No Roger, No Rafa, No Novak, no Williams sisters ... Is this tennis Pandemic?

Serena or Venus as not withdrawn from the USO they are not playing Cinncy.......still no official word on 'the foot from Rafa
Novak is still playing the USO

And Roger having another surgery? I was trying to work my way through the Cincy draw, and I really think Meddie with withdraw. I wonder if Tsitsipas will, and just chill. Babycakes Berrettini is back. Land of opportunity for young players.

Borna Coric has also withdrawn from the USO,next in McKenzie McDonald

I forgot Coric was even playing! Haven't seen him in ages!

Good that Double Mac got in directly; after his good performance at DC, he probably would have got a WC anyway, even if he was unable to make it.

He also withdrew from Cinncy,he also recovering from shoulder surgery,maybe he came back to the tour too early

Stefanos Tsistipas (from his Cinncy press conference) says he is not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 and would only do so if vaccination becomes mandatory to compete on tour.Says his goal for the year is to stay in the Top 3,so he's aiming for the big points,at tournaments,by reaching later rounds.

Constantly demonstrating poor choices.

I would say Roger's chances going forward are pretty dim, TBH. The fact that he reinjured his knees playing W indicates the grind is too much. He's caught in a catch -22, after a long rehabilitation he will need more than a handful of tournament play to get match tough, however with multiple matches his body seems to break down.

Fixed it.

I saw this movie with Rosewall, Connors, and McEnroe! I'm sure Roger will brighten the day of his fans, but winning is something of the past!

PCB is clearly overplaying. After Wimby, he played Hamburg, Olympics and Cincy (where he is still alive) and now he wants a WC into WSO in the week before USO.

I think he is setting up the stage for a third round exit at USO.

See? Now you think some people are over-playing. LOL. Kidding, I saw that, too, and thought it was a huge mistake. I hope he withdraws. He's having a good year, and has done well at the USO. He definitely shouldn't play next week.

Ralph is Out. No US Open. It's a DAMN shame. Speedy recovery towards Rafa and his team.

Nadal ends season because of injury

Spain's 20-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has ended his 2021 season because of a foot injury.
