pretty cool. serena retiring has made me interested in pro tennis for the first time in like 20 years.
Same here. I've mostly missed 20 years of evolution of the game, so these matches have blown my mind. I missed that women are serving as hard as men. The men and women are making plays I don't remember being possible.pretty cool. serena retiring has made me interested in pro tennis for the first time in like 20 years.
Why should tennis matches last as much as five hours ? Can’t be for ratings.
Alcaraz looks like he could be the guy. The diversity of shots he has in his arsenal is incredible. If he improves at all or stays healthy, he will win an awful lot.
It’s easy to make the Alcarez-Nadal comp but he’s got a lot more Joker in him imo. His ability to win points with power while moving side to side is crazy. He hits so many winners from a disadvantaged spot.
he does hit with a good deal of topsin a la Nadal, but yes, game overall more like DjokAgreed. If you said he was from belgium, I don’t think anyone would even mention Nadal.
Townsend is awesome - super fun to watch play and incredible in doubles.he does hit with a good deal of topsin a la Nadal, but yes, game overall more like Djok
if he stays healthy this is the first of many -- such a complete game
was a bummer watching my girl Taylor Townsend fall in the doubles finals after being up a set and 4-1 in the second
+1 What a career. Sad to see this day come .will forever be my GOAT
