Members Faulkner Posted January 23, 2019 Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Yeah, it’s sad. I know Kei’s tennis career is way too lucrative (in terms of endorsements in Japan) to quit just yet. His sponsors don’t seem to be bothered that his performance has generally stagnated (he hasn’t made another GS final), as he’s still one of Japan’s biggest athletes. And hey, he’s become a top 10 player again, which is better than 99 percent of players on the tour. He just can’t get past a Grand Slam QF. Nice work if you can get it when folks like Feliciano Lopez and Kohlschreiber and Simon are all still playing with not much to show for it in terms of big trophies or deep runs in majors so... He just needs to be careful, as life is more than tennis, and he doesn’t want to live with debilitating pain for the rest of his life.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Joe Barton Play has been suspended for wheelchair matches due to the heat. And close to being suspended for all other matches. Currently 39 degrees or 102F, Expected to get to 84 overnight with a high of approx 105 - 110 tomorrow. TO update PLAY SUSPENDED Joe Barton IT'S officially too hot to play. The tournament referee Wayne McKewen has officially deemed that the head stress scale has reached 5.0, meaning play on outside courts is suspended and the roof of Rod Laver Arena is to be closed. Petra Kvitova and Danielle Collins are waiting in the shade until the roof is fully closed, which should only take a few minutes. All play on outside courts has been stopped. Gee reading the updates, someone is not happy at all. Collins fumes as roof closed due to heat Joe Barton The heat stress reading has hit 5! That's a suspension of play on all outside courts, and it will lead to the roof being closed on Rod Laver Arena. A smiles comes over the face of Petra Kvitova, because this will certainly advantage her now. Collins was thriving in the heat, and she's probably the only person at Rod Laver Arena who not happy about that one. There's a huge cheer from the crowd, but Collins Edited January 24, 2019 by SnCCorinthos4ever to add more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 John McEnroe made a comment on how he was too short for tennis. He looks just like Stefanos minus the long hair and beard/mustache...LOL I wonder what kind of game he has.... Gotta love the screaming going on between Petra and Collins. Carlos Ramos is at it again and now with Collins....LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted January 24, 2019 Members Share Posted January 24, 2019 Naomi is the first woman to back up her maiden GS title with a final in the next Slam since Jennifer Capriati won the Australian and then the French in 2001. She’s no flash in the pan. She’s the youngest to make back-to-back finals since 20-year-old Ana Ivanovic made the Aussie Open final in 2008 (losing to Sharapova) and then won the French. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
