2021 Tennis

Absolutely he has yeah. I hope he has one more go at each of the Slams this year and calls it quits. A run to R4 or something at Wimbledon would be nice.

You'd think Andy was top 10 in the world and in fine health the way some of yous are going on about him.

He's 100+ in the rankings and is playing with a hip made from chewing gum and sticks.

It's a medical miracle that he's playing tennis competitively at any level.

He is in and about the 100's on form, which as you say is an achievement in itself. He just doesn't seem to have access to the levels left to blow away the guys who are on the same level as him. Beating a top seed in 5 sets with a metal hip shows how good he still is, but it is a war, and in Slam tennis you need the fitness to go again 48 hours later. A lot of his success was in his ability to run down pretty much every ball, his ability to mix his game, and tactically find a way past almost every opponent.

He looked burnt out today.

He has spoken quite eloquently about his place in world tennis now, and the thing we all forget is these guys love to compete, once he quits thats it. It will definitely be on his own terms. He

I can see him perhaps hanging around for a couple of years, and he will always be a threat at Queens and Wimbledon. But he needs an almost perfect set of circumstances to progress...

Such a shame that his body gave up when it did as he was on track to pick up a few more Slams and was World Number 1...

[Buzzo]

Agreed. Given the heights he reached it's a tough watch. Akin to watching a punch drunk boxer being wheeled out against bums he'd have wiped the floor with in his prime.

I imagine he wants to go out on his terms i.e. playing tennis and if that entails losing to the 120th ranked player in the world then so be it. He's more than earned the right to dictate how his career should end.

Absolutely he has yeah. I hope he has one more go at each of the Slams this year and calls it quits. A run to R4 or something at Wimbledon would be nice.

We were lucky to witness what he did for sure. It would be amazing to see him impact one more slam. Seeing where he is now makes you realise how much we took his previous success for granted.

He must both love and hate the Aus Open. 5 final defeats FFS.

Kyrgios gets a break up in the third set (he is 2-0 down) and the crowd go absolutely mental

[Buzzo]

Kyrgios is ridiculous.

I’ve watched 5 mins. He has won a point where he was forced to play a tweener and has also played an under arm serve

He won both points.

The crowd

[Buzzo]

Kyrgios wins the third set.

The roof comes off.

[Buzzo]

Makes a few chances, but can’t convert but loses the 4th set.

It will never happen, but if NK were ever to get to the Aus open final, it would be the best tennis match ever.

He doesn’t want it badly enough to compromise his life style and a bit of me respects that. He’s got the lot though, every shot… and he makes it look easy at times. He just lacks focus.

[Buzzo]

Raducanu out.

[Scratch]

Raducanu out.

I watched that from midway through the second set...that blister really hindered her and may have had a big say in the result, but she got some good practice in for the deep slice forehand.

She needs to develop some proper calluses to stop that happening again.

[RichC]

He really is a top bloke.

[Buzzo]

He might not have the Slams his career deserves but his impact on the game is amazing. He has fought for equality throughout Tennis.

Really nice that he does this sort of thing, and he though he has achieved publicity in this instance he doesn’t seek it.

Djolovic busted based on the serial number for his positive test. Essentially, looks most unlikely it was from the date he claims

Yep saw that. Him and his whole entourage are absolute pricks.

[Shaggy]

Wow. What a cunt.
