Sometimes, rather than trying to have the last word, you might quit before you get too much farther behind. Or actually consider the conversation. If you have bigger things to worry about than racism, I'd be curious to know what they are. Also, I am not taking your comments "out of context," which is your standard rebuttal when your argument gets weak. The context is clear. I'm sorry to hold your feet to the fire on this one, Margaret, but it's an important issue. There is racism in tennis. Things are getting better, but there's no argument for forgetting things that have happened, even in the 21st C.

Enough Mozie get off off your 'high horse for starters' is not about your and your thoughts to start with
A You Have Never Had Racist comments against you for starters.as I have!

Watching Thiem match vs Varillas.. Dominic is playing ok but his confidence really has dropped off. I hope that he finds that fire that he had as a top 3 player while he enjoying his retirement.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Thiem lost 7-6 in the third.. Too bad

Dom was looking for for a first main draw win in 3.5 months, sad.
Quite frankly Dom has made the right decision to retire.

Sad to say that has been a case of many matches he has played this year

I'm not truly concerned about if Rafa wins gold but how well he can get his game back to his highest levels while remaining completely healthy if that is possible at this stage. I agree his serve is looking better but he will need to add 8-10 mph on his first serve if he cant hit his spots. BTW what is his PR?

Rudal won their doubles match in the 2nd round today. Ruud lost in singles...

 

[the AntiPusher]

MM, I have to agree with you about Stefanos game. I think he needs to get a better coach like someone that has worked with Roger or Stan.. We knew the Poo wasnt going to help his game. I would suggest Becker.

So hilarious. the interview on court ask Rafa what he thought about the name Rudal.. he was like what? Later Rudd told he the pronunciation and Rafa said , Well before it was Fedal, so I guess its good? jajaja

PR is protected ranking for players who were out due to injury.

PR would also have been Dominika Cibulkova aka pocket rocket cos she was so small, not cos she gave the guys one
