🎾 The Tennis Thread - Part 5

[Iceman]

Konta goes a break up early on.

 

[Iceman]

Serena Williams beats Alison Riske. Konta now pulled back to 5-5 in the first set.

 

[Iceman]

Konta struggling a bit now. Dropped the first set and break down in the 2nd.

 

[Iceman]

Konta loses 7-6 (7-5) 6-1.

Congrats to Strycova.

 

[Iceman]

Djok already a set and a break up against Goffin.

 

[Iceman]

Djok won in straight sets in the end. Fed lost his first set but looking strong in the second.

 

[Iceman]

Fed now 2-1 up.

 

[Breogan]

Wow, there it is, all three old guard into the next round.
It's like a couple of old neighbors just cutting down the new weeds, so they can talk over their old fence again.
LOL lame metaphor.

Fed and Nadal back at it on fri, although unbelievable it's not for the trophy, it's to earn the right to face Djok.

I imagine this will play out and finish pretty much how they were ranked here, with;.
1.Djok, 2.Fed, 3.Nadal, and ahhh .....23?.Agut

Although would love to see some upsets.

 

[Iceman]

They just keep coming back lol. I hope the winner of Fed Nadal also wins the final, but Djok will probably have the easier semi.

 

[Iceman]

Serena set up against Strycova.

 

[Iceman]

Djok won the first set but Bautista has now come back to level it.

 

[Breogan]

Pundits wrote this off with Djok in routine straight sets,
Bautista literally had plans and reservations to be in Ibiza today, no one is as surprised as him to be here.
That he took a set off Djok (and he's the first to do so in this tournament) here is amazing.
Djok is (as expected) wrestling back control, and will undoubtedly secure the final,
yet surprising Bautista has shown he has what it takes to have earned this spot, and is definitely making Djok work for it.

Well done, surprisingly great game.


...and Congrats Djokovic!

Yeah, taking that set is a big achievement for Bautista. Good sign for the future for him and proof he belongs at this level.

Fed Nadal 4-4 at the moment in the first set. This is the big one! Can it live up to past encounters at Wimbledon?

Fed takes the first set on tie-break.

Beckham and Alex Ferguson are both in the crowd lol.

 

[Iceman]

Fed 2-1 up and 5-3 up in the 4th set.

Fed wins the battle of the legends. I hope he can go on and win the title now.
