The start from Murray was deadly.

If he'd converted his break point in the very first game though.

If.

If....

To end a good weekend of sport Murray gets us past Japan in the Davis Cup, wiins a 5 setter against Nishikori

[mick the click]

That was brutal and brilliant from both players. Murray is a fine chap - but such a drama queen.

Sharapova failed a drugs test at the Aus Open.

How come she's the one admitting to it? Mental.

usually a massive blag when someone says they didnt knot but this seems to be genuine, the governing body could check her previous sample to verify.

why dont they all come clean with whatever supplements they take, publish on the internet and when the rules change its there black and white what they can no longer take

Looks like she was taking this medication as she showed signs of potential diabetes. If that's the case then she's done nothing wrong apart from not checking the list. However surely someone on her team should have checked this.

When it comes to someone's health that takes priority over everything and if she depends on this medication then any punishment would be unfair.

She started taking it for diabetes before research showed it could also be applied to diabetes? And potential diabetes? They aren't sure so stick her on a drug for 10 years instead of doing tests?

Besides, not that straightforward anyways. Too much money in the sport. Fake medical diagnosis would be flying everywhere.

Get off the drugs or get out of the sport. Simple as.

[gratziani]

seems like most sports full of drugs in some way , wouldn't surprise me if more tennis players were caught now as well

following on from Cycling and Athletics

Novak flip flopping on the issue of equality within Tennis within a timescale the Tory party would be proud of.

I think we now all know what he really thinks.
