Zero chance against Sinner, but FAA playing like everyone expected him to five years ago definitely random. This has probably been his worst year on tour since he started doing anything.

Excited for Anisimova/Osaka.

Going to be in Athens with my wife and kids for about three days and Rhodes for 5 for a wedding.

Any recommendations?

I assume you already blocked off a morning where you buy a cheap basketball, play on the Giannis court and then go to the cafe to look at memorabilia? If not, as a Bucks fan it is cool side quest and probably my favorite part of going to Athens. See a different area of the city instead of where there is mass tourism.

Weird and weirdly entertaining match so far.

Pegula/Sabalenka was great earlier.

I really enjoyed the Archeology museum and the Agora. If its your first time in Athens obviously the Parthenon is worth it. Lefteris O Politis was the best Gyro I had. Ristorante Atlantikos was good and in the center and pretty affordable.

Hire an off rhodes vehicle for Athens, the opposite for Rhodes.

Anisimova's backhand is so **** good.

Why on Earth is this match on this late? :lol:

Damn fun match. Biggest forehand vs biggest backhand in the final, Wimbledon semis rematch.

Just 1 more win to complete the Wimbledon double bagel redemption arc, come on Amanda

I am in Dunedin Florida for the week, just north of Clearwater.

Drinking good beers tonight and having fun.

It amazes me how every single place here charges for water

Omg FAA looks amazing out there, straight up overpowered Sinner in the 2nd set

Turk Nowitzki · Post #715 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sat Sep 6, 2025 1:04 am

FAA completely on fire to win the 2nd set and very conveniently Sinner is in need of medical timeout. :roll:

The minute Sinner stops playing video game level tennis the announcers can't stop talking about how he must be injured rather than give Felix credit for how well he's playing.

Every time. Against Dimitrov at Wimbledon it was his elbow. Against Carlos at Cincy it was an illness. Now an ab injury. Whenever he loses or is facing pressure it's never that his opponent is playing well, it has to be that he's hurt or ill.

He's about to win this set 6-2 and they legit will not shut up about him being injured :lol:

ESPN has needed to overhaul their tennis commentary team for years. They continue to cling to some of these older people (men and women) who are just not very good at the job anymore.

MikeIsGood · Post #720 » by **MikeIsGood** » Sat Sep 6, 2025 2:24 am

I don't care what happens (I do), but this is the FAA we wanted five years ago. It's really nice to see.
