  • Re: Tennis...Anyone?

    It's Federer in straight sets. Major #19.

    If I had to guess, this is his last major win.

      Let's wait until after this year's US Open first, just in case....

        I can see the old boy bagging his 20th before its all said and done. Don't understand tennis rankings but don't get how he isn't #1 in the world. GOAT beyond a doubt. He didn't lose a freakin' set the whole tournament.

          Nadal won the French Open and probably played in more tournaments up to this point in the year. It's between those 2 for #1 rank for the year. No one else close.

            He only played two grand slams last year and didn't play again after Wimbledon. He actually dropped all the way to 16th before starting again in January.

              Anyone watching the US Open? A crazy match last night with Sharpova knocking Halep out.

                    What a bizarre match. It was almost like Fed was trying to help a fellow Nike wearer. With that being said, no doubt in my mind Tiafoe is next American to win a grand slam. I'm super impressed with him, and not just because of last night.

                      Good lord, Halep is super cute. First female tennis player I've seen in twenty years that didn't look like a praying mantis.

                        Tiafoes backstory is amazing and I can't wait to see him win a big one

                          This is really random but I've actually met a couple girls playing tennis who look just like her. One is a weak 4.5 and the other a solid 5.0. What are the odds of that?

                            Couldn't agree more. There are going to be some fun matches in years to come between him, Zhvarev, and Shapolavov.

                              I'm assuming those are tennis ratings, not Barney Stinson ratings?

                              You need to get after those ladies, sir. That is what this man calls a healthy look.

                              And a pure 5 can get you into the country club to find you're real meal ticket. But I digress.

                                NTRP ratings, do you not use those in the beltway?
