Should be Wimbledon. The pressure he had on him before winning there was immense, then to win gold on centre court too, magnificent. To finish a year world number one and win the ATP tour in a period with the best ever was amazing.Quote:

His record at Queen's was unparalleled so it makes sense and I'm sure Wimbledon will also pay tribute. A statue has been mooted. As you say those moments were some of the greatest ever in British sport.Quote:

Phenomenal performance by Andy's Olympic doubles partner Dan Evans at the US Open. 4-0 down in the fifth set yet comes back to win in 5 hours and 35 minutes!
Alcaraz and Djokovic both crash out of the US Open in the early rounds. Maybe Andy should have stuck around ;-)
Seriously, Sinner must be confident he can add to his Slam tally.
Medvedev could still win itQuote:

Draper was excellent not sure i see him going further however definitely has a chance. His serve and general play has been brilliant
Think he's been a bit under the radar due to lengthy injuries, but he definitely looks like he's capable of big things.Quote:

I think Sinner will win the tournament but Draper has been brilliant so far and will only improve
Top ten player next season I would reckon
I'm out it of breath just watching Draper v Sinner
Shades of a young Andy Murray, who used to be sick quite often on court until he built himself up to the level needed to compete consistently in the latter stages of Slams. Draper actually played very well despite the fact he must have been feeling horrendous. His time will come.Quote:

Murray playing golf in the pro am prior to the BMW at Wentworth next week alongside Bob McIntyre. Be interesting to see his standard.
Bob is pretty good.Quote:

Quite odd watching him play a sport other than tennis...looks like he could be pretty useful at golf though.
Lovely makeshift Hibs tap on tae. :thumbsup:Quote:
