Is tanking literally against tournament rules? If so, telling him to stop doing something that violates tournament rules doesn't strike me as out of line.

Genie is warming up and TSN1/4 has the match. Both gals are blonde and are wearing the same kit, tough to tell them apart.

^^Lack of effort is something that can be punished with code violations, but to straight up try and pump a player up? Herbert has every reason to be pissed about that.

Speaking of Nick.....

These two have a history, as Vekic is dating Stan the Man and we all remember what Nick told Stan.....

Three foot faults now and that last one led to a double-fault and a break for Genie to get back on serve.

Yikes. Not the ump’s fault she called a clear foot fault. Passive aggressive glares don’t help your case. Drama central today.

Is it just me or does Genie look pale?

Doesn't look to be moving all that well today, it could be the heat and humidity getting to her. Down a break to start the 2nd set, not looking good at the moment.

Genie needs to pounce here, all of a sudden Vondrousova looks totally disinterested in playing.

Come on, we all know how this movie ends. Kyrgios is gonna beat Federer, and lose the next match in a triple bagel.

You know, usually you let out a primal scream when you've hit a great shot and not when your opponent blasts a routine forehand a foot long.

12 break points given up by Genie. Looks done now, and needs to work on her first serve (48%).

not the first time Lahyani's done this.



PHH would have a better case to appeal if he didn't tank the 4th set 6-0

In a strange way, doesn't that kind of help his case? "Well when Nick was tanking, you pumped him up, but when I tanked, nada."
