The Tennis Thread 2013

And now Sharapova's been upset. What a crazy 24 hours at Wimbledon. A match between her and Williams may have been interesting considering the recent drama surrounding those two.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Sharapova joins the long list of players heading home today. At this rate I think Federer is going to lose just because today seems to be that kind of day.

Federer in a battle with STAKHOVSKY(who?).

highlights

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well now, Federer locked in a real battle, only 5 break points in two sets and no breaks. Could be looking at a bunch of 7-6 sets.

I blame YOU for Fed's inability to break this guy

[Senator Clay Davis]

You can blame me now for sure. Stakhovsky serves for the 3rd set. The wildest day in recent Grand Slam history without a doubt.

[GirlySports]

well well...

[Senator Clay Davis]

Federer serving at 74% and down 2 sets to 1. Hmmm.....

[Senator Clay Davis]

And goodnight Roger, down a break in the 4th. Nadal fans have to be on cloud nine right now.

[Inglewood Jack]

oh god a decade's worth of QFs...swirling down the drain along with the rest of the Wimbledon draw

[Senator Clay Davis]

I would say cancel the rest of Wimbledon and just give us Djokovic-Murray and Serena-whoever, but if today has shown us anything...

[D to the iddy]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Well now hopefully Murray can win it in front of the home crowd.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The streak is over. 36 straight QFs and someone we've all never heard of ends it, of course.

[Inglewood Jack]

is there another sport I can pick up...cause hockey and tennis together are going to cut my lifespan in half.

[Mango]

What on earth has happened today?!

[Senator Clay Davis]

And all this Wimbledon wildness is still only the second biggest story of the day. Craziest sports day I can remember.

[jofillips]

now that was awesome viewing - thank goodness a lot of usual the suspects have gone!
This makes for a much more interesting Wimbledon....

[bigtmac19]

Meh, I don't even want to bother watching now. I'm truly disappointed.

[GirlySports]

This is now the obliterated bottom half of the women's draw.

One of these women will make the Wimbledon final where they will lose to Serena in about 5 minutes.
