Interesting response by Kokkinakis to a Ben Rothenburg question at the post match presser ( for some reason he was online ) - Ben asked if they would the World Doubles final if eligible in which the 2K's responded probably - Ben then asked about Kyrgios habit of touching Kokk's bum during matches - Kokk's response to Ben was that he probably enjoys watching this action - I have no doubt that Rothenburg has limited popularity among the player group.

Hewitt's performance at the Aussie Open are over-rated - Got past the fourth round once in 20 attempts.

I'll always remember his FIX THE COURTS outbursts in 2006

While I'm all for the recognition and celebration of Barty's achievements thus far, a statue for a 25yo sports person in the midst of her career - really, 10 years from now perhaps..?

I came 3rd in an U/14 25m backstroke event once (behind two 12yo girls), so where is my statue..?

An Ash Barty statue for Ipswich? Queenslanders celebrate historic grand slam win

Fans, families and children in Barty's hometown of Ipswich gather to cheer on the world number one's victory, while the Mayor sounds out a possible statue of the 25-year-old.

I was watching a tournament in Argentina and they named a court after Diego Schwartzmann...........be like naming a court after the Demon.

Should wait until she is retired but already done enough to get one.

Mate he could be #1 in the world and Captain Neckbeard would still claim "see I was right Top 20 is his peak."

Liked for Captain Neckbeard sledge.

I literally spat out my coffee.

Perhaps, but let's not reinterpret the significance of what statues represent (i.e. related to lifetime achievement), just because of modern popular interpretations.

Schwartzmann getting a court named after him I think is more about, aside Vilas and Sabatini, there hasn't been too many other Argentinians who have even looked like winning a GS event..?

That’s his peak make the most of it. Nothing wrong with that by the way he’s solid.

Not in dispute about potential but Kyrgios has also likely peaked and is heading downtown fast.

They commissioned murals and a monument / statue to him back in 2016 in his home town of Tandil, but I can’t find any stories showing the completed monument. Bit weird.

Barty is paying around $5 - $6 in the three remaining Grand Slams this year. That means the bookies if they were framing a market would have her paying less than $2 to win at least one more Slam this year.

How good is it to finally have an Aussie dominating Tennis again? It has been years.

French Open is unpredictable though, we always see a few unexpected winners.

US is the issue

We don't know what to expect at the US open

But you are right with the French weird results there

Yet on the men's side it's predictable as anything.

Yep another Rafa victory making it 22

It never used to be like this.

Between '87 - '96, only three women won the French Open. See if you can work out the three players who did this without looking it up.

Graf and Seles are 2 for sure. Did Sanchez-Vicario win any as token Spanish claycourter?

Good question! Is it graf, aranxta Sanchez vicario and Seles?

 

[X_box_X]

Yep they're the three. Well done.
