Masarova (playing Sabalenka right now) is quite fit!

She looks fetching in her fuchsia (magenta?) ensemble.

She was also up a break on the screamer, but it has all gotten away from her. She is hitting unforced errors all over the place, but looks lovely doing it. 

A post match shower with these two would be a great way to end the summer.

This gal from the Philippines coming back from down 5-2 in the 3rd, one point away from making it 5-5.

Sabalenka's opponent falling apart in the 2nd set, double faulting away her serve.

Danish chick needs to stop arguing the review and try to win the next points. AND NO SHE DOUBLE FAULTS AWAY HER SERVE, 5-5 IN THE THIRD HAHAHAHAHAHA

Falling to the court after winning a first round match, that isn’t close to your biggest win of the year, should be a fine-able offense.

Good for Eala, she’s good and cute, had the entire crowd behind her, and doesn’t have the most unfortunate chin in all of women’s tennis.

But absolutely fine bitches (WTA & ATP) who fall to the court in the first round after winning the match.

Terrible take.

She's the first women's player from the Philippines to EVER win a match at a major tournament.

It's kind of a big deal.

On LOUIS ARMSTRONG…

Caty McNally looked really good absolutely crushing Jill Teichmann.

She finally looks like the player that you would think would pair with Coco when they were a doubles team.

Apparently she’s had injuries (and maybe an elbow surgery).

I would get a stylist for her hair, because endorsements are more dependable than tournament winnings, especially in tennis.

She’s now talking about 2018 (answering a question) like it was decades ago. 

She’s is now telling us “Time flies, everyone. Enjoy every moment.” (She’s only 23… a wise old 23 year-old.)

Terrible take!

She beat Iga this year and she had the entire stadium behind her. She should have been the betting favorite.

Fine the kid!

(…and retroactively fine Musetti several times over while we’re at it.)

It's really fuckin' painful watching seeded women's players double-fault away points and even games.

Case in point, Wang just went from 15-0 to 15-40 against Navarro without even having to connect with a single ball.

Y. Wang has a really cute little nose that is rare-to-nonexistent for people from her country. 

I may be shallow, but I believe that she has undergone rhinoplasty and I wholeheartedly approve.

Again, sponsors’ checks are much more consistent than tournament organizers’ checks and doing (legal) things to help your tennis career is a savvy move.

That, and she came back from down 5-1 to win 13-11 in a deciding super tiebreaker. Doing it against a top 15 player to boot. She earned the celebration imo.

Also, it's her first ever major 1st round win. In a slam. With a slightly easier couple of opponents ahead of her, having beaten a seed -- only one player in her bracket for the next two rounds is seeded, Mertens at #19. A decent run can be life-changing for a young player like this; she just bashed the door wide open.

Did you know that her country has nearly a billion and a half people with at least 19 major recognized ethnic groups?

I'm guessing you don't know a lot of Chinese people...

57 different ethnic groups 

I know surgically modified noses. 

I remember looking at a group photo of girls from my high school class about 2 years into college and saying:

”Nose job… no… no… 2 nose jobs…Nose & Chin job… no… 3 nose jobs (one initially, one after she walked into a sliding glass door due to poor vision, and the third due to cartilage collapsing and that needing to be fixed…”

For someone who is not a plastic surgeon or a model talent scout, I know what I’m talking about. Sorry if that gets under your skin. 

…and don’t get me started on veneers.

At least, if you include the ones the PRC doesn't officially recognize, yeah. 

Anyway, if she HAS had a rhinoplasty... it hasn't helped much.

MEDVEDEV!!!

Shitty fucking Chair Umpire looking to go home makes a huge mistake in awarding a first serve to Bonzi and now it looks like the crowd is going to push this match to 4, maybe even 5 sets. 
 

FUCK THAT FAT FUCKING CHAIR UMP!!

🎾🖕🎾🖕🎾

Come on Daniiiil!

¡Nein!

If a ball kid chased a ball on the court and he had stopped the 2nd serve, he wouldn’t have been awarded a 1st serve. 

A minor pause, just keep going.

If Bonzi weren’t a piece of shit, he would have just duffed a first serve into the net and the crowd wouldn’t have hated him for the rest of the match.

But now the world hates him. And they are cheering his faults.

MEDVEDEV TAKES THE 3RD SET TIEBREAKER!!

Sure, that's normal in the rhythm of the game.  But it wasn't a kid chasing a ball.  The pause came after Bonzi had already started his second serve sequence and it was an abnormal disruption which lasted longer than normal.

Funny that you should mention a kid chasing a ball.

There was a kid chasing a ball that wasn’t even to his position along the side of the net, much less down and still, when the fat fuck shouted out “First Serve”.

So there was a moving ball kid involved that Bonzi was going to wait to get to his spot and get settled before he actually started his serve.

BONZI WAS NOT IN HIS SERVE MOTION.

So thank you for highlighting the ball kid portion for your flawed response.

Go watch it again.  The chair ump didn't give first serve until well after the ball boy was set and after the cameraman got back into the camera well before saying First Serve.

Bonzi won.

Photographer had his credentials revoked. 

Medvedev had a right to argue but the bullshit before he walked to the chair and afterwards causing a much longer delay was bullshit.  Glad Bonzi won.  Medvedev is a petulant child.

I saw a photo that reminded of one of the girls above back when we were in high school and sent it to her this afternoon.

I asked who the photo looked like. This was her response.

I think that I may have grown up in a different world than some on Surly.
