?? is he conscripted into putin's army or something? also djokovic is the best male player on grass, khachanov isn't nearly as good, you should know this... :)
I'm guessing he means Russian player on Grrass.

Also in Russian news, Sharapova is pregnant to a tall Englishman, now I'm a tall Englishman, I'm not necessarily taking credit....

She lost 6-4 6-4,,,didn't see the game but that's as good as pretty much anyone can do against Iga at the moment especially on clay.

@Niall assume you indulged in your favorite pastime of losing money on Sabalenka again? ?
ha,,,nobody would dare oppose Iga these days.

Novak looked knackered today, nice he got some wins this week but not sure he can win a Slam in this form.

Wimbledon has finally decided the vaccination rule is unnecessary. Djoko apparently considering a boycott because Boris Johnson is crazy. No one would actually care, despite the very sound reasoning.

he will play, has been pretty much unbeatable there in recent years and it's his best chance of picking up a slam and keeping pace with nadal...

Raducanu playing well during the clay season so far…
Yeah, quite surprising, she looks a natural and throwing in drop-shots like a dirt-ball specialists, took people like Sharapova about 10 years to get this proficient.

It's very surprising considering two weeks ago she looked like she'd never seen a clay court and couldn't play half an hour without being covered in blisters.

I like Martina saying Wimbledon are "missing the bigger picture" by banning the Russian players. Not sure what the bigger picture is. The idea that they should be allowed to play if they denounce the war is pretty ludicrous. Denouncing Putin is not quite the same as Gary Neville saying what a dick Boris Johnson is.

I think it's safe to say Emma is a quite quick learner.

I'm a bit conflicted on the Russian ban, on one hand I do feel it's a bit unfair on the players, but the fact is Putin is using athletes at rallies. Yet as you say it's kinda hard to speak out about Putin, and think it's a bit naive to suggest it. Putin has been known to attack people beyond his borders.
