Dan their is zero artistry or elegance to the Anderson game and those are your preferred criteria when selecting your favorites. This is quite odd for you to suddenly take a liking to Anderson's play style after all these years of leaving him off your radar.

Andrew: I saw Korda play a lot and this guy was a helluva player. I saw Korda beat Pete and many other great players. He was a great player and I highly doubt the ONLY top player who used PEDs in his era. He probably got caught and exposed because he was a lesser star. As Rios told us "If Agassi or Sampras ever tested positive for nandrolone you guys in the media will never hear about it because they're too important to the tour." Jonas Bjorkman also said: "I have heard of cases of the ITF covering up positive tests." Korda got caught - yes. Was he the only star player to get caught? Fat chance.

Did Kiki do it fairly today or were there Kikinanigans involved again? Goffin's injury was tragic. That tarp was the same color as the clay and it looked like camouflage. It should be colored differently to contrast against the color of the court surface.

Well, we know the ITF gave Andre a pass on the failed Meth test. I doubt he was the only one.

Good point Britbox. Although Agassi did have that one very late pullout in Australia the day before and Gilbert didn't even know about it. That one was fishy. Also the time Pete pulled out of US Open very late after practicing at the Natl Tennis Center, the year he did the big Charlie Rose interview which we never got to see after he withdrew Rose decided to not air the interview. Both of those withdrawals seemed curious.

Chazz; Schwartzman first appeared on the tennis scene about four years ago he played a night match on Ashe Stadium vs a top seed and he's progressed nicely ever since. Clearly he has something special. TO beat Dimitrov in the Istanbul final last year from a deep hole was heroic. He has a lot of valuable wins like that. He crushed Ferrer in Miami this year. He's played three quality matches vs Federer. Diego Schwartzman is an incredible player.
