How's every last fella and lady in the place?

Things are looking very 2019 on the tenny landscape, right? Check it!

I see that all the 30-somethings are lighting it up, per usual. The youthful (and prime) mighta-beens are gettin' waxed. Beach season approaches, natch!

On the plus side, the 37.6-year-old GOAT looks poised to re-take the no. 3 spot.

P.S. Wasn't Nadal grievously injured at some point in the recent past? That not a thing?

Give hating on Rafa a rest. He DOES play a style that's hard on his body, have we not been saying that since 2005? Yet when he isn't feeling perfect every tournament, we give him hell when he's weeks away from turning 33. He's always been able to implement himself the easiest on clay (which is clearly easier on his knees than HC) there's no story here.

Having a bad day, Mike? Usually you aren't this angry!

Look. Old is gold. It's hot right now.

But ducks are getting more love than they bargained for, no? ;)

And yeah, no new story. Predictable, okay... timeless appeal, though.

Almost everyone apart from the Big 3 in the top 15 is falling backwards harder than they are. Zverev is on schedule out of top 10. Tsitsipas is super inconsistent, Nishikori is on a cold streak, Thiem had like one good tournament, Delpo defends a ****tonne of points

Eh.

Okay. So who we got...

@MichaelNadal @haqq777 @Azure @Rafa.the.Magnificent @Mainad @Sport @ak24alive

(Just listing those who've commented without acknowledging the glaring duck, or cosigned on the omission.)

Par for the course for a couple of those folks. But some of the others... what's up? And ak? It doesn't bother you even a little?
I don't usually reply to troll posts (plus the fact that you are an open Rafa hater) but MN has a valid point. Hence the like. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. That will be all for now.

Alone

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others saw—I could not bring
As others were—I have not seen
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

Edgar Allan Poe; Alone
