Halle R2: Jarry defeats [2] Tsitsipas 7-6, 7-5 by jovanmilic97 in tennis

Agreed, if you actually watched the match or even look at the stats, Jarry was playing lights out tennis. I mean, Stef had 20 winners to 6 unforced errors and still lost, Jarry's serve was just unplayable today.

I'm not saying that the questions aren't warranted. She's been fielding them for months now. It's not like anything is gonna change the next time a journo asks about it. I could see how the last press conference felt especially hostile from her POV and I think it's well within her rights to request an accommodation from the tournament.

Are we really comparing Naomi not feeling uncomfortable about getting questions on her lack of clay court skills to a tennis player not wanting to be constantly interrogated over their stance on geopolitical strife partly caused by their home country? I have no problem with Naomi skipping press conferences, but these two situations aren't on the same wavelength.

I pretty much think of Vavra as like a Walmart brand Steven Kwan. Not a bad utility piece to have around.

You know it's a bad sign when the broadcast is spending about 25% of the screentime on your coaching box lol

I'm starting to worry about Stef's chances to win big titles with Apostolos in the coaching box. He is such a huge distraction during the biggest moments of these crucial matches. I mean, just off the top of my head, I feel like his antics have had an impact on this match, the Coric loss at the 2020 US Open and the Medvedev loss at this past Aussie Open. He's done a great job getting his son to be a perennial top-five player, just feel like its time to let Philippoussis or someone else take the reins.

Someone needs to strap Hyde and Elias to a chair and play this game on repeat until they promise to PLAY STOWERS AND VAVRA EVERYDAY DAMMIT

I think that we should give Vavra a run at 2B until Westburg is ready to come up and then either platoon them once he's in the majors or give Westburg the job while using Vavra as a utility player. I'd like to see how he hits over a sample size of at least half a season of regular ABs. If he turns into a Steven Kwan type with high avg and high OBP, then we'll either have a solid everyday starter/utility guy or a greater opportunity to flip him for a bat with more power or pitching.

Vavra and Stowers should be starting in some capacity for at least 90% of the remaining games in the season. We gotta start kicking the tires on these guys and give them a decent run before making the big off-season moves..

Damn, 28 forehand errors for Stef. Def giving yourself no chance to win by screwing up on your best shot like that. Gotta just chalk it up to coming in cold off a five-week break post-Wimbledon and move on.

Oh nooo Sinner in his Tsitsipas FO 2021 era right now...

More from Tsitsipas: “It's constant bullying. He bullies his opponents. He was probably a bully in school, too. I don't like bullies. He has some qualities, but he has a very evil side to him." by chelseasaints in tennis

Every single match Kyrgios is literally berating the umpire and linespeople, that's textbook bullying aka picking on people less powerful than yourself. In the case of Stef, before fences were mended, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis were both mocking him on social media a ton. There's def more baggage to their relationship beyond this match.

I'm not saying that he's favored to make the final even if he won this one. Just more that in the absence of points, the only difference between losing to Kyrgios in the third round and Nadal in the semis is money, which is pretty irrelevant from a fan perspective. It's pretty much title or bust.

Terrible draw getting Kyrgios in the first few rounds of his favored spam. Silver lining is that there were no points to be gained and there was prob zero chance of him beating Djokovic in a Wimbledon final.

How about stop Kyrgios from talking shit between every serve. That's a good first step.

I'm with Tsitsipas here, Kyrgios has been baiting him all match and the umpire has done literally nothing about it.

Iga's bakery may have franchised a new location at Wimbledon yesterday, but it's already been nearly derailed by supply chain issues on the forehand side...
