Good for Ash on winning her first Slam title, but this had no stakes. Just a shrug-worthy tournament. Probably the worst in recent memory if we’re considering both the men’s and the women’s sides.

 

For the women, all of the stars crashed and burned early. The men were hampered by piss-poor scheduling.

All those people who were apoplectic on Dominic’s behalf yesterday regarding the suspension of play were wasting their breath. He has spoken.

 

 

 

Such a good gif of the surprise men’s doubles champions celebrating their win.

He just made a final in Melbourne, a semi in NY, and lost a tight battle against the eventual champion in London. With some skillful scheduling for rest and helpful draws, which often happen for him, it’s very doable. And that’s not even thinking about the possibility for more RG titles to put him over the top.

True, but if you overlook his win at the 2017 US Open, where, among others, Djokovic, Murray and Wawrinka were absent, you would have to go all the way back to 2013 to find another win away from Paris for him.

And things will only get tougher for him. He's just turned 33, and has not exactly been injury-free during his career, and there are younger players knocking on the door.

I'm not going to completely rule him out, but personally I don't see him winning 3 more titles to equal Federer. That being said, I don't see Federer winning any more either.
