Rafel Nadal ja és a Palma. Ha arribat amb el temps just d'Austràlia per arribar a Manacor abans de la roda de premsa sobre el seu 21 Grand Slam. A l'exterior de la terminal, l'esperava la seva dona, Francisca Perelló.

Djokovic's celebration so uncalled for. Ben Shelton played a terrific third set, and it could have gone his way. Respect goes a long way specially from a top player, playing a humble kid...
Draper going into details about how he felt sick during his match against Sinner. But he said he wouldn't retire during a semifinal match off a Grand Slam. He also said he felt really sick in the second set but pushed through. And he feels proud for doing so.

a frustrated Denis Shapovalov accuses umpire Carlos Bernardes of being a corrupt. No warning. Nada. Now, Medvedev screaming at the umpire. Unpunished!
After contacting ITIA this afternoon, I just got an email back with the clarification regarding Jannik Sinner's case to my question, if it's made public right away when a player fails a doping test.
"No it does not. The WADA rules dictate when cases become public. When any
I miss the days when first few weeks of the year before the Australian Open were about koalas and kangaroos and who held it better. Past three years have been challenging with the fire, forced quarentine 2021 and this year comedy of errors.

It amazes me that for a billion dollar project like this one, cleaning the river Seine, they would not take into consideration the possibility of rain and contamination again. Or maybe they did and decide to deal with it after the fact ...
Serena had a point when she accused the Tour of being sexist and that a man would have not get penalized just for talking to the umpire the way she did. She was right. Unacceptable.
Blame Novak for not having safety measures in place in his event, but don't blame him for having Zverev, Cilic, Thiem Dimitrov, Coric, Troicki and others there. These individuals are grown up adults, making their own decisions. They're as guilty as Djokovic.
Roger passed the point of no return. A few years ago, winning slams at his age was some kind of wonder. Now at 40, returning to the tour after a year without competitive play, sounds so casual & normal. Don't you think? Awesome having

Grigor Dimitrov was not the first one who got tested, but the first one who did the honorable thing by making his positive result public. Perhaps that's why Djokovic' father & Serbia is mad at Grigor. Troicki's wife tested on Friday, Goran a few days earlier. So..

I like the way Soth Korea is dealing with thiso outbreak. At least what its been reported looks like a very serious agressive approach. Their numbers were high from teh beginning so maybe they are dead serious about winning this race. Prevention +addressing this outbreak is key.

What I don't understand is why did Simona Halep had her Athlete Biological Passport scrutinized after testing positive for a banned substance and Jannik Sinner didn't. Thoughts? Wondering what is the criteria on those cases.
#CarlosRamos
, officiating his first women's Grand Slam Championships finals, didn't go well. Was he too harsh on his calls? How many times have we witnessed players smashing their racquets during matches, being coached from their box,talking back to umpires, not being punished?

Choosing not to get vaccinated, ok. But going out and meeting people without a mask while infected with covid, unforgivable. I am ssorry. millions have lost their lives so far. Have a ♡. If nothing else.

In the US it reminds of "dont ask, dont tell" policy. "If you don't test, you don't have cases." is detrimental to population. The CDC says one thing and government says another, So it's very confusing. People do not know what to do, specially those who are so blind by politics.
Roger Federer on Rafael Nadal:
“We respect each other so much. Are we best friends? I do not think so. He has better friends than me and me too. But in the end, it’s about the respect. When we fight on the court, we are rivals.”
Maria Sharapova is a great fighter, clearly feeling her shoulders after the 1st set, managed to make the match competitive in the 3rd. She had opportunities to hold, opportunities to break, saved match points. She possesses gritt, professionalism +determination. Deserves

Djokovc attended a concert in Central Park, for vaccinated only. Don't want to take the vaccine? Ok, people should be able to choose, but to force yourselfi into places/countries where restrictions are in place for the health of others, is plain wrong.
Toni Nadal: "Rafael wants to continue playing, despite his physical problems. Until when? Who knows. Maybe two or three more years. What I’m saying is that Rafael is not a tennis player, he’s an injured person who plays tennis." (via We Are Tennis)
Meanwhile in NYC,

Van de Zandschulp, who is llaying Schwartzman today, went to my friend's store, Mason Tennis on 53rd / Park Ave yesterday, asked if store had

"People still think clay is slow. It's not that slow. If you're playing on a day when it's quite warm then it can be faster than most hard courts. Of course bad bounces, sliding and stuff comes into play as well but the stuff is not that slow." -
