@Regular_P I’ve been meaning to ask you this….despite the lopsided H2H in Fed’s favor, who are some players that usually gave him fits? I was thinking about that with Nadal and despite the H2H record and no matter what his form was…Gulbis (almost) ALWAYS gave Nadal a hard time.

The H2H isn't as lopsided as that but Monfils. Guys who could scramble gave him the toughest time because he was stubborn and late to adjust. Monfils was obviously as talented as just about anybody and he always played Fed tough and knocked him off a handful of times too.

Once the match was suspended you knew tsitsipas would gain the advantage

Yup between that and the fall he could regroup and that's exactly what he did.

Tsitsi barely survives against a Andy Murray

Eubanks w/the big upset to get thru to the third

Andreescu getting back into form again

Murray kept targeting the weak BH of Tsitsi and was working for the most part but once the 4th set was lost it felt inevitable that the match was lost

Alcaraz gonna have to earn it if he reaches the final. The top half of the draw is tough

Watch Stan steal the first and this match gets suspended because of this goofy ass curfew too.

It's striking how professional ESPN's tennis coverage is compared to the NBA.

Maybe cause they think it's aimed at a more professional crowd

I mean tennis ads are mostly Rolex commercials and investment firms...ESPN knows & Perk won't be tolerated here

It's so goofy they don't have automatic calls at Wimbledon.

No rap music leading into breaks either. Just classic rock or classical music only.

Stan's not hitting the ball well enough to have a chance.

He just can't move like he used too, so the shots aren't getting the depth he needs

Imagine the NBA production crew working tennis.

"We're gonna have Victoria Azarenka on to tell us why Steffi Graf's Grand Slam total isn't that impressive since she was playing against waitresses and dental assistants."

"After that, Stefan Edberg is gonna tell us why the Big 3 would not have survived in the 80s and 90s."

"But first, Michael Chang is here to tell us why Jannik Sinner should fire his coach if he doesn't win Wimbledon."
