Medvedev is all we could ask for, changing his game to suit a surface , witty and just fun to watch.
That match point shot just a dream...

Is this a genuine misspelling or are you adding a slur to Tsitsipas' name?
it's a slur, this next gen are more obsessed with Instagram and love island then they are with training hard and winning, the reason why big 3 are still winning is more of a indictment on this new gen, then is of praise for the big 3. The big 3 have stopped taking masters 1000 seriously, allowing the door to be opened for them, but they are miles away in best of 5 tennis, and are mentally weak. Could you really see Lendl or Martina Nav, being mentally down and refusing to do media duties??? Not blaming Osaka, but the society that has created this. I have even seen odds over on MTF that she will appear as non-binary before Wimbledon.

How are slurs like this allowed on this board!? As an openly gay man, I find this pretty offensive. The word 'sissy' has been chucked around for many, many years to abuse gay or effeminate men and your use of it in an almost proud way is not acceptable. I've been on this board for a number of years, and really love it due to the vast tennis knowledge on here and the active debates. But time and time again I see your xenophobic, bigoted and just hateful messages, which really frustrates me and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Rant over, but I'd personally appreciate people avoiding using derogatory terms on this board.

Absolute right in everything except the "vast tennis knowledge"

Christine · Intermediate Club Player

Totally agree - it's refreshing that this board is largely inoffensive

Crispy · Strong Club Player

Completely agree - let's keep this forum a safe space for everyone, because it's a delight and a privilege to be sat here talking about tennis obsessively.

This poster is in a minority of 1, possibly 2 on this board. Be safe in the knowledge that what they post says absolutely nothing about you and everything about them.

Well, my love of Musetti just goes up and up.

From back last autumn, when he was still 18, and SO SO impressive at top adult level, it was written in the stars. Sinner was right. The lad's amazing. And a real gift to the fans.

He may eventually lose today against Djoko. But it's just so inventive and fun to watch.

Jajon · Club Coach

Im assuming Novak will come back to win because Ive seen this film before but Jesus, mary, Joseph and the wee donkey- Musetti has TALENT

(not me struggling with the edit button ooop)

Hope Djoko doesnt get dust in his eye, twinge or any of the other things that seem to crop up when things not going his way....

Schwartzman through!!

A few bookies would have already paid out by now (after going 2 sets up) if anyone backed the young'un?
