Yep I hear what you’re saying, but messi hasn’t had to work AS hard as Ronaldo would have to keep up with him, if you get me. As you say, all subjective [emoji106]Quote:

That can't be measured, but I wouldn't be surprised if Messi worked just as hard over the years on technique, fitness etc.Quote:

Jocky Wilson must have a shout.

That last game was ridiculous, how he got the last 2 serves from Medvedev even back in the court was unbelievable

Medvedev just too good sadly.

Pity, but a terrific tournament for Andy nonetheless.Quote:

Andy Murray wins his first title since 2019. Up to 42 in the world rankings. He'll never hit the heights of his golden years but he'll feel he's proved the hip op was worthwhile I reckon.
Superb win for the big man. Hopefully has a great French openQuote:

No tennis updates since SDG gave up posting but watching Alcaraz dismantle Tsitsipas is worth a mention.
Tsitsipas is no mug but he can't get anywhere close in this game. Alcaraz will win this in straight sets - unless his form falls off an almighty cliff - and it will be Djokovic next in the semi final.
Murray one set up and 3-1 in the second in the final at Surbiton Rain has stopped play at the moment
Comfortable 6-3 , 6-2 victory for Murray
Well done Andy. Class act.Quote:

He has had a great start to the grasscourt season. It should give him a bit of an advantage at Queens. Looking forward to seeing how far he can go
Gubbed by De Minaur at Queen's. Really disappointing.
Love him or loathe him Nick Kyrgios is a big miss at Wimbledon this year.
There aren't many characters left.
Agree. Extremely talented and very watchable.Quote:
