2018 ATP/WTA thread

Yeah the line crew fucked up badly. Line judge wasn' even paying attention, and called "out" on instinct. Pliskova's ball was so far inside the line that they couldn't see a mark, and the umpire didn't have the balls to overrule and didn't even bother to search for a mark. Hawkeye doesn't work on clay courts either so Pliskova had no further recourse.

They should allow for TV replays in such a situation.

About damn time.

A Czech Republic court has ruled a suspect in a knife attack on two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova be taken into custody.

Zuzana Buresova, a spokesperson for the county court in the city of Prostejov, says the court issued the ruling on Thursday. Buresova declined to give any further details.

Police have not commented yet, and declined to confirm the man's arrest, citing an ongoing investigation.

After the attack in her home in Prostejov in December 2016, Kvitova had surgery on injuries to her playing left hand.

It took her more than five months to recover.

In a message to local media from Paris, where she is getting ready for the French Open, Kvitova called it "good news."

Nadal poking the hornet's nest...

Rafael Nadal thinks viewership should determine men's and women's tennis earnings

Quote

Q: “In tennis, should women earn as much as men?”

Nadal: “It’s a comparison we shouldn’t even make. Female models earn more than male models and nobody says anything. Why? Because they have a larger following. In tennis too, who gathers a larger audience earns more”.

Federer is just one win away from the No. 1 ranking against Kyrgios on Saturday. If he doesn't win tomorrow though, he won't have another chance at it until the late hard court season.

Heck, Federer would have been No. 1 this entire season since Rotterdam if he hadn't blown three match points against del Potro... He and Nadal are extremely close in the rankings.

In Halle, Federer saves two match points against Benoit Paire to advance in a tight thriller. Federer's not in his best form, but now he (should) have a relatively clear draw the rest of the way.

In other news, Djokovic absolutely crushed No. 2 seed Dimitrov in Queens. He's getting better and better by the tournament.

Olga Danilovic v. Anastasia Potapova, two 17-year olds, in the Moscow International final tomorrow morning. First time that’s happened since ‘05, Vaidisova v. Golovin, two hotties that flamed out rather quickly. 

Danilovic has a nice lefty game, already decked out in the good Nike swag.
