2019 ATP General News

I thought this idiot & his lame defensive game was DONE! Gawd, we have to have another return! Anyone think he can match the resurgences of Fedalovic in any way; maybe at least get back to #4? I personally doubt it & hope he gracefully leaves again before embarrassing himself!

For as much as you complain about the lost gen and otherwise random tennis players who don't step up to the plate and take a title off of those who are hogging them up, I would have thought that you, of all people, might have some respect for Andy Murray. But no. Apparently actually taking on the big guys is relative for you. Doesn't count that Andy's done it? I get if you don't like his game, but he's put on the the Big Boy pants more often than almost anyone else playing.

Well, it's about time that they listen their bodies, I hope Rafa won't play in Cincy and then he will be more fresh at the USO than last year

I like in theory what you are hoping for rest for Rafa but selfishly I will feel a bit empty if he doesn't play Cincy because I will be attending the tournament again this year. The reality is Cincy is not the goal , it's the US open.which for this US fan sucks.

I suppose Rafa won't play in Cincy but it will depend of his results in Canada. He looks healthy so I have all my hope he will do a great USO

Chung is back playing challenger in Chengdu (China) after almost 6 months off due to pain in his back. He won a first match. Will be interesting to see how it goes for him this time.

Nadal - De Minaur may be an interesting first rounder.

Unlikely, but how about Stan v. Dimitrov first round. Now that is interesting.

Only reason I say it is because the dude just won Atlanta. Bit if a groove .

Jurgen Melzer too

 

[Fiero425]

Federer & Nadal join ATP Council

Fedal was President & VP respectively years ago! I can't imagine taking on responsibility again after their initial tenure on the Council? :whistle:

This could spell some bad losses for Djokovic who tends to get very distracted by tennis politics. Time will tell.

 

[atttomole]

I don’t follow tennis politics that much. Does it mean that Djokovic is being pushed aside with the return of Federer and Nadal to the council?

Doubtful! They're just there in reserve to fill chairs and to pretend they're actually doing something! Djokovic was truly in a quandary as President with issues going on behind the scenes dealing with leadership and the future of the ATP tour! :whistle: :cuckoo:
