Ofc the body cams were turned off.

To add to the breakdown of the head-to-head provided by muwarror608:

But the 23-14 record is skewed by the 13-2 on clay by Nadal. On other surfaces the record is 12-10 Federer.

27-2 this year and undefeated in majors and Masters Series events at age 35. There will never be a better player in men’s Tennis.

This is the content I live for

I met Troy. He was a very good boy with snazzy socks.

This is simply not true. Betting lines are constantly reflecting the shifting preferences of bettors, eg the line on McGregor vs Mayweather shifted recently towards Connor bc the Irish karate man has a lot of stans. But most people’s expectation is McGregor’s going to lose, badly.

“Unexpected result” is the definition of an upset, and the betting line is the definition of measuring “expectation.”

Seriously? Do you watch tennis? In the most strictly defined terms you are correct, but come on, this was not an upset by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.

What a condescending article from the website that incorrectly declared the loss an “upset” a couple hours ago.

+1 yeessssss, there it is.

Not an upset at all. Everyone went and got sappy Jimmy Connorsesque on Venus. She got Jim Couriered today. Better player won

It was not an upset. Last I saw, Venus was +109.

That last set was almost sad to follow. It was as if Venus had gone in to the first set so hard and the body finally remembered you can’t recovered as fast at this age like you used. Although, am I wrong or did she play a much more controlled game against Konta and Ostapenko?

I know Venus has had her ups and downs over the last few weeks, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen her hit the brakes like that before.

Giri, please never stop covering tennis. I love you.

Meh, he threw it the wrong way.

This is such a good post Giri. Thank you. Sick writing skills. Thank you for bringing exposure and attention to tennis.

I mean, there is a middle ground between a 4000 sq foot McMansion and a 200 sq foot tiny home.
