    Serena has been the greatest woman's tennis player of all time, but she is done, she was beaten by a punch and judy ball spinner today at Wimbledon, she should hang em up now.

    She's the greatest but I don't like her.

    She should still try and play the US Open. End it at home where she won the first one.

    Ahhhh, the irony of hearing McEnroe chastising Kyrgios over his antics.....

    Kyrigos is good for Tennis. Lots of flair to his game with plenty of attitude to back it up.

    Wasn't long ago Andy Roddick used to chop it up quite a bit with the umpires etc.

    Most entertaining tennis match of the year.

    I see Tennis fans complaining but it reminds me of when people complain about baseball players pimping home runs or nba guys staring down their opponent after posters. Its good for the game. Give us more emotion.

    Yes he does. He hits some insane forehands. Its all mental with him. He has the physical talent to win some slams.

    Props to Taylor Fritz's girlfriend -- a Ky vs Fritz semifinal will set the record for most cuts to clapping girls in the player box.

    Nadal playing hurt since the 2nd set to force a final 5th set tiebreak is crazy. Shows hes just on another level than 99% of these others. It makes it more even him being hurt, but Fritz was exposed. Extremely weak at the net and nonathletic to keep up with shots

    Nadal played with an abdominal tear and still came back and won. Sucks he won't be 100% vs Kyrgios as he has everything to exploit the weakness that Fritz can't
