The Tennis Thread

Somewhat ironic that Wimbledon loses it's ranking points for controversially banning Russian players including the mens World number 1 for the women's title to be won by a Russian

Kazakhstani by extraction to be fair

 

[The Bear]

She's as much Kazakhstani as I am. Switched for business reasons.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ah bless telling people why they have a nationality they choose.

 

[Tony Towner]

They literally bought her, it's not a debatable point. She's Russian with an *

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Is she fuck. If she considers herself Kazakhstani then she is.

 

[Tony Towner]

No family from there, doesn't live there, from what I can see never has, but ok

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If she considers herself Kazakhstani I am interested to know why you feel you have the right to tell her she is wrong

 

[Tony Towner]

I very much doubt she even does, but this is going to go round in circles, so I'm done

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Probably wise as neither of us can prove it either way.

Roger Federer announces his retirement. There will be arguments about the three current greats as to who is/was the greatest but his style on court makes him my favourite.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, he was my favourite for sure. Sad news

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Fed by a country mile for me.

Have loved this week the photos and videos of the Big 4 together. Murray may not have the Slam record of the other 3, but was definitely a part of a big 4 who all drove each other to be better. I think the other 3 all recognise that too. 2008-2016 was a real golden era of tennis.

Weird knowing this will be Federers final match, by far the GOAT for me

Andy Murray rolls back the years to knock the 13th seed, Matteo Berrettini out of the Australian open in 5 sets.

 

[Mel Evo]

Brilliant - top man!

Great performance by Andy Murray today. A true legend and one of our greatest ever sportsmen. His mum isn't too bad on the eye either

 

[The Bear]

Playing until 4am is out of order though. Can't be healthy for athletes to do that.
