Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 4

Grand Slam - Australia Open - Day 5

Based on what? Last time Nadal beat Zverev on a hard court was 2017 and Zverev has improved tremendously since then. In my opinion, Zverev will smack Nadal and may cause some trouble for Medvedev. Based on the fact Zverev doesn’t win big games, Nadal in 3 or 4.

Medvedev calling out crowds isn't anything new. This still makes me laugh.

Did Cristiano Rinaldo come up with the “Siuuuu” thing?


Yet another reason to dislike that mirror loving self absorbed arrogant twat.

Bit harsh, he is one of the greatest sportsman to ever live.

I'm proud to be Australian 50 weeks of the year.

He'll get wildcards for as long as he plays mate.

Wildcards are given out for a number of reasons, being able to draw a crowd because you are entertainment value is a big consideration.

Yep, for the time being it appears the ATP tour/GS hosts are happy to provide NK wild cards purely for his bum-on-seats capability, not his tennis ability or potential results. Providing he continues to win matches early in the draw and is semi-competitive winning the odd set later against the top seeds, then his wild cards will continue.
This 'arrangement' may end if/when other players, specifically qualifiers, complain that NK is being constantly gifted a spot in tournaments for entertainment/marketing purposes only - which may already have occurred.

I doubt he'd be getting too many wildcards at the moment. He's barely played and his ranking was ok up until a few months ago.

It's not an issue for the next couple of years and I reckon he'll walk away from the spot after that anyway.

He could play exhibition matches or doubles?

Great player, even greater twat.

*, I love this campaigner! "I want all of you to know, when you sleep tonight, I won because of you"

Great player, even greater twat.

Does more for charity than most people could dream of, Ron gets a bad rap because he's so driven to be the best.

Lance Armstrong also did a lot for charity.

Ronaldo is a great player, one of the best ever.

He’s also an unlikeable, arrogant, self absorbed twat.

Doubt I’m the only person who thinks that.

Heaps think that, I just like defending him.
