Damn I had to step away but Dimitrov got hurt smh

Sucks it happens when you’re playing the match of your life

Also there only 2 other guys who can replicate the game he brought today against Sinner and they’re both still in Wimby

 

[good pups]

I literally just step away and come back to watch and I see Sinner signing autographs

 

[charknicks]

Is that the first time a player was up 2 sets and lost due to injury?

 

[malbaker86]

Sinner was on the ropes. He will walk Shelton and then hopefully Novak takes him out but with less time on court now Sinner will still be a tough task for anyone

If i’m Sheldon, just go bombs away against Sinner. He can’t “out tennis” him and expect to win.

I literally just step away and come back to watch and I see Sinner signing autographs then I see replays of Dimitrov hurting his shoulder on a serve and retiring from the match

@Regular_P was right on the money with his analysis of Dmitrov injuring himself about to win. Just faced a different player

It’s just a brutal way to lose, but I can’t say I’m surprised it ended like it did. All the talent in the world, but injuries have gotten the better of him.

You have players like a Kyrgyzstan and Bublik that have great talent as well, but haven’t gotten it done for different reasons. Then you have Dmitrov who works hard and clearly wants to win, but the injuries have kept popping up. Sucks to see.

So true. It sucks because he's a classic Grass court player. Great serve, great at net, great movement. On his best day, he can literally beat anybody in the Top 10. But his body just can't hold up

You meant Kyrgios right?

You meant Kyrgios right?

I didn’t even notice the autocorrect.


Edit: I’m going to keep his name like that and refer to him as that now..

 

[BlackAchilles]

Damn tough break for Grigor ... at least he's got Eiza Gonzalez to help him cope

 

[UpAndComing]

Taylor Fritz with a great start

 

[Nero Christ]

I feel like Sabalenka will turn this match around...but her composure for a GS champ is very poor

 

[the next guy]

I am sad about Dimitriov still

 

[Mazino]

The honourable Taylor Fritz y'all

Sabalenka is one of the most frustrating players in the game, total headcase

I don't see her as a 10 major winner, makes matches so difficult for herself. Chick really needs to see a sports therapist

 

[Nero Christ]

WTA needed Sabalenka to come thru

Upsets are fun the first couple of days, less so when you gotta market a final for people to watch and buy tickets to

 

[Mazino]

Wouldn't suprise me to see Andreeva win it all

She's hungry and will be a thorn in their sides for years to come
