It wasn’t Serena’s decision. They only wanted a bigger room because Serena lost and the media vultures wanted to pick on the carcass.

Would they do this to Rafa. Roger or Novak?

So the highest ranked player Fedr will play up to the 4th round is #63 and in Rafa’s case it will be the #27 seed.

Fedr might not even take to the court; he might get a WO from Mayer who is injured.

LEONARD MAYER has told Argentinian media he is struggling with a tear in his left thigh ahead of his match with Roger […]

Any reasonable person would have seen that the match in Madrid against Tsitsipas was a bad day at the office for Rafa. That wasn’t Rafa even playing at 50%.

Djokovic is among the players most likely to smash their racquet when losing.

A gracious loser doesn’t doesn’t behave like this:

Rafa can’t help but show his frustration and disgust when he loses but he does give credit to his opponents sometime. Fedr used to be a bad loser but he is at the end of his salad days so he probably doesn’t care […]

Monalisa, that did cross my mind because Rafa is still in his comeback mode and he spared himself another loss to Djoker. Quite how Novak wins so many matches is a puzzle to me because he doesn’t seem to have an […]

I think people feel he should be suspended because he’s a serial offender. The ATP treats him with kid gloves because they are so mindful of preserving the game thro’ the NextGen so they forgive him his bad […]

I don’t get where Fed is coming from. How can it be alright to haul a chair onto the court so long as it doesn’t hit anyone? I know the Swiss like to sit on the fence but this is ridiculous. If Fed had said […]

It’s very quiet around here. Has Ricky gone AWOL?

I was in Madrid last year when Rafa lost to Thiem in the SF. Very demoralising for fans who have there to see him play.

No, Rafa has not played well at all. He looked nervous from the start. Tsitsipas, I have to say, has improved a great deal.

I cannot believe what I’m watching! From being sublime yesterday, Rafa is down to ridiculous today! What on earth is going on?

Joe Smith, Thiem plays hit or miss tennis. Yesterday was a hit today was a miss. That’s all there is to it.

If Thiem doesn’t go for broke all the time he will have trouble beating the Big 3 because he doesn’t have enough layers in his game.

Thiem’s aggression pays off and he breaks Djoker. He leads 4:2
