Draper still has to show it in slams

It's a different animal and he hasn't tamed it, Cilic posting some pitiful first serving %

Quite weak even though Cilic has played well

If Draper loses, I think the only Brits left are Norrie and Raducanu.

I miss the era of Tennis of dudes who had powerful flat forehands

- Cilic
- Wawrinka
- Del Potro
- Tsonga
- Berdych

Kartel

 

[Nero Christ]

Given how average Carlos has looked and how much Struff has troubled him in the past…potential for an upset is high

Cilic

Sinner has been clinical per usual.

That running forehand Shelton just hit at 15-all was insane.

I know Mboko lost Baptiste today, but to making the FO 3rd round and Wimbledon 2nd round in your first year on the main tour is

And shout out to Baptiste too. 4th round showing at the FO and now a chance to make the Wimbledon 4th round if she can beat Andreeva next round which isn’t out of the realm of possibility

 

[UpAndComing]

I see Ben Shelton winning multiple Grand Slam titles

He for sure has the game for it, over any current American Mens player

The ass whooping to Rafa at AO is still

Sorry @malbaker86 had Rafa looking completely hopeless out there

Listen bruh i’ve seen Rafa get dismantled by Tsonga in 08, Del Potro in 09, and Fed before in Shanghi…


but what Novak did to Rafa at Doha 2016 and the 2019 AO (Nadal hadn’t dropped a set on the way to the finals) was some of the finest one sided tennis i’ve EVER seen. Top 3 that I saw live was Novak 2016 Doha final vs Nadal, Serena vs Masha in the 07 AO, and Nadal over Fed 2008 RG.

Nobody in the HISTORY of tennis was beating them that day

The Novak walk down at AO 2019 was It was like watching Nadal on Clay walk people down and then Nadal had a taste of playing Novak on his favourite service at his peak

Sinner has been clinical per usual.

Very. Can Novak beat Sinner and then Carlos back to back?! I feel he needs a win over Sinner as it has been a while. Grass is perfect for Novak to play against Sinner.
