*shakes head.

Loving the look of Bouchard just quietly.
Genie!

When Swiper brought up Vekic, I thought of and responded with Eugenie. She's a super talent at 19.

She's showing some more consistency this season, and she's coming through with Keys, Stephens, Vekic, Robson etc.

I didn't see the match last night, but that would be her 2nd or 3rd top 20 victory? Probably the biggest of her career.

She played some very solid tennis. Ivanovic wasn't great, but was never in the match anyway.

Sad to say, but I thing Rog is done and dusted with regard to Grand Slam victories.

Thanks Andy. She'll perform well and probably struggle to back it up. She did the same after victories over Peer and Stosur this season (even though Sam wasn't at her best).

Yeah, my love for the man is on FG's Cornet levels, but sadly I have to agree.

When he was on 16 majors for 18 or so months, I slowly resigned myself to the fact that he may not win another after the Murray victory 12 months ago. I think 17 is where he'll finish. He's been up for so long, and whilst he'll remain competitive, he'll struggle to compete for a title again for a myriad of reasons.

A 2nd round exit at Wimbledon is unfathomable for him. To put it into context, he last exited the Championships at that stage or earlier, back in 2002 (first round), and it was a young Mario Ancic who was a qualifier. The ten subsequent years, it has been a quarter final result or better, including his record 7 victories.

Annoyed.

Huge call.

Yeah, he just isn't the dominant force that he was circa 2004-2010.

His run has been nothing short of unbelievable. 36 GS quarter finals in a row. Jaw dropping.

Congrats to Parko for winning the Oakley Pro in Bali.

The final was held in nearly the worst surf of the comp. 5ft and onshore. Bit of an anticlimax but keeps Parko alive in the race for the title.

Ivanovic can lose every match she plays and still be the finest women's tennis player of all time as far as I'm concerned.
And speaking of GOATs, Federer is far from done imo. It's impossible for him to go out on top now, so I'd just be happy to have another few years of watching him play. He's the closest thing to having manbone I've ever had, and I'm happy to keep having it. And that's some grammar I've no interest in fixing. Nor having had fixed.

don't really know what the motive is given there are only 2 people who know, and one of them is dead. aaron has had gang ties since forever and apparently the victim was making friends with the wrong people.

a young millionaire with the world in his hands, pissed it all away and will probably spend the next 30 years in a cell
