The Tennis thread

also djokovic games are so boring until the finals, no one gives him a run.

Needs more Lleyton in the box

I’d love for former players to not be able to walk into commentary gigs in any sport. If they do they need to do a training program that is more than 2 seshs with a ch7 exec type.

The standard of commentary in Australia across most sports has been rubbish for a long time.

Whether they are trained commentators or just out of the game.

Just pay Phil Liggett a sh!tload of money to relocate here permanently and he can call all sports.

I don’t even care if he knows nothing about the sport.

Sure, it’s entertaining.
But don’t expect them to be winners.

First time I have seen this Shapovalov kid.

He’s going to be a gun. He already is.

Shapalov is talented, though a bit limited. Top 15 or bottom reaches of the top 10.

Lots of Colombians at the tennis today. It’s like i am at the cycling.

Shapovalov will gain points and could be top 15 even after losing this match.

For a 19 yo he doesn’t have to many weaknesses as far as I can see

Limited how?

Kid looks like he has grand slams in him to me.

Big call from just one match but he looks very stylish with the one handed backhand, covers the court well, and plays an aggressive style.

Has some real power already as well and only 19.

Next big thing.

Barty is injured, has withdrawn from the doubles with an abdominal strain. Going to be very difficult against Sharapova, presuming she gets out there.

bolts gonna be awesome for australian tennis.

Shocking hair though

Phil’s best mates with my best mates ex father in law. Let that sink in first. When he comes to oz for the odd call or two he stays down here.

I’ve never met him, but I can definitely get the message through.
