Challengers got everything right about my sport – apart from the sexiness | Andrea Petkovic

Really good write up by Andrea Petkovic. Crossposting with the movie thread because if you love tennis, I think you'd love this movie, too.

 

Nadal lost!

 

It’s sad to see murray and him have retirement years like this

 

Osaka breaks Świątek in the third!

 

Is this on TV anywhere? Can only find the Gauff match

 

It's on Eurosport here in the UK. Don't know about anywhere else.

 

Osaka blew that really. Back on serve.

 

Świątek beats/thrashes/whips/destroys Potapova 6-0 6-0 in 40 minutes. Potapova won ten points.

 

Hopefully Alcaraz can keep this fuck from winning his first slam

 

Djokovic not looking good at all

 

This is just embarrassing for Djokovic

 

I dont think id say it was embarrasing, but it wasnt great. He had Knee surgery last month and barely any training coming into it. So getting to the final was a big acheivement. But i think i seen him miss more volleys today than ive seen 15 years watching him. Andy Roddicks podcast was saying he wasnt surprised at serve and volley, but surprised he was trying to go down the lines early, rather than grind the point. To me, he deffo wasnt confident in his knee and was playing to that.

 

Coco Gauff chosen as the female flagbearer for Team USA alongside Lebron James at the opening ceremony

 

Let’s all hope djokovic rides into the sunset after this lol

 

Alcaraz rn

 

Damn Carlos

 

Straight sets!?

 

He had a weird vibe about him tonight

 

Damn, djokovic broke him huh

 

2002 was the last year one of Federer, Rafa and Novak didn’t win a major. Wild

 

They wanted to get out of the us that bad huh
