Right now. The tennis genie shows up and offers me this deal:
You can let this be played out.
Or
You can assure that Norrie wins, but you will get C19.

I can certainly spend a week in bed. No problems there.

Some much-needed appreciation for a great career..as a Muslim woman, she always had to clear one more hurdle than others...by far, and I mean by miles and miles, the best woman player ever from India.

I remember that. I am not a "fan" of cricket because, being in South America, the sport is basically unknown here. But I do like it a lot, and follow it when I get the luck to work in the middle or far east. So I know how Indians feel about cricket. Given the choice between being president of India, or a cricket star, I would say 75% of kids will choose cricket.

That's a significantly more difficult shot to hit than the between the legs shot.
The between the legs shot isn't really that difficult, and is often the best option when running down a lob.
But this shot is really difficult even at 24 years old, let alone at 66.

I'll be the representative of the unpopular opinion - I want to see kyrgios win.

I am (presumptively) looking forward to the battle between him and Djokovic. I think he will push Novak.

You meant to say you want Djokovic to win today, right?

Yes, to have the battle with Kyrgios, where hopefully Novak loses.

Mansour Bahrami. He grew up playing, in Iran, with a wooden racket.
Not a racquet with a WOOD frame. Where the strings should have been, he had a piece of wood. So he had incredible touch, when he was a pro.
