The BBC had to apologise for Bartoli comments.
I tolerate him in the Wimby highlights programme but never actually commentating

Looking forward to a Berrettini- Cilic final.

Doping allegations? But he only took painkillers,didn’t he? Which are legal,other tennis players have done it.Thats what’s ridiculous plus the fact that I can’t see anyone being stripped of their titles like […]

Sorry that was for London

Halle : Medvedev d FAA

Exact same SF and Finals .
Great minds think alike 🙂

What’s wrong with posting a link to a news item that’s freely available.Whether you agree or not.
Talking about Djokovic,he did get enough coverage and deserved criticism for being Novax.I didn’t defend him

Just read that they are raising profile of Madrid-Rome to be like the sunshine double of clay. But they neglecting the grass season , definitely a Masters needed . The Hall of Fame is another classy tournament […]

I didn’t bring it up the cyclists did.

If he (FAA) had more support from Toni,it’s very possible even back then

Murray here’s hoping.
Tsitsi can’t play on grass
Both matches should be good

Sonego and Otte in three
Why is Struff so poor on grass? I think the figures are more about his early days.He better more recently. He inconsistent on any surface though.

He was in tears in that final just like Zverev- more at missing the once in a life opportunity than the pain I would say.

That’s right. He also beat Fed one year I think.

Cilic can play on grass ? That goes without saying with his record on it.
Its far better than Shapos .Im not convinced about him he either really hot or useless.

As you said earlier, its important to have more to your game than just be very aggressive which is why a lot of the one-dimensional big hitters eventually come up short by making too many errors. Zverev does have […]

Why indeed? Why would he play defensively at all since being up against a physical problem and draining conditions he need to keep the points short.
I make a simple point about one ball just reached by Rafa that […]

Lucky at 7.32:

You make a lot of assumptions there about how aggressive Rafa would play, something you always criticising him for not doing. What a load of speculation.
In Madrid,Rome or anywhere else why […]

Agree. Its percentages that count, but its common for total points won to be very close you’d be surprised how often even with what looks like a clear winner.

The point I was making was that when it gets […]

Well, its an example where the huge court suited Rafa. Anywhere else that one-two punch would have won the point.
And before anyone mentions the roof and humidity, that argument is getting tired and not that big […]

Well thats a basic thing in most sports.
Theres always pressure , but it does help when you’ve been there before and conquered the difficult situations. A bit of luck is needed too .
There was another point in […]
