Grass season is the sexiest season
nadal is right, the clay season is too short, and there is not enough tournaments on it. we have 3 masters and 1 gs.
come on laddy
>>68165442
>april 10th to june 5th
feels like a month though i definitely agree
at this rate clay and grass together is 3-4 months and then 8 months of shitty squeaky hardcourts
>>68165442
Clay sucks
>tfw once upon a time all the slams were played on grass
>>68164648
thought del potro was supposed to be playing today 2bh
>>68164648
>the French Open was canceled due to rain and had no winner this year.
ayy
>>68165639
I'm happier that way.
Strange that. No French open winner. Shame for the Andy. Thought he was gonna win it in the final. Wimbledon is the comfiest slam.
Serena FUMING that the bot won
>>68166228
Perhaps she's wondering why a chicken would be labelled gluten free
>>68165808
>tfw didn't watch the last set of the final and it's not part of my memory

How do you live without 4chan x or some other script?
>>68166496
Oh nvm you got some.
I thought raw 4chan had hide feature by now.
>>68166496
too used to the default, all the addons are trouble desu
>>68166510
it does
>>68166523
I see. 4chan x disabled my native extensions
>Groth can't even win easily on grass
>>68166460
He mad
>>68165488
That's qt as fuck, where is it?
Thank god we're back to these comfy threads without casuals
>12 posters
REJOICE lads. Queens will be comfy.
>>68169394
>>68170621
this 2bh
What we thinking got Wimbledon? Really thing Muzza has a chance.
>>68171544
Murrovic final and Djokovic wins
>>68171886
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I made this for the years of hell ahead.
>>68171886
this. how much more of that do we really want? a part of dies every time i watch that episode. on /r/tennis everyone's on about how lucky we are to be witnessing this era but i find myself unimpressed by it. i am not enjoying this shit
FUGG. Just realised at Djokovics age Federer had 16 slams. Djokovic has 12. As much as it's painful now. I am completely sure he won't get to 17 lads. He won't be the GOAT. That helps me sleep at night. Max 1 year he keeps this shit up. Then he either withers or someone comes to challenge him.
I wouldn't even mind if Cilic wins another slam..
>>68172060
Same. I don't even hate Djokovic (though his celebrations at RG were pure cringe) but I can't find enjoyment in watching him playing. Watching a Murrovic final (Murray losing 90% of the time) is boring.
Can't wait for the day the newshits like Kyrgios and Zverev win Grand Slams.
>>68172153
>tfw you realize 30+ Fed only won one slam
>>68172316
Don't worry, he'll win one next month ;)
has anybody ever won a grand slam while not in the top 10?
>>68172437
Sampras as a wild card won us open
>>68172284
i don't hate him either. it's just that there's nobody there to push him so he's pretty much steamrolling his way to everything. it's pretty ironic coming from a rafa fan i guess but rafa has always had his struggles throughout his career. his vulnerabilities make him endearing. with the fedal era, there was competition and it was exciting to me.
maybe in the historic context, this is a big deal. but >DWL is not really fun because nobody can challenge him. and it's killing me. Dominance is NOT exciting.
>yfw you realise Rod Laver did this twice
>>68172437
Cilic
>>68172437
kim clijsters won the USO a few years ago when she came out of retirement. it was pretty cool because she was unseeded at the time and she was a wildcard entry.
Post yfw KYRIGOAT knocks out bot
>>68172664
>>68172664
Pleasant of the French lads to join us after RG. You are much more welcome than the aussies.

noice. thanks. lots of good matches
Fuck yes im glad the french open is over and the casuals are gone.
Grass season is comfy as fuck.
>>68174123
Grass season is way too short though.
They really need to trim the hard court season.
Also enjoy it while it lasts, Wimbledon and Rio will bring in hordes of casuals.
>>68174212
I will embrace it. I didn't enjoy the french open or the clay season much rhis time. Didn't even watch the last two sets of the rg final, went to play tennis instead. Been working on your game, dutchbro?
>>68173530
His ugly wife was Serb.
>>68173739
Should retire and become a model like Wozniacki
>>68174343
Some shit matches desu. Disappointing. Best match was Murray vs Stepanek or that French kid.
>>68174452
he actually admitted to being a serb too
>>68174343
I'm not the tennis playing Dutchbro. Though on occasion I go outside and just play against a wall kek.
>>68172479
>>68172483
>>68172551
>>68173406
interesting. thanks
>>68174517
SCUM tbqh lad. Just shows the state of Serbia. Would never catch Swiss anons at it.
>>68174647
Wall is the world number 1 tbf
You think Rafa will be back for Wimbly? I doubt it.
Delpo tonight lads
no hes finished
del potro soon
>>68192085
most likely not. but that's okay. he can rest for however long he wants to. i don't want him permanently fucking his wrist up
habbening
LMAO based DJ playing a Nicole Scherzinger song. Grigor SEETHING.
Fuck Delpo looking good.
Tennis needs a Leicester desu, someone from outside the top 100 to go through the qualifiers and win the whole thing
ez win for delpotro. dimitrov just dropped off after 4-4 in set 1
>dimitrov is the new fed goat
>dimitrov
What does he even do?
Got btfo everything since he tilted at that 250 final.
https://twitter.com/thetennisisland/status/740163934951493632
>>68195163
I thought he was going to start crying. That's savage
>>68195163
i dont get it
>>68195207
He recently split up from Nicole Scherzinger, who's singing that song
>>68195163
BANTER
>>68165448
Put a racket in Bot's left hand
>>68195163
that's pretty rude 2bh.
>>68195163
>on/off gf
he deserves it
Really think Delpo could do well on the grass. Serve looked amazing today. Forehand firing. Backhand is still a problem but with the slice on grass is compensating for it.
>>68195854
Deplo actually could do quite good again if it weren't for his backhand, it's just too vulnerable. Any decent player could just demolish him by abusing his backhand side
Anyone watching baghdatis?
Still looking for a friend of mine in the audience. He's a test driver for Mercedes and got free access.
Planning to wear his skin next year to gain access.
>>68197657
F1?
The Stuttgart center court looks comfy as fuck.
>>68197740
Nah regular cars
Any car that is sold was driven for a like 100km already.
>>68197842
Seems reasonable.
>Tommy Haas is new IW directory
I didn't know that
>>68197957
B-but he was supposed to carry on playing until he's 45 and win his first Slam after about 7 more injuries and the retirement of the Big 3.
>>68197957
Yep, he and federer were hitting around on a tiny tennis court in Stuttgart too
https://www.instagram.com/p/BGVSSmynbb0/?taken-by=mercedescup
>>68198035
He's not ending his pro career tho
>inb4 he gives himself a wildcard
fritz is gonna beat federer
>>68198062
What is that? Not sure if delicious or disgusting.
>>68198073
this
>>68198062
Pizza on tortilla?
Visionary.
>perfect grass court already destroyed
This triggers my OCD
>>68198146
We also have our first ballgirl slip of the young season
Anyone else seeing all of them bantering about the court

He's not that bad. Americans new hope now that Cuck and Dolan have failed.
inb4 Fed withdraws
Is delpo our saviour?
>>68201055
He could have been the one
>>68201159
That 09 final was magic. Never seen a forehand hit so hard
