Gulbis seems to get this weird pass where people otherwise on the right side of things think he's a charming doofus

i'd guess Nishikori will take care of him on monday

apparently he barely trained for Wimbledon so his fitness will probably catch up with him

Welp. I was worried this was gonna happen! Insane match. Props to Kevin Anderson.

hello darkness my old friend

been a while since we saw a 5-set collapse from Fed. Really though, something clicked in Anderson in sets 4 and 5. He was untouchable on his serve.

fingers crossed for a delpo win now that fedal IV is out of question.

Serena probably wins on Saturday but Kerber plays power hitters really well, seems to run into more trouble when up against other defensive players like herself

i love Serena and all but kinda cheering for Kerber here because so many people have written her off

damn it's the later game, no way am i getting up early to watch Isner/Anderson before work

the other reason i'm cheering for Kerber is because in my grandiose plan Serena will tie Margaret Court by winning slam #24 at the US Open and then overtakes her with #25 in Australia on Margaret Court Arena in front of her bigoted ass

Holy fuck I just got around to watching the fifth set of Delpo/Nadal. Managed to stay unspoiled until my mom casually said "Djokovic/Nadal tomorrow!" two games in

I'm sorry del. There's nothing in the rulebook that says a 7' man can't play tennis.

If Isner wins this game/the match then it will be Anderson's 9/11

It would be great if they both just said "eh, who cares" and then retired (from tennis).
