lol, didn't say I blame him considering Mirka and his age, but maybe he'd have won more with no rugrats :D
but the flipside is that he's done his business now. He can just keep playing. At some point you have to imagine Xisca's going to be pointing out that all of Rafa's closest rivals have happy families. She'll be saying... "Rafa what's up with that?" :D

Come on, we need a long thread for it. If there were just a couple of posts for each game in that match, it will run to 100 pages.
I doubt I would even visit that thread if it was created. I mean who cares!?

I want Rafa to have kids badly because he's the emotional sissy that could be ruined by it. But I have a feeling the only stick he knows how to swing is his racquet.

You are missing the point. If that thread were there, you can safely ignore it. Without that thread, all those comments will spill in to other threads and it will be difficult to sift through.

I think we have made enough comments already about that match, let's move on.

Come on folks, these days women bank their eggs if they decide not to have children at optimal time but might want one later.

After the first week is over, with just 16 men left standing, here is what bookies say.

1. Federer 19/20 (51%)
2. Novak 5 (17%)
3. Rafa 11/2 (15%)
4. Del Potro 9 (10%)
5. Raonic 20 (5%)
6. Nishikori 40 (2.4%)
7. Anderson 50 (2%)
8. Isner 80 (1.2%)
9. Tsitsipas / Khachanov / Gulbis 100 (1%)

Three from the previous list (bolded in the above quote) of bookies gone now. I will give some time for the market to digest today's events and check the current situation later tonight.

humiliation? I'll happily be humiliated for $300m mate
Let's face it when Djokovic was wearing the brand not sure who cared? Now that brand has global importance in tennis wear. Created cache and Nike looks like they made a major mistake.

It’s good to see Delpo and Djoker doing well. I would love to see them pick up slams this year. If Djoker doesn’t make it here, then I would look for him at the Open. Don’t know where this sense of urgency and determination from him came, but I like it. Also, Delpo has always been a fave. I hope he can win one more slam before he retires.
