The only argument I would have there is if you get someone good like Jim Courier (at the Aust Open), it can be quite entertaining.
Couldn’t imagine if he was thinking of making a go at the us open at the same time of Serena’s last event.
Im actually in France next week and I was looking at the Tennis schedule. Literally last night, I have Friday - Monday to myself, I was looking at taking a train to London and buying tickets.
Sad to see him go. I wanted him to at least play a few more of the majors to have a proper send off from the fans. I'd guess he's not remotely healthy enough to do that. The game will miss him dearly. Absolute legend.
As many classic matches as Fed and Delpo had against each other (especially the US Open Final and the 2012 Olympics SF), would be fitting to have them go in together.
I’m imagining i would absolutely watch them in a manning cast type of show. Sitting in their rooms, talking shit and telling us about a match.
Other sports are going to try that now but you need a unique set of circumstances which includes having a good duo but they also have to be a certain level of famous and likable. I feel like tennis would have the absolute best shot with those two. But can they crack jokes? The mannings are partially a comedy act.
I think they could, they’re both hilarious dudes in general, quick thinkers and they love the sport. Would be so much more refreshing than the current slate we have.
i’d watch, but i think they’re too nice/diplomatic to critique current players’ games like most announcers do
Actually really doesn’t matter, South Korea is not beating Spain so if we lose it’ll be a crazy tiebreaker scenario
Roger and Rafa one last time, playing dubs against Sock and Foe. Fun match to close out the session and a career.
Officially in France. I wanted to watch some sport. Tennis is in Metz which is 500 KM away from Lyon. Soccer is on International break I believe. And of Course, last weekend, PSG was in Lyon Lyon actually has the #1 French basketball team and EuroLeague starts the week after I leave.
You’re in luck. There is a rugby match tomorrow at 11am local time. edit: i don't know what time it is at, look it up lol
It is super cool in Europe when Tennis is on just normal sports channels. Got the Lavar Cup on one channel and Metz on the other
Watching Rafa & Roger sit together in the backroom watching Murray and laughing and smiling is so awesome
De Minaur is so frustarting to watch. Hes probably the most underrated mover/defender in Mens tennis right now
