No point to Casper Ruud is there really?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

You always know in sport when players or fans are at rock bottom after a defeat when they start saying that they would have taken it if offered it at the start of a season.
Ruud will probably have a big win one day.

not against the likes of djokovic...is this really a revelation?

 

[Niall]

He seems like a good lad, but he's basically David Ferrer II who unlike the Spaniard will clean up once Nadal/Djokovic retire.

What happened with Casper yesterday, apart from losing to Novak?

Djokovic will be around for another 4-5 years at least and a whole lot of “next gen” waiting to “clean up”…FAA, Rudd, Rublev, Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev…the only truly great young talent out there is Alcaraz and I hope he does clean up, those other dipshits are just not worth a whole lot in the overall scheme of things…

Apparently Australia has just lost the Davis Cup final

Barely mentioned here

 

[Anil]

Canada was clearly the better team and won as expected…

I thought he was her latest coach.

 

[Anil]

is she getting married?

Boris released from prison today and deported to Germany, and won’t have to serve any more of his sentence.
Sky have taken the US Open back. Amazon actually did okay after a very bad start.

the ladies section at the aussie open should be interesting...i know she got to the semis last year but there are players who can take iga out on fast courts so unless she gets a really favorable draw, i don't see her going all the way this year...

 

[Niall]

Saba in God Mode. Hand her the trophy ASAP. ??

 

[Anil]

By contrast, Iga had to really sweat it out against Niemeier…

Brutal first round draw that tbf. Niemeier seems to like slams (and nothing else) and probably should have beaten Iga in the US Open.

 

[Anil]

Yeah powerful player…luckily for Iga, she wasn’t consistent enough…

Legendary stuff from Murray yesterday. Did not think he had another game like that in him.

Hope he can put a real run together, but not sure.
