Fed really came to play today. Awesome to see.

 

[AoM]

Damn, not watching the match. Wth lol.

 

[DrWong]

Never ever would have predicted this lol

Well, except that one time

But raonic not being one of them is crazy

 

[Omzz]

2 canadians in semis :)

 

[EvilChameleon]

So has anyone actually gone to the Miami Open this year? How are the new grounds?

 

[Deadman]

When was the last time Anderson lost a set 6-0?

Edit: the commentators just said it: 3 years ago.

 

[squeakywheel]

Hope the teens meet in the finals. Canada will celebrate (and ugh, the local public tennis courts will be guaranteed to be busy if that happens).

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm hearing next year this tournament will have at least 1 court with a roof. It's pretty necessary in Miami

 

[squeakywheel]

Yup a roof should be standard in pretty much any major tourney.
BTW, I love how all the hungry up and comers from Canada are either immigrant children or children of immigrants. Even Raonic qualifies. I really hope they keep it up.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tiafoe is also an immigrant with a well documented story

How crazy would it be if Isner actually defended this Masters title, at a new venue from last year

Would be pretty horrendous. If he does I think we can all probably hazard a guess at what the scoreline will be.

 

[Deadman]

Isner won each of his 5 matches to reach the final 2 sets to 0. 9 of the 10 sets were tie breaks.

 

[NekoNeko]

Shapovalov :/

He's very intimidated by his idol

 

[AoM]

Now destroy Isner.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Sometimes I hate Federer :p

 

[perfectchaos007]

Isner (33) vs. Federer (37) in the final. Combined 70 years of age. New Gen fails once again

 

[perfectchaos007]

Barty takes the title on the womens side. She'll probably be top 8 by seasons end

 

[EvilChameleon]

BARTY

 

[AoM]

Congrats to the Bryans on their repeat.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tomorrow either Isner repeats or Fed gets 101

Bloody fine effort! Barty's fitness in the last year or so has been improving out of sight. Glad to see her capitalise on it at Miami. You go girl and a top 10 ranking is on the cards for her now too.

 

[Mcfrank]

ESPN, what the fuck?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Federer not messing around today. Already broke Isner twice in the first set

 

[Sax]

2-6, 7-6, 7-6 =P

 

[NekoNeko]

Fuck you Isner.

 

[Niraj]

Clinic

 

[Mcfrank]

Beatdown

 

[henhowc]

Beat down the trumper

 

[Niraj]

Weird to not challenge that

 

[Omzz]

Seats been empty all tournament

 

[perfectchaos007]

isner may retire

 

[Deadman]

Thats a shame, i feel bad for him.

Pretty good week for Roger.

 

[Niraj]

Lame way for this to end

 

[Sax]

Kind of a sad end but at least Isner gave it a go at the end still. And woo Fed.

 

[John Dunbar]

shame he lost the indian wells final, but can't really complain about recent results.

 

[NekoNeko]

Shame he got injured but then again he can get fucked.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think you're looking at the NFL seats. It's a tennis venue inside of an NFL stadium and the NFL seats aren't being used

 

[squeakywheel]

Shame Felix choked. He would've given Fed a good time.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Spoiler

April Fools

 

[Niraj]

Isner is going to be out 4-6 weeks, stress fracture in his foot

Small world, I just got back from Houston. My brother lives there. I'll have to keep that in mind, maybe I can visit him and check out that tournament someday.

I haven't been in 15 years. Last time I remember seeing Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi play. It's also add a different venue now since I last went. It was at Westside TennisClub, and now it's at River Oaks

 

[henhowc]

Doubles isn't the same but hope this bodes well for andys chance at a comeback

 

[EvilChameleon]

Keys finally beats Stephens!
