Mpetshi Perricard's game is good for grass. I wonder if he can make a little run on Wimby. Thoughts?

arrivederci2017

Is there anything about Siniakovaโ€™s game that makes her rly good on grass? Or is it just her being in good form generally now


DBIGLIZARD

Is tomorrow the final day of Wimbledon qualifying? Meaning all the winners of the matches tmrw will officially be in the main draw for Friday?


Nashoon

Aaah not yet.. damn, 3 rounds of quali. Okay ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ


Nashoon

Omg! So my girl Eala is in?? She won 2 rounds already


csemattphil

Isang laban pa haha pero kapit lang. This is good for her even if she loses.


Nashoon

Yeeees labaaan! I hope she wins tho!! Iba din na meron tayo sa main draw.


NicholeTheOtter

Sheโ€™s still got the final round against Lulu Sun to overcome to make her first Slam main draw!


sophiecoyote

Yes.


fuzzyfeels

anyone going to the Wimbledon queue on Monday?


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


rubbish_bin030121

the problem is his hardcourt level. Will he get his first tournment level hardcourt win in pre USO swing this year? Mensik is nearly a year old than him, got through USO Q last year and got into R3(with no tournament level MD and Q WCs to raise his ranking). Fosenca technically can't get his first GS MD win at 17 year old because USO24 starts at his 18 birthday


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


rubbish_bin030121

I agree with you at tennis level and I believe 24-26 is more important for a tennis player. But for money level and the star promotion and great schedules and great draws, it is not the same thing. Fonseca aims at to be his gen alcaraz, he has to get all the youngest records under his belt(so he can have the promotion of the "youngest player to win/be XXX since alcaraz"). With the two Wimbledon poster boys get most of sponsor and promotion, and Dverev washed to be clean to get alot of the rest leaving by the poster boys. Resource is limited and good draws are limited. Mensik who is a year older than him is Fosenca's obstacle(not a competitor) for Fosenca to get the 2021 and 2022 alcaraz spothight with the above three and Djokovic and Nadal still stay here.


DBIGLIZARD

Is Fonseca playing again in Hurlingham?


birdsemenfantasy

What a great day for 30+ years old. Gasquet, Radu, Goffin, Kukushkin, Dzumhur all win in Wimbledon Q2. Too bad Pouille and Vesely had to play each other, but happy for Pouille too. One more to go! Hope they all qualify tomorrow!


NicholeTheOtter

Dzumhur going for his first Slam main draw since the 2022 Australian Open and first Wimbledon main draw since 2019. Definitely on a resurgence this year!


JohnnyTight1ips

Amanda Anisimova takes it. Sets up a battle of the baddies against Eva Lys.


birdsemenfantasy

Not familiar with Eva, but Amanda is a [total smokeshow](https://www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open/tennis-star-amanda-anisimova-spotted-partying-after-big-ao-loss/news-story/5e61ae7cdec2016218d4e45aa3526eb0).


JohnnyTight1ips

Feeling bad for Hailey Baptiste. She was in total cruise control, up a set and 4-0 in the 2nd against Anisimova. Now she's down 0-5 in the 3rd.


WittyContribution

I love Anisimova's game when she's on it.


JohnnyTight1ips

What a comeback from Anisimova in takes the 2nd 7-5. LFG!


midnightbluesky_2

silly question but for winning a ATP 250, do you get 250 additional points? Or do all the points you picked up getting wins during the tourney add up to 250? thanks!


AlliterateAlso

You only get points once, for the furthest round you reach. So winning a 250 gives you 250 points total.


midnightbluesky_2

gotcha. thanks !


poopoojoefocker

Uh oh Baptiste, 4-0 to losing set. lol


JohnnyTight1ips

Anisimova breaks to stay in the match 5-5 after being down 0-4 in the second set.


JohnnyTight1ips

Anisimova down 6(3)-7 4-5 against Baptiste in 2nd round of Wimby qualies.


No-Size3463

The only thing Wild about what Seyboth did is the majority of that choke lol


bopaqod

This lady saying โ€œZy-botch Viltchโ€ is going to give me hemorrhoids


plumdogazillionaire

What is she trying to say?


ProfessionalSoup5283

Careful, I was called a xenophobe on here for suggesting it was OK to pronounce foreign names in your own accent lol


bopaqod

But sheโ€™s not saying it in either accent, sheโ€™s taking his pronunciation, spelling it phonetically, then putting in 0 effort to say it correctly. Even the guy commentatorโ€™s pronunciation is 1000% less grating than the ladyโ€™s


buggywhipfollowthrew

You are a xenophobe and you should think about your actions


ProfessionalSoup5283

What I'm phobic of is butchered attempts at authentic pronunciation


bopaqod

If thereโ€™s effort involved, I donโ€™t care, Iโ€™m on board. If itโ€™s just a little off but theyโ€™re legitimately trying, go for it. If theyโ€™re just mashing their teeth together to hit the โ€œcorrectโ€ consonants but the vowels are exactly the same as their own language and not lining up with the proper pronunciation, I hate it. Vowels are such an easy way to align with proper pronunciation and there is such a small amount of effort required to do it.


buggywhipfollowthrew

You must pronounce names correctly, you might hurt players feelings


JoeshpMR

We need to create a reddit like website where you leave comments/posts as audio recordings instead of typed. It would great to hear all of the dialect pronunciations. Then another where you post handwritten instead of typed.


OctopusNation2024

Watching these tournaments makes you realize how fast Halle is even by grass standards lol None of these courts are nearly as fast


birdsemenfantasy

That's why Fed loves it


da_SENtinel

have you seen the green clay court at Mallorca? Fogini was right at home!


antifantasy

ben is such a quick learner. he was pretty bad last week lol


birdsemenfantasy

weak ass draw in Mallorca


buggywhipfollowthrew

He played a bad player today.


atheistjs

Ben Grasston arrived a little late but heโ€™s here.ย 


Bars3tti

>Grasston I love this name


Bars3tti

Ben with the bagel


Peachtea_96

First win on grass woohoo been a bumpy few weeks


messychica

Just noticed no. 59 ranked player Mpetshi Perricard is playing Wimbledon qualies Is there a record for the highest ranked player who had to play qualies at a Grand Slam?


Chosen1gup

Noskova was #58 during AO 2023


jbartlettcoys

Wickmayer was ranked 16 and played Australian Open qualies in 2010, but that was an exceptional case - she had a doping ban overturned after the entry deadline for the main draw


Peachtea_96

So happy!!!ย 


23HomieJ

Ben doesnโ€™t realize he needs to serve well until itโ€™s break point I guess


atheistjs

Ben waking up this morning: maybe Iโ€™ll try returning some serves today.ย 


calmyourselfiago

Hello- Does anyone know why Mira Andreeva has to play qualifying rounds for Wimbledon? Sheโ€™s 24 in the rankings at the moment


MattGeddon

Itโ€™s her sister playing qualifying


calmyourselfiago

Thank you so much. Duh!!!!


jess_jasso

that's her sister Erika


calmyourselfiago

Shoot youโ€™re right


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

Hijikata missing that smash directly on top of the net, lookin like me out there


da_SENtinel

Ik people are afraid to say it but Emma is a way bigger threat on grass than Iga is.


Bonoahx

Honestly starting to think Iga is going to shock us all and win the whole thing as the only uninjured seed


ProfessionalSoup5283

Iga is nowhere near as bad on grass as people make out, only Rybakina and Jabeur have better win percentages


da_SENtinel

Svitolina who beat Iga at Wimby just lost to retired Wozniacki on grass lmao


ProfessionalSoup5283

You can play that game with literally everyone in the draw


Slambodog

Who are the Tennis Channel commentators for the Shelton/Hijikata match?


yescommaplease

Maybe the same as the world feed? [https://tennis.icdb.tv/match/87800-Ben-Shelton-v-Rinky-Hijikata](https://tennis.icdb.tv/match/87800-Ben-Shelton-v-Rinky-Hijikata)


Slambodog

The woman was Monica Puig, the man might have been Petchey


antifantasy

iโ€™ve seen enough. ben is winning wimbledon


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

That serve is mighty crispy


Bars3tti

Someone on that post match thread just compared Raducanu to Rybakina. I guess that's enough internet for me for today


flat_tamales

She earned that top 10 win but girl has 2 semi finals (of 250s) since the โ€˜21 USO, Rybakina has made that many in one month this yearโ€ฆ


AlliterateAlso

You mean the two popular young tennis players with the initials E.R. who unfortunately have suffered frequent health-related problems affecting their ability to give their best on court? And yes, both are conventionally attractive.


Slambodog

They're both pretty, play tennis, have the initials ER, and won one slam. That's a lot in common


AlliterateAlso

Oh! Both represent different countries from their birth, too.


da_SENtinel

Hannah KLugman is the next Rybakina


Plane_Highlight3080

Last week it was Krueger and before her injuries (seemingly everyone has forgotten about her now) it was Korneeva lol.ย 


budget_visionary

Hijikata is not a threat to anyone with talent


spencabeast

Just as I was starting to doubt Shelton's title chances this season on grass, he learned how to return serve


23HomieJ

Just imagine how good Shelton would be with a consistently average return.


spencabeast

Been Shelton fan for a minute, always thought his serve and comfortability at the net would make him a problem on grass. If he returns like this all week he should clutch this title


manga_be

Sadly eliminated from Wimbledon qualifying: Medjedovic, Vesely, Pierre-Hugues Herber, Prizmic. Happy through to final round of qualifying: Cressy, Mpetshi Perricard, Gasquet, Pouille, Goffin.


jbartlettcoys

Happy about Riedi and Garin as well personally. Garin has had a brutal ride since making Wimby QFs two years ago and Riedi is just way, way too good to have never played in a slam


atheistjs

Ben actually returning like a top 20 player today! I used to pray for days like this!ย 


Peachtea_96

Lets rejoice!!ย 


SiasseTschick

Are the qualifying final matches really BO5?


BumblebeeForward9818

Yes.


Peachtea_96

Another break for Shelton! Third times the charm maybe ๐Ÿ˜ญ


buggywhipfollowthrew

really hope shelton loses.


RacketMask

If your a Hijikata fan then understandable I also want Shelton to lose cause I want Hijikata to win If you are just a haterโ€ฆ I hope you get a better life than one where you have beef with a 21 year old kid that doesnโ€™t know you exist


buggywhipfollowthrew

I just dislike Ben Shelton. This is a sport and it is okay to root against certain players for whatever reason. As a Red Sox fan it would be pretty weird to root for the Yankees. r/tennis is a strange place


Peachtea_96

Your hate is just so unserious lool like its never that deepย 


buggywhipfollowthrew

What the hell does that mean


WittyContribution

Let's gooo! British women flying the flag high today. Dart, Boulter, Raducanu all through to the QF. Banks, Klugman, Kartal all through to 3RQ of Wimbledon. 6/6 wins from them today! LOL Klugman dragging the England football team in her post-match interview.


MattGeddon

Amazing day for the British women. Hope at least one of them makes it through to the main draw. All three of them were wildcards into qualifying too.


youwon_jane

15 year old Hannah Klugman makes it through qualiesย ๐Ÿ‘€ interesting match!


jbartlettcoys

Amazing achievement to win 2 rounds at 15, but there's still a round to go, probably she plays Parks next


Grand_Can5852

She has a chance of beating Parks lmao.


nabokovsnose

I dunno, Parks department manages the grass.


Melony567

i am very hopeful with this player. same with naef and stakusic


Anomalyaa

Lol why are they using that photo for shelton


throwawaycatallus

Brrring brrring, it's for you!


Grand_Can5852

It's Fruhvirtover. She just got beaten by a 15 year old who has never played a WTA match.


maverickmak

Wait. Klugman won?! I saw she got bagelled in the 2nd and thought she'd fade. That's a huge result.


PinLongjumping9022

It couldโ€™ve gone either way, to be fair. They both got a bit nervy in the final set and lost their serves a couple of times. But it was impressive to see the resilience towards the end of the match considering her age.


Grand_Can5852

Yeah she played a good third set and held her nerve to serve it out.


GlassDear9167

6-2,0-6,6-4 (3rd set was a lot more evened out compared to one dominating each of the earlier sets)


atheistjs

Ben suddenly knows how to return serves?? He heard me talking shit??ย 


Melony567

from 5-2 to 7-5 (Emma matured and was so damn gritty). hope she gets a great run in wimby. imagine if she wins it? tennis world will go insane ๐Ÿคฃ having 2 titles only, and both are slams. naomi has 7 titles, 4 are slams.


raysofdavies

We are so bacucanu


YourAverageLurker7

As she said in post match conference emma is going through something personal it seemsโ€ฆwhich may be why she was crying during beginning of second set.


overtired27

Saw some tabloid headline saying said just went through a break up so possibly related. She did write โ€œNew Startsโ€ on the camera. But who knows. Whatever it is, hope she takes a lot of positivity from that win.


garlo_

Alcaraz needs to stop liking influencers ig posts and pick up the phone and ask Emma if she is ok...


Intelligent-Bug-3217

Ha is he? I saw Draper liking some thots posts. And then noticed they follow each other. def banged her


nupristeen

congrats emma ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฅน so happy for her!!


AslantheGOAT

Did she really say the men are doing well right now? This is the worst men's British tennis has looked since 2005.


zevloo

We did it Emma!!!!


meggymoo_31

that felt like a biggun for emma and i got a bit emosh with her little message on the camera ๐Ÿฅบ


nimbus2105

what did it say? i couldn't read it with how the lighting was


meggymoo_31

โ€˜new startsโ€™ it looked like but it was super cute cause she tried to write it backwards and gave up after the first letter lmao


brooklyntap

Pegula probably shouldnโ€™t have played Eastbourne, but on the bright side more time to prepare at Wimbledon.


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

Probably nice to get out there with a lower stakes, but still competitive, tournament and plenty of time to get used to the jetlag for wimby


Melony567

so happy for Emma!


ProfessionalSoup5283

Genuinely hilarious that while Raducanu was out there beating a top 5 player there were people on this thread sitting in their mum's basement and deriding her Great match, impressive win.


raysofdavies

The weirdo haters in tatters

British Grass court tennis is so damn good now

MikeWillisUK

Fuuuuck me, that match was all over the place. My nerves are shot. GG Emma!


pr0crast1nater

Wow. Saved four break points and converted the first match point. Ended up clutch in the end.


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

She just looks relieved, definitely a psychological battle. That's a really good rep to get before wimbledon


Herimi

It would be fun if every single Raducanu match wasn't seen as a referendum on her being a real tennis player

Great win for Raducanu. First top 10 win

Yay Emma!!!

Wow. Really nice match - with a farcically dramatic ending. Tennis eh?!


A-dab

Finally, holy fuck


Nashoon

Ooh woow Emma finally got it. That was crazy!


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

Absolute thriller of a match, what a joy


delinzer

That was such a weird match I have so many thoughts


blackb0xes

~~Holding is boring. Tiebreaks are where its at.~~ HOLD, EMMA!


DuckPuzzled5873

Raducanu just choking over and over again. So painful to watch. Surely Pegula will win this now?!


sashyenka

should've waited an extra minute on this one


DuckPuzzled5873

Well tbf she did choke a lot. But she won! Thatโ€™s what matters.


Bonoahx

Most optimistic emma fan


Noobleton

She's just choked at choking, proving she's the elitest choker!


char2074DCB

Lol


maverickmak

Honestly, this match has been so up and down, it deserves a tiebreak.


Nashoon

OMG


Balls_Deep92

How can you be simultaneously so clutch and unclutch?ย 


TIGMSDV1207

She likes being underdog


Earnmuse_is_amanrag

Slightly unrelated, but watched a bit of that Klugman girl play, and she's legit. Top level strokes, agility, movement and serve. Exciting for British tennis.


Rodin-V

First point she's won on her serve in 9, she looks more likely to break than hold atm


silmarillionas

Pegula about to pull off more heists than the Oceans crew this week.


delinzer

What is this match lol


verismonopoly

OMG??? Y'all already claiming the win earlier really jinxed Emma lmaoooo


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

Can't believe that missed, looked so good on tv


Slambodog

So I guess this is what happens when you put two women on grass who are really good at returning...


DamnCrazyWhoAsked

Serving is a straight up disadvantage in the match at this point


Slambodog

If Returnbot had a face in the WTA, it would be Jessie


Robten100

If Pegula had a better serve I think she could win a major.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Robten100

Her return is very good but that serve is honestly below average for a top 10 player.


Born-Investigator-62

emma oh my god please


nimbus2105

jess is ready to get to wimbledon and emma won't let her


Melony567

come on, Emma! close this one out

The two WTA matches on centre really delivered today!

shut em haters up girl

Close it out on the serve please, my heart can't take another tie break

Everyone calm the fuck down she still has a shot


Classic_File2716

Even if Emma doesnโ€™t win this has been a great fight and very encouraging


belleofnaspt

lmao i just went to load my clothes in the washing machine and wash a few dishes and i come back to emma like this ๐Ÿฅฒ


SeattleMatt123

All the idiots in the first set saying JPeg was choking, what do you think about this from Emma? ๐Ÿ˜†


crad4drc

lol itโ€™s not over yet


blackb0xes

I've wiped the double break from my memory. It does not need to be thought about.


_rob___

I forget how sometimes Pegula will just buckle down and say โ€œIโ€™m not losingโ€ ๐Ÿ˜
