I usually play change to news balls every 4 or 5 sessions. But I find that if I use new balls, fresh out the can, in partial wet weather, they are basically dead the next time I use them. Why is this? I assume putting them on the radiator messes up the pressure (I’ve done that before loool)...

If the grouping is random and not the same every year, apologies in advance. I just wondered if any of you could predict when certain seeds will play BEFORE the groups are made. Like, if Federer is 3, will he be in Djokovic(1)'s group and play on day 1? Or does the top seeds group tend to play...

Djokovic was tremendous today, but regardless of the narrative that he took all of Nadal’s time away, his depth/length was just unacceptable. He knew the ball wouldn’t kick up on clay, so why not aim for depth and pull the trigger on the FH side as soon as you get a slightly short ball? His...

It seems like people - often his “fans” - have been practically begging for his retirement since 2013. Maybe earlier, I’m sure some people could tell me? How many times has he proven you wrong? The answer is countless times. So I ask, why can’t you just allow him to have off days at this older...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/04/john-mcenroe-compares-novak-djokovic-golfer-tiger-woods-suggests/ Speaking about Djokovic's period of poor form, McEnroe compared the former Wimbledon champion with Woods, who in the past has had a high-profile divorce, been arrested, and suffered...

Nick Kyrgios... well I don't need to get into all his misdemeanors. Bernard Tomic has a long history of embarrassing himself. Most recently his lastest Wimby presser. Even Kokkinakis was saying he considered retirement after some injury troubles. He's only 21 years old. Australia has such a...

Rafa just made a slam final, against all odds it seems (like Roger) and he only lost to the greatest player of all time, who finally conquered his demons and played a superb final vs Nadal. What a spectacle we witnessed. I want to say congratulations to Federer fans, I think he truly deserves...

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has been injured by a knife-wielding attacker at her home. The player's spokesman, Karel Tejkal, says Kvitova suffered a left hand injury and has been treated by doctors. Tejkal says the incident, which he described as a burglary, occurred Tuesday...

The tour has been around for ages. Players come and go. I know some of you guys have been watching since forever, a lot longer than me. Obviously everyone's enjoyment in tennis will rise and fall all the time. I'm curious to know how you feel about tennis right now? Forget weak eras and all...

Andy Murray is open to the possibility of reuniting with former coach Ivan Lendl after splitting with Amelie Mauresmo. The British world number three announced on Monday that he would no longer be working with the Frenchwoman. Murray won Wimbledon, the US Open and Olympic gold during two years...

They both played Djokovic this week. Both made it "interesting" lol. Goffin is 25 and ranked 15. Thiem is 22 and ranked 14. I personally think they're the Ferrer and Berdych (not in style, results) of tomorrow... solid as hell, top 10 regulars, special at times, but not quite good enough to...

LOL I'm a prat, I know. Djesus will be dishing out more beatdowns over the next few years. Stay tuned..

Djokovic just retired from his match against Feli Lopez. Kyrgios faces Wawrinka, a kind of grudge match. They did play on the same team at ITPL, maybe they sorted it out? Doubt it And Baghdatis plays Lopez. So, will Kyrgiois rule in Dubai or will Stan cruise to victory and dedicate the win...

Big hitters - who will win this intriguing match up?

"It wasn’t just the press and fans who were jumping to conclusions this week; Naomi Boady of Great Britain got into the act as well. Despite the fact that she had just won a point to take a lead in a final-set tiebreaker, Broady fought to have her opponent, Jelena Ostapenko, defaulted after...

Congrats to Murray, fantastic year. Year end number 2, Davis Cup win (single handedly) and an Aussie Open Final. I had 4 guys above him (Farah, Froome, Fury and Hamilton), but he did him self proud yet again this year, so congrats to him and all his fans :)

I find it a weird one, so significant in most peoples eyes. Why I say weird is, Djokovic has zoomed past Nadal in weeks at no1, congrats to the fella. But what does that say about Nadal? Nadal has more titles, more masters 1000's, more slams (and that is what you play for, right?).. but has...

Beat the Bryans in straights on Sunday and beat Murray and Peers in straights today. Straight through to the semi finals. Class

With the Paris crown, Novak has broken the Masters 1000 record once again, with 6 of them this season. Congrats to him and all his fans
