Anyone tempted by the 20/1 available for the young Greek sensation Tsitsipas at Wimbledon?

He looks to me as though grass might well be his best surface.

Since federer won his first Slam singles title at Wimbledon in 2003, he's won 20 of past 64 Slam titles; add Nadal (18 Slams) & Djokovic (15) = 3 men have won 53/64 (83%) of all Slams between them for 16 yrs.

Murray was born in the wrong era!

All three of them have 5 end of year number 1 rankings on their cv's now.   Quite an incredible extended era of tennis.   Can't believe all three of them are still operating at this level approaching 2020.   We will never see the like again in the same era.

"I don't see who's next," Watson said.

"I feel like we've got a good little group of players right now, but little. I don't see who's going to be top 50.


This feels a bit harsh; before her injury, Katie Boulter had gone ahead of Watson in the rankings, was playing really well and had a very good chance of getting to the top 50.  It feels like this is just trolling her. 

As mentioned, Jack Draper has a very good chance of top 50, and I would be surprised if Radacanu doesn't make it.  Jodie Burrage has struggled with injuries too, but could make top 100.  I would love to see Francesca Jones make it too given what she has overcome.  One good year could see one of a handful of others make it to the top 100 who are in the 200s or so. 

The French Open has clearly been a bit of a shambles for Brits, but not sure I'd write off the future yet.  It isn't like there was a golden period in the recent past when we have had better than we have now.  Having the Murray brothers and Konta is the exception rather than the norm.   I grew up watching a bunch of bang average wild cards getting dumped out of Wimbledon by the second day. 

So are we really in bad shape?

Why is Nadal 8/11 in the French Open final?

H2H vs Djokovic on Clay is 17-7. Djokovic was having his best years for all but 2 of those wins (2011/2015/2016).

Nadal has won the last 3 Clay meetings. Skipped the US open for freshness.

Djokovic played 5 sets in his semi. Nadal hasn't dropped a set all tournament.

Surely the bookies have such a major sporting event priced up right but 8/11 seems a decent price to me.

Would the cold be a factor? Obviously, you'd think it would slow things down.

Ha, bumped this thread and found this. 

I thought Raducanu was going to be good, I didn't realise how good.  She is going to be UK number 1 in no time at all, and top 10 seems more likely than not.  It is just the range of shots she has, and she seems to be still improving rapisly.  Konta was pretty good in her prime, but never had Raducanu's range or speed of thought, and she made number 4 in the World.  As an aside, Konta seems to have been watching too many of Ivor Cumming's videos.  Even now she seems to be on the fence on the vaccine (seriously wtf?). 

You can watch all these US open games live on Amazon Prime (I finally have a use for it) and she is due on at 7pm.  She could easily win this one too.
