I wrote about Andy Murray. "He asks us to accept this week as his finish but gives us a win that ultimately must break our hearts because it really will be one of his last. One more memory to miss him with. He’s such a beautiful idiot." https://t.co/JKermKojMJ

At some point, Fritz just decided to never lose to Zverev ever again in any form of tennis tournament and I just gotta' respect that.

Nick Kyrgios just consistently talks shit about players that never think even one thought about him these days. The man is so old news, his opinions die as soon as he speaks them aloud.

Nick Kyrgios reveals his friendship with Andy Murray is pretty much over after Murray supposedly blanked his requests to go on his podcast.

Whenever I've criticised Nick Kyrgios over the last few years, I've had people repeatedly inform me of how close Andy Murray is with him despite the fact that their most notable period of obvious friendship was a good decade ago now. 🤷♂️
Nick Kyrgios on Andy Murray: "I wouldn’t even know if he’s a friend anymore." "I guess he’s just like a colleague... we used to be closer." "I wanted him on my podcast, and he acted too important. So there’s your truth. It’s like, bro, find some time." [Unscripted]

Vacherot genuinely became unshakable in the second part of that final. Smiling, loving the moment. A man so content with being there that it truly didn't matter if he lost. But that's why he ultimately won!

Vacherot playing with the freedom of someone that didn't possibly expect to be in this position anyway and - even more helpfully! - against someone he knows for a fact must be feeling the pressure of supposedly being the better player in their family!

Some people go through life seeing their cousins once every few dacades at family weddings and funerals and some people have cousins they play in the final of the Shanghai Masters.

I'm just sad, man. I'll never stop delusioning myself that Novak Djokovic has one more good run left in him but every tournament that goes by, I will say it gets harder to do.

There's a section of tennis fans out there that believe Djokovic deliberately drops sets to opponents as some sort of tactic. 😂

We are 7 games into this match and the physio is out for Djokovic which means he's winning this match and the next one and as a result, the tournament.

Predicting Swiatek's tournament results at the moment is genuinely such a shot in the dark, literally no clue what to expect week to week.

Easily lost in all of his antics is how enjoyable watching Daniil Medvedev play tennis is. Just an absolute chaos demon in the best possible way. Ugly beautiful sort of player.

Yes, you read that right. @DjokerNole makes it *EIGHTY* semi-finals at Masters 1000 level with victory over Bergs at the #RolexShanghaiMasters 🤯

This is the Novak Djokovic equivalent of that one Andy Murray vs Thanasi Kokkinakis Australian Open point.

Novak Djokovic is simply incredible. I hope he never retires ever and keeps outlasting us all forever. Unreal. 🔥
