The Official Tennis Thread

The #1 and #2 ranking has been a big talking point. But you gotta just blame the 90s generation for all of this

They were supposed to be competition for the Big 3, steal some titles away from them. Also were supposed to at least somewhat put speedbumps on Carlos, Jannik and the rest of the 2000s Tennis generation. Zverev, Tiafoe, Fritz, De Minaur, etc should all be ashamed of themselves. Medvedev on hard courts might be the only guy to give the top 2 players some resistance

They've been failures

Thiem woulda been the one but that injury killed him. One time slam winner, AO finalist, 2 time FO finalist, and gave hell to the big 3 no matter the surface or event.

Besides him, Zverev still the biggest disappointment. Even if he does so happen to sneak a Grand Slam (which i’ not trying to minimize AT ALL), there’s no reason he should be slamless at this point in his career.

Parks really struggles with her footwork. Like she's never in a correct position to hit a return

When Thiem shortened his forehand...he elevated and it was only a matter of time...hate when injuries rob us of talent like that

Tomorrow we get:

Shelton vs Fonseca

Musetti vs Fils

Swiatek vs Andreeva

Not a bad slate of matches

His 2020 match vs Rafa at the AO was

His 2019 match at the ATP Finals vs Novak is

If Alycia Parks EVER put it all together and went on at least a SF slam run, us black folks would make her a star. She got the looks, the body, and her game is easy to watch as a casual, just need results.

Coco Gauff will always be like a lil sister to us since she been on the scene since 16

Absolute facts. If she gets to a SF of a Slam, she'll be on every Hip Hop radio show and podcast. Probably even a Good Morning America time slot lol

I'm always for the philosophy of "F*ck those rankings, take a rest"

Don't wanna get burned out

Muchova giving Coco hell right now. Best I’ve seen her play coco

Yea...Madrid is the least like RG in terms of conditions.

Rest up, get some matches in at Rome and get ready to try and go for the 3peat in Paris

Finally won in 3.

Coco didn't play that badly, Muchova was peak (as the youth say) in the 1st and 3rd. Serve and FH was cooking and stayed clutch saving 80% of break points.

Tough L for Coco but Muchova was playing like Lady Fed out there

My current favorite WTA player when she’s on
