What on earth is going on with Raducanu, I understand she's young but she seems to have injury after injury month after month

Insert 'must play for Leicester' gag here.

Alcaraz seems to be the real deal then?! The next sensation. Just seen the Madrid Open results. 

He has won a couple of clay court titles and I think in the USA.

 

Only 19 I think and in the top 10 already..

Growing pains?

 

Bit of stress and pressure getting to her maybe.

Laura Robson has retired apparently. Tbh I had absolutely no idea she was still playing.

I don't think she was really - more a case that she hadn't quite accepted it by formally announcing her retirement. Such a shame for her - she clearly had a lot of talent and some real weapons that could have got her a few titles. Looks like Kyle Edmund might be heading the same way as well, as apparently he's had to have yet another operation.

Nice unbalanced draw for the Men’s French Open with Djokovic, Nadal, Zverev & Alcaraz in the same half.

 

And this quarter of the Women’s draw is just evil 😲

Looked a bit ropey for a while but she certainly made a good comeback. Hopefully she'll take the confidence into the next round

Been suffering with injuries so good to her fight through a tough match and win. Hopefully gives her confidence and shows she is heading in the right direction in terms of fitness too

Watching Tsonga v Ruud. Tsonga serving to stay in the match, which should he lose will be his last match. 40-40 at 4-5 down in the 4th set, the umpire calls Tsonga up on a time violation, when he's clearly holding back tears.

 

I've watched Djokovic for years bouncing the ball 900 times before each serve. I've watched Nadal for years spending 5 minutes pulling his boxers out his arse before each serve, and never get pulled up on it.

 

I mean he won the game,  then broke Ruud, so maybe it worked, made him realise he's not done yet, but I thought it was terrible timing from the umpire.

Tsonga :(:cry: one of my absolute favs, and a few of the youngsters could learn a lot by studying his character. 

Really wanted to see him lift that elusive Slam. Sadly it wasn't to be.

Glad he got the Davis Cup at least. I am going to be a mess when Andy Murray finally calls it a day!

Alcaraz vs Ramos-Vinolas is a tremendous battle, what a match.

I am rapidly turning into a real fan of this guy. He's got Andy Murray's defensive ability, but whilst overall playing more aggressively. He's going to win multiple slams on multiple surfaces.

No bloody idea how he got to some shots in his match today, the kid has got some serious wheels. 
 

As I’ve said on here before, it’s hard to root for players like Medvedev, Zverev & Tsitsipas, but Alcaraz has thankfully come along who is not only an entertainer, he is extremely likeable too, thank god Men’s tennis has him.
