IO HAVE A QUESTION :

which players for the rest of the year -- ''POST WADA" --

will do very well ? i mean the ones who are ''sick" and have ''legal" ''therapeutic , medical exemptions" in SECRET from WADA because they sent in their 'application"

ON TIME?


which of OUR favorite players will do very well -- even if they are ''SICK?"

so 'sick' in fact that they must have nandrolone, meldonium -- etc...approved by WADA if they ''report" their sickness on time...and it's the only way they can ''clear" their bodies of their ''sickness?"

come on folks - -- moxie? federberg? tennisfan? anyone >which favorite players of yours will do well inspite of being ''sick?"



roflmao!!

Good for Nick, making a final in Tokyo. It should be an interesting one with Goffin.

H2H: First Meeting

 

[Billie]

How wonderful that it is their first meeting as well. I might stay awake for this one, about 40 minutes before they walk out on court.

It's going to be interesting. Much will depend on Nick's temperament. Goffin will be ready should Nick be in Lala-Land.

 

[Moxie]

Fascinating contrast in styles. Goffin's game is leading the day, at the moment. And Nick's not playing badly. He just dug himself out of a huge service hold that could have cost him the set. Goffin to serve for it, though, up a break.
