If you listen carefully Drysdale has no clue what hes talking about. All he can do is tell you the score and you can take a drink everytime he says Mertens is from Belgium.

Thanks, I think this is the start of the next great tennis rivalry. Before the match they can talk about what they have in common....... losing a 5 set epic against Nadal at the US Open

Another nice win for Genie in Istanbul today as she eliminates top seed and two-time grand slam champ Svetlana Kuznetsova in three sets (7-6 6-7 6-2).
Edit: The WTA announcer on the video below cracks me up (I was waiting for "and boom goes the dynamite")

Bouchard, who won two qualifying matches to get into the main draw, will face world No. 92 Danka Kovinic of Montenegro in her third quarterfinal appearance of the season.
If she loses her next match, Bouchard is projected to rise to No. 216 in the rankings next week. She could move into the top 150 if she wins the second WTA tournament title of her career.

Lest we forget, she is still only 26 years old.

This Brady - Osaka match is some pretty fine tennis as both ladies are crushing the ball.

I'm rooting for Naomi in the final regardless of who wins the second semi-final tonight.

I'll have to go against you. I'm an Vika fan so she'll win twice.

I have a soft spot for Naomi, but I’d be okay with Vika too.
