If we're talking about women tennis then one thing is certain !

There are 2 kind of players in this world...immortal goddess Serena and the other miserable mortals

Tsitsiiiiiiii

Epic comeback vs Nadal.

Now he's probably going to lose to Medvedev :D

Medvedev absolutely destroyed him. Started making mistakes in the third set but then found form again.

He looked unstoppable tonight with some of the insane shots he kept playing.

Couldn't watch the game, but honestly was expecting this. Medvedev got Tsitsipas' number from day 1. I think the fact that he cannot overcome this challenge is what will keep him away from reaching great heights.

Medvedev and Zverev on the other hand I can see winning multiple Grand Slams eventually. Tsitsipas will likely get 2-3 at best and their era will include several winners imo, no more three headed dynasties. I hope I'm wrong though, but that's what his mentality and consistency has shown me thus far, even if it's too early. He needs to get Becker or someone to coach him.

Thiem got fucked hard. Was leading 2-0 against Andujar and managed to lose 3-2!

Tennis is becoming a Greek sport :)

Hopefully more players will come and we don't just rely on two great individuals to carry the flag. It's always been a mystery for me why this wasn't a thing around here.


We all know Nadal is going to win the men's edition, but it'll be interesting to see the new female's champ. Sakkari appears to be the favorite now, being the highest ranked player in the semis, but she tends to choke bizarrely against presumed inferior players if she doesn't kill them off with a 6-0, 6-1 win. Maybe this is the tournament where she elevates her level, it definitely feels this way.

Shame that Japanese player retired the tournament otherwise she might have been the fav?

Seems to me like Italy is producing some talent as well brehme and I'm only basing this over the tough match Novak had against Musetti and now he's facing another Italian! or are they only good on clay? Sucks it won't be against Federer as apparently, he retired the last match.

So there's no chance any one wins against Nadal huh? I'll still hope for a Novak win but yeah ain't gonna happen.

Italy is very strong in tennis player production, they just don't have the next level gene.

Fognini is an Interista, his dad likes to pretend he has inside info and stir shit up on Twitter :D

Osaka wouldn't have been the favorite in Paris, but I think we're now having 6 different winners in the last 6 editions! Remarkable parity there. There's a dynasty or a rivalry in the works in women's tennis I reckon. Been a while with various different winners all over the place.

Osaka is a gf of a certain rapper. She can even leave the sport and she'll be fine.

Great semi final yesterday. Too bad Sakkari lost, but the other girl just couldn't lose. After hearing about the umpire's mistake that should have given her the game, I was sort of rooting for her to grow through. It would have been unjust to both if the result was different.

The match between Nadal and Dzokovic was out of this world. Best tennis match i have watched in my life.

Djokovic seems way off, but the game has its moments from both players.

2-0 for Tsitsipas, let's seal the deal :)
