by the way, it is worth noting that Coco has yet to win a wta 500 or 1000 series event on clay,- she does have 3 titles, all 250, 2 of them are on hard courts.. worth pondering over. I think she is better on fast courts because of her awesome foot speed and defense.. she does like to volley, so if she goes to the net more, like Leylah, she could do well even on slower courts - let us hope she tries it. Charleston could be her best bet on 'clay'..

I do believe there will be many future competitive match between Carlos and Jannik for decade to come. I would not count out Jannik to put pressure on Carlos at top.

Incoming crop (once Novak retires): Carlos, Rune, Jannik, Musetti. But we still have to wait.
Fritz is a bit older, but he will be there too.

I think the under 25 crop of player in men game is big. Player like Carlos, Stefanos, Casper, FAA, Holger, Jannik, Lorenzo, Sebastian Korda, Denis Shapo, Miomir.

I like Jimmy Butler.
But this is another word that is losing any sort of meaning: LEGEND. Butler is very, very good. Legend is another status.

Butler's in his 30's, and Alcarez is 19, so I would hope not.

Djokovic called a press conference for today. Big announcements were expected. Table setup with many microphones in front of him. The sum total of the news he wanted to break: he's going to play in Dubai. What are we doing here Novak? Approaching Aaron Rodgers level of attention seeking.

Serious pondering here.
Notice this strange pattern. You are an antivaxxer. Yet, you claim you are not; you a simply "doing your own research". You hold strange ideas: energy mines in Serbia, experimentation with powerful hallucinogens drugs, the earth is flat. And you, therefore, can't stay away from controversy.
And, as you point out, there is this constant demand for attention, despite the fact that you are, indeed, very, very good at what you do.
Novak, Aaron, Kyrie. It seems like a pattern, something worthy of more research (or, maybe the research is there, and I have no idea).
Am I missing somebody? (Again, I am being serious).

You are going to play an ATP 500. Tweet could have done it.

I was so glad to see him run around the ball to hit the return instead of trying a tweener. And wow what a shot! :o

I'm planning a press conference to announce my last two Around The World trades. Hope everyone can attend.

Speaking or Rodgers, I need a new Packers jersey... getting hard to wear my Rodgers or Favre jerseys and not feel icky about it. Maybe I'll reveal a new one at my press conference!
