I didn't know till now he was out, a good day for upsets. I want to see a different winner this year and I had hoped it would be Zverev but I can't see anyone but one of the big three taking the trophy home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 One of the things that makes me go 'top fucking boy' about Andy Murray in the last couple of days is that he's consistently said Serena Williams is one of the best tennis players ever. Not one of the best women's players ever. I honestly think Federer, Djokovic and most of the other top male players would have said best women's players automatically. He doesn't. Because he's the top fucki g dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that's because a lot of players aren't in a position to commit for various reasons until the tournament is already underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched tennis as much as I would like to over the past couple of years but caught this interview and I too found it entertaining . Very refreshing, though no doubt some would find it ‘ not in the spirit of the tennis culture’ 🙄 Btw, Wimbledon was on in the background a short time ago, it was some sort of cringy ceremony fawning over various sports celebrities in the audience, showing clips of each of them and then them standing up and being cheered by the crowd. . Then they moved onto the bloody military. Does this happen every year or is there something special this year ? It might be me being overly cynical but I found it embarrassing.

That's the problem with Kyrgios. He has some good points to make but he acts like such a dick that they get lost in the noise. He's made it clear he thinks most of the top players are arrogant selfish arseholes, but interestingly never has a bad word to say about Andy Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
