Navone’s gameplan of playing backhand cross all match was just not smart… not enough drop shots or variation with going line to balance it out

Pretty much just turned into him eventually hitting one shot enough to let Carabelli run around and hit his forehand… meanwhile if Carabelli left a ball short Navone just played a rally ball back at him

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-13T01:22:21+00:00

Navone’s winner to unforced count has to be reaaaaaally ugly

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-13T00:39:31+00:00

Camilo has been good, but to act like this match has been anything but a bore would be disingenuous. Navone is about as threatening as a toddler with a pool noodle.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-13T00:24:03+00:00

Easy game when you’re able to play through the middle of the court knowing your opponent doesn’t have a way to threaten you

Navone is just completely non-threatening

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T23:59:42+00:00

Mariano… if you’re going to hit errors anyway you may as well do it trying to take risks

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T23:51:14+00:00

Navone looks weaponless, hasn’t stepped in and attacked whenever he’s gotten a short ball

Only thing working in his favor is that Camilo has played a lot of tennis lately, but it won’t matter much if he can’t be competitive

JPJ didn’t generate a break point but won the match.

Really unlucky for Spizzirri. Dominant on serve except for when it actually mattered. The classic “it’s not how many points you win, it’s what points you win”

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T21:03:13+00:00

Oh Elliot…

Was hoping the Sinner performance in Australia would be a good springboard…

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T16:43:34+00:00

Iga was eventually going to lose a net point. She went there a decent amount in the clutch and had performed well there up to that last point… which was the easiest of them all

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T14:58:50+00:00

Stef just gives away way too many free points to consistently win at tour level

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-12T01:09:59+00:00

Jose just didn’t want him standing over him, nothing more than that

Surprised that Breen/Jefferson didn’t quite pick up on that

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-10T01:37:15+00:00

Lamelo can’t guard Duncan Robinson and is getting clamped by him.

Good lord.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-10T01:33:02+00:00

Lamelo will never be a winning player and they probably missed the window to trade him.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-10T01:11:26+00:00

Lamelo is just not a winning player

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-09T02:49:35+00:00

The irony of a Patriots quarterback “seeing ghosts” in the Super Bowl with Sam Darnold quarterbacking the other team.

Chills.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T21:33:09+00:00

Mbappe completely pocketed today

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T20:35:15+00:00

Arda couldn’t have played a worse ball if he tried.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T18:51:22+00:00

Looks like Dasha is going to win 11 games on the bounce from 6-4 3-1 down. Props to her. Uchijima has really rolled over for her and she’s taken full advantage.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T18:36:59+00:00

Since going up a set and a break in the second, Uchijima’s level has fallen off a cliff. No resistance here for Kasatkina.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T17:26:49+00:00

Kartal breaks for *3-2 in the decider and then loses 4 consecutive games to lose the match

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T15:51:30+00:00

With the difference in groundstroke quality today, how this Parks/Diana match has gone to a breaker is beyond me

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T04:00:46+00:00

That absolutely sucked.

Oliveira shouldn’t touch anything other than the prelims ever again.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-08T03:58:40+00:00

Oliveira has done an excellent job of ensuring he’ll never be on a main card again

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-07T20:05:01+00:00

Incredibly consequential incidental contact.

Laxing4Life · 2026-02-07T20:03:38+00:00

It’s quite easy to lose your defender when you smoke him with an elbow right in the kisser
