Should take his own advice lol

I never knew about Johnson until ch7 kept telling us there's a Stevie J tennis player and footballer.

Actually I think it was Basil who kept talking about it.

Kyrgios will do well IF and this is a big if , he continues to focus on his tennis and the good side of entertaining like in todays match, he will bring alot of people through the gate if he plays like today. I really enjoyed this match

He has focused on his tennis mostly for the past year, that's why he has reached his currently ranking.

Masur was just talking about how Kyrgios is like a Agassi who has the ability to attract a new audience especially younger people to watch tennis.

 

[danstar]

Kyrgios is still getting a bad rap from certain parts thats why i said he needs to focus on his tennis to change that perception

 

[JackNah_8]

Del Potro is looking good

 

[danstar]

[JackNah_8]

Go Del Potro, he won!!

 

[danstar]

Just with respect to Del Potro, how long does that protected ranking last? I think it's fair to have it initially but once you are back and playing well on the tour again how long should it last for?

 

[danstar]

I think he would be back inside the top 100 after this u.s open anyway as he started the week at 142 protecting no points

He hasn't been back for long to be fair

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

He hasn't been back for long to be fair

So what exactly are the rules, how long does the protected ranking last?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

So what exactly are the rules, how long does the protected ranking last?

Had to look it up; directly from ATP website:

The Entry Protection shall be in effect for either the first nine tournaments that the player competes in using the Entry Protection (excluding wild cards and entries as a Direct Acceptance with his current position in the Emirates ATP Rankings) or for the period up to nine months beginning with the first tennis event that the player competes in, whichever occurs first.

Do you know Stosur won the US Open 5 years ago?



May not look like it by the brain dead tennis she played today but she did.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How she managed to not collapse in a heap I'll never know in that match!

Cheers (Could have looked it up myself but thought someone on here would know )
