LOL! Actually I have met Simon personally in a tournament in Aussie and his mother, I can verify his legs are very thin btw :) hence he got the nick name 'chicken legs'

All of them are spindly messes from Tsitsipas to Zverev! In my day they had some meat on their bones with beer bellies! That won't get you into the top 300 these days! :face-with-hand-over-mouth: :shushing-face::astonished-face::partying-face:

I suppose some of it can cone down to genetics, though I firmly believe in 'strength training' that includes players that are thinly built., it can guard you against injuries

No one's doing it better than Novak who was actually doing limbering splits with the Olympic teams in Japan last year! He impressed them all! :face-with-hand-over-mouth:

Novak to me is too thin, ever since he went on that 'gluten free diet' he could eat a few Macca's :)

Oh, honey he's lost that youth over these last couple matches! He's aged exponentially allowing this to happen to him after being in Rome final! :facepalm:
The Young Greek's dad will be popping blood pressure tablet's in his son's next match :) one good thing in GS you do have a day off to recover.

Loved this from Daniil Medvedev,

Mats Medicated Wilander tells Medvedev that he's one of his favorite players
Medvedev replied that he's disappointed in him for not doing the interview in French:)

GOATdal has really not been playing his best at all but it’s amazing that he’s still winning with solid scorelines!

3rd round: Def. (26) B. van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 :check-mark:
2nd round: Def. C. Moutet 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 :check-mark:
1st round: Def. J. Thompson 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 :check-mark:

The next match against FAA will be very telling… I really hope Rafa raises his level.

:ptennis:
