    I've just seen his odds to win Wimbledon...200/1 on 188BET...they are crazy odds, he reached the semis at the last slam, just beaten the second favourite, Novak, Fed is old, Rafa is poo on grass and Murray clearly will be rusty. I'm putting a cheeky tenner on right now.

    Thiem knocks out Nadal in Milan 7-5, 6-3

    This is opening up nicely.

    Perhaps I should've saved my money, he's just dropped the first set against that Canadian nipper who used the ump as target practice in the Davis Cup...

    I hate American Football with a passion! Basketball and Ice Hockey are good to watch imo...Baseball is alright to watch when you are there but wouldn't dream of watching on TV

    Erm.... Madrid!! Rafa does not like playing at altitude due to the trajectory of the balls or something like that. Watching a good ladies semi on TV here. Kvitova is a lovely player to watch and displays a terrific touch. The other lady I like, apart from the great Serena, is Suarez-Navarro as she is unique amongst the ladies with a lovely single-handed back hand.

    Don´t you mean a gain if he is going into coaching? Let´s hope Dan Evans has a good season now that he is back playing again.

    Leclerc 12th in Q1. Casually popping a lap in 8 tenths quicker than his team mate.

    Well done Leinster!! European Champions for the 4th time. Pity they could not cap their performance with a try. I do wonder how close any of these club/provincial teams are to their counterparts such as the Highlanders and Crusaders?

    So the Madrid Men´s Open is between Zverev and Thiem. Guys like Zverev should be winning slams very shortly as they are faster around the court than the likes of Federer, Nadal, Murray or Djoko.

    Tight match but Zverev managed to squeeze through. Hope Zverev keeps his form going and can at least give Señor Nadal a run for his money. Surely Zverev is faster around the court and has a good armoury of his own to bring to the court when he plays said Mallorcan?

    But for the rain break, and Zverev might well have beaten Nadal in the Italian Open. I hope his performance in recent weeks will give him the confidence in his own ability to finally get past the 4th round of an Open tournament, and to wrest the French Open title from Nadal.
