Sinner Winner, Carrot Dinner

Great comeback by Sinner, some really nice shots in the 5th set, great tennis.

Well done Sinner, kept his cool to close out the match, getting Aussie coach Darren Cahill on the team certainly has paid dividends.
Cahill has coached some top players.

True. Darren Cahill coached Lleyton Hewitt to two grand slam titles and number one in the world. The Hewitt camp then dumped Cahill and Lleyton's tennis went downhill from there.

The legendary Bjorn Borg was one of the finest tennis players ever to play on the court. He had a prosperous career and a tragic one as well. Borg embraced the game at an early age with massive motivation from his father, Rune Borg, who gifted his Golden racket to Borg to prepare him for what lay ahead. He was forced to retire relatively early and even attempted a short-lived comeback. But his final moment was not as sweet as his start. This video uncovers Borg’s glorious moments in tennis, his sudden retirement, and why he attempted a comeback.

Tearful Boris Becker says he 'hit the bottom' when he was jailed for 30 months for tax evasion in new documentary - and opens up on fling with Russian model in a broom cupboard that ruined his marriage​

The 55-year-old Becker was released from jail in England last December after serving eight months of a 30-month prison sentence for tax evasion. The six-time grand slam winner was convicted last April of hiding £2.5million-worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.

Upon release, he was deported from the UK and returned to Germany to rebuild his life. And the next step in his rehabilitation comes in a tell-all documentary with Apple called 'Boom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker'.
