🇬🇧 Felix Mischker has set a special goal: winning one ATP singles ranking point.
After cruising through qualifying at the m25 in Monastir, Mischker eventually beat Fondriest 7-5, 6-4 in the 1st round today to get his first singles point! 🔥✅️

A former top 10 tennis player (not long ago) going viral for being a sad unknown fan at a world cup match is just the perfect representation of how irrelevant and badly promoted tennis is outside of our bubble. Perfect reality check. Same happened with Berrettini last year.

Sorry to say that, but pro tennis has never felt more unimpressive than watching some of these players on grass. Unable to hit volleys, lots of players fail to implement/hit a decent slice (little exemptions, e.g. Musetti). Zero variation on their serves... Very one-dimensional.

One of the most iconic "revenge moves" of Rafael Nadal's career. After that win in Madrid, Berdych got to a 3-1 lead in the H2H & stated that Nadal's playing style is somewhat "predictable and monotonous".

Sinner is 0-6 vs. Medvedev 1-4 vs. Zverev, 0-3 vs. Djokovic, 2-5 vs. Tsitsipas. 4-6 vs. top 10 in his last 10 matches (13-26 overall). I really like Sinner and his ceiling is massive, but so are his weaknesses at times. We should stop using "generational talent" inflationary.

Serena Williams isn't just an inspiration for me, she also made me fall in love with tennis.

According to Kyrgios, you're not allowed to call a foot fault against him because "he's doing this shit for 9 years and has one of the best serves on tour."
"I'm honouring the tour and every week I get fines or penalties for nothing."
