hit the ball not it the ball.... ha. was an exciting match.
Moutet's underarm serve has more deception than most because he does a very short backswing and conceals his intention until he's basically it the ball. Additionally, he is way more accurate than most. His is like a dropper with sidespin. So good. Uses it intelligently.

This is a huge door opening for IGA. Now that she's experienced what she's capable of at #Wimbledon she can rinse, lather, repeat. Chance for double digit major titles, and more away from RG, just got way higher in my humble opinion.
Feels like Aleks Kovacevic, with 70 ATP matches under his belt now, is starting to benefit from his experience and now his game really is starting to speak.
A sad yet joyous year for men's tennis, as both Alcaraz and Sinner are defeated in major finals for the first time, by each other.
Unbelievable the strides Jannik Sinner made on clay and grass this year, and how he overcame what happened in Paris so swiftly. Soared to the heights today - his movement on grass? unreal now - and the Alcaraz-Sinner plot thickens.
Doesn't feel like Sinner has an Alcaraz problem today. Here's where we find out if Sinner has a Sinner problem.
Never doubted it 🤠 #Świątek #Wimbledon
Just wait until #Swiatek wins Wimbledon...
As far as Iga goes, I'm so happy for her. She takes her craft so seriously, takes her failure so hard, wants to win so badly, plays so dynamically. What a role model, what a champion and what an inspiration! She makes it look easy at times, but we all know that is not the case.
Amanda Anisimova crushed her speech in the most beautiful, serene way, and I'll never forget it. That was truly poignant, and I have so much respect for how she pulled it together and created an incredible moment for herself, her family and tennis on Centre Court.
This is one of the hardest narrative shifts I've ever seen from Iga. From maybe - probably? - she'll never figure out grass and that's ok, to THIS! legend.
Stoked to bring more tennis to the masses

Iga: she seemed to finally realize that her game works WELL on grass without too much adaptation. She is just focused on getting the movement stellar and doing her thing. The balmy weather is a plus for her as well. She's 17-5 lifetime at #Wimbledon, it's not like she's Casper.
Leading the way as they always do.
American women are now eight wins away from the calendar Grand Slam
That's beautiful to see, Amanda Anisimova. Not just today, the whole story, everything she's been through, dealt with and overcome. INSPIRATION
At 6-2, 3-0 Samsonova finally allowed herself to look at the draw and figure out who she is playing 😉
All i gotta say is whoah chrissie and steffi talk about consistent
