Can’t tell you how irritated I am by them putting it in the worthless sports package. Pound sand YTTV.
If only Fritz spent more time focused on opponent and less time yelling at his box. Not looking good.
Yelling at the box is getting way too popular. Not a good look at all. If I was in kygrios box I think I'd have to get up and leave
This Rune cerundolo match has been awesome lot of drama. In the 3rd set the umpire made maybe the worst call I've seen. Ball bounced twice on Runes side, cerundolo still put away easy smash but umpire called hindrance point penalty on cerundolo who only pointed out it double bounced before his smash. Set up a break point. This is day after a very weak default in a doubles match yesterday.

Side note from Roland Garros but for you tennis nuts in here if you haven’t watched “Break Point” on Netflix you should. It’s the same thing they did for F1 and PGA players but based around professional tennis players. Really good stuff and the second half is still to come.
The calls and lack thereof were ridiculous. Even ball boy knew the double bounce. The crap at the French would still smell even if they had Hawkeye.
I can’t stand Djokovic or Kyrgios either but that might be just a me thing, and Djoke at least probably will be gone in a few years.
You mean the GOAT? I can't stand Kyrgios either. I'd put Tsitsipas on the list too, although he's grown on me the last year.
I’m sure attacking French fans for booing you is gonna make them stop, right?
They are going to boo him no matter what little thing he does, so might as well give it back. Medvedev has had similar experiences. And it’s usually a handful of “fans” he will get into it with, who came to more so boo opposing players versus cheer for their guy. “Fans” like that are ******* clowns.
The Roland Garros crowds are honestly the worst. They boo a lot and if you question the chair umpire, raise any sort of issue or basically just don't "Shut up and serve/play" they will get on you. Even Federer, who was loved everywhere had moments when the crowd at Roland Garros would boo and hiss a bit. They are a strange bunch at that tournament.
Yeah it’s weird cause even if a player has a legitimate complaint for the umpire some people will automatically boo if the player dares to voice the complaint. Even if it’s a simple quick chat with the umpire without yelling or any theatrics.
