Saw the butcher win last night in Dallas, started the week around 180 mark, a win tonight against Cillic and he'll be into top 120

RIP John Virgo, his last commentary was only 17 days ago.

oops someone dropped a clanger letting this wildcard entry in.

Never been was planning for my 40th and then my 50th but health and then covid got in the way.
Got 1 more operation in planning and if they don't try and kill me this time (last 3 all went badly wrong) thinking of going in 26 or 27 at latest.
Got some cash saved up but not sure how much I need to have a fun time.
I am assuming as its USA everywhere is good for wheelchairs and the people in them.
a few questions
1) Outside of the WSOP when is the best time to go. I might try and go during WSOP and enter 1 or 2 smaller events but don't think my body would hold up to the ME.
2) Is it best to book for hotel and flights together or separately
3) Strip or off-strip
 

Kartal looked good today British number 2 next week

personally i try not to travel with a dildo in my pocket, ergonomic or not.

Where do you hide it then?

last one i had i hid in my hair do

personally i try not to travel with a dildo in my pocket, ergonomic or not.

Red button on sky for the doubles untill the later stages which makes recording it for mum impossible but they did show the 3rd set ok the Boulter/Kartal  on skymix
Mum loves the wheelchairs so hoping they arent on over night.

All the singles gone in the US Open.

Think both were pretty much expected.  I think Rybakina is effectively the 3rd best player in the World after Sabalenka and Swiatek, so drawing her then Sabalenka is as bad a draw as Raducanu could getm. I don't think she played very well, but Rybakina was on fire and it is hard for anyone to stop here.

Norrie wasn't really expected to beat Djokovic, but both him and Raducanu should be back in the top 32 by Australia, as both have very few points to defend (something like 180/110 respectively by the end of the year).  I don't think either is really struggling with injury either. 

Not convinced Draper gets back quickly.  He was struggling in the mixed doubles too and only really played because it was the US Open.  Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see him for another month.

putting my mystic meg hat on
think Draper will come back too soon to try and get into RTD top 8 currently 7th but might drop out after the US open
think he makes it then pulls out as he came back too soon

Draper pulls out injured. going to make getting the Dubai end of the season hard espically if he cant get back on court soon

Emma first Brit up on Sunday Vrs a Qualifier.

watson out
Jones looked Impresive when little i saw
Dart can't serve but having knocked out the top seed in her draw has a good chance of making it through

Kyle retires today. Such a shame with the injuries when he was at his peak.

just noticed Jones ranked 86th left it too late and needs to go through qualies

We should do a 2026 Wimbledon wild card prediction comp now? 

you trying to pry money out of my Scottish wallet? I price you at 1.3 in a H2H comp

not sure anyone barr us too would enter! but i am in!!!!!!!!!!!!! for fun or a small wager


we could see if anyone would be interested in a US Open pick 6 players comp

you can pick 1 player from top 5 in seeds
you can pick 2 additional players from the seeds (but no more than the one from top 5)
you can pick 3 additional players from the draw (but no more than 3 seeds in total)

total of 6 players both mens and womens so 12 players

scoring

8 for winner
6 for runner up
5 for semi
4 for quarters
3 for last 16
2 for last 32
1 for 2nd round
