Alexander Dolgopolov Retires

[borg number one]

Such a talented player. I loved watching him play. Great touch, speed, and creativity.

I remember when he wore a black ribbon indicating that UKraine had been Invaded by Russia.

7 to 2 in favor of Nadal and of those two defeats, the Ukrainian needed three sets to do the unthinkable.

Became 7-2 after few years but with a unorthodox style beating Nadal in slow bouncing courts is commendable

2014?

I just think these guys are going to war to fight. And possibly die. And all of this tennis stuff seems not important. Sigh. People arguing about Russian players not being able to play and how it would be unfair. These people are going to war.

Do you really need me to share history with you? Even Vera Zvonareva was against the invasion….

It is quite sad that innocent people sacrifice themselves when the real culprits are very comfortable giving orders without showing any hint of remorse.

No, I just don't remember Dolgo wearing it, or rather I think I do, but wasn't sure when, so I was was asking for year so I could go do a google search with a date in mind. But given Dolgo active years yes of course 2014.

But given your curt response you're on the ignore list, no problems.

Do I need the history lesson you imply?

My everyday sources range from a good read

You will not be one I read however, and I could go much further than that.

Be careful posting about tennis players being directly connected the biggest story on the planet - the mods here will have none of that!

Yer just trying relay what the Dolgo said himself and as such is just reporting. A tennis player involved in this war is should be something we can be involved in.

 

[Tommy Haas]

I saw him on a Fox News interview. He no longer has the pony tail and is sporting a goatee. He looks much more masculine now. When I first saw him on tour, I was wondering if it was some sort Lia Thomas situation.
