The Tennis Thread - from Jan 2020 (Part 1)

Rafa looks cooked

The crowd making noise is fkn terrible. Booing in between serves and when Venus is about to serve is garbage.

He is the Big Bash League of Tennis.

meh what do they expect, this is what you get when you aim for bigger and more diverse crowds - like there’s not some endless pool of toffy wankers to draw from who are just waiting in the wings to come, watch a gentleman’s game of tennis and quietly leave without saying a word

like building an open-air arena between JCA and RLA was ever going to attract anything but

I can’t disagree with any of that, the result is just a bit gross.

yep

on the other hand, if you come all the way here, survive the 40 degree heatwaves and a hostile, raucous and abusive crowd to win the slam - you should probably just go straight to rank 1

Rod Laver doesn’t know how to wear a mask properly.

Has anyone heard him speak?

Can wait when we’re playing in Europe and the local crowd let’s off a flare.
