René Lacoste invented the tennis shirt, they're the first and oldest brand around when it comes to tennis, thought that was fairly common knowledge.

 

[Sinner]

^ Oh you're right!  I was thinking of Fred Perry as that "old tennis brand" but forgot about Lacoste's history!

Shogun ~ That happens.  Most players get 1 kit-style for the tournament (some for the entire season)... it's not like footy where you can get confused by 22 guys on the pitch wearing similarly-colored kits.  I don't think it's that bad in tennis. As long as you pay reasonable attention to the match, you won't have any issues differentiation who's who.

 

[Sinner]

Winning ugly.

But Kiri though... 0 & 1!?  Really?

Keep an eye on Halep... draw opened up for her.

Petra Kvitova lost also, 6-3, 6-0 smh to a wildcard too.

Azarenka vs Ivanovic play each other next round go Vika.

 

[tsamshox]

Ivanovic

 

[mfreshm]

john isner serve is 139 even the forehand is fast. Hes making a couple unforced errors at the net, but interesting match.

 

[shogun]

isner's friends look like guys you'd want to hit with a racquet.

And now Caroline Wozniacki is eliminated hope Serena loses

You mad? Serena is the sole reason US tennis is relevant.

 

[Sinner]

Petra Kvitova lost also, 6-3, 6-0 smh to a wildcard too.

Petra was sick with a virus/fever and was at the medical center the previous night for blood-tests and stuff.  Definitely not 100%.

 

[flashout01]

^blame Stepanek for that

 

[Sinner]

 I don't need to know nothin' about that! 

 

[mpire]

DESTROY HER SERENA!

 

[champcruthik]

Go, Sloane.

 

[andoneflip]

Serena will win

 

[champcruthik]

Unforced errors from Sloane's backhand will cost her this match.

 

[thadangerousmind]

First set to the Queen!
