He should be tied to the net cord and Emma can practise her first serve at him for an hour or so.
Actually he'd probably enjoy it.
Come to think of it I probably would as well.

There are too many good players of a similar level in the women's game for that to happen IMO. Just look at who Fernandez beat on her way to the final.
Both women deserve huge credit. I just hope there isn't a meltdown when she loses in round 1 of her next tournent or two. Because she will at some point.
One thing that made it even more enjoyable was the flow of the game. No Nadal esque 'routines' or bouncing the ball 20!times like Djokovic or crawling at a snails pace to get the towel after every point.
They just got stuck in.
Hold my beer Piers , horrible man

Piers Morgan is now trying to take credit for her winning the tournament. His words after Wimbledon inspired her apparently.
He's one of those creepy guys that has an unhealthy obsession with successful women. He was one of the ring leaders of the Megan Markhle pile on (largely because it seems he had deluded himself into believing he had a chance with her).
He's a bit like that Hopkins character in that he really is best ignored and hopefully he'll be marginalised to the same extent she was.
Indeed, it was the most enjoyable match I’ve seen for ages with , as you say, a consistent flow and non stop action.
Add in Iga Swiatek, another teenager, and the ladies game looks like it has an exciting few years coming up.
Much more entertaining than watching most men’s games !
So predictable.

Womens tennis is in great shape, so competitive. Who wants to see the same two or three names compete for the slams? Not me although appreciate men’s tennis has had three of its greatest ever players careers line up at same time.
I really hope Osaka gets herself sorted, clearly struggling and I’m not sure her heart is in the sport just now.
Already looking forward to the Australian Open!
Never knew she was fluent in mandarin. If her manager doesn't get her some absolutely enormous sponsorships this month he needs sacked

Daniil Medvedev wins the opening set v Novak Djokovic - 6-4.
Djokovic losing the plot and smashing his racket. Just switched on so no idea what it was about. No exactly a great example to any young folk watching. Hope he loses.
Medvedev goes two sets up - 6-4!
One more set required.
Medvedev breaks at the start of the third set.
Medvedev backs up the break after some pressure from Djokovic.
2-0.
Time for a Novac "injury"
Double break Medvedev - 3-0.
Looks like it's all over.
Medvedev one game away.
Djokovic gets one of the breaks back as Medvedev tried to serve it out.
5-3.
5-4, Medvedev to serve for it again.
Medvedev wins 6-4 6-4 6-4 to win his first Grand Slam title and also denies Djokovic a calendar Grand Slam and stops him from winning a record 21st Grand Slam title.
Great to see a new slam champion in the mens game, as great as Novak is it’s so dull the same guy winning all the time, even with tonights game having so much significance for him.
The FIFA celebration chat from Medvedev was brilliant! :greengrin
