As much as you don't.
I've never shied away from it. And you know that's true. But you, it fascinates. Even news that is more than 20 years old and has nothing to do with his kid. You just can't resist it. To what point? Trying to paint his kid with the same brush? Or otherwise, what?

Thanks for the diagnosis.

Well you know all minds gravitate elsewhere when the subject comes up! It's a wonder some are "so touchy" about it after all these years of suspicion! :lol6:
Are you thinking of Novak 2.0?

Wow, Rublev serving for the set at 5-4 and totally blew it. Worst patch of play of the day, for him, so far. Back on serve.

Yeah Rublev pissed off the way he lost the set.

I can’t get over how many times in this tournament the men have been serving for the set and have had their serve broken. Has to be a record for a Major.
Schwartzman pushed the average up single-handedly, yesterday. Rublev was really bossing this match until he donated that service game. Now it's pretty much all Tsitsipas.

Skinner also yesterday at 6-5 in the first set.

Stefano ruled Rublev. 7-5, 6-2, 6-3.

Impressive win, he played what I call loosey goosey tennis, relaxed and free flowing.

Shocking, but I guess that run of Rublev's had to come to a close! Winning that many matches takes a toll on the "also-rans" of the tour! Reminds me of Brad Gilbert in the day; got up to #4 in the World IIRC, but was inconsistent as any player! He could go into Cincy and wear out the top players, then inexplicably lose to some nobody early at the USO! I still remember him upsetting Becker a few times, but wouldn't follow it up with much except at '89 ATP Chp.! He got the most out of his ability with no real weapon to speak of! I think Reblev's doing the same! It remains to be seen if he'll take that next step! :face-with-head-bandage:

Well Busta managed to serve out for a set! Novak not looking good at all.

TC commentators just reminded us that he didn't look good in the AO final this year, but held the trophy in the end. Something with the left arm? And tape on neck? Pinched nerve?

What is happening to Djokovic? Let's see if PCB can just focus on his own game...
