Arena Federer/Nadal/Djokovic Era - Now 1/3rd Over

I don't think she was playing her best tennis either. Muguruza/Osaka should have been the final, though it's cool that Brady made it.

 

Poor Brady was just a sacrificial lamb in that match. It's still a career highlight she made major final though, one she will be telling the grandkids about one day.

 

the 1.5 million dollars probably doesn't hurt either.

gonna go out on a limb and predict a medvedev win tonight/tomorrow.

 

dang.

 

zzzzz.

On to Roland Garros.

 

I don't know who among the three will end up with the most titles, though Federer has the worst odds of ever winning another major by a wide margin, but I'm almost certain we'll never see anything like the Djokovic/Nadal/Federer era again in our lifetimes.

In other GOAT news, Mikaela Shiffrin is the first person in 14 years to win four medals at the World Championshships, with gold in the combined, silver in the GS, and bronze in the super-G and slalom. Shiffrin had won the slalom for four consecutive years, but this year settled for bronze and the most medals overall.

 

it's too bad he's such a tool.

 

We'll always have Rafa's 2013 semifinal victory over him at Roland Garros, and various beatdowns in the final.

Incredibly it was 28 years ago that Monica Seles was stabbed:



As the poster wrote, altered the history of women's tennis as Monica was on her way to being the most dominate perhaps player ever. Then the stabbing happen and even though Seles made one of the greatest comebacks ever (and is NEVER REMEMBERED!), she never was the same.
