Didn't see too much but I was impressed by what I saw. Good win against a quality opponent.

Head to head with the cricket in Perth tonight.
I didn't see the match but (/Robert Walls) it was the sort of match you'd expect to see tiebreaks in so for Nick to win in straights with breaks it is a good start.

Not at all surprised at the result. Dasha is as inconsistent as they come.

That was a bust.

Dasha too much of an easy target in mixed doubles.

I hope there is another female option.
Really not a fan of the fast 4 format, prefer how they did it before with regular sets and then super tiebreak.

Same. Fast 4 sucks to watch in mixed.

Well since you are so persistent...
There were several. The ones that I can remember; Roscoe Tanner, John McEnroe, John Alexander, Mats Wilander.
Roscoe Tanner was from Lookout Mountain Tennessee, and I remember looking that up in our giant family atlas (only thing I ever looked up in it I think, lol). This was in the days before you could stalk someone on the internet
Tanner has since been in all sorts of trouble with the law and spent time in jail I remember staying up late watching Wimbledon one year and crying when John McEnroe lost (good grief
) and what I saw in him I'll never know, I hate those spoiled brat antics now!John Alexander was quite good looking back in the day and certainly the best looking of the Aussies at the time. I remember buying a copy of Tennis magazine because he was on the cover
Hidden in a cupboard somewhere I have several photos of Mats Wilander serving at the Aus Open (I liked to photograph him serving as you got to see a bit of his stomach
).

Fast 4 is a concept that upsets diehard tennis fans and doesn't do enough to encourage new viewers. It doesn't work.

I actually think it would be a great idea for social tennis. We have a day once in a while where the family gets together for a hit of tennis and next time we play I am going to suggest Fast4 rules. No let calls and only one point on duece would work well for our bunch of very amateurish tennis players, as would the shorter sets. But for professionals, well I can't see the point

Yep, kids tennis and social tennis are the only two settings where it works imo.I actually think it would be a great idea for social tennis.

Watching a replay of the Kyrgios match, hoping to not have to hear much of the Basil this summer for the tennis.

Edited for accuracy. ch.7 are not the only ones to do it.
but that was a terrible interview.
