I beg your pardon you are the naive person? From your post your the one living in Fairy Land,just proves my point you are a Nut Case

You are Not in the Medical Profession You Do Not Know Anything about it full stop,making up Lies and False Accusations Again regarding Doctors,Nurses.

You have no idea about Science at all,stop with your BS. Period.

.You and Mille deserve one another both Nut Cases.

I wasnt going to answer your post and go down to your level.I have had you on my Ignore List for sometime,thank goodness

Dont you dare respond to me again in any way shape or form on this blog.You have never contributed anything constructive period.

I can't understand why Moxie gives you the time of day.Start on me again and I will go to the Tented or KsKate.

Enough is Enough Rubbish From You Period.
I noticed it a while ago.

I never insulted you.
We have different opinions.
You judge me without knowing anything about me.
Thats pretty arrogant to do so , to think your point of view is the only right one.

So be it.

By the way I am in the medical profession for years, more than you can imagine.

Let's bear in mind that Admins are probably only just getting up in the USA and might not read this thread for a while.

We should be able to police ourselves really, so here is a suggestion.

Keep the tennis sections free of political/medicinal theories and keep these in off-topic, where it's more of an "anything goes" environment. There's plenty of scope in those threads to push theories, arguments and opinions. If you check them out, you'll see it's a pretty aggressive section:


Be mindful that medical personnel are under the cosh right now, some might just want to visit a tennis forum to get away from hassle and talk about stuff other than medical theories. It is a tennis board after all. Telling somebody they are in for the money, after they have come home after a mammoth stressful shift might just hit some raw nerves. Likewise, a ton of people are going stir crazy.

What do you think? It would be nice to have a little community to come back to when this is all over... let's not kill each other in the meantime. (other than the off-topic threads, where slaughter is acceptable)

spoken like a gentleman :ok-hand:.

I can only speak for myself, I do not want to kill anybody.
The medical stuff goes around for a while in this ATP General Thread. So I thought it’s ok to join. Since Mile and I brought in different opinions/aspects, some went crazy.
As long as everyone is treated equally, everything is fine.

It makes absolute sense to put this stuff out of the tennis section.

Thx for the calming post!

Thanks Baron.........as I work in a COVID 19 hospital at present,where Doctors and Nurses are getting Spat On,on a daily basis,I do not need the condesending attitude of these 2 posters period, Mile and Bonaca..To be told 'they are in for the money' is a ignorant statement period.
This is a General ATP Blog and it should be kept to News period.Thank you.

Not much tennis news to report, unfortunately, but I'm finding Andy Roddick's appearances on various channels to be very engaging and entertaining. Maybe he'll get a bigger role in the media once we come out of the other side.

Maybe he would like to be a coach?

Go to the thread in question, in the top right above the posts, you will see an option that says "Unwatch". You won't get notifications if you unwatch a thread.

Fiero???????? are you kidding me? :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Everyones knows I have the lowest opinion of Andy Roddick, no need to stir up his supporters and his three fans..

Fiero knows the game of tennis. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already taught the game at a maybe the college level.

However.if you find Andy entertaining.. that good..He seems to have a lot to say.

I don't find Andy entertaining either, he always talk too much and I never liked his game, he had only a good serve.....but I don't think Fiero knows too much about the game but you can tell for whom has more sympathy and not so much and it was one of the reason I blocked him because he never says something reasonable, nice and interesting

I was not a fan of his game, but he has a wicked and clever sense of humor. He'll make a great commentator.

I have followed this young man as a junior and I cannot believe his injuries that have kept him out of the game of tennis.
It has been reveled today from Australian tennis journalist Leon Schink that talented Aussie Kokkinakis is recovering after a particularly severe bout of glandular fever that twice put him in hospital in January,left him stopped breathing in his sleep.

Wow. That one slipped under the radar. Kokkinakis seems to be plagued with misfortune. Talented guy, I hope he gets a reasonable injury/virus-free run to re-establish himself.

I know now the real reason why he did not play at the AO 2020 this year.Agree,the kid cant seem to take a break where injuries or sickness are concerned.

Andy and Novak were live yesterday on Instagram for an hour. In case someone wants to watch it you can find it in Andy's story.

I thought some of it was soo funny especially that part about Stan Wawrinka' shorts he wore lol! they were both on the money,they were disgraceful.
