I read this earlier and it’s a decent way to spend ten minutes...

I second what Lizzie said, any other decade he’d have cleaned up, but he’s a great in an era of immortals.

Wawrinka was a fabulous player not as consistent as the other four don’t know whether that’s down to injuries or loss of form but when he was on it he could blow anyone away which is what tended to happen when he won a slam as he won three of the four finals he played in 

Yes, Wawrinka at his very best was just about unbeatable

[Dr Nowt]

Crane legs has grown into his first slam final brilliantly and is giving Perry Farrell the run around at this point. A set and two breaks up in the second. The kiss of death, no doubt.

[Dr Nowt]

2 sets to love.

[Stickman]

Djokovic feigning injury incoming ….

[Dr Nowt]

Ominous turning of the tide.

[Dr Nowt]

Quelle surprise.
 

Some sportsman this fucker.

[Trumo]

Djokovic comes back from 2 sets down to beat Tsitsipas and claim his second French Open title. He's now on 19, just one behind Federer and Nadal on the all-time list. Unlike those two though, he's won every Grand Slam at least twice.

[Captain Howdy]

The GOAT. His brain is made of tungsten steel 

[Stickman]

Fair fucks to Djokovic the guy just never knows when he’s beat , he just relentlessly wears the other guy down…

And at the end you wouldn’t even think he’d just played 5 sets in over 4 hours.

 

You have to fancy him to surpass both Rafa and Roger’s tally of 20

Murray and Tsitsipas into a deciding set in New York. Live on Amazon Prime.

Seems Tsitsipas is a big fan of the Djokovic playbook.

An 8 minute toilet break is pretty shit…Even if it wasn’t a pretty shit

 

Should have been docked at least a game

Nah I'm on Tsitsipas' side here. Shitclocking and subsequent shitshaming is the snide behaviour of a shithouse.

 

Poop on Stefanos, may your colon be empty and pristine.

Notorious for it isn’t he.

 

There was another tournament where he went for a toilet break, his old man could be seen texting from the coaching box, then when he came back out he suddenly played with totally different tactics to those he’d used previously. Several other players have commented on him doing it in the past.

 

Thats what Murray and co are alluding to isn’t it; they’re convinced he’s being coached while he’s off court which is completely against the rules, plus of course the massive disruption to his opponent cooling down mid-match and in Murray’s case then needing to serve cold after such a big disruption.

Ha. Don’t think he’s proposing having a camera pointing up from the toilet to track how long it takes other player’s logs to hit the water, with penalties if it’s over a set time, but you never know.
 

Could play them live inside the court like they do challenges, with the crowd oohing and aahing as they wait for the system to confirm which way it’s gone. 
 

Call it Browneye.

[Remmie]

Justice.

[sir roger]

Emma Radacanu , as Henry Blofeld might say ' By Jove I think we have found one '. 

 

 

[Moo]

Wow, some of these young ladies coming through look really exciting, Fernandez and Raducanu looking great over the last few days (and fingers crossed for the latter tomorrow).  The women's game has needed a boost for a while and they may have just arrived, the US Open being the perfect stage to showcase themselves on.

Shoutout all the young Canadian players. No idea how it's happened but we have a couple of good ones. Shapovalov and Aliassime. Andreescu and Fernandez.

Jean Valjean was the last person to get this much grief for pinching a loaf. 

 

I'm with Remmie on this one, a man's gotta shit, and like making good wine - it takes as long as it needs to. I've had shits that took so long there was a actually a new President by the time I finished wiping. 

 

[Bjornebye]

Can we get back to the women please 

[Stickman]

Raducanu through to the.quarters after brushing aside American Shelby Rogers 6-2 6-1 

Definitely the real deal is this girl.
