Kyrgios is sheer class. Have watched every one of his matches this week and I'm convinced that he can be world number one one day. When he puts his mind to it like he has so far this week and like he did in Acapulco earlier in the year, he will consistently win tournaments. So entertaining as well and that serve...

Sheer class? 

There's nothing classy about him at all lol

Nick was at it again last night.

 

After the match he supposedly spat in the direction of the umpire.

Kyrgios off on one again. Thing is with him, he's usually right about what he's saying just at times over does it when arguing his point. In this case, you can't challenge after the score is called. And the other day when he got a time  violation whilst regripping his racquet, he didn't tell him opponent not to serve (which Rafa was doing to Kyrgios at Wimbledon) he told him he could serve whilst he carried on regripping.

I hope she wins but how weak is Konta mentally?..never known a player break so often early on, yet absolutely crumbles when try to close anything out.

 

Bet she supports Spurs

Through to the quarters. :thumbup:

 

In other news, fans booing off Djokovic after he retired with an injured shoulder. Classy.

Yeah, odd one, he is a bellend mind you so never mind, hopefully Rog can drag his ancient legs to no.21 and open a bit of daylight up on the other two.

 

Konta has been very resurgent this year hasn't she. Had some great slam results. As much as I hate to admit Gavin has a point she is a bit of a bottler though so winning a slam highly unlikely.

I think shes done better than anyone could have imagined she'd do, so anything more is a bonus. I'm not sure you can call someone a bottle when they exceed expectations.

She's been great in Slams this season but at the French and Wimbledon, the matches she lost we all expected her to win, seems to bottle it when she's the favourite.

 

Big chance again for her but her record against Svitolina is shit, Svitolina will more than likely get her into long rallies, drag her down and Konta's shitty forehand will probably turn into a mess.

Yeah like he says its because shes done well had a couple of great chances to progress even further in extremely winnable games she’s been the favourite to win and not turned up.

Oh yeah she should have won those matches, they were huge opportunities. But then if you'd told me a few years back she'd have got to numerous grand slam semis and quarters, Been ranked 4th in the world and consistently been ranked in the top 20, I'd have thought you were mental. So swings and roundabouts.

Cheerio Trashy Jo, a very expected result.

 

Konta just doesn't have the consistency to beat Svitolina, too erratic and I thought her tactics were piss poor.

 

Over to Serena or Wang to save us from having a shitty Grand Slam finalist.

Would love a new winner in each draw. Exciting to see some new faces in the semis, gonna be a let down if we end up with Serena and Rafa lifting the trophies.
