I am usually pretty indifferent towards athletes that are showmen and don’t care. I’ve never been the old man yelling at clouds, especially since I find Deion’s three ring circus at Colorado entertaining. However, Djokovic was absolutely slaughtering Shelton start to finish and Novak was standing there watching celebrations the entire match. He watched the young fella throw tantrums throughout the match as well. It was embarrassing to watch just as a fan, much less anyone associated with him that had to watch the immaturity on display. He gave off a strong entitled douchebro vibe which, yes, is harsh to say, but that is how Shelton came across yesterday. So yes Novak was more than justified in making fun of him. I do not care much for Djokovic as Alcaraz is why I pay attention to men’s tennis. Shelton decided to poke the bear for two solid hours and he got owned throughput the match and with the post match celebration.
Interesting. I wasn’t able to watch the match yesterday until I caught the end of the 3rd set when it was pretty entertaining. I’ve watched a decent amount of Shelton matches this season and don’t remember any entitled tantrums (beyond the normal tennis player stuff).
He does come off as bro at times but I love his game.
I thought an apt punishment for the loser of the Tiafoe-Shelton match would be that they are relegated to wearing shirts with sleeves for a year. -

I don’t blame him at all for doing that. Shelton deserved more than that, but that was really funny.
Ha. What do you think Shelton fully deserved for his celebration infractions?
Novak should at least have the balls to own up to it…”I thought it was really cool, I copied him”. Same Novak story - still mad the crowd doesn’t love him like Roger and Rafa and is apparently miffed that the NY crowd was pumped on a 20 year old American newcomer in his 1st year on tour.
Meanwhile Shelton said if you win you should be able to celebrate how you want.
Maybe Ben should adopt the shirt rip and expose his nipples off for all to see. -
Put a gag on him and leave him there until the morning.-

she's slow playing everything. Gauff has the same distance, playing the same points. she knows where the towel is and knows the clock starts(or should start) after the score. the ump should be on her more if anything.
Yeah it’s her strategy. Everyone does it when it’s in their favor. Even Novak got a warning recently (maybe Wimbledon?).
Gauff likes to play fast. So she’s trying to slow everything down, even on that bullshit challenge that Gauff laughed at. -
this german chici is annoying...
I agree with her about the towel thing though. You have to have some discretion, especially when the game is going on for so long.
I like her strategy. She’s going for it all. Entertaining for sure.-

Pretty far from the UpperWestside. : )
I went last year and watched the practice courts for a few hours. It’s a good time. And yeah the weather is perfect right now.-

I just can’t believe this match. That 10th service game was maybe the best I’ve ever seen. Certainly worth the price of admission on its own.

Good lord Alcaraz. He hasn’t been playing his greatest tennis this week but man he pulls those insane shots out on the regular.

Anyone subscribe to Tennis Channel Plus? I pulled the trigger on TennisTV to try it out. It’s great except it’s only men’s tennis.
I’ve heard nothin but horror stories about TC+…poor quality streams, glitchy app, etc. -

I got TennisTV and watched both Atlanta and DC. Fritz has been playing really well and I’m not a Fritz fan at all. It’s one thing to do it in a 250 or 500 but I’ve only seen him wilt in slams.
Jinxed. -

Novak’s was great. Gracious, honest about being disappointed, and had perspective about his career and close wins that could’ve been losses. Carlos is a 20-yo Spaniard without the press polish of a vet like Novak. They were both good post-match interviews and understandable from the kid’s perspective.
Yeah Novaks was more funny at the end looking at his kids and saying something like “I will give you a hug and we can all love each other.” He was obviously emotional from the match and then having to endure a runner up interview I think he was ready to take the last photos and leave. -
Speeches are not these guys area of expertise.

Something happen with SKKRF? I’m not in it, but I noticed it’s invalid on my watchlist.
