I don’t get why everyone gives him so much grief because of his mother. How is she a bad influence? She seems very supportive and proud of her son.

Adored her in her day, but she should only be entered into events based on her ranking now. Wild cards being located are scandalous.

No….

Even if he draws Novak in R1?

I think the challenge is, if they let him in there will be one hell of a media circus and it’ll be global news, dredging up everything from the previous year. Do the Australians want another circus in town? I’d be very surprised.

If that is the case he’s a fool to play tbh.

I wish this forum had a kids section and an adults section, as some of the posters on here have a terrible lack of maturity! This thread is a perfect example of some spotty teenagers sitting at home making childish comments about the looks of others.

Never even heard of this guy, clearly keen to get some publicity.

Didn’t he miss Queens due to the elbow injury? JCF said he was struggling with the heavy balls, causing pain in his elbow, hence he had to withdraw from Queens. Not ideal preperation, but he’s young and the extra days off will allow him to rest the arm.

You talk about him like he’s a seasoned player. yeah, he has to develop, but there is plenty to be excited about. It’s unlikely he’ll break through this year, but I’m confident it’ll come. This was his 7th Slam. He‘s made the 2nd round, 3rd round, 2nd round, quarter final, 3rd round, quarter...

We said that too, it was disgraceful how they spent the entire match going after him! I was wishing I could mute it tbh. Pat Cash was a disgrace too then quoting at negative text from his som referencing Krygrios. And I don’t even like NK, but that was way too much.

I don’t think it’s his strongest surface, I just think the gap between him and those who can challenge is just bigger than on all other surfaces. At the moment there aren’t really any contenders here to take him out, so he’s a heavy fav for me. I just don’t see anyone who can take him out. I’m...

I think a lot of these people are just immature kids, you can tell by the way they write and express themselves, so I’d pay no attention. No intelligent adult would write some of the ridiculous and childish things that are written in here. We just have to learn to live with this, Twitter is the...

I can’t see it tbh and I don’t think she is coming with any expectation. I think this is her last tournament as she was quite coy about playing the US Open. She also didn’t answer the question on how long she’s been training. I just think she wants a proper goodbye at her favourite tournament.

You have to remember odds are also based on the amount of bets that have been placed on a player, it’s not always reflective of who are realistically in the running.

Who is 172cm? Obviously Carlos is way taller, but you seem to have massive insecurities issues with him, otherwise you wouldn’t try to discredit him with your immature postings. Obviously, if he wasn’t already showing fantastic promise you wouldn’t be continually posting about him, he seems to...

I think if he makes the second week it’s a huge achievement. He’s got very little experience on grass and the pressure is off with no points on offer. He’ll likely have one eye on the hard court season.. The tournament’s Novak’s to lose tbh. Anything short of a win for him is a huge upset.

Didn’t Novak win Miami when he was 19 years and 11 months old, to win his first Masters? I think he won his second in Canada at 20 years old.

He won two ATP500 and two Masters in the first 6 months of the year and is ranked 7 at just 19, he has plenty time. The hype is justified, but of course the kids who don’t like him will take any chance to snipe and discredit..

Nobody should be even talking about her! Loads of her slams were national competitions with smaller draws! Top players never travelled to Australia back in those days, she won a battle of the Aussies and got credit as a slam.

French media reporting Zverev will skip Wimbledon but will be back in August. Fortunately, the injury can’t be as severe as some were stating. https://www.lequipe.fr/Tennis/Article/Apres-sa-blessure-a-roland-garros-alexander-zverev-vise-l-us-open/1337288

No, just the once, in a third set tie breaker in Vienna. His second win came post Australia, again in the three sets, in Rio.

Well he was way higher a seed than him at the time, and made it to the semis, if you look who has taken him out at previous slams recently it’s been Nadal and Djokovic. Though that said Alcaraz should have won. Anyway I can’t agree Alcaraz has had easy draws, if he had he would have been drawn...

That would be bad for him! Alcaraz always seems to get hard draws! Got Berrittini in the third round in Australia, had Nadal, Djokovic and Zverev in Madrid. Nadal in the semis in Indian Wells. Hopefully he’ll get a break soon and get some easier draws tbh.

Ruud is a lovely guy, a real gent, but he was a massive benefactor of the draw. Had he been slotted in the top half he wouldn’t have gotten close to the final. But that’s not his fault, he can only play what they put in front of him. Fair play to him, now he’ll benefit from easier draws.

Such a tasteless post. The got a serious and maybe a career ending injury, no need for this to be honest.

Zverev announced on social media he has a very serious injury and is waiting for more news from his medical team. Wonder how long he’ll be out for?

The closed roof doesn’t suit Nadal at all! He’s way better outdoors with the sun beating down! Anyway there is a 90% chance of rain on Sunday so there is good chance it’s going to be played indoors.

But those events need big players to attract fans, can’t criticise the guy for playing tennis and winning events.
