I think if there were any fact to it, Novak’s team would be screaming confirmation of it.

To my knowledge they havent applied for a visa, it is just a rumor at this stage, our COVID laws are eased her in Australia, that dosent mean a thing, Novak has to apply for a new visa for starters

Aussies don't have covid laws, they have covid scams....aimed at their lower than average IQ countrymen.

Alcarez's victory means the Rafa's claim as the last of the Super Teenager winning a Grand Slam is OVER.

Alexander Zverev felt a sharp pain yesterday in practice, could not walk anymore and pulled out of DC (Germany) after consulting with a doctor, he has a bone edema.Probably out for weeks.

Wow...that really was a bad injury. To say again, I have no love for the guy, but I do feel sorry for him in this.

He cant take a trick coming back from his foot surgery, that it is not uncommon for a bone edema, considering his recent surgery.

I don't know if he's officially closed down his year yet, but it seems like he ought to. Rest, recover, get ready for 2023.

This one I'm happy about. We need a top-achieving teenager to take us to the next era. Alcaraz really has super-star potential.

Frances Tiafoe ( withdrew from DC for USA) joins Team World, Laver Cup, replaces John Isner who has sustained a wrist injury at the USO.

I’m hoping Ruud focuses on taking one of the 500s or putting in a great showing or win at the Paris Masters or the ATP Finals to end his year on a good note and build for next year.

That'll help keep Rafa from acquiring yet another YE #1 to keep Novak 2 ahead of Fedal instead of 1! I appreciate Carlos breaking up the lock on Masters & Majors winning USO! The Top 10 is going to look so different than usual from the last decade or so!

Further reading regarding Zverev, this bone edema could be year ending for him.Remember he is defending champion at the end of year finals as well.

I mean I guess I understand why players play exhibitions like Laver Cup, but also I don’t. I certainly wouldn’t risk an injury playing when winning other tournaments are what really get you money and notoriety.

Oh, it has become a sanctioned tournament, but I think we all know that it's basically an exhibition.

Winning Laver Cup doesn’t get you anything especially if you are on Team World. I wouldn’t risk it if I were a player. I would tell Team Europe I guess you are playing Eastern Europe vs. Western Europe.

Good on FAA getting a solid win against Alacaraz. I hope this gives him some confidence into the fall.

I was watching, good for FAA he really needed that game going forward into the fall.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I’m surprised Shapovalov isn’t there, or maybe I missed him in the line up. He seems to thrive in team events and live for those match ups. I would figure Davis Cup would have been the shot in the arm he needed.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

That’s exciting Thiem made the final of his Challenger. Good steps!
