Unnecessary as they are here, the lack of doubles lines on the court just looks wrong.
Also, no-AD scoring and first to 4 sets is bullcrap at a major ATP event.

Well, that sucks, Felix withdrew from the ATP Challenger event in France with a left knee injury.

Not good. Hopefully this is the start of the off season for him now as well. I don't want to see him trying to play another challenger in 2018. Felix, Milos and Denis all need to rest and recover for the next month so they can hit the 2019 season strong.

Absolutely.
No one wants to read another rant about the season being too long...but: the season is too long!

GirlySports hasn't responded because she's too busy celebrating.
Fed is making up for his terrible opening round vs Kei, during which the commentator described it perfectly..."playing with all the control of an unattended garden hose."

That's gotta be a Robbie Koenig-ism and it's a great line lol
/Fed defeated Thiem 6-2 6-3 in 67 minutes

Nishikori is so useless. How do you beat Federer and lose to Anderson 60 61?

As much as I hate to say it, I think we are seeing the decline of Fed, nobody can defeat Father Time. Also, Kevin Anderson over the last 18 months or so is playing some of the best tennis of his career, how long he can keep playing at this level is tough to say, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Aussie Open final (probably facing Joker).

In other news, Aggie Radwanska has retired after 13 years on tour. Very solid career and I enjoyed watching her matches, enjoy retirement Aggie.

Of this generation, Aggie and Petra would be my favourites. Best of luck to her!

Yet another top 10 Men's Tennis players of all time, this time from Tennis.com
1. Roger Federer
2. Rafael Nadal
3. Rod Laver
4. Pete Sampras
5. Novak Djokovic
6. Bjorn Borg
7. Ivan Lendl
8. Jimmy Connors
9. Andre Agassi
10. Ken Rosewall
Pretty good list, as of today it's hard to argue.
Speaking of lists I was thinking about the best matches I saw this year on tour. I admit I'm biased and watch mostly the Mens tour and 95% of the time I'm watching Nadal but here are my top 3 matches of the year:
3) Nadal vs Djokovic Wimbledon
2) Nadal vs Del Potro Wimbledon
1) Nadal vs Thiem US Open
