I don't agree w/ that. After 2 months off of competitive tennis, he needs at least a 250 to get his competitive juices flowing.

I thought he might have played the United Cup? there are a few 250 ATP matches before the AO, 1 in Adelaide, take your point of view, playing a couple of exho matches dosent really get his competitive juices flowing

Carlos will learn the hard way about coming into a slam cold especially if Djokovic is back in the field at the slam he has been most successful.

Carlos is coming off injury. And the flurry around him of finishing #1 on the year. He has a great team. I'm going with their ideas.

Does he though? They let him play in the fall when he probably shouldn’t have.

Somehow I couldn't get the visual up on this, but I could hear the ball being bounced before the serve for about one minute. Can you narrate?

It has to be watched. Pretty funny. You could try following the link to twitter.

That's absolutely classic

That's absolutely classic

I finally was able to see it on my phone. But there is a real life version of it when Soderling played Nadal at Wimbledon back in 2007. Soderling totally taking the piss with Rafa to serve in the fifth. The beginning of their spite and malice.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another blow for Italy and Davis Cup, Matteo Berrettini is out with a foot injury, I am yet to hear who will replace him, though I think they will add Sonego to the team

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Another blow for Alexander Zverev who has tested positive to COVID on the 19th of November, had to cancel an appearance on German TV today
