The ATP/WTA Tennis thread

They’re going to a breaker, Novak serving first.

… and from 2-2, Novak wins the last 5 points to win his 100th title!

The third player in history to reach this mark after Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer.

Bit of everything for Novak’s last 5 titles

96. US Open
97. Paris Masters
98. ATP Finals
99. Olympics
100. Geneva 500

In other news, “Claylor” Fritz out of the French Open in R1. Also out, Naomi Osaka and Emma Navarro.

RG R16: Paolini v Svitolina
6-4 5-4 DMP against serve
Svitolina holds and saves another MP in the breaker then wins the 3rd set 6-1.

RG R16: Swiatek v Rybakina
Another one for the bakery?
5-0 15-40 - but it’s Iga that’s losing!!

Elina grabs the opening set 6-1 on her 5th set point. So much for a 24 match win streak for Iga at Roland Garros.

Long way for her to ever reclaim the #1 ranking. Given the lack of competition, Sabalenka could remain #1 for 100+ weeks, currently 32 weeks and counting. If she gets to 81 weeks, so another 12 months, that would be the 10th longest streak for women.

Wow, 1ga wins 7-5 in the 3rd, great comeback.

Svitolina next, another tough challenge.

It doesn't seem likely anyone can beat Sinner at the moment, apart from Alcaraz.

this joker/zverev match is good

The break point djockovic saved at 4-3? Third set was great

First 2 sets were good then zverev fell apart

What a first set between Sabalenka and Swiatek. Sabalenka serves an ace to go up 5-1 but it's a late called let, she gets broken and it ends up at 4-4 and then 6-6 with 8 breaks in the set, then she dominates the tiebreak 7-1. I think the returner won at least 75% of the second serve points. They're both so good.

same today w/ Swiatek. Sabalenka loses her first set of the tourney then wins the 3rd set 6-0 in like 20 mins. It was a great match til it wasn't.

Hopefully Djokovic/Sinner is competitive.

Gauff is just destroying French Cinderella.

yup came to post looks like Boisson magical run is ending

I guess this is the theme of the tournament now. Alcaraz/Musetti was awesome for 2 sets too.

dat a girl Coco

Alcaraz making a push here.

Pretty impressive sportsmanship of Sinner to call the ball good at that point. Not many would do that.

Ya I liked that, but don't think he called it good tho. Just acknowledged it was good.

That's two suicidal acts of impressive sportsmanship.

The graphic they put up on my screen showed it out. And they quickly removed it.

This is freaking incredible.

Sinner shows no emotion, but his play in the game where he was serving for the match was nervy.

I don't see how Sinner wins this. He's shook.

Unbelievable. This **** is next level.

I almost posted how sinner was gonna win the calendar slam
