Tennis: US Open 2017

[MsMeow]

Sock dropped the first 2, won the next 2 and lost the 5th.

Annnnnd 'bathroom' break for Sharapova. Nothing has changed. She's still trying everything in the rule-book to increase her chances of winning.

I forgot how much I hated how she plays the game. The changes in her screams during big points and the constant moves like that. She's obsessed with winning that she will do anything.

The Lady in Black--I love it. Go, Maria.

 

[ColePens]

Halep's work rate is unreal.

 

[MsMeow]

This Sharapova/Halep match is fantastic!

 

[ColePens]

Some unreal tennis. Seriously high quality and we are in Round 1. This felt like Semifinal quality.

 

[ColePens]

Reallllly wanted Halep to pull it off, but Maria's emotions are about as raw as you get. Beautiful moment.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Great match. Maria is back

 

[kihei]

In effect now, Maria becomes the #2 seed, taking over Halep's quarter of the draw. Kind of ironic, no?

 

[kihei]

Some unreal tennis. Seriously high quality and we are in Round 1. This felt like Semifinal quality.

It was semi-final quality. 60 winners from Maria. But you have to feel for Halep--what a brutal draw.

Maria wore black for the funeral of Halep.

 

[ColePens]

Maria had a chance to win the crowd like Djok did years ago. She failed on that. I'll never forget when Djok won the crowd over after the times he either **** all over them or just walked off the court. I wish Maria would have done that right there.

 

[ColePens]

Adorable moment right there with the girls taking a selfie for them and high-fiving them.

 

[Belial]

This sucks for Halep... Sharapova in the first round...

 

[Hadoop]

And with that she's back. She may have been sidelined by her sheer stupidity (or her sheer competitiveness) but she still has the tennis world in the palm of her hands.

 

[kihei]

Alexander in straights, hopefully. Part of his goal should be to conserve energy.

 

[ColePens]

Zverev looks like a beast. The outfit gets a 9.5/10

 

[Belial]

Lool that King guy is no slouch!

 

[MsMeow]

Zverev looks like Borg. Striped shirt, long blonde hair, headband.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Go King!

 

[kihei]

What a messy first set so far from Zverev.

 

[Belial]

King is playing really well, I love these no name stories!

 

[Know Your Enemy]

 

[Belial]

Damn, he was so close!

 

[kihei]

I don't know what the mystery is with King. Nice first serve, but it shouldn't have been that much of a struggle for Alexander to win that set.
