Re: AO Tennis 2

AO Tennis 2 will release on January 9th, 2020 on consoles and PC. Control in the original AO Tennis felt better than Tennis World Tour but career mode was a bit lacking, hoping it will be improved in the next game.

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Two amazing men's finals in a row. First Wimbledon and now this. I guess the most amazing thing about this one is that it seemed all over when Rafa broke first in the third, only to lose his serve and open the door to what was almost the greatest comeback in recent history. Incredible guts by Medved...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Guess there must be some question marks about how Serena is going into Grand Slam finals. I only started watching from the second game of the second set but she looked nervy and erratic, no doubt due also to the merits of Andreescu. I think the statistics say Serena's lost her last four finals. I ca...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Yep, Roger looked a step off the pace, even earlier on in the match, but Dimitrov played very well. He looks in great shape physically and I think that's going to give him an important edge against Medvedev, who's played a lot of tennis (very successfully) recently and at one point looked as if he m...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

It’ll be interesting to see how much this shoulder injury will bug Nole the next couple of matches. It’s the only thing that would prevent a Nadal finals in my opinion. Seems like it didn't affect him much against Kudla, but Wawrinka could prove an even bigger obstacle. He's had a fair bit of succe...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

A few early observations at the US Open. It’s been a bit of a struggle for R. Federer advancing. You look at his draw and you say he should cruise easily to the quarters, yet he’s struggling a bit. He lost last week in Cinci in the quarters to a very promising Russian player in Rublev who already u...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

There's also a big difference in on court demeanor. Yeah, maybe. Not something I really perceive. Maybe it's not that important to me, but I see all of them going about the job in a very serious way, with the odd negative and positive emotional manifestations, but nothing out of the ordinary. Someb...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

I don't think it's so much that people don't like Djokovic as the fact that Federer and Nadal are the subjects of what might even be described as disproportional adulation. The fact that Djokovic and, to a lesser extent, Murray arrived on the scene after Roger and Rafa's intense rivalry was already ...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Very tough loss for Federer. Third time he's lost to Novak in majors after having two match points and third time he's lost to the Serb in the final of Wimbledon. Fed was arguably the better player throughout and Nole admitted in his press conference "I was on the back foot for most of the match" (m...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

My buddy and I were breathless. Especially during the last 10 minutes of the great match between Federer and Nadal. It was a battle despite the four sets without going the full distance. You don’t often hear the Swiss saying ‘I was exhausted’. He served very well and managed to time his backhand re...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Seems like Djoko has a real easy side of the bracket. What happened, the #4 seed got upset early on? Way it may play out, the winner of Nadal/Federer may be too beat up by the time he faces Djoko. If it's a 5-setter with a tiebreak, he may as well not bother. Yeah, all the "big name players" on Djo...

Friday is the day I’ll be watching yet another exciting semis between Rafa and Federer. I really think that the ...

No love lost between these two and the build up to the match was fraught to say the least. You only have to go to the official website and check out the press c...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

The first two sets were gruelling and Thiem is as strong as an ox but Rafa just ground him down. Thought Rafa was hitting his backhand great today and his serve, especially from the ad court, created a lot of openings. 12 Roland Garros and counting...frightening achievement.

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

I was up at 4 AM to watch these two legends of the sport. The King of Clay was just too much for Federer under very tough playing conditions. Surprisingly both served very well with the wind especially lefty and despite the straight sets victory, the first two could have gone either way. Federer ju...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Federer's return to clay court tennis has gone pretty well. Definitely second favorite against Rafa on Friday but as he pointed out in his pressie, the matches have to be played and you never know.

Re: The Beautiful Game thread, season 2018/19

I don't think it was intentional handball either. It would be interesting to hear the ref actually talking us through the decision. PK's also right in that PSG made some terrible blunders to gift United the first two goals but, even so, with the chances they created, they should have been well out o...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Serena's domination in the women's side may also suggest that the last 10 years have been fallow for the tennis academies and the talent pipeline. Are talented young athletes going into golf or soccer instead? What about the new women's world #1? I am sure Naomi Osaka would have a few words about t...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Didn't watch the whole match, just parts of the first set. Rafa was struggling from the start. Only a year apart in age. I was surprised when one of the analysts said Rafa will try to keep the ball on Djoko's forehand. I would think that would be one of his strengths? Also forced Rafa to serve to t...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Bit of an anti-climax to say the least. The Wimbledon semi and the way the two players reached the final suggested that we were in for a classic but Rafa was unrecognisable, at least partly because Djokovic was at the top of his game. Going into Wimbledon, Rafa and Roger had shared the 6 previous gr...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Djokovic seems to be peaking just when it matters and he has that advantage over Nadal on hard courts. They both seem to be playing as well as, if not better than, ever. The recent Wimbledon semi-final was one of the best matches I've seen so I'm really looking forward to this encounter. A true batt...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Well, Tsitsipas was the big story of this tournament...until he came up against Nadal. Rafa is playing outstandingly. Maybe the Greek was tired after some tough matches and these tournaments are brutal physically but Nadal's performance was as good as it gets. I'm a Tsitsipas fan. He's got that kind...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Big win for Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Aussie Open against Federer today. When questioned as to whether he can go all the way, the guy responded; "For sure! That's why I'm here, that's why I'm playing,for the trophy, for the title". The way he plays, the way he talks, he seems destined to become a su...
