Tsitsipas is amazing. He can't stop improving

After beating Novak, he continued his amazing tournament and defeated Zverev.

He will be playing in semifinal tonight against Anderson.

A good read about how good this kid is, coming from Greg Rusedski.

Quote

The former world no. 4 and former Wimbledon semi-finalist Greg Rusedski praised Stefanos Tsitsipas after his three-set win over the Serb Novak Djokovic in Toronto. Rusedski compared Tsitsipas to some of the greatest tennis players of the past and present. 'He reminds me a little bit of Bjorn Borg,' Rusedski said analyzing Tsitsipas' great result. 'He does all the right things, he is spectacular as a tennis player and was just sensational with the way he was so calm and composed and he didn't blink when it came to the crunch. This is a rare occasion where Djokovic failed to break serve and only created two break points in total - impressive - and as for the Next Gen, Tsitsipas has arrived along with Alexander Zverev. He has the competitive nature of Andy Murray, but he also has a calmness which reminds me of Roger Federer. Take nothing away from Tsitsipas, this is probably the biggest win of his career. It's great to have one of the guys from the next generation announce himself because it's all been about Zverev. Now Tsitsipas has put his name on the mix.'

Another player we need to put on our radar. I wouldn't be surprised if he continue to make a run and going on the finals. So many young blood pumping tennis right now that the veterans really need to catch up with this younger generations hehehe.

Yes there is a lot of young talent in tennis right now however the veterans just keep winning the Grand Slams as that is what the Veterans mainly aim for when it comes to tournaments. We saw this in the lead up to the French Open where it looked like the young talent would actually win but once again a veteran wins and same with Wimbledon. Lets see what happens this time around in the US Open which starts Monday. I can't wait!

What I love about Tsisipas is his mental strength , we have seen young talents like Shapovolov , Kyrgios and many more but they aren't consistent and their mental strength is weak when compared to Tsisipas , I would love to see this guy win more matches against top players and make his name in Tennis

Its gonna be him v Nadal and I guess the latter will win .

Yeah, you are right. Bouchard is good example of that. But, to be honest, she was kinda too hot for tennis Tongue

. And when she realised she could be model, her tennis downfall started.
Well Olga is just 17, lets see what happens.

I don't know about you guys, but when I encounter "hot" sportswomen, I almost automatically don't rate them too highly. I know it's sexist perhaps, but then if I consider that I also feel the exact same way about metrosexual footballers like Ronaldo, then perhaps it's just a prejudice I have against good looking people (being pretty fugly myself).

I mean, if they're spending all that time looking good, they should be allowed to. But I'd back the consummate professional any day over someone with an eye on their looks.

Oh and, lost my tennis bet today. Oliveira just gave the game away to Sousa so easily.

They are allowed to choose their profession, of course. But, obviously, they need to sacrifice something. It is pretty clearly what sacrifice has she made.

Eh, you should have made bet on Klizan. He was easy one today. And odd wasn't bad at all (@1.60).

I think Martin Klizan is on fire and is producing magnificent performances lately. I was convinced about him when he was able to beat D. Thiem 4 days ago and i also missed the chance to bet yesterday as i was occupied all day.

He has been unstable for his whole career. Although, he managed to play whole one tournament in constant shape.
His final match was pretty easy to predict though. Too bad you didn't have time yesterday. Good opportunity wasted. Sad

Olga Danilović managed to win her first title in professional tennis after win against Potapova 2:1. It was very tough match but Olga was more calm and finished that match.

Olga became first player born in this century to win a title. Also, she became the youngest lady who won any title on WTA Tour.

I might be boring with all this but I think we are witnessing a birth of a new star. Cheesy

Yes this is a huge achievement for someone so young to win their first title. She does look like she will be a top player but the question is can she continue to go on with it. We have seen so many players with talent winning great matches but can never go onto becoming that star player. One that comes to mind for me is Eugenie Bouchard who looked to become a star player but has since drop out of the top players in Women's tennis. I think if Olga can stay fit and healthy then she has a huge chance at being the best one day.

Hello guys, took a tennis parlay yesterday which won, breaking my terrible losing streak in football (tennis has that touch for me, call it a gut feeling or whatever!).

Looking at just the Sousa/Oliveira game today, liking Sousa a lot but ML odds aren't great so going for a over 20.5 @1.85 instead: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=LoD4F%2B2UVm2UjDjycx9eSb9mylR07hEVaV5df4B9d8Q%3D

I guess the rumor is true. Murray withdraw after a grueling match that lasted in the morning. It seems that his body has not totally healed after all. But its a good decision, he has still a lot of tennis years ahead of him so its better not to force his body because he just came from a hip injury. The past 3-4 days for him was really exhausted and maybe his body is telling him to take it easy as he might re-injured and end his career.

Absolutely. Part of being a true professional is knowing your own body. I know sports injuries personally and was stupid enough when much younger to play through the pain, with regret years later. We can wait for him to come back and give us great tennis later.

I saw Murray playing against Edmund and he is still far from being 100%. Lets hope that everything improves well and that he doesn't retire which would be a pitty for the tennis.

There was news circulating that he might withdraw in the Citi Open because it was around 3 am when he finished a match against Copil. He complained about the schedule that caused his match to start around midnight. Maybe there's a reason for the delay. Or perhaps he is not used to play this late. Murray is still on a lot of emotional stress as evident of his crying after winning the match.

Lets hope Murray can get through this difficult time in his life and keep fighting on as it would be a shame to see such a player to retire now. However getting over a hip injury must be tough so I can see why he is thinking about retiring as he needs to look more after his body in the long term future. Lets just hope it all goes well for him.

I didn't know he had a injury so I'm bit surprised but I'll be devastated if he is to retire he's my top 3 favourite guys and I don't want him to. I understand he has a injury but I do hope he'll find it in him to stay there, maybe take a break from sports and then come back, but then as a athlete and as a family person his need to protect his body is also justified.

He has been away for nearly a year so you knew it was something he had to have time to fully heal and the hip is as back on a tennis player as knee or elbow injury.
Especially Murray because he makes those awkward shots where he twists his whole upper body and comes down hard on his lower body.
I wouldn't want to be a tennis player's physio therapist.
That's for sure. Cheesy

Believe me , these players physio therapist earn a lot and get to travel all over the world

Its a dream job for any physio .
I was a bit emotional too after that match , I just want him back playing his great tennis . I love him as a person and as an athlete .

This time, it looks like Andy Murray is on the comeback zone as well, winning 3-6 6-4 7-5 over Mackenzie McDonald at Citi Open. He's been out for almost a year if I'm not mistaken and we do hope that this is the start of Andy on the winning trail again. We have seen Novak Djokovic do it this year, winning Wimbledon eventually and it was really emotional for him. So let's see if Murray can do it as well, and it makes tennis more exciting again as the top 4 would be healthy and battling it out for the top spot.

Quote

Britain's Andy Murray beat Mackenzie McDonald 3-6 6-4 7-5 in the Washington Open's first round in his fourth match following hip surgery in January.

Murray, 31, converted his seventh match point after more than two-and-a-half hours on court against the American.

"Mentally, it was a big one to get through," said former world number one Murray. "I fought hard and I had to. The movements and stuff were fine"

It is indeed nice to see Murray back on the tennis court! Lets hope he can stay fit and than we have some interesting times before us.
The big 4 ( or 5 if you count Wawrinka) are still dominating the grand slams!

Oh I totally forgot Stan. LOL. Going back to Andy again, he said he's thinking of retirement because he has doubts that he can came back after getting a hip surgery. Its really hard to think that those high level athletes are still human after all. They go through a lot of ups and down and even questioning themselves.

Quote

'You do think about ‘what if I can’t come back, what if this is the end?’ and think about what you are going to do with yourself. I have been playing tennis my whole life. This is all I have known, so it will be a big change when I do stop, but I always felt like I would be able to come back. It is obviously not where I would want to be ranking-wise but the good thing is, when you are up at the top of the game, it is not easy just to move up one spot. If I win a couple of matches here, I could move up 300, 400 spots in a week, which is nice. Hopefully I can get back up quickly but it sort of feels like I am starting from scratch again. Obviously I have not been in that position since I was 18. It is going to be hard but it should be fun', said Murray.

https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Andy_Murray/58328/andy-murray-opens-up-on-living-hell-i-considered-retirement/

If he can overcome this obstacles, then I'm sure it will be a good thing for him more on a personal level. He should take inspirations from his fellow tennis star like Djokovic as well so that he can get past that emotional stage.
