Carlos was amazing, it's hard to believe he's only 21 and that good. He has a very good temperament too, a really nice guy.

Alcaraz is a great player, but I'm not sure on him as a person.

I don't know why, but I just can't take to him.

I had this with Federer when I was a kid, and then he started to grow on me, so maybe Alcatraz will do a similar thing for me.

They reckon he could be the best ever if he avoids serious injuries

Federer was probably my favourite- perfection


Crazy that he went on to father two sets of twins

That’s longer than some of the lady’s sets !


Yet they are constantly appealing for equal pay cheques

The women's Tennis has been more competitive and exciting imo.

Obviously the equal pay thing is dumb I'll agree with you on that, because Tennis is a business at the end of the day, and men's Tennis brings in more revenue than the women's game.

Personally I'm preferring the women's game at the moment, but a business isn't going to run itself based on a few random Internet people's opinions.

Federer does seem like a great guy tbf.

And obviously he was a phenomenal player, especially at Wimbledon.

Tennis is not like football. The women's game attracts just as big an audience as the mens game. Given that, then there should be less difference in prize money for the mens and womens games

Oh I get that it's much closer the gap in popularity compared to how men's Football demolishes women's Football in popularity as it currently stands.

However there is still a gap in popularity, which a business will take that into account when doing the wage structure.

meanwhile Caroline Wozniacki has qualified for the 4th Olympics



Raducanu though not competing in the Olympics, but she has a wildcard for Washington

its the same court as roland garros, and who is the queen of clay, yup 1Ga Swiatek, i reckon her to be the top favourite in the singles, i wonder how she'll do in mixed doubles with Hurkacz (another top player from poland tbh)
