Why no one is covering the John Isner's Classic..Today match up is Godzilla vs talented young Japanese American Brandon Nakaashima.. Brandon BH has been compared 2nd only to the current world's number one.

Watching "Servebot" John''s so frustrating for some reason! It's like he's in a time warp, stuck in the past surviving the tour w/ that 1 weapon! :facepalm:

It is to be noted that Casper Ruud won three titles in a row, in three straight weeks. The last time this feat was accomplished was by Andy Murray in 2011. Norwegian Ruud won Bastaad, Gastaad and Kitzhibul, all of them ATP 250 clay tourneys. This guy has not had a chance to face Ralph yet anywhere.

Jack Sock won I guess due to an injury that his opponent suffered although he won the first set. NEXT the reigning king of the pre pandemic American Hardcourts..El Toro

Not so much tennis..but when the test results come back from a lot of Swimming and track and field Gold medal winners (especially from those eastern bloc countries, it's might be at an all time high ). E.g. an Italian runner whom NEVER run faster than 11 seconds runs a 10.8. It's ain't possible unless he is on steroids, ask Dr Front @Front242

some sprinters wearing those nike shoes with some sort of carbon fibre insole built in.

does it sound a bit like artificially assisted running ? a few years back swimmers were banned wearing those sharkskin body suits because of artificial bouyancy, similar ?.

Which's why I don't watch much of Olympics! In the old days athletes were athletes; now we're concerned what advantage they have over the other?

As a puritan, I would insist that everybody run barefooted.
