This also leaves out that the reason the matches run so late at the US Open is because they are ridiculously beholden to TV so they have to space out all men’s/women’s matches on Arthur Ashe from the quarters on. 4 matches on 1 court in 1 day, if even 1 runs long, the last game runs very late. They could easily…

You know, I was against dropping from 5, but just thought of something. Some people always complains the women get paid the same for 3 sets. This is the solution ... drop men to 3 and call it a day. Everyone gets the same pay for the same effort and rules and everyone can quit complaining. Just ensure it filters down…

I feel… fine with this? The fact that there is a rule on the books about a player needing to give their “best efforts”, which is an intrinsically subjective thing, puts this into the umpire’s arena of responsibilities. Being subjective, however, I think its up to the chair umpire’s judgment into how to enforce it, but…

I don’t think Nick was helped by the pep talk as much as he probably remembered he has a chance to take on Fed next round. Also, he was playing a doubles specialist and should've won in straights. I still stand by what I said in the last post about Kyrgios, but he does play his heart out against the big 3. I would not…

I’m not really sure what other racial or gender defined group you could put in this tweet that wouldn’t have everyone horrified. I’m firmly in the “old white men have caused and continue to cause the world many many problems with their power” camp, but this is just blind. How does behaving in an extremely hateful way…

Agreed completely.

I’d like to see her get 25 so the bigot Margaret Court can fuck off

You really don’t know what you’re talking about, but rather than start some sort of internet battle, let me try to help educate you on this particular topic:

I have tickets for tomorrow. I hope this match carries on forever. If we get Nadal-Djokovic and Williams-Kerber, all of my Christmases will have come at once.

How do the linespeople not succumb to leg cramps in a match like this? Has anyone checked the chair umpire for a DVT?

A classic read for anyone looking to bide time during an Isner marathon is The Guardian’s liveblog of the Isner-Mahut match. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/jun/23/wimbledon-2010-tennis-live

Begins at the 4:05pm mark, and includes descriptive gems like this:

This deserves all the stars.

The NFL set an example right then as to what they find reprehensible and what they find tolerable when they 1) let Michael Vick back into the league, and 2) didn’t throw Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson out on thier asses, never to come back, yet spend almost 2 years and $20 million dollars taking the Patriots to Federal c…

And fuck NFL fans

This cannot be overstated.   I wish this comment was in bigger font.

Three games.

YES!

It is actually possible to talk about what a monster he is without further degrading the women he chose to target - because of where they live or how old they are- as a symbol of how far HE has fallen. He is trash. They are not. That’s what matters.

Some would argue that he deserves a spot on that float ahead of half of their actual team.

An Austrian taking over the French? Is history no teacher?
