The Draw for London:

John McEnroe Group

Andy Murray (Britain) (1)

Stan Wawrinka (Switzerland) (3)

Kei Nishikori (Japan) (5)

Marin Cilic (Croatia) (7)


Ivan Lendl Group

Novak Djokovic (Serbia) (2)

Milos Raonic (Canada) (4)

Gael Monfils (France) (6)

Dominic Thiem (Austria) (9)


i didn't know they give them player names - the groups now?

they could have done better - like something to keep peole arguing and quarreling to add controversy and distraction and complications...

like:

"TRUMP GROUP" -= CLINTON GROUP

''LOSERS GROUP" -- ''EVEN MORE LOSERS GROUP|

just to annoy people.

also they should make mistakes...like assigning players different opponents than announced...and mess up the scheduling...and stuff like not enough ball boys - or umpires making wrong calls all the time...it's more entertaining...also letting fans call out the points...heckling should be allowed...whenever players are bhehind let them consult anybody in the court ..things like that and when a match is over -- they should make the players start all over again -- just to be sure it wasn't a fluke...and the winner of the rematch should play the winner of the rematch of the semi-finalists -- and in the round - final rfinal final round -- every time a player makes mistakes -- that is one point taken OFF their ranking--and if they complain -- they will be fined 1000 dollars per point complained....sometning like that....

At last some compensation for easy draws he had in last 6 months when he only played couple of matches with raonic and Nihikori of all the top 10 players. btw, wasn't raonic deadly injured when he was supposed to play Murray last week? How come he recovered in just couple of days?

You can open whatever you like. I remember I opened the tread you are mentioning, I don't even remember what was that about. But feel free to open any threads you want about anything and anybody you want to discuss with whomever you want to discuss. Honestly.

Berdych posted on his Facebook page a couple of days ago that he is done for this season. I guess Tsonga has more important things to do now with baby on the way. That baby is going to be really cute, judging by both parents. :yahoo:

I usually get a lot of tennis related stuff on my FB page and Berdych usually shows up, but I saw nothing. I guess he's tired after a long season.

Yes! Tsonga and his girlfriend sure will have a pretty baby. I'm sure they're excited.

Přátelé, letošní sezóna je u konce. Chtěl bych všem poděkovat za podporu a pozitivní energii a mám pro vás informace o mém zdravotním stavu.
Po konzultaci s lékaři v motolské nemocnici, se kterými jsem řešil stav po zánětu slepého střeva mi byl doporučen dvoutýdenní absolutní klid, který je třeba k tomu, aby se rozhodlo o dalším způsobu léčby. Jednou z variant je i operace...

Dear friends, season 2016 is over and I would like to thank to all of you for positive energy and great support!!!
After discussion with doctors in Prague Hospital I was recommended to have a break for two weeks and then we will see what they gonna do with my appendix...see you next year!

Thanks Billie. You're a good egg! This is news to me. I was halfway looking for an announcement on FB, but maybe I missed it. Hope he comes back stronger.

I guess this could go here: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/s...ovak-djokovic-old-friends-new-roles.html?_r=0

Just a nice piece about the backstory on Murray/Djokovic and leading up to the showdown for YE #1.

Nice read... also this pic brought a smile to my face.
