I'm at the Aussie Open. We lucked out and are watching Nadal.

Blimey, Halep-Kerber was a bit of a ding-dong!

Kudos to Cameron Norris. First ever “pro” match on clay and he comes fron 2 sets down to beat his opponent ranked some 90-odd places above him. Excellent

Edit: having never played more that 3 sets before

rafletcher · « **Reply #462 on:** 24 May, 2018, 07:51:35 pm »

And Cam Norris beats Isner and gets into the top 100.

Some Scottish lad is playing Queens tomorrow, ranked 156th. Wonder if he’s any good.

Turns out he is, just out of practice. He did so well, it was great.

rafletcher · « **Reply #465 on:** 20 June, 2018, 04:55:50 pm »

It was indeed, a fantastic return. Hope he’s ok enough to play Eastbourne now.

rafletcher · « **Reply #466 on:** 27 June, 2018, 11:48:01 am »

Well he was, and didn't he do well. A good test coming up today.

Does the panel think that Murray A’s career is in serious jeopardy from his hip problem?

Great result for Katie Boulter yesterday; showed real resilience when things started going awry at the end of the second set.

I read a great story at the weekend about grunting players:

apparently at a youth tournament, the spectators started shrieking during the points. Despite the players protesting to the umpire, the fans persisted; the players then stopped their noise, and everyone carried on harmoniously

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #472 on:** 09 July, 2018, 09:51:01 am »

Clive James had a theory that Jimmy Connors changed the timing of his grunt from "as the ball is hit" to "start of the stroke" one year, which proved very effective as confused opponents would try to hit the grunt instead of the ball.

Isner v Anderson. 5hrs30m and counting...

andyoxon · « **Reply #474 on:** 13 July, 2018, 07:12:43 pm »

Not quite up to one of Isner's other matches yet...
