I could have sworn Rafa won a US Open at 33 and a French Open at 34.

Oh well, I guess Rafa will win the singles gold at the Olympics next year to regain his standing as the oldest champion ever.

Men's tennis should be a lot more exciting next year with Nadal, Cilic, and Kygrios playing. This year is just a preview of what men's tennis will look like in 2025 and beyond.

Nick Krygios has withdrawn from the US Open. Quite frankly I am not surprised he is back in Australia, recovering from injuries. I wonder if he will compete now in the Laver Cup? ( probably not) Nick has only played 1 match all year
IN: Schwartzman

Well I'm glad to see he knows the rules. At least we know he can pay attention when he chooses.

My LORD watching tennis these past few months is like eating cake without icing..Yes it can be good but it could be better if the Spanish Bull was able to compete. Maybe I can join a Fedfan forum to began the sad transition of life without Rafa

WTF brother, we just finished a Wimbo final for the ages and Chaz Alcaraz is still active in Canada? Heading to a match v Medvedev if my memory serves…

And (hopefully) Alcaraz/Sinner in the SF. It could be a thrilling final few matches.

It’s what we all dreamed of. Tennis is actually unpredictable again..

True, brother Kieran--I really don't know what to expect in Cincinnati or New York City this summer. Carlitos is obviously one of the ones to watch along with the Serbian Slayer. But, the Russian string bean is always dangerous on the summer hards of North America and you never know what the Italian Sinner might do.

That’s it my friend, and we don’t even know what to expect in Canada, the post-USO tourneys, everything from now until the end of the season is up for grabs. The world number 1 ranking included.

Big T’oe might even grab a headline. That’s how unpredictable things are right now! That’s very unpredictable!
