    I can’t believe espn kept trying to compare this incident to the shit Serena pulled against Osaka.
    Once again females ruin everything.
    gotta agree here

    she gets at least 51% of the blame here... if you're standing on a tennis court as a line judge and aren't paying attention to where the ball is at all times then you should be fired... and if you can't get out of the way or put your hand up from that distance on that kind of shot then you should also be fired

My best bets for today are Serena @ -190 (after crushing Sloane I don't see her losing before the Final or if at all) & my best dog is Rublev at +115. Never seem him serve like this b4 & he has the best FH left in the draw. Also not not too bad to get him @ 20-1 to win it all.
    Yeah I was thinking the same thing of putting a wager on him to win it.Totally agree on the forehand comment,as its top notch.One of these last 12 guys is going to become a legend.As far as raw talent why not rublev.

    I don't understand how an old grandma has good enough eye sight to accurately call balls in or out.

    Still not the best way for Djokovic to exit a tournament.
    See him at the French Open.

    I was a goalie and playing street hockey would routinely take slap shots up near that area. It stings for a few seconds and you get over it.

    It's not like they are playing with hockey pucks.

    This is ridiculous. Women don't have Adam's apples. She faked it or she has a penis. Probably closet tranny.

    Sometimes you see $$$ signs. Not saying she did it for that, but I'm sure there's a few of us that may have done the same thing to get a million in our pockets. I don't know. I'm sure she's at the doctor today claiming her neck is broken and there will be a settlement with a big check coming from Novak in her direction.

    I get the rule and all, but there also needs to be common sense with them. Based on this dumb rule, if I lose a game and just hit a bouncy ball towards the sideline and it hits an official in the foot, I can be disqualified? It's just stupid. I think the rule should have violence and intent in there, none of which occurred. He was miffed, but he was nowhere near the outrage you see from 99% of these guys on the court.

    I just keep coming back to the historical aspect of it. If Djokovic finishes one major championship short of Federer, imagine this haunting Djoker the rest of his life. I think if he ever gets one short, he will play until he's 70 to try and tie Fed so it won't be on his conscience the rest of his life.
