It has to be illegal. It's one player altering the conditions of play to what they perceive to be their advantage.

I quite like the umpires who disrespect the players. There's no shortage of players who disrespect the umpire, and also players who think their role is to both play and umpire the match.

I've only seen Raonic play about half a dozen times but every time I've watched him his game has been riddled with unforced errors at important moments. Massively overrated on what I've seen

His run started by winning the lead up tournament to Wimbledon last year. His best chance might be to get there at the French Open because he has a lot more points to defend from then on.

Given John Tomic's mastery of the flying head butt, I wonder if he'll consider using it to encourage Bernard next time he gives up in a perfectly winnable match.

Can anyone name a good young Spaniard following on from Nadal? Young people from every country saw Federer: No reason why the Swiss would follow any more than young people from other countries.

Haas wasn't only hampered by injury. he was also prone to choking under pressure. But it's still a brilliant performance to get back to where he is in the rankings.

Tomic is unlikely to improve dramatically unless he runs out of money. A 2nd round masters series loss probably earns him about $20k. Not bad for a weeks work.

A single year is not an era. The last decade can be broken into two eras: 2004-2007 when Federer was dominant and 2008-2012 when the same 4 players finished the year in the top 4 rankings. 2004 -...

My recollection is the umpire said "even I can serve better than that" after a string of Davydenko double faults. I watched it live and couldn't believe what I heard.
