2021 ATP General News

Federer lost today after having match point. I guess some things never change.

Indeed. Including you being a waste of space.

Don’t be a hater, I’m just bringing the facts.

Saw they were in a TB first set. Bautista Agut was going through a bad patch for a while and seems to be on an upward trend again. Bad news for Novak

I'm away from my Tennis Channel, so I'm only able to see scores this week and next. Maybe someone else is watching. I'd be curious to know how Roger looked, too.

Okay....I only watched the first set of Roger's match cause I was watching the woman.

I am interested to see how my boy Sinner fares against Medvedev in the q/finals in Marseille tomorrow.

I'm away from my Tennis Channel, so I'm only able to see scores this week and next. Maybe someone else is watching. I'd be curious to know how Roger looked, too.

Hard to tell from the highlights and from those he looked pretty sharp and Basilashvili was absolutely crushing the ball. From comments and those who watched it all they said he looked a bit sluggish from set 2 onwards so probably needs to work more on his fitness. His first match back yesterday was 2 hours 25 minutes and completely different opponent than Evans and no day of rest today. Not sure how much practice he's had if any against ball bashers but when Basilashvili is playing well he's pretty damn good. Got to number 16 and has been shocking for a while and seems today was the best he's played in months. Credit to him. Hit some crackers but they both did going by the very short highlights. Getting to match point and losing is obviously a bit of a downer for Roger but he doesn't seem too disappointed at all so neither should his fans. I just hoped to see him more this week. Dubai will be a faster court and will suit him more.

If a man made that comment he'd be called a sexist pig

Cant have an opinion like I prefer men’s match, or state a fact lIke men are better players, or you get quickly labeled by pc rats or feminists who got shit for brains. Always respect for Mac or Rafa for defending their opinions instead of sucking up to the worthless rats who should go to the meatgrinders.

I respect Kyrgios' honesty in interviews too. Makes for a refreshing change for this pc bs alright. Gulbis did some hilarious interviews before too.

That should be a good match! I like both players. Must check highlights.

Doesn't he have a house in Dubai? You'd think that wouldn't be much different than training.

I believe he does have a house in Dubai.Does training there for the AO.Tony Godsick did say after Dubai he would do a training block for the clay season.
