Talk About Tennis 2.0

Btw Shanghai is listed as the FASTEST court on the tour...though I wonder if this year Cincy might take that title...

Will it stop raining soon - they played matches today at an indoor facility to keep the tournament from really going off the schedule.

i think he plays Medvedev next...

Absolutely not a given that Medvedev will win. He himself degraded quite a bit.

That was intense.
And he did not toss the ball to serve it.
We are one bad temper away from somebody attacking an umpire. Good for Tiafoe that he apologized, but if he gets fined, he earned it.

I guess today was tantrum day in Shanghai

Guess so...

Maybe Kyrigos ragging on the umps every chance he gets commentating to being quoted doesn't help.
