Just some updated news regarding Zverev.......as I did see a picture of him yesterday wearing a 'moon boot'.

Zverev did undergo surgery to repair his ligaments.All 3 of his lateral ligaments in his right ankle were torn.Surgery was the best choice.Time for rehab.Goal should be to return before the US Open but won't be easy.

They've tried their best since the 70's, but only the ladies had a winning event with the Vrginia Slims starting in '71! I saw Court defeat Navratilova in '75! The men weren't as successful and events came and went! In '75 I watched Roscoe Tanner defeat John Alexander on a court built on the surface of Soldier's Field! The biggest event for men was an exhibition of McEnroe and Connors that went 5 sets and took forever with both players walking off the court in a huff due to the officiating back in 1981! GAWD I'm old AF!

[rafanoy1992]

Tsitsipas vs. Murray tomorrow, the re-match of the toilet saga at the 2021 US Open. Should be a good one.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

What they should do is demote Shanghai and create a Masters 1000 grass event.

Hey MM, is that Citi event in Chicago? I thought it was held in Washington D.C. I only bring it up because I attended one year when visiting the nation's capital.
