On Twitter, someone said something about Naomi: when she applauds her opponent, know that you are in trouble already. She has this calm demeanor rarely found in tennis players.

Her attitude makes me fan ...

Sorry bro , na politics cause am .. you are covered nothing do you

Maybe I'll do a thread on this but let me first post this article from the Internet on the 3 greatest tennis players.

Tennis has three G.O.A.T.s now. It's weird and awesome

Roger Federer has the most grand slam wins of all time. He has the most ATP tournament victories of all time. He is commonly recognized as the greatest player to ever live. He is the G.O.A.T.

Rafael Nadal has the second-most grand slam wins of all time. He has the best career winning percentage of any player except Bjorn Borg. He has a winning record against Roger Federer, who is considered the greatest player of all time. He is the greatest clay court player in history by a wide margin. He has a great chance to eclipse Federer's grand slam win total just by winning French Opens until he's 36. He is the G.O.A.T.

Novak Djokovic has the third-most grand slam wins of all time. He has a better winning percentage than Roger Federer, and a winning head-to-head record against both Federer and Nadal. At his peak, it would be crazy to argue that he wasn't simply better than both players. He had the single greatest tennis season of all time. Now that he's back in winning form, it is not at all crazy to think he will make a run at Federer's grand slam mark (he need six more to tie). He is the G.O.A.T.

If you're a big tennis fan, or even just a casual observer, you will disagree vehemently with one or more of the preceding paragraphs. However, you will have to concede that there is an argument to be made in each case, and even that reality is pretty stunning. Usually when we have the G.O.A.T. argument, we're talking about players from a different era, i.e. Ruth v. Bonds or LeBron v. Jordan. In this case, we have three contemporaries who have distinguished themselves, as of last night, as the three greatest players in the sport's history. And it's not at all clear which of them is the greatest.

Roger Federer is the greatest of all time, but also he's not as good as Nadal or Djokovic.

How does that make sense, you ask? It doesn't! It doesn't, but it's also completely true. He's an unbelievable champion the likes of which the sport has never seen before and may never see again, but at the peak of his powers, he wasn't as good as his two main rivals—as the record shows.

In fact, the really crazy part about this triumvirate is that the weaker the resume, the stronger the player. If I needed one guy to win one match while playing at his highest historical level, it would be Djokovic. And he's the least decorated of the three, though of course that could change (and if not for his injuries and personal woes, I have a feeling he'd be really close to 20 slams already).

If you had to express this as a mathematical formula, it would look something like A>B, B>C, C>A. It's not rational, and it seems to go against the laws of physics, but here we are: One sport, one era, three goats.

No chance for Osaka here. Her game isn't suited for the Roland Garros dirt. Serena has next to no match practice. Sure, that hasn't stopped her winning in the past, but at the age of 37, she can't just turn up and win.
Favorites for me in order are Halep, Bertens, Pliskova and Kvitova.
Dark horses who can upset the balance are Yastremska (who is playing really well), Martic and Sakkari.

Yastremska out. These young ones are not turning up at all.

Abeg who sabi lionsbet? Make I no go stake my 10k for one chance

Naomi has started losing again. She is down 4 - 0 in the first set, but I think it will be 4-1 soon.

No update on my Madison keys.

naomi won all the remaining games in the first set, ending it 6 - 4. She is leading the second set 6 - 5 now. It will probably end in a tie-break.

Naomi won the second set 7 - 5, wow. The third set will decide the match. It sucks to follow a match based on the scores alone.

I usually stream via bet365.

Great tip bro. Doing the same now! Naomi's comebacks are great. Azarenka left the court for some reason but she is back now. Third set.

Naomi just giving away free points to Azarenka (unforced errors) but also making aces and great winners. She's controlling the set. 1 - 0.

This Naomi service is very fast and wicked o

Victoria and Naomi , Top Tennis out there . This remind me of the WTA golden era ..

Yes o. It hasn't failed her in this set, thank goodness. She's returning & hitting very hard, too. She just broke Azarenka. Leading 3-1 & serving.

Update: the bet365 stream has stopped for me but Naomi is now leading 5 - 1, and 40-30. Naomi is quite likely to win unless she chokes.

On to the next ....

Glad Victoria is gradually getting back to her best, we need a player like her in the tour ..

Miss Keys dey play later today

Azarenka refused to go down easily but Naomi prevailed in the end. 4 - 6, 7 - 6, 6 - 3. She is doing better than ever on clay.

Serena is playing her second match now. She seems to have a very easy draw. I will watch the highlights later.

ATP is a war zone with different rockets

WTA is showbiz with different models

I wont go and run after money from morning and decide to watch war when I come back ko jor , I need something to calm my nerves .
5 sets makes me hate ATP , too long i get wetin i wan take my time do na abi .
Tennis,volleyball, Swimming for me are women sports
Boxing, football, Basketball are for men .

Moreover looking at hot young half naked ladies running after a tennis ball while holding racket in hand can increase life span , according to doctor who

But, this Naomi Osaka is stubborn o

Pliskova is gone .. geh gehn

Petra Matric might actually win this tournament. She demolished an in form Mladenovic in straight sets and today defeated Pliskova in straight sets. Martic has also won 13 of her 15 matches on clay this season, dropping only 11 games in her last 3 matches. She's my bet to win this year's French open.

Miss Keys dey play later today

Thanks man.

Watching the Naomi Osaka vs Siniakova match. Currently 3 - 2 on first set. Nobody's serve has been broken yet.

At 4 - 4, Osaka faced two break points and defended them successfully. Then she threw away another point and is now losing 5 - 4. Yikes.
