I don't watch a lot of mixed doubles, and I know players are individually rated, but wouldn't it be way better to play with one partner over a long time instead of just making a meme pair expecting to roll everyone?
Usually yeah but obviously if you've got more talent you'd play singles so two top singles players together would cancel out any team dynamic
Luis Allen
*sniff*
Parker Clark
Konta's a mental midget, they don't like to get called out about it so act overly aggressive to whoever asks them.
Xavier Watson
>journalist Hey, you choked a bit at several key moments, do you need to work on playing better under pressure? >Konta Uh erm ooh um don't patronise me, you have no tennis knowledge y-you meanie
What a piece of shit, she played like garbage today. Even a half dead Riske didn't fuck up as badly and she has the gall to deflect? She can fuck right off.
>hey Konta you played shit have you thought of not playing shit? what type of sperg would ever think that's an acceptable question
Jackson Rivera
Why does Yea Forums hate Murray??
Robert Phillips
Nah fuck that. He was talking to her like she was an employee, she doesn't owe shit to any journalist clinger on, nobody does.
Nathan Diaz
>Andy Murray was born in Glasgow, Scotland >Murray grew up in Dunblane and attended Dunblane Primary School. Murray later attended Dunblane High School. >At 15, he was asked to train with Rangers Football Club at their School of Excellence, but declined, opting to focus on his tennis career instead.
Hudson Jackson
because he's a crybaby SJW Scottish TWAT who supported independence
He's got a perfectly valid point, however the phrasing is antagonistic, so what did he expect except for her to get pissed off? Especially if she can't handle pressure like he's implied. Maybe he just wanted some butthurt to put in his article, but if he wanted the actual question answered, e.g. what can you do to improve on high pressure key moments in future matches, he fucked up. That being said I don't give a fuck about athlete's feelings, and her just refusing to even address the point and deflect onto getting "picked on" is pretty pathetic. expected her to play the gender card tbqh
Brody Morris
Your welcome :) thanks for pissing it all away
Adam Ross
>murray I bet he lets his qt wife peg him every night, would explain why he’s butthurt all the time
Ryder Bennett
i love how murray gets visibly annoyed when somebody says that lol
Juan Cooper
hasn't EBAM previously said how the No 1 female player couldn't compete in the top 100-1000 men's tho
Eli Moore
That fact is true. The fact Serena has won multiple Olympic golds is also true.
James Roberts
It makes me laugh like a drain. Some pissed upper middle class tart called Jules or Imogen having five pints of Stellenbosch and screaming it at the top of her lungs as that ugly Scottish faggot lumbers around the court.
Joseph Butler
If you hate the Scots then why do you want them to stay
>scot calling us cucked
It’s ran out
Scot/Anglo conversations might be the worst thing about this board
Angel Bailey
He has a valid point but she's not a politician or an employee. She's doesn't owe him anything and isn't there to be interrogated. It's not his place to play angry coach and try and drill some learning into her.
Easton Williams
Doubt it, he's all about #feminist (literally the only reason why Serena said she'd play doubles with him). Serena did say she'd never win a point playing 1 on 1 with Murray back when he wasn't totally crooked
Landon Barnes
She had far too many unforced errors. She choked and played like shit.
Alexander Jenkins
Yeah maybe they should only ask cushy questions like 'what's your favourite colour? ' and 'if you were an animal, which one would you be?' and 'you played AMAZING today, it was an honour to watch you, can you please let me lick the ground you stand on?'
That was like 10 years ago. He didn't indulge in gender politics back then.
Jose Sanchez
One of the Williams sisters said that, too. I can't remember which. She basically said "Yeah, I think I train as hard as anyone, and I'd like more money, but don't pretend like I'd beat any of the top 700 male players, or come close."
John King
Where did you get those numbers? IBM? More like Idiot Bum Mince. How dare you go after the great Johanna JoKo Konta. What gives you the right to challenge her, you shitlord. Sure she may have a few unenforced errors and pissed away the match but what gives you the right to personally attack her? Literally physically assault her like that? Do you play tennis? Are you a professional? NO. So Back the fuck off and stop attacking me, just after I lost a hard fucking match. I've had it!
Jackson Roberts
Holy shit Raquel's body is pretty toned huh? Those muscles mmmm
Elijah Robinson
Ridiculous exaggeration. She had already said she didn't have the answer to her opponent's play. How exactly was she supposed to respond to those questions? It sounded more like a telling off at first and then he literally tried to turn it around as though he was helping her and it was genuinely patronising.
Unforced errors and double faults have nothing to do with being able to respond to your opponents game and everything to do with being a choke artist. It's two different questions and requires two different answers.
Fuck off, if she didn't have the answer then she'd have less unforced errors and her opponent would have more winners. She played awfully and threw away many key points. Her forehand was atrocious.
Landon Mitchell
>How exactly was she supposed to respond to those questions? "Yeah I think at the big moments I wanted to perform better, I didn't match up to the standards I've been at recently. I'll review this with my coaching team and try to learn from this and come back stronger next year" wow so hard
Josiah Myers
Konta was a bit unlucky to get a 33 year old midget who has made 0 slam semis from 52 attempts and is basically a doubles specialist.
Julian Cox

Lincoln Brown
>1. Describing sexism in sport as “unreal” It's hilarious how people are being presented as social justice activists for doing the bare minimum of things, like Sterling in football for example.
Aiden Roberts
BTW Konta has some weird no negativity policy with her coaching team. They probably can't even bring up the shit the journalist said to her. No wonder she didn't respond well.
Parker Edwards
looks like it all went downhill ever since he hired mauresmo to be his coach that butthurt comment he made about KTJ's athletics gold medal being #22 on BBC's most read made me laff. if the general public just aren't interested, then is he raging at everybody?
Hunter Smith
Lol what is even the point of having a coach then? No wonder she's a chokelord
Juan Reyes

at least she's solidified her British nature.

Henry Howard
>DJ Martin Solveig, who was co-hosting the award ceremony, sparked a huge backlash when he asked Hegerberg whether she knew how to twerk while she was on stage, prompting many to describe Solveig’s actions as sexist. I mean, that is a really fucking stupid thing to ask, and he definitely wouldn't have treated a male athlete that way, but fucking LOL anyway. She should have said "if I make my ass clap it'd crush your skull" >taking a meaningless sports trophy that seriously

Lucas Roberts
You now know federror’s sister also has twins

Is the Federer family some sort of ETH experiment?

You know twins are more common with IVF treatments so maybe the Federer’s are infertile

Matthew Price
>NID matched up front >potential upset match at an ungodly hour life is dukkha
all of her outburst are concluded with dindu nuffin wrong
Henry Lewis
Yeah I'm just kidding, it's just that many Argentinians are of Italian descent (I checked Wiki and it's something like 25 million from a 40 million population), even while they do speak Spanish. i.e Messi, Pope Francis, Icardi and so on. It's possible Pella is one of those
rba fed bot nadal looking forward to that fedal semifinal + resolution to the upset nadal seeks satisfaction arc. would love to see punished goofy win but too much onions in that generation, very sad. Pella can get fucked desu: no show all grass season then reaches wimbly quarters, hope rba rolls that stealth cunt. also going large on serena to win outright.
I just can't see all of the Big 3 surviving today, all of them are playing the darkest horses you can imagine. I think Djokovic will be fine but Federer is gonna be taken to a 5 setter by Nishikori and barely make it out. Nadal to be unexpectedly beaten.
Pella Djokovic Federer Querrey
Djoko-Querrey final, Djokovic destroys him in straights
Gonna be hard for fed and nudal but at least it may be fun. I really want djoko to choke but I don't see it happening this time.
Andrew Campbell
The big three look razor sharp, don't see any of the dark horses coming through. I fail yo understand why any of you weebs are rating nishichoki after all the poor performances of recent years against the big 3, that & federer with those +wimbly stat boosts forget about it, he'd be lucky to pinch a set. Bp+s is going to get steamrolled by a motivated rafa and goofy's destiny is punishment sadly.
Landon Garcia
Djokovic had a piss-easy route to the final from the start, and the seeds going out early made it even easier. Goffin in 21st is the highest ranked player he'll have to play before the final, and could conceivably be the only seeded player he faces in the whole tournament even if he wins.
Jason Watson
Name a more useless player than Goffin.
Hardmode: not Berdych
Liam Bennett
Actually I'm wrong, I forgot Pella was seeded. All the same.
My boy Bautista already broke that Argentine!!!!! Who /RBA/ here?
Charles Smith
give your energy to Goffin or for a career ending Djokobitch injury.
Austin James
why is Djokovic so unlikeable? it can't just be because he wins all the time; neither Federer or Nadal have bothered me. i can't bring myself to watch Djokovic play unless it's against Fed/Nadal (or Murray). i get no enjoyment watching him play.
Nolan Diaz
Is he? Seems an alright lad to me.
Dominic Watson
Raonic completely fake persona plus unlikable baseline slugfest until the opponent makes an error play style
Jacob Walker
Where do you find stream links?
Because you're racist.
Cooper Foster
see
Joshua Garcia
>boring baseline returner >always screeches at the crowd or ballboys >spends excessive time bouncing the balls before serving >always sperging out at umpires Also it would be less cringey if he didn't try so hard to be liked
He's a baseline hitting robot, his play style is so fucking boring and harkens back to the 1990s slugfest era. I have a lot of respect for how unbeatable he appears on court, but it doesn't mean I have to find him entertaining.
I also suspect he has deep insecurities at how much more beloved Federer and Nadal are, which explains why he sometimes comes off as resentful and aggressive.
In the end he'll be very much the Connors of this era - universally respected for his tennis and the records he broke, but simply not as warmly remembered in the public consciousness as Borg and Johnny Mac.
Kevin Hill
You much prefer the Spaniard adjusting his thong.
Xavier Perez
>I have a lot of respect for how unbeatable he appears on court, but it doesn't mean I have to find him entertaining.
>I also suspect he has deep insecurities at how much more beloved Federer and Nadal are, which explains why he sometimes comes off as resentful and aggressive.
Okay so he's Hungrybox gotcha
James Perez
Or you know, he's a savage Slav from a shithole country you don't care for, and isn't from one of these countries you fetishize as sophisticated and superior.
Josiah Nelson
Uh possibly
John Miller
> it can't just be because he wins all the time It might be that. I found myself cheering super hard for Djokovic in the 2018 French Open.
Dominic Bennett
exactly
Logan Ramirez
Nadal is more popular than him, and he is from Spain.
Angel Thomas
There's no winning with you people. If he tries to appeal to the masses hes insecure, if he acts as superior to the rest as he is you'd call him stuck up.
Ryder Miller
>another Spaniard inexplicably peaking in his 30s
Jace Ramirez
Seeing your flag I can understand how you perceive Spain, but pasty whiteoids have a different perception.
Parker Myers
Ho lee fuck Goofy lookin gooooood Would like to see full heel djokovic desu would be kino considering that slav state of mind
Probably because he's tried being both, and neither looks great on him.
He doesn't have to try to 'win' with me necessarily, I accept that he just lacks the charisma of the others, it's not his fault. It's just that, coupled with (for me) his boring playing style, that makes him less likeable.
Like I said, I still have a lot of respect for the guy. He has a cast iron will and determination.
Juan Smith
GODfin
Jaxson Brown

Goofy you putz

ah well
was a good match wile it lasted
Ryder Richardson
that'll learn her. lol
Jace Miller
so why did the umpire rob Goffin of that point at 4-3 30-30?
Wyatt Morgan
fucking Pella survived 4 or 5 break points. Cmon Bautista!
William Hernandez
Goffin should have pressed the issue, there's no way the call and correction DIDN'T affect his shot, robbed imo.
Jose Gonzalez
Because he """Hit the ball before the call""". Was probably a wrong decision, but tbf it did not matter in the end
Luke Gutierrez
literally any other player would have been seething
Wyatt Myers
Why do the crowd hate Djoko?
Matthew Green
What's to like?
Nicholas Perez
yes, new break for Bautista, right on time. Will serve for the 1st set.
Gabriel Carter
he's annoying
Isaac Russell
His body language during matches shows some evident insecurities that he tries to overcompensate by looking tougher than he is and by faking dominant and macho-looking gestures.
His game is effective but boring, he doesn't excel at anything except at returning.
While Federer and Nadal both look confident and comfortable on court, not trying to play a role, Djokovic always looks like he's acting, trying to grab attention from them, trying to be liked but ultimately coming across as a fake and undefined character. And he has anger management issues as well.
Alexander Hernandez
Blagoj, you turned off your proxy before posting!! Quickly, delete!!

>His game is effective but boring, he doesn't excel at anything except at returning. But that's the point isn't it. No matter how good your offense are, as long as it can be returned, you'll win eventually. That what makes him no. 1. I agree about the boring part though.

So weird for a tiny country like Serbia to have a wunderkind like Novak.
Jack Lee
no, Federer prevails over Murray, that's how embarrassing the crowd is
Alexander Cox
Can’t stand those cunts Sue Barker and the rest that spend the whole tournament referring to Federer and Nadal as “Roger” and “Rafa”. Whereas Djokovic is always Djokovic. Hope he BTFOs them again.
Mason Collins
>gofag isn't even trying anymore I bet even djoko wishes to see a nadal match by now
Djokovic must have to supply a very specific scoreline to the Chinese betting syndicates
Jonathan Peterson
the comebacks on
Dominic Morris
it shows him respect, Fed and Nadal are normal guys with weaknesses, Djokovic is a more godlike player, seems to have no flaws when he is on fire , so they respect him more, by calling him by his "real" name.
Brandon Carter
I've seen the crowd cheer Fraud DFs when against Murray 2bh.
Jackson James

We're bored m8.

Serena plays doubles and singles and wins both at 38 years old. Is she the Goatess?
Nolan Gonzalez
> le Novak is boring meme do you guys even watch tennis?? I'm so tired of this nonsense > Novak is boring > He is trying so hard to be loved > Nobody likes him, Rafa and Roger are class
c'mon guys, try harder his tennis is exceptional, and 'boring' is the word that least describes it. If you watch tennis at least a little bit, you'll see that Rafa is a way bigger pusher, and Rodger has far fewer exotic shots. It's just that when Rodger makes one cool shot, the whole planet goes "Wow, such elegance, king, GOAT" etc
Roger and Rafa became a stars and biggest rivals of tennis earlier, than Djokovic steped into the club and created a so called big-3. Djokovic won his 10th GS way later than Fed and Rafa
Grayson Cox
Agut takes the second set. 2x0

Just turned on the tv and saw tennis was on.
1. What is this retarded point system? 2. What is with the fat fucks in the background with blue shirts on? 3. Do the ballboy/ballgirl not get cramp sitting in that position all game? 4. Why do they let the grass get so scuffed? 5. When do the hot ladies that go UHHHHHHH when they hit the ball play? 6. Why does everyone in the audience look like they live in a mansion?

Wow rude. You are unironically worse than /fs/ aka literal pedos.
Benjamin Young
how do you acquire an african american gf like Serena?
do you have to act hood or go left-field and be ultra-white like le reddit man?
Adrian Stewart
I agree his tennis is not boring at all. The way he grinds through crucial moments and his top notch defense are pretty interesting.
He's not a very likable character, though. He should just embrace his anti-hero fate and stop trying to be like Roger and to speak like a politician. Not to mention his whiny attitude on court sometimes.
Noah Torres
Djokovic can't see for shit, his challenges have been terrible
they are in hollywood at least!! there's 3 times more hispanics than blacks in USA, but in movies there's 3 times more blacks than hispanics. So they are 9 times more represented than hispanics!!!!
David Myers
stop typing like a faggot
Bentley Hill
Just anecdotes desu, it would be nice if someone put it into numbers. Btw these guys are advertising on ESPN a lot: youtube.com/user/MassMutual/videos
I'd say AO17 isn't too far, but sure Woods was even further down the drain than Roger ever has been. Would've never put a cent on Woods winning anything, unlike Roger who's still an outsider.
