2021 ATP General News

[Fiero425]

It is a shame as Spain has already lost Bautista-Agut to an abdominal injury.The rest of the Spainish team has undergone PCR tests today.

It's hard to have any sympathy for anyone when there's a vaccine out there, but at the same time these people don't want it and refuse to protect with a mask too when out in public! In all the sports, athletes are getting knocked out of their respective games due to Covid! HOW? We're talking about fame and $$$, but these knuckleheads will just continue to play this game with their health! These same idiots might be taking other illegal substances off the street and have no problem with that, but can't trust an international vaccine mandate! SAD!

We had a big hope with Alcaraz but...of course never is going to be like in 2019 when Rafa played singles and doubles, then he went to Australia to play the ATP Cup and few day later the AO, crazy!!!!!!!!

We do not know if he has had a vaccine or not,I mean you can be double vaccinated and still get COVID,though not as severe.
Maybe we will get more information later.

The main thing is that he is not that ill and will have time to recover before Australia.
The timing of the Davis Cup in 2022 really needs to be looked at,a lot of the players refuse to play because it is soo late in the season,they need time off before they begin their pre-season training for the new tennis season.

 

[Fjaka2.0]

We’re all like the kid in the back of the car - are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

But I’m a believer in justice, and in the Last Hurrah - it would be all the sweeter for Rafa to triumph in Australia, by beating Novak in the final…

Please let this slam F happen again, Novak vs Nadal, please

Carol....from what I am reading Carlos has said he has mild symptoms.

He does which is a very good signal

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is a strong indication that the ITF will approve a move for the Davis Cup as Kosmos owns the rights suffered losses.Kosmos is expected to move it to Abu Dhabi which hardly has any tennis background.Many feel strongly it will be the continued ruination of Davis Cup.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW the deadline to enter the Australian Open is December 6th.

Yep, it could great because this time Nadal is going to be more fresh than 2019 when he won RG, USO and then he played the DC singles and doubles, then he went to Australia to play the ATP Cup playing in the the east of the country and later going to the west playing in different court while another players were playing from the beginning in the same court, by the way Novak was one of them. Then right after playing the AO when he incredibly reached the final but it was brutal how much he had played before and of course he paid the consequences.

 

[BratSrbin]

I will Give you some Hope. If Novak wins all 4 majors, I will disappear from this discussion forever but if he doesn’t you will leave the board for good. Is that a wager?

Fair offer, no doubt.
The chances of losing in a bet like this are 1:1000.

No Thursday morning 8.30am in Sydney,some states eg Queensland and Western Australia are not on daylight saving.

Is Friday Over yet

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Is Friday Over yet

Good news...it is Saturday lol!

 

[10isfan]

So Djokovic has 2 days to get his first shot?

 

[Kieran]

Isn’t it possible that Djoker can get the J&J one and done jab later, and still be in time?

You forgot the common excuse: Nadal must have been injured , otherwise he never would lose against the GOAT.
I know he lost that F and all of his matches against Novak only because of overplaying and injury.
And also don’t forget to tell us that’s all Novaks fault.

Why not?

 

[Kieran]

Why not?

Exactly. Unless Australia hasn’t passed the Jansen jab for use?

You really make me laugh, first at all there is not a "goat" and second when Novak lose his fans are the first ones to say "he was tired" "he has played too much" "he wasn't motived", or what about in the AO 2021 when Novak said that he had a abdominal tear and his service was working better than ever

And you talk about laughing? It’s crystal clear my poor dear, there are billions of smarter Novak-Haters out there than you, also in this forum.
BTW I agreed we you, it’s the living truth all of us know, every single Nadal loss against Novak , and there are more of them than wins, are only due to overplay and injury. He is really the unluckiest tennis player of all time.
