Break a piece for the Williamseseses.

Was the Goat and Gemma on the base line?

Either Goat or Doppelganger in one if the replays of Serena breaking her racquet.

Serena at least seems to mean it. Not relaxed at all. One tennis bat down
One warning.

Apparently yes, but it could be fake news or alternative facts:

No surprise at the result and Serena really does want to be the GOAT of tennis. She is probably there now.

Roger playing great at the moment. He's gonna have to keep the hammer down but I haven't seen him play Nadal this well in a long time. Rafa can turn things around quickly if Roger buttons off at all

[canefan]

Fed keeping his focus takes the third set to lead 2-1. I hope he beats Nadal in 4, you don't want Rafa still alive in 5

[No Quarter]

Nadal with the early break in the 5th and now just hanging onto his serve the last few games. Fuck he's gritty, very few unforced errors.

[No Quarter]

And the break! She's all on now.

[Damo]

This is an epic game. Can't go to bed till it's over now.

[mimic]

Fed.

[No Quarter]

Well I for one am fucking stoked with that! Fed, take a bow, GOAT.

Been a while since I watched a 5 setter. Emotionally draining shit.

[canefan]

Absolute classic. Amazing how Fed turned his backhand into a weapon. That was one of his best ever victories beating his arch nemesis

[mariner4life]

In your face @Chris-B !

GOAT

[canefan]

I know he won't but this would be a perfect drop the mike moment for federer

He and Nadal are almost embarrassingly humble.

[canefan]

Nadal is back to somewhere near his best. If the duct tape that holds him together stays OK he is favourite in Paris again

[Billy Tell]

Well this is a pleasant day to be Swiss. The country will be a tad more chipper tomorrow, in that gently undulating way the Helvetians approach life.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Thought Rafa was going to make Fed his bitch again but Roger ended up reaming that Iberian prick. Awesome

Looks like Rog finally worked out that beating Rafa is preferable to sulking around the house for weeks afterwards. Played the best against Rafa that I've seen in years, but he was still only just tough enough.

Have to say, I thought he was fucked four times in that match.
1 Before he started.
2. When he dropped the second set.
3. When he dropped the 4th.
4 A break down in the 5th.

Quite a lot of redemption in that - will be tough for Rafa to prise away his GOAT standing now.

[MajorRage]

Thats a huge win for Roger, huge. If he had lost, then the GOAT title would have always had a huge asterix beside it for the 10-2 loss ratio to Nadal in grand slams. I'm not saying 9-3 is much better, but the bigger stat of 18-14 in the grand slams easily over rides that now.

Not that it will last though ... Nadal is looking ominous once again.

Seriously though when your worth what he is (happy to wear a 300k USD watch), why wouldn't you chuck a couple of grand towards some hair implants?

[mariner4life]

@MajorRage if Rafa can stay fit (and that's a big if) he'll be pretty fucking hard to beat on clay again later in the year.

[MajorRage]

@mariner4life 100% for sure .. .although just looking it up, If you take out the French, then the different is 4-3 to Rafa ... The guy is just utterly dominant on Clay,
