Has it really come to this? Am I having to root for Kyrgios because he’s playing Tsitsipas?

Since I'm not really watching or care, I'm guessing you need to keep this thing competitive so you want Kygrios to defeat Stefanos to make watching the rest of the event worthwhile! This is why I'm no fan; staging going on even if not intentional! When Nole lost all his matches I had to assume the possibility!

Team World is a disaster!!!!!!!!!!!

Tsitsipas has a very shanky 1HBH, which can be a feature of Roger's. Is that a danger of the 1HBH, or just of them. I don't see Thiem or Wawrinka shanking as often. Just asking.

That's a clean sweep of Team World today 0-4 in matches. They will need to win all 4 matches tomorrow to win the cup. And apparently there's been some drama caused by Sascha trash talking. Friday night he said on the Team EU bench after that doubs loss to Iznah/Shapo that Team World would not win another match. It was overheard on the other bench.

Results after Day 2, EU leads 11-1. Yikes!

Lawdy, Shapo ate a bakery product in an exho.

Just looked @ players listed! EU has all top 10'rs except Alt.! How's this supposed to be comp. "for real" unless there's some choreography?

Steve Weissman, on the Tennis Channel, just used the phrase “for the first time in Laver Cup history.”

Oh, wait — I thought this was the Jokes thread.

Both teams all shined up

No more crazy than Tara Lipinski who penned her biography as a 16 yo after winning figure skating OG in Nagano over Michelle Kwan in '98!

I don’t find this interesting at all. It’s like Davis Cup-lite.

 

[kskate2]

Day 3 Results, EU win the cup 14-1. Sascha was right. Team World never won another match after Friday doubs.

Too bad for Zverev he can’t curse his opponents in an actual tournament that matters.
