    Sinner in a good position right now...
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Sure, but he just fights and fights...and fights...and fights.

    Glad to be proved wrong.

    Sinner is an excellent player with a great temperament. Hopefully he can keep his level up and get the job done and doesn’t start thinking about where he is, the score line and who he’s playing. Djokovic has been very poor by his standards.

    The other guys are mentally and physically tired and then he will fight and fight...

    One of the biggest assets the top three have is a mind full victories.

    Norrie into the semis after a 5 setter. 👏👏👏

    I know my view is unpopular, but I can never understand how they treat the ball boys/girls. They have free child labour stand there to catch sweaty towels.

    Great to see Norrie through. He plays NoVax next in the semi's :-/

    They have to see to their own towels post covid.

    I could be wrong, but I thought I saw it happening again. Plus, what is the child slave standing there for?

    It was getting ridiculous pre covid with players asking for towels after every point and even complaining to the umpire that the ball kids weren’t quick enough about it!

    I mean during the breaks when the players are seated.

    Get them drinks, hold umbrellas...I think we are at risk of missing the point here though.

    Not a service typically supplied by kids. Maybe pubs and restaurants are missing a trick.

    To be fair I think they volunteer (after being recommended by their head teacher), get two weeks out of school, get to keep all their kit, receive a £200 stipend and (assuming their interested in tennis) get to meet the players.

    When I was 15 I would have happily paid to be a ball boy in a Gabriella Sabatini match.

    Yes, that doesn't excuse it. The adults should know better. And shouldn't there be fines for missing school?

    10 point tie break. Nadal has those winning memories.

    Kyrios in the semi's with NoVax.

    It's probably time for Nadal to embrace his baldness and get his head shaved.

    Greatness shouldn't be disparaged.
