Really like Andy's dry sense of humor, and he loves watching and analyzing tennis, so I hope he goes into commentating.

 

[Sum Buddy Ells]

Great Britain should, in my opinion, declare tomorrow a public holiday so that the nation can come together to watch what could be the great Scot's final match as a pro player in the main tennis tour.

Great to have Tom back, totally missed what transpired, who was the counter-puncher?

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Really shouldn't rehash this, so to sum it up, there are a few guys who usually lurk in the weird favorite player wars in GPD, and one guy in particular, who started macho posturing and spewing hateful sentiments including homophobic remarks in "Odds & Ends" threads, which got Tom fuming.

 

[Vcore89]

Giving obvious pleasure to the chauvinist posturer?

 

[stringertom]

Returning to the scene of the crime does not promote inner healing.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Golden State Warriors former player David Lee, no relation to Stagger Lee, ignores Caro because he's a self-obsessed photographer.

Rafa, Rafa bagel baker is destroying the Czech Berd, who is understatedly struggling.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Gamesmanship is something Danielle Collins has been accused of, rightly or wrongly I couldn't say, but to me she is quite an attacking and aggressive player.

 

[stringertom]

Rafa vs the aspiring Greek videographer is scheduled for very early on my Thursday morning.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Glimmer of hope that Nishikori may defeat Djokovic is mine to ponder.

 

[stringertom]

Robbing PCB of a replay in that SB vs Kei left him fuming.

Greek Perseus won’t be petrified of Spanish Medusa Monster!

Reviewing in my mind, I see this match as Theseus descending into the Minotaur’s labyrinth, slaying the beast and escaping the maze with fair Ariadne’s guidance using a great length of Luxilon string.

"Gonna walk all over you!

You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt, hah
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn

These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, boots?
Start walking," purrs Lucie in a menacing manner.

Running on empty would describe RBA’s condition midway through the third set vs Tsits. The phrase is also the title of a great Jackson Browne song.

Grandiosity is not an attribute of every tennis warrior.

Raindrops are falling on my head....

Wimbledon has a solution to stop us soaking...

Graffiti artist Lucie Safarova goes nuts with her painting on city walls when she is not on the tennis tour.

Raonic has reclaimed his crown from Prince Shapo as Canadian king.

Going postal in his younger years was once the moral timbre of Federer.

 

[stringertom]

Rogerio Dutra Silva and Edouard Roger Vasselin may have parts of their names that resemble fedr’s given name but that’s where the similarities suffer an abrupt ending.

Guillermo Vilas lost the 1982 Roland Garros final to Mats Wilander.

Resigned to defeat at RG by another Swede was Willie the Argentine clay king.

Grigor Dimitrov is a handsome and talented young tennis professional who has in the past been nicknamed “Baby Federer.”

 

[stringertom]

RogiRogi...so good there has to be two babes a-baking every time the oven is warming.

 

[Vcore89]

Good for Naomi winning the whole thing, minus the serene [sic] one stealing her thunder.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Really like Petra, but i also like Naomi, so I hope both can leave Australia smiling.

 

[stringertom]

Going to Oz and leaving #2 with a load of cash in the register.

 

[Vcore89]

Respect for Petra's dedication and perseverance, who would've thought she'd be back for more on-court glory when in fact doctors thought she only had a minuscule chance of ever playing professionally again, just amazing.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Grim feelings gripped me this morning as I watched Nadal play Djokovic and realized he would not be today’s winner.

 

[stringertom]

Really wanted another classic but it ended with a whimper and not a bang.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

George Cosac is a former Romanian tennis player and currently president of the Romanian Tennis Federation, who unsurprisingly wished not to comment on the matter of Ilie Nastase’s nasty comments about Johanna Konta and Serena Williams, basically condoning Nastase’s behavior.

Rambunctious prima donna duo of Bernie and Nick [to a lesser extent the Big 3 in the advent of Andeh's imminent retirement] greases [current] the whole of the ATP shebang!

Geneva, Switzerland hosts a 250 tournament each May as a warm-up to the French Open; past participants in the Geneva Open have included Marian Vajda, Mats Wilander and David Ferrer.

Regarding this tournament, there was a 24-year gap when this event was not a part of the rites of spring.

Goolagong, the recipient of the Philippe Chatrier Award might be an alternative if they ever replace the number 2 court, M. Court in Melbourne Park so long they're not the names of those [they are clearly jockeying for position] who campaigned for it.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Thiem, the personable Austrian, is a fantastic tennis player, though some observers claim he does too much ball bashing.

 

[Sum Buddy Ells]

Game of Thrones's Night King preparing for war against the Iron Throne claimants is somewhat like Sascha Zverev (under Lendl's tutelage) preparing to finally usurp the Big 3 in the majors – everybody watch out.

 

[stringertom]

Thiem’s record of 1-5 (including exhos) in 2019 is in a category I consider alarming.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Game, set and match point can take quite a bit of time during the majors, or not.

Tournament director Guy Forget has expressed delight that Roger Federer plans to come to Paris this May and knows his participation will make the French Open extra exciting.

Tissue thin walls and hollow bodied Cortex construction of those French Tennis Mafia racquets make them subject to fractures from big hitting.

Ginger-haired German Boris Becker is the youngest ever winner of the Wimbledon gentlemen’s singles title at 17, and claimed it again at age 18 to boot.

 

[stringertom]

Tim Henman always seemed to be in the running to be Wimbledon king.

 

[Sum Buddy Ells]

Germany's Angie Kerber previously mentioned training with Steffi Graf which had helped grow her self-belief before winning her maiden Slam at the age of 28.

Can a partnership with Graf's hubby work similar wonders with Grigor Dimitrov this year as he's also turning twenty-eight?

 

[stringertom]

Time is running out for the LostGen guys to bag a slam before the NextGen starts maturing.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Grueling weather conditions at the 2018 US Open brought about more than one match retirement.
