Yeah Becker deserves a shout.

Djokovic for me, at his peak I’ve never seen mentality like it, always with the crowd against him as well, just incredible. When it comes to sport and music I’m not remotely interested in personality. Loved Borg, McEnroe Federer and Nadal as well. Borg won something like 11 slams and was retired at 26. Incredible

Ivanisevic was awful to watch. Serve, bang, serve, bang and so on.  But a good, emotional fella and hang dog expression so was always a favourite with the crowd.

I always looked for the more elegant but occasionally fragile players, so the likes of Ilie Nastase, Marcelo Rios and Henri Leconte. Recently I quite liked Feliciano Lopez one of the few serve and volleyers left.

Only a gay wouldn't like watching Goran.

Or a tennis fan. 

Pete Sampras hit plenty of aces too but cos of the beauty of his volleys he was great to watch.

Loved to watch Jim Courier me.

Jim Courier rep. What happened to him anyway? Was world no 1 at one stage and I for the life of me can't remember anything of him after that.

I don't recall it being anything in particular.  Peaked quite early for a male player and just seemed to lose motivation or get bored.  I remember him sitting at the changeovers reading Armistead Maupin books and he just tailed off from there

Won a couple of French Opens I think. Beat Sampras there from what I remember.

You what? Ivanisevic boring, Sampras great to watch? It's completely the opposite.

Roger Federer plays his last match tomorrow

 

 

 

[Moo]

Not a fan of Federer but respect the way he's going about his retirement - quickly and relatively quietly, like his idol Steffi Graf.

[KMD7]

Still gutted he's retiring. 

[Captain Howdy]

Murray really needs to call time, he’s absolutely cooked.

[Captain Howdy]

Godspeed you fucking legend

Federer no longer playing is just another thing that makes the world seem a bit more shit than it used to be.

Fucking ridiculous that when you see companies going bang leaving debtors in their wake and a phoenix appearing the next day, the corruption in Government and not a single jail hour served for the 2008 Banking crisis.

[Captain Howdy]

Probably complete sacrilege in todays lunatic age but Emma Raducanu might just have the greatest legs I have ever seen
