Western & Southern Open, New York City, US - ATP Masters 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

I didn't think it was weird so much as it was a really good match. Too much drama from Medvedev, though, and RBA is very consistent. It was a pretty good match, though. Commies called it the match of the week.

Maybe 'weird' was the wrong word in the context of the match,credit to Bautista,though Danni is such a difficult player to read at times,the first set from him was just great tennis,though I read he said he was happy with his form.

Per Jon Wertheim on Twitter,

Hearing 'strong possibility' of a full boycott tomorrow.USTA statement coming shortly,will be interesting to hear the framing.Let's not forget Naomi Osaka's role here.

Just to keep posters up to date she forfeited her s/final match tomorrow' as a black person first' to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Statement On Pause of Play at the Western and Southern Open,

As a sport,tennis is collectively taking a stance against racial inquality and social injustice that once again has been thrust to the forefront in the USA.The USTA,ATP Tour and WTA Tour have decided to recognize this moment in time by pauzing tournament play on Thursday Augist 27th.
Play will resume on Friday August 28th.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Osaka has withdrawn from her semifinal to support the anti-racism movement hopefully Djokovic will do the same to support social equality and put many of his friends before money and success.

Does this mean all 4 semis are played on Friday?
2 finals on Saturday?

I was sure milos will lose the first set, but one strong fh in the tb and that’s it.
Hope he will beat the sissypussy!

Both are serving extremely well.

 

[Bonaca]

Yes, break for Miloš in the 2nd!

Sissy is losing faith.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Raonic is one of the unluckiest players on the tour alongside Nadal because they have both been injured so many times and have underachieved a lot. Hopefully Raonic will continue being healthy because he can definitely win this tournament and the U.S. Open.

 

[Bonaca]

Now Raonić is dominating pussy like he did at the AO!

Nothing to do with luck, his body , like Juan‘s, is not made for the long tennis season. Too big and too heavy.

Raonic is killing it at the moment and he's a definite threat here and next week! He's "in the zone!"

Just a thought Bonaca, some of us here are fans of Tsitsipas.

 

[Bonaca]

Just a thought JelenaFan , some of us here are not.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Trainer out for Novak.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Injury timeout coming up in order to try to break Bautista Agut’s rhythm. How predictable. He would never do it if he was up a set.

 

[Bonaca]

Roberto as solid as always, Novak weak.

It worked.

Even if you are not a fan, why call him the p word?

Even if you are not a fan, why call him the p word?

People who usually use such terms are actually gay in denial.
