Not long to go. Hard to see past another Alcaraz title
Yeah hard to see past him. French Open final has really set this up nicely. Bublik is one to watch, quite an entertainer. Women's is wide open as usual although Sabalenka will be favourite.
Looking forward to the players getting back to wearing whites as this fad for wearing maroon is getting tiresome....:greengrin
I don't think he's nailed on as some folk think , Sinner will defo be in the mix for the titleQuote:

To think Murray won 3 majors 2 olympic golds ( back to back ) and a Davis cup in an era of Djokovic Nadal and Federer is staggering !!
And was number one in the world. Don't forget that.Quote:

Sinner's good on grass. In fact I initially thought it was a surface on which he'd be better than Alcaraz - until Alcaraz made Djokovic look human two years running!Quote:

Same here, sounds a bit flag wavy but it doesn’t have the same pull without Andy.Quote:

I am sure you could get a comedy gig at the festival with patter like that 😄Quote:

I tell a lie, he's serving for the match now at 5-1 up.
