Yeah, I work in Zurich more or less every week these days. It's nice but super pricy.

The younger better Zverev brother playing tonite. Kids gonna make the quarters.

I really really want the winner of this thing to be a first time GS winner.

Wait-- Wawrinka crushed a forehand into Klizan's crotch while he was just standing there?

I'd be surprised if he is anything but done at this point.

Stosur out in the first round again, this time to Heather Watson. Saw most of the 2nd and the 3rd set, not a bad match. Watson has alot of variety, some good lobes.

His draw is terrible as well. Tough players the whole way.

There's always the womens or doubles side of things.

I'm liking the new logo's and graphics this year. Even a small thing like making the set winners score blue really makes a difference. You can't really ever go wrong using process blue.

They were talking about 5th set tiebreakers or whether to let the match play out until a break. Letting the match play out is off the table imo but I think bringing in the TB at say 9-9 for the 5th only would add a bit of prestige to the match without prejudicing the players to any great degree going forward.

Yes I like the new logos and graphics too. Quite like whoever the 'new' british guy calling some of the big men's games is as well.

Isner has had 2 match points against that he almost certainly should have lost. This is sick that he is still alive.

In for the lol Isner. That's not even the good Zverev.

Genie made it to round 3. Is there hope for a turnaround of her career?

Every time Isner missed his first serve he was under huge pressure in the late stages of that match

Krygios just smashed his racket and lost a point, then lost the set lol.

It continued a little too much for you in this set then. He lost it 7-5.

really looked like he threw that set.
got broken twice and had a million really terrible unforced errors.

was in total command the 1st set then just fell apart in 2nd set.

with how much square money must get bet on big favs like him to win in straight sets kindv makes you wonder.

not like evans was hitting winners cilic just gave that set away.
