The Tennis Thread - Part 4

[Iceman]

Muguruza blowing Rybarikova away. 5-0 so far in the first set.

 

[Iceman]

LOL, no. Come on, the only reason Nadal is suffering knee problems is due to the style he plays. Which is grinds on every point and chases down every ball.

But I did noticed as the years went on, he seems to be taking a different approach lately. (ie. shortening points, going for winners, faster serve to get "free points", etc) So in the end, it all works out anyways.

But it was extremely nice of him to be so concerned about the knees of all his competitors. And it just happens that the surface that apparently would solve the problem is the one that he is totally dominant on! t:

But yeah it's interesting how these guys adapt their games as they get older.

 

[Iceman]

1 set up and now 4-0 up in the 2nd. Kind of ridiculous. Gonna be over in record time.

 

[regwec]

I <3 Muguruza. Hope she wins and Federer loses.

 

[Iceman]

Haha you don't like Fed? I definitely want Muguruza to win now that Konta is out. Ideally wanted that to be the final but Venus was too strong.

 

[regwec]

I think Konta has done brilliantly well this year.

 

[Breogan]

Muguruza blowing Rybarikova away.

Garbiñe looking great! Would so love to see her with the Wimbeldon trophy.
I've transferred Rafas defunct "Vamos!" right to her!

 

[raisethe3]

I hope Garbine wins Wimby. People thinks she's a one-slam wonder. Would help shut those people up.

 

[Iceman]

I think Konta has done brilliantly well this year.

Yeah, sure has.

Garbiñe looking great! Would so love to see her with the Wimbeldon trophy.
I've transferred Rafas defunct "Vamos!" right to her!

Ha, I'm very strongly backing her. Probably my favourite on the women's cicruit right now.

I hope Garbine wins Wimby. People thinks she's a one-slam wonder. Would help shut those people up.

Yep, she's young and I can see her winning more.

 

[Iceman]

Cilic Vs Querrey now. The first set goes to tie break.

 

[Iceman]

Cilic wins and is in the final!

 

[Iceman]

Fed takes the first set against Berdych!

 

[Kaleb]

Federer about to take the 2nd set now.

 

[Iceman]

He takes the second. Is this machine even gonna drop a set at this tournament?!!

 

[Kaleb]

Amazing

 

[Iceman]

Another straight sets dominant victory for The Fed. He's got to be the favorite for Sunday.

 

[raisethe3]

I'd be surprised if Querrey beats Fed. But let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

 

[raisethe3]

Sorry forgot to post my pics of shoes for y'all:

 

[Iceman]

I'd be surprised if Querrey beats Fed. But let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

I don't think calling him favourite is getting ahead of ourselves. It would be different if we were saying he was going to win.

 

[Iceman]

Hyped for the final now. All the build up to what is hopefully a great match between 2 in-form ex-champs - Muguruza Vs Williams.

Curious to see who gets broken first.

 

[Iceman]

Mugu takes the first set!

 

[raisethe3]

She breaks open in the 2nd set! If she keeps up with her stellar play, the trophy will be in her hands.

 

[Iceman]

Looking really strong now and Venus looks tired. 2 breaks up and 3-0 in the 2nd.

 

[raisethe3]

Yep, Mugu up 3-0 with another break in the second set. I think its over.

Edit: She's up 4-0, its over. I smell a bagel coming.
