The real Tennis thread.

Switching from an enjoyable Tour stage to Wimbledon now - looks like Swiatek v. Bencic are on the menu. (So far anyway, I'm not sure which match ABC will switch to next. Split screens are always nice I must say.)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Svitolina v. Azarenka is the other big match being shown on ABC right now, and then later Djoko v. Hurkacz. Could be an interesting day.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Svitolina and Swiatek advanced (while I was running some errands) - yes! At least they're not moaning like Azarenka. I really hate all the moaning with each shot...

 

[Rollthedice]

Man, Hurkacz has a ton of aces but I suspect that's the only thing he is good at. Meanwhile a very average Djokovic spends another day at the office, second set looks to be going to another tie-break where Hurkacz will fail miserably.

Djoko looks tranquilo

Hurkacz actually boring DJokovic to death here.

It was too boring for the umpire as well.

What's worse he must come back tomorrow for another set.

Why do Wimbledon bother holding a night session if they have a *** curfew

Yeah this is such crap. It may favor some players who need a break, but then you don't want to break the concentration and flow of the match itself...

Strawberries with cream anyone?

 

[Rollthedice]

Hurkacz is back with a vengeance. Until he will fade away.

Please keep me posted because I don't get regular ESPN which the Djoko match is on, I only get ESPN+ which is streaming the Tsitsipas match. Looks like the latter is in the first set...

Hurkacz did the unthinkable. Just won a set. Djoko still not quite in the game. The Polish dude looks like an accountant who is about to give you some bad news.

 

[Rollthedice]

The accountant still cashing in big time on his serve. Djokovic has no response. And viceversa.

 

[Rollthedice]

Meanwhile Eubanks and Tsiptsirpas are at each others throat eye to eye at the net. And Eubanks has a break and serves for 2-2 sets.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Clearly I'm confused because the Tsitsipas match is actually in the 4th set...

I watched an interview with Eubanks the other day, guy's got a lot of charisma. If he advances I won't be mad.

 

[Rollthedice]

31st ace by Hurkacz.

Now they start the decisive set.

 

[Rollthedice]

And Djokovic got his break. 4-3. Could be over now.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just like Cav, Hurkacz won't reach no. 35.

 

[Rollthedice]

Apparently Djokovic hasn't lost a match on Central Ground since 10 years...

 

[Rollthedice]

Eubanks starts with a break the decisive set.

 

[Rollthedice]

And it's over. Djokovic vs. Rubliov next.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yes, Eubanks advances! Fantastic and entertaining match that was.

Like the man. First time I saw him, guts, attacks like Nibali even if he doesn't have the legs. A breath of fresh air among all these accountants...
