Serena out

She was 5-1 up in the deciding set but lost 6 games in a row. She choked.

Just retire.

Serena got injured tbf.

Still, Murray is done, Serena is almost done, Federer is getting up there, Nadal's body is ravaged.

Meanwhile there are virtually no exciting prospects on the horizon.

Tennis is on the brink.

The sport is legit going to be dead a few years from now.

It was still a bottlejob though.

She had 4 match points when she was 5-4 up and blew it.

She twisted her ankle, but unless you blow out your ACL you should never be losing 6 games in a row.

And yeah, I genuinely think tennis is doomed.

*loses in 3 sets*

6-0 in the last set as well...


Is this the best NextGen can offer? We're going to be watching the big three dominate until they're in their early fifties...

Nadal is awesome....how he came back from that knee injury is incredible. When you think of the stress they put on their knees for all those years, its amazing that any of them can play into their 30's.

Nadal looks like he has the form and confidence to get the better of novak here.

Djokovic absolutely obliterating this pubber.

1h and 15 minutes in and he is two gems away from winning. Light training session.

Both GOATs are in great form. We could have another classic final.

Aye was quite disappointing that :lol:

Standard though, knock a big player out then get smashed next game, happens all too often

Great women's final so far. Osaka should have already won but she choked. She's back in the 3rd set though. Hope she does it.
