- I am so sick of the people who write these articles. Besides the many, many errors, the click bait titles are alarming. No where in this article did Jack say "I farted..." as the headline states. He implied it, so it was NOT a direct quote. Poor journalism!!!Rapunzel28-05-2025

- Doesn't matter, Jarry goes home before McEnroe wakes up
TeamHalep2424-05-2025 - He has struggled lately to make it past the 2nd or 3rd round in 500 or 1 000 tournaments and he desperately wanted to win 100 ATP titles. So, he chose to play in a 250 tournament to reach his goal. He managed to win it and well done to him. Now it's time to go and participate against the top guys in 500 and 1 000 tournaments again.GustafC24-05-2025
