Jez is crushed because now he has to wait a little longer to be a trophy husband.

With legs like his he's always been a trophy husband.

Too many friends of mine would put me up there with the dentist that shot the lion for riding an elephant (their stance is its cruel). So i never did it over there, but I'm ultra jealous and I can't imagine how excited your daughter must me to be a little child on top of a friggin elephant.

We didn't trade for Russell Westbrook?

I did go up to Mt Buller but firstly our farmstay did not have the anticipated open fire and then secondly our dog sled ride got cancelled as there was no snow.

My wife went for a her first job interview after finishing study and didn't get it. We got smashed in the cricket. So yeah, just the first sentence?

She shouldn't be too disheartened- Art's prefers to hire ladies working their way through school, not really ones who have finished.

Speaking of bad news....There's been some unfortunately developments in downtown Milwaukee

Just looked that up. Wild.

Bautista Agut is not backing down from Djokovic. Just took the second set, and has opened up the third set with a spectacular point.

I think Novak will win obviously, but nice to see some fight.

Just me or is Novak looking a little slow out there? Granted I only picked it up early second set.

The thought crossed my mind, but less so due to something I saw, and more so due to the fact that he actually looks challenged.

Yea, it's been a fun match. That backhand whiff just now by Novak..

EDIT: **** what a rally there

I haven't seen anything off with Djokovic, Bautista Agut is just matching his level off the ground. They have both been incredible in the rallies, just not missing any balls.

MikeIsGood · Post #151 » by **MikeIsGood** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:30 pm

What a game to open this fourth set, holy cow.

Bucksfan28 · Post #152 » by **Bucksfan28** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:32 pm

Damn, Bautista. Impressive.

Aaaaand just like that it's over.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #154 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:54 pm

Too consistently good from Djokovic, amazing that only three guys can sustain that highest level time after time out of all the tennis players on the planet.

Rooting for Federer to win but I'm not sure he can beat Djokovic in a final. Djokovic/Nadal would probably be the better matchup.

MikeIsGood · Post #155 » by **MikeIsGood** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:00 pm

I mean, I know it's obvious, but my fandom aside - I 10,000% want a rematch of last year's Novak v Rafa Wimbledon semi. Bring it on.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #156 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:13 pm

It's going to be another big turning point for tennis history over the next couple days. If Nadal can conquer Federer and Djokovic to win #19, he is in the absolute drivers seat moving forward to take the record given how he still dominates everyone at the French Open. If Roger wins #21, he keeps a 3 title lead on Rafa, and a 6 title gap between him and Djokovic which puts them both on the clock given their ages.

Man, reliving the 2008 final is something. That was such an incredible match; the rivalry had already been established, and Rafa had at this point already proven he was the clear #2 player in the world overall and not just a clay court specialist (third consecutive final at Wimbledon, was steamrolling people), but that win felt like validation of the rivalry. It was a harbinger of what was to come.

Indeed.

Won't be mad with either though. I love me some Fed.

The USWNT is playing in St. Paul on September 3rd and I am 100% not gonna miss that.

Huge tiebreak for Federer. I don't like his chances playing from behind.
