Have you not been watching much or just the women's

Watched bits and pieces of the men's, a couple of full matches, but mainly just Amazon's daily highlight programe. I usually start getting interested in the men's side around the L16 stage when the matches are more few and far between, but I'm genuniely interested now, and good that there are still a fair few young'uns remaining. Tsitsipas will be kicking himself even more now for blowing that lead as he was in the same half

Iv seen more of the women's but should be interesting who you think will win
 
There's a lot of hatred for the greatest tennis player of all time in this thread over the last few pages. Don't worry I'm sure we'll see him beat Federer from match point down a couple more times before the old man retires.

Probably because he’s acted like a total tosser for the last year

I'm thinking probably another Osaka vs Serena final, but still a fair few obstacles in the way like Azarenka, and even Brady is playing really well. Really hard to call.

I think the winner will come from the bottom half in the men's - still some slam finalists down there, but a hell of a chance for someone in that top half to make a first ever final. An all Canadian final would be decent, but a long way off.

What’s happened to the Robson lass? She basically retired now?

Aye, various injuries, wrist, hip. Made a brief comeback including playing at Sunderland last year, but I'm not expecting much more than that sort of thing again in the next couple of years, before settling into media full time. I quite like her commentating, so pleased she's getting opportunities, although the GB women to make the top 100 in the last 20 years or so are few and far between, so not many options if they went an ex player perspective.

Yes I noticed she was doing commentary. Shame as she had a bit of personality and certainly had the height and was getting there in the power stakes to compete. Heather Watson always disappoints and I don’t like the other British girl.
