    “It is a significant rebuke of the sport’s oldest Grand Slam tournament and, in a technical sense, renders the event an exhibition without any ranking points at stake.”

    Good. Proper decision.

      Wimbledon Semi Finalist Cameron Norrie is another Kiwi Pom who apparently supports the ABs.

        Norrie was a young pro flying the Kiwi flag and asked NZT for some funding to help him. In their wisdom they said no. And that's how we let a guy who would have been the highest ranked NZ tennis player maybe since Anthony Wilding (?) slip through our fingers

            @canefan Cam could be a Jaapie, an Englishman or a Yank.

            He supports the ABs. That tells us what we need to know! 🙂

                that sounds painful and dangerous.

                Edit and from what I read he was born in South Africa and his father was born in Glasgow (outer Wales?) and both parents still live in NZ (great taste).

                  Obviously not at a Kyrgios match, she would have been ejected

                        Probably should have his own thread. Such a beautiful player to watch in his prime, and part of the most dominant triumvirate the sport has ever seen

                          Best player of all-time at his prime. Feel fortunate to have been able to follow his whole career. Great bloke and a wonderful ambassador for his sport too.

                            Can someone tell me how Andy Murray beating some random Italian I've never heard of is a "major upset"?

                              Where have you been? Berretini is #13 in the world and is a GS finalist IIRC. Having said that, Murray is a nightmare draw for a seeded player. Far better than his ranking

                                  Gauff-Raducanu was a good match to watch. They should have a good rivalry in the coming years.

                                    An enjoyable match. Raducanu had chances to force a third set but made some poor shot choices, especially when Gauff slowed the rallies down. Played well but there are learnings there

                                      You'd hope so, but Raducanu is looking more and more like a one hit wonder. She's never followed up at all on her US open triumph with a string of poor defeats against people she shouldn't lose to. Really hope I'm wrong.

                                      My wife is always a bit suspicious of my motives when I watch her play. And she's 100% right to be.

                                          Far out. I was up at 5 am and thought I was watching a replay of his first match but realised scores were slightly different. Couldn’t believe it was live. Good sporting start to the day.
