Dominic Thiem just told Eurosport that Serena Williams has a “bad personality.” As insults go, it’s the stoic German-speaking equivalent of calling someone “Meanie Mcmeanface.” Not exactly a scathing commentary–or it wouldn’t be if anyone else had said it. […]
Two days after running into some unexpected press-room controversy, Dominic Thiem made sure it was his tennis doing the talking. Thiem took his level to greater heights and crushed an in-form Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 during fourth-round action on Monday afternoon. […]
Rafael Nadal now faces a player (Kei Nishikori) who is coming off consecutive five-setters and will have no days of rest after finishing off Benoit Paire 6-2, 6-7(8), 6-2, 6-7(8), 7-5 on Monday. Nishikori also did extremely well to overcome a 4-0 fifth-set deficit against Laslo Djere. […]
