Tennis 2025 / Indian Wells & beyond

[AtticusBK]

I started watching, went to a 75-minute yoga class, came home, took a shower, walked my dogs over a mile, came back home and it was still going! What I saw was such a high level, so even though I was pulling for Sinner, I have to applaud Carlitos — unlike the women’s final where Sabalenka fell apart and gave the match to Coco yet again, just like at the US Open. (Coco’s A game doesn’t really come close to Sabalenka’s A game imho. No one’s does right now.)

Then I went to meet w a Sniffies hook-up for the 2nd time 😜

Still haven’t watched the entire match but did catch a 30-minute highlights video.  My gawd, both guys played at an unbelievable level, reminds me of the 2011 US Open final.  This year’s Roland Garros was so predictable, but in a good way.  The 4 best players in the draw reached the semis, the 2 best reached the final, and the better player (in terms of head-to-head, not ranking) won.

I’ll have to find a video of the entire match because the final was an instant classic, already being talked about as one of the greatest matches of all time.  Carlos should be so damn proud, so should Jannik, although I don’t know that’s how he’s feeling right now.

Yes the men's final was a great match. 

Now onto grass which is great for me in London. 

Having my second trip this week to Queens tomorrow and three days at Wimbledon coming up.

Wimbledon has started.  They have a good Facebook page.

Who is everyone rooting for?  Who will win?

I'm pulling for Alcaraz, Draper, Keyes and Gauff.

Do over.  😗

 

Gauff is the highest earning female athlete on the planet according to the Tennis Channel.  That said she lost her first round match at Wimbledon.  

I'll swap her out of my early picks, and replace with Andreeva.  Love her game.  A rising star.
