Tennis tournament at Silksworth this week

I think his up bringing by his mam to be focused and not give up may have something to do with him not retiring yet, all he has known is Tennis, abit like Lewis Hamilton and his dad. I wonder why he doesn't just stays at home and watch his kids grow up and do coaching or setting up Tennis schools etc

Because he loves playing it's not difficult

There's an ITF event going on in Sunderland at the moment. It's got a very strong field including Nikoloz Basilashvili and Kyle Edmund.

I'm always astounded by the time of night or early morning the Aussie Open goes on to.

Anyone know what channel and time Alcaraz is on?

Started gamesmanship when she was losing again, pretty much everytime she might get beat

3:30 alarm for the first time this fortnight first two sets might well be the worst he's ever played in a big match in his career, might actually have a match now though...

Djokovic absolutely demolished by Sinner. Could very easily have lost in straight sets. Don't think I've seen Djokovic play as badly as that for about 10 years.

Nice news to wake up to. I have Sinner at 12/1 to win the tournament. One more...

First Australian open final without Federer , Nadal or Djokovic since 2005.

Good luck.

I had Hubert Hurkacz and that Ukrainian lass who lost yesterday in the semis, Yastrmenka who was 80-1.!!
Gutted!

So that's why Greg Rusedski invaded my court as I was playing last week to check on the usual drips of water from the outdated heating systems at Silksworth and bemoaned why the LTA don't contribute towards improving Regional Tennis Centres for ALL?
