That's such a shame then, because it looks and feels more like a Challenger than a WTA tournament...let alone a Grand Slam :( 

 

The stadium will fill up latter on (lunch ain't over yet...). But, yeah it's a shame and likely not going to change anytime soon. Last year, the stadium was not even filled up for the beginning of the Tsonga semi final

Well that was a wonderful match :cheer:

 

Bertens clearly was enjoying the match, often smiling and everything. Besides, she gave the best player of the last 10-15 years a very, very tough time and had an absolutely stunning run at RG. Well done Kiki :bowdown:

Go Stan and Muguruza, please save tennis! :fingers:

Hopefully Stan will defend his title and Muguruza has to stop Serena from winning her 22nd title, the record belongs to Steffi! :thumbup:

Stan-Djokovic and Serena-Muguruza would be the finals that almost everyone hoped for, we are almost there ... :cool:

 

Mens junior tournament has reached the quarterfinal stage and the 2 favourites are (in my opinion) two guys born in 2000! :yikes:

Nicola Kuhn, who sadly now plays for Spain :cry:, will play against his former german teammate Marvin Möller and Felix Auger Aliassime has already beaten 14th seed Olivieri from Argentina. Shapovalov, also from Canada, has already reached the semifinal by beating number 1 seed Tsitsipas from Greece. The 4th semifinalist is Blancaneaux from France. Canada has an amazing future on the mens side with Auger Aliassime and Shapovalov, Auger Aliassime might become the youngest junior slam champion in a very long time with just 15 years and 9 months. Kuhn just turned 16, so he would also be a very young champion. I think Kuhn and Auger Aliassime will fight for slam titles on senior level in 6-8 years, Kuhn couldve become really important for german tennis together with Zverev ... :(:cry:

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Good post-match interview for Bertens: "It's a shame but I'm mostly really proud of myself." 

Exactly how she should be thinking now, she absolutely deserved her place in the semi's with very good play and she should indeed be really proud of what she has done :)

    • Snow and wind in Ruka this morning, so the scheduled Ski Jumping round was cancelled - good news is that they did manage a provisional round yesterday, so that's going to be used as the base for the race later this afternoon.     Nightmare for Ilves  who won in Norway last week - he starts in dead last place, down among the dead men in the Wave.    Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined Provisional Round Ruka (FIN)    
    • Interesting remark by the  Comms - apparently FIS have restructured their definitions of Cross Country wins, to reduce the impact of all those semi-wins in stage races with a start advantage, so Johaug is now put on 82 wins.   Obviously prompted by Shiffrin on 99....
