Nah he is a hoax. Overated idiot and will end up in the commentary box where to be fair he goes OK with his outspoken views. Entertaining I will give him that.
A bit like our other aussie overrate Mark Phillipoussis. What happened to him? Another supreme talent with no ticker. Could beat anyone on his day and again to be fair won 2 Davis Cups. Flogged Sampras at his best and then loses matches he should win.
On the other hand other Aussies Rafter Hewitt and De Manuer show up in a battle.
That speaks volumes.
Congrats to Carlito for his first Monte Carlo title (pity for Musetti getting injured in the second set).
Alcaraz mentioned something about something upsetting him in his life which has made it difficult recently to concentrate on tennis. Makes sense because his levels have been well below his grand slam winning levels.
Wonder what’s going on. He didn’t go into details. Such a happy go lucky lad, must be something serious!
This actually explain a lot about his recent form fluctuations. Can’t blame the lad to prioritise mental health and peace.
What a career. But now it looks like Djokovic is done.
Jack Draper’s progression this season has been scarily good! just reached his first clay court semi-final! In a Masters 1000 event!! Having already won his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells! Hasn’t lost a set yet! Bageled Arnaldi in the first set in the qf
Into the final he goes against Ruud on Sunday, that 2nd set took a lot out of him but he found the power in the tiebreak which proved to be the difference.
Not seen much of Ruud this tour but his resume in the Madrid open is phenominal.
I’m not going to jinx him by saying anything. He’s playing phenomenally and fully deserves to be the current world no 5. He’s playing like he belongs with the very very top players.
Yeah he’s come along way since that horror show against Norrie at Wimbledon last summer, I would have him as a darkhorse for a grand slam but then I see guys like Mensik coming from nowhere and Berrettini finding his A game again after countless injuries.
Shame the final clashes with our game, although hoping it goes the 3 sets with the first being a tiebreaker.
I think he might blow Ruud off the court. Especially since Ruud is nursing some kind of shoulder injury.
Alas no.
But yeah hopefully he will have a good showing at the slams this year.
