I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.26-04-2024 06:09

I don't think his age has really anything to do with his lack-lustre performance this Australian Open. Actually, he was suffering the effects of a bug whilst competing and I think what he did was try and beat the bug at the same time as try to win the slam but somehow that bug got the better of him and consequently, Novak's performance diminished. Simple as that. Battle sickness simultaneously as your on-court opponants and u come up against a double-whammy.02-02-2024 11:50

What a load of from Garcia! 'Too old' is her misinterpretation of the reality which knocked the Joker out of the AO 2024 and that was a bug....some kind of infection which was more of the digestive kind than the cold&flu kind.....Basically this ageist position taken by Garcia is an absolute farse....Get real, age is the placebo for virus. U just gotta look at Bopana & Ebden taking the men's doubles final to realize that rationales about age being obstructive are nothing more than man-made mental constructs.01-02-2024 03:56

Gotta still love Nole for all he has been doing on the circuit. And yep, Boris is right....spot-on. It's like Jannik Sinner (pronounced "Zinner") was mirroring the way Novak plays when he is at the top of his form pretty much the whole way throughout that match. As I watched it, it was as though Sinner was taking the Joker's own game style right up close & personal to him. In a way, it doesn't surprise me because I learnt from the match commentary that Jannik was coached in junior years by one of the exact same coaches who also coached Nole for a solid number of years but the name of this coach escapes me although I recall he hails from Spain.27-01-2024 08:25

Why would u even bother to pay for main arena tickets without knowing who u will even be watching!??? Frankly, I would only buy those main court tickets if I knew for sure that someone I really want to watch was gonna be playing there, otherwise it's a waste of money. As for the match b/n Zverev and Michelsen, I hope Michelsen blows Zverev out of the tournament! I was shocked to hear the news that Zverev was up on such abuse charges. I had previously alot of admiration for him as a player and so find this news very distressing since his personality does not appear to be the type that is overly macho, controlling, or agressive in a negative sense. Hence my utter perplexation at hearing about him being charged in a court of law for domestic abuse.20-01-2024 13:42

I saw this match & it was a stunner. Awesome stuff from both players. Really loved the win from Mirra as she was pretty far down earlier in the closing set. ππππππ19-01-2024 09:03

I feel sorry for Jelena Ostapenko. How dare her opponent accuse her of faking an injury! I think Ajla Tomljanovic is showing a bad example of a severe lack in good sportsmanship by lashing out like that!! I mean, it is just not on to presume the worst in character about someone just because they requested a medical time out during the match. Every player is entitled to receive such time out under circumstances where injury is either present or suspect. How ridiculous the accusation was because really, just as Jelena remarked, Ajla could have asked the physio to confirm the truth about the matter and the physio would have done so. Absurd and wrong of Tomljanovic. I think Ajla has alot to learn in these relational areas.17-01-2024 16:03

There's nothing wrong with those comments made by Nadal - they're just a summation of how he has perceived the situational differences on account of the injuries both him and Federer have had to contend with over the course of their respective careers. And all the better too for Djokovic, is what I think Nadal was essentially saying, in the sense that he, Nole, did not have to go through the same type of rigour and complicated recovery strategies that players who struggle with injuries have to contend with. In that respect, I can sympathize with Rafa (and Federer too), because having to content with injury is far more challenging and complex than not having to - that's just plain and simple. Inasmuch too as I really love Novak, I think he ought to take those comnents from Nadal as a compliment which just goes to point out how much more free Nole is to be able to flow through the developmental process without so much complication as either Nadal, Federer, or even as we saw the other day, with poor Any Murry and that ghastly metal hip he had put in not so long ago! And I would hope that Djokovic continues to stay out of the major injury slipstream just through how he so meticulously does his routines. Not so long ago, someone made the comment, I think it was either Sam Smith or Samantha Stoser, that Nole is unique in his training regimen in that he's the only player who incorporates stretching for flexibility routines in a very astute and consistent manner. Perhaps there lies part of the answer!08-01-2024 01:34
