Paire is out of the AO qualifying, I guess the circus was leaving town. Too bad, okay onto the real stuff now. Hey did you see Tracy Austin's son has made it to the final round of qualifying, Brandon Holt? I bet if they would allow her she would get out there and play two on one to get her kid into the main draw. Okay, that is a stretch but you know she is willing him to victory - what Mom wouldn't, right???

Marin Cilic has withdrawn from the AO with a knee injury

The ITF has confirmed the cancellation of their Davis Cup contract with (Gerard Pique's) Kosmos. This year's format will continue, as planned, with the qualifers and then finals, but its future is unclear. The agreement was for 25 years.

I take it you don't fancy the high collared Frenchman. jajaja

That's so old school! I always had my collar up and bought several tops that were really tall collared! Court & BJK were big on that!

Well done Ritchie Gasquet winning the ASB Classic Auckland defeating Norrie 46 64 64!!
His first title since 2018, his 16th career title,at 36 years, he is the oldest champion at the ASB Classic Auckland
Gasquet will be up to #42 in the rankings with this title, his best since September 2019

Lucky Loser S. Kwon won the Adelaide International 2 defeating Bautista Agut 46 63 76 (4)

I watched this match, Kwon spanks the crap out of the ball is also a great mover around the court, has a good first serve, aggressive, well deserved win for Kwon

I really do like Paire. A lot of people make negative remarks about him, but I would love him to have a resurgence in his career. He can do without the Lacoste shirts, that is fine. At least now he is wearing colored clothing, at one point in 2022 he was wearing what looked like something from my middle school gym class.

After consulting with various specialists, Marin Cilic, who had to withdraw from the AO 2023, has decided to undergo knee surgery, it seemed like the best option for a long term fix to the injury. The procedure went as well as he could expected.Get well Marin!

Andy Murray received a wild card into ATP Rotterdam ( Mats Medicated Wilander will be over joyed with that news ), joining Murray with wild cards are Gael Monfils, glad to see him back on tour, and Tim van Rijthoven

Nick Krygios has undergone a procedure on his knee, yesterday, which forced him to withdraw from the AO
Nick's manager said, Nick hopes to be back on the tour for the IW tournament

The docuseries on Netflix is really awesome. I am quite sure someone has posted it previously. It really shows alot of the mental health aspects of the game. It really great how it portraits Rafa as this tennis God like Figure. When it focuses on Taylor's game and his girlfriend says before the final, he has to deal with facing F#n Nadal , I almost split my sides with laughter.. Really superb excellent series.

Nick should have gotten the old 1950-60s electric shock therapy too.. always good to get a two for one same time surgeries.

Behave lol! try to show some compassion...if Bernard Tomic can send Nick a get well text, those 2 have hated each other for years, you should be be able to send him a ' get well wish' as well
