Did I hear Johnny Mc say that Federer is trying to make a comeback after 15 months? He’s got a damn high hill to climb against all these power hitting youngsters. I’d love to see it, but don’t see it…..

Well, for me, All in all, not a bad day for my rooting interests yesterday. Other than Ajla loss, I was pretty happy.

Lets go Pegula tonight!!!

Federer is 40 I think. Sounds like Joe Lewis making a boxing Comeback at the age of 45

"So long New York. It's been real."

[Gtkgasman]

Yeah. Shame. I like watching Rafa!!!

And Ajla just lost. Damn. And Collins last nite. I’m a jinx - everybody I want loses. 😆

Ons J is very likable person!!! 👍👍. She’s funny.

ooh, I forgot Pegula is still going. Let’s hope I don’t jinx her too. 😂

Nadal goes down. Not surprising. At 35 he may be at the end of the road but we will see him at the Australian and French

[alex peters]

Wood rackets!!! Yeah man!!! Ahh, Those were the days. I had 3 models back then that carried me through my playing days -
Ashe’s Comp model, broke while playing.
Borg’s Donnay mode, also broke while playing.
and John Mc’s Kramer Pro Staff - I still have it, but it’s cracked.

Those were my fav guys. So that’s what I played.

Along with a few others like Connors and Lendl. But I didn’t like jimmys t2000 at all. Lol.

I played with Connors t2000. I liked it. Those were the days. Tennis 4 days per week and golf 3 times per week

[Gtkgasman]

I agree. And there was no performance enhancement drugs and steroids in her day. And wood rackets

I’m looking forward to the upcoming matches, mens and womens sides, like it when it’s up in the air. Rooting for most
of the the USA folks, and Nadal, and if I can’t choose, I pull for whomever the underdog is.

I like Nadal. Not sure at 35 he can win it all on a surface that is not his favorite but the man has a mental toughness second to none so you cannot count him out

Performance enhancing drugs taken over a long period of time affect one's personality and judgment. You see numerous sports figures act and do crazy things that sometimes even have devastating consequences on the rest of their lives like the guy going 90 mph in a 40 zone and flipping over and lucky not to kill himself or others. I have traveled on that street and going 90 on that road and around the bends is crazy.

And you know what the first thing the hero worshipping media said? They blamed it on the road.

Yeah. We all know I’m pretty intolerant of people not taking responsibility for their actions……..to the point where I make an arse of myself and say stupid things myself. Lol

Court is spot on with her assessment and observations:

Continuing to speak out about the former world No.1, Court said it was ‘bad’ that she didn’t speak about Tomljanovic following their clash at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams lost the match 7-5, 6-7(4), 6-1.

“I thought it was bad that Williams didn’t mention her opponent more when she spoke,” she says. “We were taught to honour our opponent. We respected one another.”

And The post match was ridiculous- making Tomljanivic sit there while they interviewed and gushed on serena on court, before finally speaking to her. Whoever scheduled and planned that at espn needs their head examined.
