Quite probably.
Dominant wrist. Absolutely the right call.

yep and these injuries can get worse, he's so young probably not used to the workload. People forget he went deep in Adelaide too so he's had a gruelling schedule. Then he plays 2 5 setters in the GS. Body isn't used to it, it happens. I remember early on when Novak's body was an issue. I'm confident Korda will get there just needs a year.

Didn’t realise Pegula is 28. Maybe this is her level.

This got me thinking about the age of first-time grand slam champs. The last 30, in age order:

What do you expect. Majority of people who go to RLA only want to see the favourite win they don't really care about the other player. Tomorrow night will be awful for Rublev and he is a decent player. He will receive no support whatsoever from the crowd. Nothing you can do really.

I'll be there supporting him!
