Re: Tennis Random, Random
I thought he had retired until I had stumbled on his doubles match at the US Open this year. I had looked it up and he had announced he'd retire in Australia earlier this year, but ended up not playing.

In slightly related, I saw Xavier Malisse was playing doubles last week!

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Maybe people are thinking he's older than he is because you're thinking of him as playing during Agassi/Sampras years? He barely did. Agassi obviously stuck around for a bit, but Jurgen's really more of a contemporary of Roddick and Nalbandian (and let's be honest, Federer), more than Tommy Haas, you know?
I think playing years can run together sometimes, but if you think of Domi and Iveta, you'll do better with realizing he's not that old, just hasn't been in the mix in singles in a long while.

Is Jasmine Paolini at 5'3'' (1.60 m) currently the shortest player on WTA tour? Or did I miss someone even smaller?

Re: Tennis Random, Random
There was Xavier Malisse who 'came out of retirement' (using an old Prince Diablo racquet!) a couple of weeks ago to play doubles with Lloyd Harris (they beat the top seeds on their way to the Semis).meganfernandez wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 3:34 pm Kind of shocked that he is just now retiring. I would have guessed he retired ages ago, since I don't pay a lot of attention to doubles. Also would have guessed that he's older than 40 and that he made the French semi run a lot longer than 11 years ago.
But Tommy Robredo, who turned pro in the last century, will outlast them all.
Tommy's got to be, what, about 52 years old now?!

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Argentinian tennis is slowly getting old. Six players in the top 100, but only one (JM Cerundolo) younger than 29.

Proof that tennis is tied to country wealth. Argentina's economy has been tanking for decades now, and the sole sport that young people can play for a reasonable amount is football.
