Someone was waxing lyrical about how:
"Being born to Romanian and Chinese parents in London, spent some time in Canada, before returning home"
Is increasingly common and should be celebrated.
Yeah, lads, she's the child of millionaires, we're not exactly talking rags to ritches here. It's just that she went on to play sport rather that becoming another faceless investment banker.
Chinese
Romanian
British
Canadian
Phwoar
Give it another year and the injuries will probably send her in that direction. Kiko must be panicking over the potential tribunal.Originally Posted by Spikey M
I'm no investment banker.
Good to see Baz having a good time at the tennis.
I'm a twit
Nadal sporting the Bobby Charlton.
Raducanu has been so shit since winning the US.
She’s also 19 years old and has barely played at your level. It’s not as if before winning the US she had been on the tour for 2 years she’s basically a rookie who had the tournament of her life and has spent the last year injured every other week.
Women's tennis seems to have incredible form volatility, as a general rule, compared to men's. Even within the same match - there seem to be a lot of 6-1 0-6 6-1 type scorelines.
Yeah, they seem more likely to just bin a set off to concentrate on the next one. In best-of-three life, that's risky.
Unless you're a machine like Iga Swiatek.
The Isner - Mahit match was TWELVE years ago? Fuck off.
I spoke to a Tenant today that was born in 2004. The world needs to stop making me feel old.
I think Murray might be a bit fucked here.
Murray on the ropes
Good enough for the twat and his fame hungry mother.
I don't follow tennis but saw a headline about the woman who beat Williams yesterday bombing off her doubles game today and irking her partner
Couldn’t break his serve to save himself.
'Use the force, Andy'
Crowd wets themselves.
Makes a rugby union crowd look twat free.
Wimbledon is the worst sporting event of the year. I fucking hate it. I feel sorry for any actual tennis fans having to put up with it as well. Jesus wept.
It seems to bring the same flag worshippers that gleefully wear Union Jack anythings for the Jubilee. Although none of the big Opens have a good atmosphere. The French crowds are shit, the Yanks boo people to actual tears and the Aussies are just the French crowd with "Allez" replaced with boring English equivalents.
When I did watch a lot more tennis, the rest of the year seemed to have a more clued in audience.
Kyrgios in prime trolling mode here.
That last underarm serve and Tsitsipas' reaction was glorious.
They're just trying to leather it at each other at various points in this. Top SEETHE.
Finally the sport has drawn me in again. Gwan Nick, you don.
This really was beautiful, as was Tsitsipas trying to volley it as hard as he could at Krygios in the next set.
Gammon commentators laying into Krygios hard
The commentators are absolutely fuming
Nothing said about how Tsitsipas was lucky not to get ejected for firing a ball at the crowd and barely missing someone too.
He's the good guy and Krygios is the bad one...
The Gammonatti out in full force here.
Kyrgios has always been a bit of a legend.
His trolling of Nadal has always been top tier. Are they on course to meet?
In the semi-final.
Krygios has to beat Brandon Nakashima (20 year old, currently 54th in the World with this being his best GS performance) and then Cristian Garin or Alex de Minaur. He's got a very kind draw.
The only thing that bothers me about Kyrgios is he doesn't seem to be doing it for fun. He's doing it because he hates tennis and the people that play it.
Still, I have to laugh at the purists who take the sport to be so precious. Serving underarm is in the rules. It's not disrespectful until it's off the table. If it becomes a part of a player's arsenal (someone did it six times in one game this week) that's just part of the sport's evolution.
World No.97 to play world No.103 for a place in the semis. It's an absolute crapshoot.
Shame for Watson.
Whilst it wasn't heated like Krygios/Tsitsipas the Sinner/Alcaraz match was brilliant.
Feels like they could be the next Federer/Nadal rivalry.
Is playing on Sunday a new thing? I always thought there was one day where they didn't play at Wimbledon.
They're doing it because of some anniversary. Like a centenary of Centre Court or something. And I think they did it one year to deal with a backlog of matches.
Anything to take attention away from the racially discriminatory tournament.
Kyrgios is box office. Fuck the toffs.
Andrew Castle is such a twat.
Kyrgios is basically doing nothing wrong in this game, other than having a seemingly genuine shoulder injury (the alternative take seems to be he's pretending and gifted Nakashima the first set to throw him off his game?), so Castle is just going through everything he's done so far this tournament. There is very little commentary on the actual game. It's quite bizarre.
Castle is definitely gagging for something to happen.
Gammon?
Gammon.
Castle is absolutely peak gammon.
Geezer's criticising him for receiving treatment now. The amount of times I've had to watch these fucking dirty pink gammon go on about bravery and determination when it's one of their own porkfaces getting massaged for 2 hours
I've piled in on Jackie Chan at above evens. Nicky boy is done.
Throwing money away.
Kyrgios has this.
Kyrgios looking good now. Unseeded Garin in the next round for him if he progresses, then Nadal awaits. Just imagine the scenes.
He seems to have completely given up in the last few games.
And then all of a sudden all the unforced errors have gone from his game and he's up a double break.
He's a soft cunt for rubbing his arm for about half a set when there's fuck all wrong with it. The cunt.
It was tight, he had to loosen it up which it now is.
What a don.
We need him against Nadal.
Can’t believe you gave up on our man.
Get those red sneakers on. 😎
