It isn't natural, it is a deliberate choice, a response to what happened at the US Open. Daniil Medvedev had just won the biggest title of his career, "the best victory" of his life at the ATP Finals, but did not celebrate. Instead, he just looked to his box, shrugged, emptied a ball from his...

'Long covid': Grigor Dimitrov on still suffering from coronavirus symptoms Speaking to BBC Sport, former world number three tennis player Grigor Dimitrov described the "very unpredictable" symptoms he suffered , and how the virus - contracted in June - "lingered for a while". The 29-year-old...

I think it's amazing that Nadal is such a student of the game that he can just reel off the CV of players off the top of his head in response to an impromptu question.

This can't go on forever. Nextgen will breakthrough at sometime and then none of the Big 3 will be winning slams. Except Nadal at Roland Garros. So Djokovic needs to get on with it. My money is on Rafa ending up with the most.

Tired bored. He wants to go home.

Federer's serve is a swan. Elegant from the waist up but ugly legs. He looks like a baby kicking while having its nappy changed.

That is contentious to say the least. But hands down, Marcelo Rios. World No. 1, silky smooth game, a fantastic mover and not a slam winner. Arguably the best player not to win a slam.

Desperate headline. Desperate thread.

The whole monarchy thing is extremely cringe: If you are going to do that, do it with humour:

A World No. 1 winning the least number of games in an open era Grand Slam final. That one will stand for some time, I would have thought. Although I thought Djokovic was giving it a real go at Roland Garros this year but he rallied in the 3rd set.

Quite frankly the players would be mad to come to England at present. We are currently running at nearly 100,000 new infections per day.

It isn't a death in the family. He would probably have been punished by the ATP.

"He just blew me off the court, that's all," Djokovic said after the match, per the ATP website. "He was better in every segment of the game... it was a pretty bad match from my side, but amazing from his side. He definitely deserved this result." Djokovic entered Vienna hoping to gain a few...
