Come on Sinner you are the new kid on the block. You have humility and good manners, like the one and only Rafa Nadal. Neither of you ask the spectators to clap and cheer for you. 👍
I will be sad when the likes of Wawrinka and Monfils hang up their rackets.
Very good afternoon of tennis! All my favourites got through, even though Alcaraz caused a bit of stress! Coco did well, Emma's doing grand. Great first week so far
Emma R is playing well against a Greek opponent called Sakkari. I love watching all the matches that I can but sometimes I have to do it through my fingers.
I am an unashamed Alcaraz fan and he had me worried today for a whole 4 sets. Tiafoe, his opponent, played a darned good match. I hope the fierce challenge woke Alcaraz up as he can’t afford to coast in any matches. The standard of opponents is just so high.
I can recommend the documentary on ilPlayer about Andy Murray, and the one on Federer on Amazon Prime. Kleenex will be needed !
Thankyou Sparklefizz, didn’t know about the Federer one. I’ve never been his biggest fan but he was a fantastic, and beautiful, tennis player. Could never really understand the blazer and flannels or the cardi.
