Tennis 2022

[rhythmbandit]

High quality match between two players who could well end up with plenty of grand slams between them.



Jack has had a great year, he'll be top 20 at some point next year.

Team GB getting through to the semi finals of the BJK Cup was quite the gag after looking down and out after their first match up against Kazakhstan.

Big surprise, especially with how comfortably Heather won. Australia next, I'm pretty certain they can beat them too.

Certainly beatable... but still gonna be a tough match up

That was a really tough loss - could have won all 3 of those matches really. Storm Sanders played brilliantly all day thoughl

[Dark Carnival]

Not sure anything is confirmed. Too worried it’ll turn out to be another sick hetero joke.

 

[Ill Advised]

Quite possibly. Reboul is pretty though

 

[Tisch]

Saw this last night and from what I've read today it seems more like someone coming out without feeling the need to "come out", in which case fucking good for them!

If not, then meh but I think it's real!

Sinner's come back from 2 sets down to win the Australian Open was quite something. Great to see him fulfilling his potential

Did we really not have any tennis posts in 2023?

 

[passthatdutch]

Seems there was a 2023 thread but I didn't notice as it was lower down

 

[wildchild]

It was cancelled when Djokovic reached #22

The first half really was a terrible match. Was the second half actually better?

 

[Apoca]

The first half was a good match thanks to Medvedev, the second half was a good match thanks to Sinner.

No surprise that Daniil ran out of steam and nice to see Sinner get the job done.
Main thing is: Zverev stays slamless.

That's the second time Medvedev has been 2 sets up in a slam final and lost in 5.

I only saw from mid second set and thought it was a good match overall. Daniil played the most sets in any slan apparently, kinda felt for him losing in a final again.

Long may the Zverev slam title drought continue....

 

[BoysForSeles]

Only saw the 5th set as was out training but I’m glad Sinner backed up his semi final victory. In the past he’s often,relatively, flopped straight after a win over Djokovic or Alcaraz.

Not really a Sabalenka fan but can’t begrudge her a 2nd slam, she feels worthy of another.

Best match of the fortnight that I saw was the semi final in the women’s doubles between Mertens/Hsieh v Hunter/Siniakova. Incredible that Su-Wei has come back and holds 3 of the 4 slam titles with different partners currently and that she did the doubles double in Melbourne.

 

[Apoca]

Su-Wei is an absolute legend on and off the court. Even if she wrapped up her single career, I do hope she sticks around a little longer for doubles and mixed - and why shouldn't see, looking at her haul over the course of the past few months.
