Gauff and Pegula into the Women's Doubles final; opponents TBD !
Was so nervous for Nadal that I couldn't watch live (I know, I'm a woos). Decided to check scores online, saw the match was suspended and then immediately turned on the TV only to see Zerev hobbling off on crutches! OMG!iDang! Zverev just taken off court in a wheelchair during an absolutely fabulous semi-final battle with Nadal. Sasha rolled his ankle, very badly.
eta… Sasha out on the court on crutches to formally withdraw, big hug from Nadal. You hate to see this end this way.
Her T shirt said something like ‘We have 1028 days left’A woman has chained herself to the net during Ruud and Cilic match. wth?
Bravo to Iga Swiatek for her 35th straight victory
Only 39 more to go to match Martina Navratilova and only 145 to go to match Helen Wills
Women's tennis has some serious streaks
Clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhHR_3Wzlv0Touching, open press conference from Coco Gauff, still wiping away the tears but comfortable enough in her skin to share her hopes and vulnerabilities despite the disappointment. A remarkable 18-year-old or better yet, just remarkable period
these past two weeks have been filled with so many emotions and i am so grateful for this moment. thank you to everyone for all of the support.
grand slam finalist….
i’ll bounce back.
ps: tournament is not quite over for me yet… doubles final tomorrow allezzzz
You twisted your ankle? I hope you are ok!I actually did a Zverev a few hours before him, so I cringed when I saw the footage and worse…the still photos. Not the way that you want to win a match but I’m still glad Rafa won.
Who of the men are even playing Wimbledon…? It’ll be an interesting tournament. Feels like the changing of the guard!
Yep! I rolled it a few hours before we did. No surgery for me, just a moon boot.You twisted your ankle? I hope you are ok!
They just moved into the semi-finals. Serena served a love final game!Just caught a glimpse of Serena & Ons Jabeur at Eastbourne - they seem to match well as a doubles team!
To me it's rather baffling that T's behaviour during the match was clearly worse - to the point he should have been thrown out - and yet still it's somehow all Kygrios' fault. No wonder the dude has a contentious relationship with the press. Tsitsipas literally pelted a ball at a spectator!I didn't watch the match because I don't like either player, but I listened to the The Tennis Podcast this morning. The consensus was that Tsitsipas should've been defaulted for the ball in the stands but owned up to it in the press conference and apoligized. They said T. saw Kyrgios' behaviour as bullying and they agreed that he certainly was towards umpires. In his press conference, Kyrgios called Tsitsipas "soft" which Catherine said reeked of toxic masculinity. (I agree.)
Outside of a few players, I rarely watch ATP tennis now, even in Grand Slams. I just don't have it in me to watch for hours spoiled millionaires acting out (on court and off) all the while being adored by their fans.
At the very least, they should all travel with a sport psychologist and get any problematic parents to stay home.
Who is blaming Kygrios for Tsitsipas's behaviour? All I'm reading is how they both had their moments during the match, and the crowd clearly turned on Tsitsipas during the match.To me it's rather baffling that T's behaviour during the match was clearly worse - to the point he should have been thrown out - and yet still it's somehow all Kygrios' fault.
