When people politard outside of politard threads everyone loses. Similar to how GBR lost to USA#1 the past two days.

Women's tennis definitely providing value for money overall. People with tickets for today will have been delighted.

Entire complexion of that match changes if Konta gets that break late in the first but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I'd love to know the percentages especially with woman that earn a break point to potentially serve for the set, don't break and immediately drop serve the next game.

It was 4 all *15-40 with Venus serving in the first set. That was the small window and it closed quickly.

Kind of annoying that they schedule the 2 men's semi's so they overlap and you can't really watch both.

Super dumb scheduling given they basically have a whole mens semi final day.

With Murray out and Konta still in as of this morning, tennis was practically the only sport in the entire paper today.

With Konta eliminated by Williams today, it'll be all tennis tomorrow morning as well.

The schedule I'm looking at has them both on Center Court, would the second one not start after the first one finishes? Or am I missing something?

I don't know what schedule you're looking at but this has never been the case in the past and isn't the case this year. All singles semi-finals have been played (or at least scheduled to be played - there might have been some weather issues before the roof) on centre court since forever.

The top wheelchair guys are really good. I'm curious how they'd do v. top guys/women with two serves/doubles court advantage (as well two bounces).

If Querrey gets through this might be a Phillipousis flashback for Fed.

Querrey is boring as hell and i hate watching him play but I do admire how he takes almost no time between service points. Would be completely unbearable if he took as much time as most

Not sure how Querrey gets described as boring when he plays an aggressive game and has actually looked rather nice on the BH side (his weakest side) all tournament.

I don't like the guy but that's a harsh assessment. Are you sure you didn't mean Isner?
