@sparky Oh, have been out of the loop on this but I assumed he'd have had no chance of winning considering the trials and tribulations he had to suffer due to quarantine in Australia.

He may be a kooky anti-vaxxer, but the guy is a farken tennis wizard. He took everything Medvedev had to give then crushed his will

Are the worst value tickets in the world, those to the woman's final of any grand slam tournament? Has there ever been an epic match where one game was worth the admission price alone? Decided to tune in to the final this morning, and like pretty much so all others ... it was a one sided drubbing. The commentators were completely full of shit. Consistently talking about some of some of the epic points, which weren't, and building up Brady as not being out of it, when she was. I cannot remember a single final that I've watched that wasn't a one-sided waste of time.
The paying Aussie public should be thanking Coronavirus from saving them from yet another boring, one sided crap-fest.
The women should play best of 5 sets. Their finals are often shit because one has a nervous start and then the match is pretty much done by the time she gets a rhythm. Equal pay for equal work and all that as well. I really wonder if Serena Williams would have been as dominant having to play best of 5.
For God’s sake, just no.
You don’t have to watch dude.
I can tell you the conditioning (or lack thereof) of ladies would make five sets totally tedious.
Women’s tennis just isn’t as exciting a sport, as demonstrated unequivocally by viewing figures. It is what is.

Then I don’t understand how they can claim equal pay. But I do recall a rare female 5 setter years back between Steffi Graf and Anker Hüber. It was a great game. I think the woman are more than capable of playing 5 sets, but obviously they don’t have to and train accordingly.

Yeah i'm not a Djok fan but he has a serious claim to being the best player of all time. His returning ability is unbelievable.

He was just toying with Med after a while. He flicked the switch and broke him to take the first set, Med smashing his racquet was confirmation that he had thoroughly mind screwed him

Djoker says he played the final four matches with a stomach muscle tear. That's hardcore

Yes he is. But he reckons the medics will back up the diagnosis. Even a small tear must be a real hindrance. As a tennis player he is a marvel

He didn’t appear to be any discomfort whatsoever in the final. I call bullshit.

Give men and women players an equal percentage of the revenue generated by their matches. Sorted.

Shouldn’t that be the default position of any dad? Plenty of great fathers who are still prize wånkers.

So colour me surprised when this guy Norrie who's fast becoming a darling of Britain rolls up for an interview after winning his match and then starts going on about thus n thut.
Go unzed.
@bones I don't reckon we pronounce it unzud. Surely we pronounce the N like it starts with an E and the Z like it has an E in the middle.
Edit: Just realised you spelt unzed. But the point still stands in part. I reckon Aussies get it wrong when they give us shit for that.
