Thiem was great in that third set, but man watching Fed brainfart his way into avoidable extra sets then waste so many break points is becoming exhausting

Question to older tennis players. Does getting old in Tennis hurt as much and breaks you down as much as in other sports? When I see older players they seem slower and weaker, but don't seem to be in the extreme pains that older pro players in other sports are in.
When you stop being the #1 in the world because you aged out of it, does it still make sense to try and play for top 16 or is the suffering to high to make it worth it?
It makes sense: look at this final, despite not being at his best he did gett his chances, like last year. When you still do it to grand slam second week, win 500 and go to final in 1000...? Sure.
Now what Fed is lacking to sustain a high level of play and rise his game at will when needed, like before, is adrenaline and all the other natural drugs our body and brain generate when we need it ^^ For me it explains his passivity in this match in key moments when there were opportunities.

Naomi Osaka's sister was granted a main draw wild card entry into Miami this week. Ride those coattails, Mari!
Shame Mari lost. But GG Bianca. Rocketing to #1 end of this year methinks if she wins a slam or two.

My money is on Bibi. Unless she is super tired.

Now I really hope Bianca gets by Kerber!
First set to Bianca.........and like last week, I wish I could watch this on the multiple sports channels I get.......
Bianca wins again :D

I couldn't make out what she said, but it was one of those cold handshakes with a quick remark and no smile from Kerber. usually she does the double kiss thing but not today
I'd be pretty pissed losing to an 18 year old twice in a week lol

I was right. Kerber said "You're the biggest drama queen ever."
Poor sportsmanship from the German.....
Yeah I assume so. Salty AF. Though I'd be pretty frustrated it I lost like a million dollars in 5 days to the same person too.

Kyrgios hit 2 underhand serves in that first set. The crowd didn't approve and neither did his opponent
There is a better second underarm serve from that match. An ace even.
EDIT: There was more too

It's quickly becoming a signature serve for Kyrgios. How about this infamous underhand bowl in Australian cricket history. Game down to the last bowl to decide the winner after 50 overs (6 balls per over) and they decide to bowl underarm for the win.
(skip to 4.50)
I understand difficulties with long range forecasting but can you really not see rain coming from 10 min away? So far today we've basically had delayed start due to rain > 10 min of play > rain delay > 10 min of play > another rain delay. What's the point of even bringing the players out for such short bursts, must be incredibly frustrating for everyone involved.

That's Miami weather for you. Probably one of the worst places in the US to hold a spring time outdoor tournament due to the climate
Man that 19 year old, Auger Aliassime, is killing his run in Miami so far. What a record from 18-19yrs old against top 20 players so far, 5 wins and 0 losses. He's tipped to jump to 35-40 in rankings.
