To the technically challenged this is bad news.
I've only recently got Netflix now this starts.

I don't male as much use of it as I should.
Same could be said of box sets.
Wonder what numbers the tennis will get, big effect on sponsors etc.

Very bad for Edmund losing to Lorenzi, a guy who for years never made it past the first round of a Grandslam. Although, he did ok last year here.

Murray limped home I see.
Nadal has a very nice section.

Did you see Auger-Aliasseme against Shapo? Seems very worrying that such a talented 18 year old is having issues with his heart.


Anderson vs Harrison was a cracker for a first round tie.

Konta falls at the first hurdle.
Men allowed the same heat breaks as the women on request. Nice when they have to play far longer!
Equality my arse.

Looks like Murray went down swinging.
Going to be a very long road back.

Was a really enjoyable watch.

Probably saves him from getting destroyed by Del Potro in the next round anyway

Nadal and Djokovic have come back from endless injuries.
Can only hope Murray can do the same.

Hip injury seems to be a different beast for some reason. Will be tough.

I think he is finished, tbh. His wildcards and protected ranking entries arent going to last for ever, doesnt look like putting any decent run together to get a ranking good enough to get a direct entry for a meaningful tournament.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

He looks like he can barely fucking walk as well. In between games he limps massively.
