Sorry, one more in a row.

Anybody taking any action tomorrow besides bayou's Haase play?*

I'm on De Minaur, but I'm not seeing anything else i love.



*I'm not as persuaded on the Goffy fade, as it should be about 5 degrees cooler.

I was thinking the same thing a couple days ago but was afraid to voice my opinion outta concern that it sounded more than a smidgeon geigh. But I guess that's why #nohomo exists.

So, #nohomo

And this one is definitely the last consecutive, I promise this time.

Kindly elaborate on why this particular Nadal fanboy is pathetic.

To be fair, if I had decided to attend the Open this year the largest balls would have of course been...in my pants.

Ba Dum Tssh!

But speaking of Nadal fanboys, did anybody else catch any of TGGRN's match?

He looked sharp. Best I've seen him play on a hard court since 2010 US Open and, in fact, his form reminded me specifically of the 2010 US Open version of Rafa. He was serving with a purpose and was actively trying to end points in ways that you don't always see from Rafa. Which included a willingness -- or at the very least an un-reluctance -- to move forward to end them.

So I'm backing off my admittedly faint-hearted Alex prediction. If I'm running a sportsbook, I would have Rafa listed as the favorite.

I should note that I have not seen Delpo play yet. His scorelines have been impressive.

You literally provided 2 cosmetic reasons to hate someone and proceeded to argue that they are more convincing reasons than a player's attitude, demeanor, and how he acts on court.

That's the whole point of a bold prediction, Captain Obvious. What's next? You're gonna want to bet that Nadal wins the French Open?

I would bet a handsome sum that if there was a betting contest between us, you would lose. And I wouldn't be surprised if you gave up in a week or two. You wouldn't get to bet -180's while I bet +300's either.

In other news, Bouchard was favored over a decent tennis player today. It was so mind-blowing that I figured it had to be an injury trap or something.

And of course she's losing.

People are flipping out in the comments, but nobody can really tell what was said. For all we know, he could have told him he was gonna DQ him if he kept blatantly tanking.

Yeah I'm sure that was a rules issue regarding effort not a pep talk

Baghdatis looks like the 33 year old guy you'd see hanging out at Fred's

I am jealous of anyone with Saturday night tickets in Ashe. That's going to be a very fun match between Federer and Kyrgios

I’m so glad I ended up buying them for Saturday night last week. I bet the prices are way up on tickets
