God I hate Novak!!

[DramatistDreamer]

At this point, I am indifferent.

Like the interviewer expressed, he's trying to have it both ways-- doesn't want to be seen as a poster child for antivaxxers (which, he essentially is). Concedes that he was vaccinated as a child and the COVID-19 vaccines are likely effective, yet asserts his right to not be vaccinated.

Makes little sense to me.

Well he and his wife are major shareholders in a company developing a "cure".  He can't be pro-vax or say that vaccinations are OK.  It would go against his investment in a company whose goal is to 'cure' the cold.  Covid is of the same line as the common cold I believe I've read.  So there's never going to be a cure likely, but he's sticking to his own (albeit stupid) guns.  And pocket book.

[Soapsuds]

There's no cure to covid like the flu or common cold. So this business of him developing a cure is bs

Andy Murray give it up!

You've been booooed by the Australian fans for lying about retirement.

You keep firing coaches because you think you still got it.

Today you lost 0 and 1 to RBA.

¿Qué sorpresa, no @Soapsuds?

[Soapsuds]

Oh dear and today's his birthday.

[DramatistDreamer]

He clarified the situation. Still, a birthday to forget.

 

Spanish media, like much of the media around the world, seems to revel in chaos and creating intrigue. 

[Soapsuds]

I was skeptical that he was involved especially when no one else was reporting it.

[DramatistDreamer]

It did seem bizarre but so much of what goes on in tennis these days is bizarre.

[DramatistDreamer]

You didn't even have to tell me this, because I already guessed it. And one of the lawyers from Sharapova's team for her CAS case being a judge in the Valieva hearing was some type of coincidence.

Poor Halep. Penko wore her down and then bageled her

I saw that score. Shades of the Roland Garros final but more of a demolition. When Ostapenko is on, look out.

Really hit or miss.  The last time I saw her I thought she needed to lay off the Twinkies.
