aDONisSheep Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 My favourite Thiem oot already! As for Osaka, if she's struggling mentally, then maybe she should take a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She cited the negative effect on mental health of having to face the press at times, especially immediately after defeats. Now all 4 grand slams have issued a joint statement pretty much telling her that if she doesn't do the press she will be kicked out and banned. https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/statement-from-grand-slam-tournaments-regarding-naomi-osaka Good. Whether she likes it or not it’s a part of her job. Djokovic had her telt last week as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan is now debating his diagnosis with Prof Andrew 'Beef' Johnson and a large number of other Mental Health experts on Twitter.

pandarilla Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 And now Osaka withdraws after threat of expulsion That's a massive story.They've called her bluff with the threat of expulsion and she's just trumped them.This could really backfire on the French open and the wta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Your always safe being on the opposite side of an issue from Novak Djokovic, but Piers Morgan certainly confirms it.The WTA telling someone that their mental health doesnt matter, and theres no wiggle room for a workaround that allows them to compete, in this day and age is a pure minter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It's fairly common knowledge that Novak Djokovic is a fucking wanker. I'm surprised more people haven't said it publicly. Think only Kyrgios has gone public saying as much so far. Perhaps when he retires he'll get deservedly buried for his daft comments and stances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 When did Diego Schwartzman become good? He was a complete mid carder as far as I knew. A solid 2/3rd rounder at most at the slams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Musetti looks like he's running out of steam now. Played beautifully in the first two and a half sets but Novak been ahead since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Djokovic went full on Drago there after losing the first two sets. 6-1, 6-0 and the Italian retired with an injury at 4-0 in the fifth.Musetti looks like something special though. Think we will be seeing a lot more of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipa Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Agree with the above. Musetti played really good stuff the first 2 sets, but it's almost as if Djokovic said "Shit, 2 sets down, better start playing." Will be one to watch in future though. Also feel a bit for Koepfer, played really well Saturday against an, admittedly, under par Federer, lost to him, only for Federer to withdraw from the tournament. Think Koepfer will also be worth keeping an eye on going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Medvedev with a ridiculous underarm serve match point down to Tsitsipas at 5-6 in the third.Smacked back down the line easily and the Greek is in the semi. Medvedev is a talented player but don’t think he’s got the head for the majors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
