I mean he's lost 4 on the bounce and now he's talking up winning Wimbledon? Eurosport Article Former world No. 1 Andy Murray has spent much of the last five years on the fringes of top-level professional tennis and is once again struggling with his form. However the experienced Scot is...

Since 2019, all Grand Slams have been losing their own personality for some reason that I never heard of. Some of the sad changes made by each major: -AO: No more Thu-Fri night men's SF and Thu afternoon women's SF, no more ad-set final set. -RG: Scheduled night sessions, divided one-W one-M QF...

As soon as Nadal turned up to the US Open in this brown monstrosity, it was clear his tournament was doomed: After all, we can see that in recent years, since Moya became coach, Nadal’s results are entirely decided by the quality of his kit. GOATy kits == Slam wins . . . . . . Nice and...

Man was bombing down serves, volleying like prime PETE and hammering that forehand. 82 winners, 36 aces against a GOAT returner who had shown great form against Kyrgios and Berrettini. Kyrgios himself can only dream of that kind of brutality. Big John can still beat absolutely anyone on his day...

The idol is matched! :cool:

Just a reflection... I missed the women's final (for my son's swim meet -- they won, very few people care) but I just caught up with the post-match press conferences of both Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina. So, I'll hope to catch match highlights later, but for now, I just want to post that it...

During Kyrgios - Tsitsipas, while they were closing the roof, one of the commentators (pretty sure it was John Lloyd) said: "Without being disrespectful, it really is the weakest Wimbledon we've seen since I can remember" Commentators usually always talk about how tennis has never been better...

Should Wimbledon and other tournaments advance the previous matches loser in the event of a withdrawal? In this case Fritz to the Semis vs Kygrios. Don't the fans end up losing without a match?

For all the marbles! Jabeur has improved a lot since last year, but last year, she lost to Sabalenka 6-4, 6-3, so she can potentially be hit off the court by Rybakina. My take is that Rybakina’s biggest weakness is her mental game and she can commit a lot of UEs when she gets tight. She...
