    I think the ITF had it right. Ban nationally representative teams but don't prevent individuals from earning at their chosen occupation.

    “It is a significant rebuke of the sport’s oldest Grand Slam tournament and, in a technical sense, renders the event an exhibition without any ranking points at stake.”

    Norrie was a young pro flying the Kiwi flag and asked NZT for some funding to help him. In their wisdom they said no. And that's how we let a guy who would have been the highest ranked NZ tennis player maybe since Anthony Wilding (?) slip through our fingers

    @canefan Cam could be a Jaapie, an Englishman or a Yank.

    He supports the ABs. That tells us what we need to know! 🙂

    Go Rafa! Kick that Aussie's arse! 🙂

    that sounds painful and dangerous.

    Edit and from what I read he was born in South Africa and his father was born in Glasgow (outer Wales?) and both parents still live in NZ (great taste).

    Obviously not at a Kyrgios match, she would have been ejected

    Great bloke on the court, just as great off the court. Never anything but classy - the Ritchie McCaw of Tennis

    Probably should have his own thread. Such a beautiful player to watch in his prime, and part of the most dominant triumvirate the sport has ever seen

    Best player of all-time at his prime. Feel fortunate to have been able to follow his whole career. Great bloke and a wonderful ambassador for his sport too.

    Where have you been? Berretini is #13 in the world and is a GS finalist IIRC. Having said that, Murray is a nightmare draw for a seeded player. Far better than his ranking

    Gauff-Raducanu was a good match to watch. They should have a good rivalry in the coming years.

    An enjoyable match. Raducanu had chances to force a third set but made some poor shot choices, especially when Gauff slowed the rallies down. Played well but there are learnings there
