You still have time to repent and leave this messy place...
(Actually, no you don't. You are stuck here with the rest of us)

Which, for those of us with years of experience and frustration in this game, is the fastest and most effective way to jinx yourself into tomorrow your pick losing, again, in another agonizing final set Tie-Break.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 9:10 pm ...

And Serena can't close the match out on her serve. Unfreakingbelievable.
Heck of a match for Harmony Tan. Has to be her best match ever. Too bad for Serena and this early exit.
Also a pretty early exit for me in the Women's Suicide Contest. At least I am still alive on the Men's side.
Another awesome day at Wimbledon.
Even if Serena had been in prime form, Tan's only chance was that. No pace, no rhythm, nothing for Serena to build on. Sure, a prime Serena would have squeaked the first set and roll on the second, but a good tactical plan from Tan.jazzyg wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 9:51 pm At least we're spared the garbage about Serena being a possible contender. Throwing in 80 mph first serves, missing shots by yards and moving sluggishly, all of which is totally expected for any 40-something player who has not competed for 12 months regardless of their history.
Tan fed her a steady diet of junk and it paid off because of the poor footwork and massive rust.
Gauff and Serena played horribly today, but since Gauff is 18 and coming off a slam final, she found a way to win. I don't like her chances here with those extreme grips, but I don't want to underestimate her incredible will and movement.
I am not that confident with my pick of Paul for tomorrow and the last time I checked I think only me and meganfernandez selected him.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 9:54 pmWhich, for those of us with years of experience and frustration in this game, is the fastest and most effective way to jinx yourself into tomorrow your pick losing, again, in another agonizing final set Tie-Break.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 9:10 pm ...

I don't want to jinx other peoples picks but I think I will be cheering against Otte and Kecmanovic tomorrow.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 1:27 amDon’t jinx us!!!Cuckoo4Coco wrote:I am not that confident with my pick of Paul for tomorrow and the last time I checked I think only me and meganfernandez selected him.I originally picked Serena today, for old time’s sake, then decided to save AND avoid her, so ai changed it. I’m sorry you got “cheeked” early but at least you made it last Day 1! I have never won a women’s SP and rarely made it to the second week. I think the men’s is easier.
I’m feeling good about Paul tomorrow. My only worry is that we could have used him in the next round.
Positive thoughts!!

^ Yes... I saw the 1st set and the beginning of the 3rd set of Serena - Tan, and Serena was as you describe above.jazzyg wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 9:51 pm At least we're spared the garbage about Serena being a possible contender.

Right, but he's definitely the same generation as Sinner and FAA. Age difference is only 1-2 years.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 7:59 pm Alcaraz is WAY ahead of the pack because, although he has not done anything great at a slam (he has done well), he already has two MS1000's. Those count.
It is a bit like Zverev, who has yet to win a slam, has been successful at MS1000's and has better results that his peers (Daniil and Stefanos) at that level (sure, Daniil has one slam). Right now, because of the age difference, Carlitos is in a class by himself, meaning he is not part of the NextGen-1, but has cleared himself from the NextGen-2 group.
