TENNIS PLAYERS (Off-Court Shenanigans)

Andy finally equaled Roger in something.

Murray ties Federer

[Suliso]

He needed four tries to do it, so advantage Roger

Federer got up 4-0, but now it's 4-4, so the set isn't over yet. And what's Rafa doing - still getting baggled.

Murray ties Federer

They have been busy. I remember when he joked that he should go back on the road because it was getting out of control

I say this with utmost respect, but who would want to have four children

That was an old article about their third kid. But they did indeed have a fourth. Almost no info here: https://www.atptour.com/en/news/andy-ki ... urth-child

At a time in which having children is almost a privilege, financially speaking.
No problems there for Andy, sure, but indeed, that is quite a brood.
So, what are the odds of the Federer twins meeting the Murray bros at a Wimby final, 20 some years from now?

is the fourth Murray a boy for sure? If so, both Fed and Andy have an entire Olympics tennis team under their roof.

Four kids would be wonderful if you can afford it. I don't have any kids, but when you're older and they have kids and you get to watch them all grow up... great way to spend the back half of your life.

The emotional and personal aspects are up to everybody. The financial aspects are clear: it is one of the main reasons why people are delaying or downright not having children. It is too much.
Surprisingly, it is the middle class that is affected the most. The rich are rich, so they are not affected, the poor are not going to be poorer by having children. Which is a terrible statement, but I can't phrase it any more palatable.

Absolutely. I never wanted kids. Now that I'm older and more stable, I think they'd be nice to have around, and grandkids, too. But honestly it's not how I've ever wanted to spend my time. Bless those that do - I am in awe of them. Parenting seems like the hardest job in the world.

For sure

[Suliso]

We have extremely high standards for parenting now (too high?). Two or three generations ago it wasn't like that.

Well at least we know the hip isn't preventing him from living what seems to be his best life...

[ponchi101]

That was nine months ago. Maybe THAT'S how he re-injured the hip...
(You started )

[ti-amie]

Good point ponchi. Maybe we should go back and calculate Kim giving birth with his hip issues...(no double entendre intended)
