    Well i sort of agree but he has won the supposedly 5th major at Indian Wells to be fair and had a very good US Open

    I'd say another eighteen months to two years. If he stays injury free and keeps the heavy winter training up, he'll be right in course to win a major. Maybe earlier, but the others have that behind them, and in today's game, with long rallies and long matches, super fitness is a must.

    Been frustrating so far, Norris won easily after Bellucci burnt himself out, Raducanu is her own worst enemy at times.
    The amount of unforced errors is her downfall.

    She's a very, very good player, her decision making sometimes is questionable.

    But fair play to her

    Just back at the hotel. Was at No.1 court. Good to see two Brits win(Kartal and Norrie.) Great atmosphere for both games. Shame Raducanu couldn’t complete the trio but she competed at least.

    He's a Saffer, brought up in New Zealand to a Scottish father and a welsh Mother. Never lived in the North.

    So you can easily see how he supports the Saudis mind!

    Born South Africa, moved to NZ, but New Zealand tennis organisation wouldn't pay travelling expenses to the overseas tourneys. So switched to UK for funding, then went straight off to University in USA and played as an american in the NCAA amateurs before turning pro. Now living in Monaco, maybe to avoid taxes.

    Past his prime now, so won't improve like Draper can.

    At least Rusedski became a UK citizen for marriage reasons not funding money.

    Fair play to Sinner. What a career he’ll have
