    The youngest ever player, Gauff, who’s 15, is currently beating Venus Williams.

    Gauff’s knocked Williams out of Wimbledon, what a start for a 15 year old.

    He’s not local, he’s South African and has been ever since he started supporting Liverpool, apparently.

    Slightly Off Topic...although he's present at Wimbledon as usual.

    Just watched the "John McEnroe: Still Rockin' at 60" documentary with Sue Barker. ( Not physically with her obviously, she's the interviewer etc).

    As well as being one of the greatest ever in the sport, he certainly has a great sense of humour. Also a decent guy.

    Well worth a watch. (BBC iPlayer from Sunday evening).

    Edit: He can't sing for **** !

    Forget VAR and Hawkeye. I want some geek to make a fortune inventing a "Grunt Filter" .
    It drives me crazy - just watching Nadal vs Sugita...it's like a bloody farmyard on steroids out there !
    I thought the ladies were bad, but it's just a different frequency.

    Do we need to check his football supporting credentials before we can like him.
