    Interesting one. Hadn’t realised that. It is amazing given how dominant just 3 players have been in the other grand slams during that time.

    Simona Halep lost her case to be reinstated into tennis after being found guilty of doping and Serena Williams is throwing shade on twitter. :56:

    Hopefully they increase the volume of testing at the top end of the sport!

    Iga Swiatek kicked off her 2024 season with a routine win over Haddad Maia today.

    If she stays healthy, can't see any other outcome.
    And she seems to have improved her service during the off season which should put her in even more commanding position this season :)

    Andy Murray drawn against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round of the Australian Open. If Andy makes it to the third round it means he'll face Djokovic. Assuming Djokovic also gets through.

    Emma Raducanu drawn against Shelby Rodgers.

    Iga Swiatek drawn against Sofia Kenin is probably the best match of round one in the women's side. Tsitsipas vs Berrettini is the best match in round one from the men's side.

    Alcaraz in the same side of the draw with Medvedev. Djokovic on the other side of the draw with Sinner.

    Alcaraz vs Djokovic final please.

    Alcaraz is by far the best player to watch on tour.

    Big upset with Zverev eliminating Alcaraz today. Final four of Zverev v Medvedev, Djokovic v Sinner. All good players and at this point I'm anyone but Zverev.

    Djokovic eliminated by Sinner. Big upset. Will make the final more interesting, for me.

    Sinner has done massively well to tie this at two sets all. Nothing better than a 5 set slam final epic.

    The Federer documentary on Prime is an excellent watch.
