That's our Hurkacz, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. :-(
Luckily we have another pretty good player still in the game, perhaps she'll win something.

Andy getting cocky with the underarm serve there. Some loudmouth dickhead in attendance too

Rafa losing the plot here. Hoping he can magically turn it on again in the inevitable fifth.

Good battle but you could see Serena doesn't have the poise or power that she used to have. I don't think she would have got far on this form.

Yes he has been a cunt for some time now. But it's just part of his... uhhhh... charm?
I dunno, it's 2022, where being a cunt in full public view is apparently no problem.

Yeah, it's truly painful now. I'm not a tennis fan so excuse my ignorance - does he have any behavioural disorders or any other ailments? He appears to do this stuff on the regular, and more than you'd normally excuse a frustrated sportsperson.

It wouldn't surprise me if he does, but you can only go on the information you have and he just seems to be a twat. |

He appears to do this stuff on the regular, and more than you'd normally excuse a frustrated sportsperson. Originally the excuse was "he's barely out of his teens, everyone is a selfish cunt around that age". Which... ok, fine. But he's 27 now, so he's running out of time to grow the fuck up. The best case scenario is that he turns out like Hewitt, who started off as an unimaginable cunt but then got better. Federer was a bit of a shit to start with too. |

He has half the talent they had (well, a quarter with fed), which is also eats away at him I think. Just a cunt who will always underachieve because he always finds an axe to grind or someone to blame.

I disagree about him not having talent. He's amazingly talented, and could be a champion if he put in the work. But he doesn't give a shit, and until that attitude changes he'll never be one of the greats.
He's not even the highest-ranked Australian player anymore.

Talent is overrated, Fed, Nadal and Djokovic all left every last bit of themselves on the court, never gave up, and worked tirelessly to win what they won.
Kyrgios just assumes he deserves to win and that those wins will come to him at some point, because he has talent.

No doubt he has talent - he could definitely achieve a lot more than he has done. He just acts up looking for others to blame rather than trying to improve. |

That'd be amazing. He'd get sent off court in record time.

Q1: why don't they run the Hawkeye thing realtime and have it make all the line calls live? How is the game enhanced by having humans get things wrong ~5% of the time?
Q2: what happened to the machine wot went beep whenever a serve clipped the net?

Q2: what happened to the machine wot went beep whenever a serve clipped the net? The other system, which seems a lot better, is a competitor to Hawkeye. |
