2023 ATP General News

[the AntiPusher]

Djokovic says this is the slowest court he ever played?
Tournament's license is owned by his family, but they probably didn't expect 3 consecutive rainy days

God Help us Rafa fans.. Send RAFA back ASAP but 100 percent healthy

Do you remember those horrid slow courts in Hamburg lol! thank goodness that tournament has gone lol!

Apparently the lil kid thought he could swim with the Serbian shark..who decided to take him out the deep part of the Serbia Sea and the lil kid drowned on his way back to shore.. that's what the GOATs do to the youngins jajaja

Still, speaking of players with good heads to go with their good game, and considering how young he is, he held his nerve pretty well. You could see he was getting a bit rougher around the edges towards the end, but he did take a set.

[don_fabio]

Djokovic playing young Van Assche right now on TC. Is @don_fabio there today?

Not there yet, I will stay from Friday-Sunday, that's why I was anxiously reporting about the weather in Banja Luka. Weekend should be sunny and warm, like supposed to.

In Croatia no one bought the TV rights for this tournament. So on TV now I have Barcelona, Munich and Stuttgart (women), but not this. I had to stream the match and it was fun to watch. Court does seem slow and Van Assche put a good fight there.

I had to look up Martin Landaluce, too. 17-year-old Spaniard. I think I heard his name once before, because it's unusual.

Landaluce sounded more Swiss to me lol!

Van Assche took a set off Novak - the 1st in a tiebreaker. He's one of two 18-year old Frenchmen (boys) that I've got my eye on. Unlike Arthur Fils, Van Assche has actually entered the top 100.

[don_fabio]

Sinner Man is looking tired against Nishioka. Watched Rune for a while too, he seems fresh.

There is some amusement in watching Zverev lose.

In Germany, no less, where presumably a few people still like him.
