Novak missed the US Open 2020 for hitting an umpire with a ball.
Federer and Nadal missed 2016. It was the peak of Murray and Stan in those years. (2012-2016)
Demon beat Korda in straights set at the Libema Open final he's now ranked 7th in the world.
Alex getting embarrassed by Novak at the AO last year might have been the best thing that could have happened to him hasn't put a foot wrong since kudos to you Alex

Beinsports has offer on for $129 for 12 months for those that follow the tour week to week.
Currently have tennis tv and celtic tv for approx $450 a year so going to roll both of them into that for this year.
The coverage is not as comprehensive for either but at less than a third of the cost I will live with it.

Well Stefo has split with his dad.
This could work really well for him, or he could go back to him in 3 months.

Stef old enough to travel by himself and not have his father influence over him plus not get in the way of a new coach.
Going to be interesting in 2028 when England hosts the Euros

A sad day for tennis. A living legend and one of the greatest players of all time.
Thanks for the memories, Rafa.

So Roger retired at the Laver Cup
Rafa retires as the Davis Cup
Makes me think that Novak will probably pull an all-timer and retire at the United Cup before the AO

I would like to thank (not!) the radio newsreader who announced this news with the following words in a sad voice, "Tributes are flowing in for Rafael Nadal who... has announced his retirement". I thought he had died! Might want to look at how you phrase retirement news in the future news dept.
Well done Rafa, an amazing career and will be missed

We all knew it. Not a shock at all.
His last singles match(maybe, depending on what he does in the Davis Cup) was against Novak at Roland Garros at the Olympics. I am a sentimental person, but I don't think you could get a better last match.
