Has an abdominal tear, evidently. Can't serve. So, Kyrgios goes to his first Grand Slam final, most likely against the Joker. If so, should be entertaining to say the least.

Curious to see if Kyrgios takes this a bit more serious, and how he plays if so. Guy is a absolute beast from a talent and ability standpoint. Very few have ever come close. Total head case unfortunately.

Cody Rhodes wrestled in a freaking CELL with a torn muscle.

I don't like this because it was obvious yesterday that he was not going to win Wimbledon and Fritz vs. Kyrgios would have been extremely entertaining.

Fritz has to be kicking himself that he couldn't take out Rafa when he was obviously not 100%. He'd be playing Kyrgios in the semis today.

Do people actually still watch tennis?
You’re missing out. I used to say the same thing when I was 12 back in 2003. Was hooked like a heroin addict when I turned 18 and started betting on it. FanDuel makes it fun too.

Kyrgios went from a small favorite vs. Nadal to a more than +300 underdog vs Djokovic.

Nadal one of the most overrated players in the game away from clay courts.

Nadal's 4 US Opens (hard), 2 Wimbledons (grass) and 3 Australian Opens (hard) beg to differ. Really, really bad take. Is he the GOAT on clay - most definitely. Doesn't mean he's overrated on other surfaces. Very few pro tennis players have won 9 GS events like Rafa on his overrated surfaces. Horribly bad take.

Two AOs, this past year without Djokovic obviously. Went 13 years between titles there. Will be 13 years since last Wimbledon title. And US Opens are the easier to win of the four, while everyone is beat up physically after nine months of the calendar year on tour.

Huh? That makes no sense. You could just as easily say that makes the US Open the hardest to win of the four.

Another horrible take. Throw out his French Open titles and he's won 8 (you did get that right). You know how many players in the history of tennis have won more than 8? 7 - Fed, Joker, Emerson, Sampras, Laver, Borg and Tilden. In the entire history of the game. I don't know if he's the GOAT but in no universe is he overrated. And by what criteria is the US Open the easiest to win? Bjorn Borg would really like to know. Just stop. You obviously don't follow tennis very much.
