I am talking about before his divorce. His former wife said he never spent time with her like Roger did with his kids.

Milos loses.....Stan loses...both with new coaches and lose first round in grass court tune up....LOL

I am glad for Thanasi and Feliciano.  

Thanasi has a lot of injuries and battled a dark period and Feliciano is better on grass than people give him credit for. Except for one QFs at Wimbledon, Stan's results on grass have usually trended toward the mediocre.

I missed Thanasi match but DVR it and will see it later and saw the ending of Feliciano and Stan.

Lots of players come off clay and bomb in grass tournies prior to Wimby.

Murray loses first set to a LL.

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Just checked the score, Murray's been struggling most of the year...do you think Thompson can close it out?

[Soapsuds]

Murray loses.....LOL

Top 3 seeds out I believe at Queens

[DramatistDreamer]

 

I guess some people don't want to be bothered with Queens this year and I heard they had raised the ticket prices this year too.  

 

Boy, I bet those ticket holders must be pissed!

The top draw was Andy. I found this year's Queens entries pretty weak. I have a feeling we will have a new winner at Wimbledon this year.

Didn't Boris narrowly avoid jail time for a tax issue sometime in the early-mid '00s?  He needs financial counseling, he seems to have chronic long-ranged money troubles.

 

Boris Becker declared bankrupt over ‘substantial’ long-standing debt

I don't know how these tennis players squander all their money away. I can't believe he is broke.

No wonder he stalks Djoker.  Trying to get that income flowing again.

Declaring bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean he's dead-ass broke but it does mean that his expenditures are clearly exceeding his income.

 

He's been trying unsuccessfully to sell that house in Mallorca (can't he sell it to Nadal

? kidding) for over two years now but in the mean time, he should've been cutting down expenses and living a modest lifestyle instead of trying to live a globetrotting lifestyle beyond his means.

 

He's been doing TV commentary, coaching and there is a tennis academy in China that bears his name (and I believe that the academy was built with privately raised funds), so he's obviously not unemployed.  He probably needs to set a budget and live within it, like the rest of us.
