Starting to look/feel a bit routine for Djokovic now.

I fell asleep, I think he dies the rope a dope to get into the minds of players and that sets him up for their future meetings. It’s worked amazingly well.

Sets up a repeat of the Wimbledon final. Wonder if I can bet him losing the first then winning 3-1

Just signed in to amazon account for the first time in yonks and it seems I can get yet another free Prime trial (I've never subscribed in my life). Should be worth it for the rest of this weeks tennis. :p

Yikes, I used 18GB of bandwidth yesterday when I have 100GB for the month. This is why I don't subscribe to video services. :D

(Mobile broadband, can't get fixed where I live :o)
 
I couldn't watch it because it is during the work week and too late/too early for the European time zones :(

Happy for Nole, though.

This tournament is really boring without Dimitrov, Murray, Wawrinka, Nadal and Federer.

Someone's turn to say 'how odd' to you :P

This tournament has been excellent, I've thoroughly enjoyed it, there has already been some great matches.

The only thing that would have made it better for me would be if Andy Murray was still in it. But we've got Raducanu and a couple of teams left in the men's doubles and mixed doubles, so it's not all bad from a British point of view.

It's been good to see the new players coming through as well, there's some real quality. If I was a betting man I'd put a pound on it being a Raducanu/Fernandez final, but I'm not a betting man for a reason :P
 
That might be the case but for all-round entertainment the tournament has been far from boring, imo.

I suppose we watch tennis for varying reasons.
 
I think it's safe to say the women's tournament has captured the imagination and the men's side is a bit stale - until Medvedev/Zverev/another can take it to Djokovic on a consistent basis it's going to remain that way for a while.
 
Canada starting to produce some really good talent, even on the men’s side with Shapo going far at Wimbledon until his arse collapsed and now FAA in the semi here.

I wonder if (have they?) the Americans have changed their tactics producing youngsters as the massive serve bots just don’t cut it anymore.
 
This is going to be a tough match, Bencic has got to be the big favourite to make the final.

Edit: Not a good start, over hitting every single shot.
