Never Ending Tennis Thread [Roland Garros, French Open 2017]

Just incase anybody is awake, tune in to watch Murray vs. Dimitrov Quarterfinal.

Dimitrov has been called Baby Federer for years since playing juniors, never living up to the hype until this year where he's made a push into the Top 15 and soon Top 10. Game is just as beautiful as Federer, the footwork not quite there but almost everything else is.

When Federer retires, hopefully Dimitrov can be the next guard to the throne because watching Murray, Djokovic, and Nadal are like watching carbon copies.

Dimitrov up 2 sets to 0 on Murray!

Hopefully Cilic upsets Djokovic, so we can have a Federer-Baby Federer final!

So is this kid that beat Nadal the next big thing?

Was he thought to be that before beating Nadal?

Come On BIG STAN!

Thought to be one of the best Aussie's coming out, which they need as they've been irrelevant in tennis for over a decade.

Rafa has struggled the last 3 years at Wimbledon. 2nd round, 1st round, 4th round.

I don't see Kyrgios doing anything too special in his career.

Murray is toast.

Murray is toast.

That was just a dominant performance by Dimitrov. Took a page out of Federer's book literally on how to play Djokovic and Murray on grass. Slice slice slice, then power.

Wasn't even really close. He destroyed him.

Djokovic has another spill in a crucial game. Could cost him.

 

[Dalyn]

And it does.

 

[The Tariff King]

LOL Cilic. WTF was that?

 

[Dalyn]

Cilic screws up an easy point by hitting the net with his racket.

 

[Dalyn]

Talk about choking so far.

 

[Dalyn]

That was hard to watch.

 

[Dalyn]

And down goes Djokovic AGAIN. Dude needs new shoes or something.

 

[Dalyn]

...

 

[Dalyn]

Ugly...but someone had to win it.

 

[The Tariff King]

Wawrinka plowing through. Can he keep it up?

 

[Dalyn]

5th deuce.

 

[Dalyn]

Yes!
