2019 Wimbledon Championships

Starts Monday at 5 am on ESPN. 

 

Men's draw

Novak appears to have a pretty cake path, Roger & Rafa get to battle in the bottom. 

 

Women's draw

7 Slam champs in the top quarter, pretty fucking crazy out of 32 names. Big chance for a first time winner like Karolina or Bertens to just survive & advance while everyone else does the dirty work.

Wow lots of upsets this tournament already on the women’s side but kinda predictable. Osaka should be a much better grass court player than she is

Osaka played unbelievably badly. She didn't have any idea how to handle the gentle backhand slices from Yulia, just dumped them into the net everytime.

Well, the top 3 men are the best ever, so that helps. 

Outside of Serena in years past, none of the other women are dominant, & the parity is real. The mental game also buries plenty of the ladies. 

 

THe top three are also old as shit. It's pathetic that young male tennis players haven't been hungry enough to try and knock them off their pedestals. Kyrgios I'm looking at you.

How do the men consistently go deep in virtually every major and many of the elite women struggle and/or get beat early? So disappointed in Osaka. Doesn't make any sense. 

Were you watching in the early 2010s? Back then it was even worse. The last year or so has seen a few ladies emerge as relatively consistent winners, which is a big improvement from those days.

But no one is as consistent as the Fed/Nadal/Djokovic trio.

Kyrgios with the ripper to get the early break in the 2nd and saved a couple break points to hold up 3-0 in 2nd. Got a match now 

Full range of the Kyrgios experience on display already in this match.  I’m hoping he can stay focused enough to avoid the meltdown, because it’s shaping up to be a great one.  Couple of moments where it looked like he was teetering on the edge of a freakout, but he’s keeping it under control enough so far.
