I see John Mcenroe and Martina Navratilova carrying a placard, to rename Margaret Court Arena, priceless.
What a pair of dicks, what do they then do if Evonne Goolagong Cawley says something they don't like, make up another placard?

So much for inclusion

The underlying problem is IMO, how much these media personalities take it upon themselves, to be judge, jury and executioner on issues. As though they are paragons of virtue, or have some underlying intelligence, to support their obvious biases. Absolute muppets IMO.

I propose that we demand a name change of Yankee stadium to African American Stadium to acknowledge the suppression and slavery imposed by white Americans on the blacks.

In other words, MYOB.

Indeed. When we need a lecture on appropriate behaviour, we won't be taking it from Mac Superbrat. He was fouled out of a match in Australia wasn't he.
As for Navratilova, Margaret Court has done more for women's tennis than Martina will ever do. And at a time when it wasn't easy, Margaret was a pioneer had to practice with the men.

And the presentation to M.Court should have been televised. Why wasn't it?

Superbrat and Navratilova's visitor visas should be cancelled with extreme prejudice by ScoMo

Because the media would have made it a farce and the vocal minority would have disrupted the ceremony, after all those two groups run every National agenda. IMO

Jee wiz this game between Thiem and Zverev, shows we are on the cusp of the next generation of players, fantastic to see and great that Nadal, Federer and Djokovich have pushed them to a new level. IMO

Huge Wimbledon final tonight.
Go Kygios!
He became a Vegan a few years ago but his new mentor has him eating fish. Big difference.

I am no fan of Novax Djokovic, but I will not be too upset if the Joker wins, because Nick Kyrgios is a jerk.

At the end of the day, as long as it is a great game that's what it is about, finals so often disappoint, hopefully not this one.
Obsessively focused Vs natural flair, should be interesting.

Yes, also defensive boring player always playing the percentage shots vs talented interesting player aggresively making play.

Nick has had his demons. I hope they get excised today.

The only problem is, that it is on at the same time as the tour de France, so we end up chanel surfing. Lol

Yes watching it now. ?

Yes the tour has some amazing athletes, we love the cycling.

Amazing that Novak made it from the ICU to win Wimbledon... Just amazing.

</tongueincheek>

 

[SirRumpole]

Nick did just enough not to be disgraced, but Djokovic hasn't won 21 Grand Slams for nothing.

Losing a point on your serve in a normal game can be overcome, in a tie break it's deadly.

 

[wayneL]

Surely, after everything he's been through, Djokovic must now be seen as the greatest ever.

Bloody well done.

Irony

Yea. Probably would of had another 1 or 2 if not banned from entering compliantly corrupt Countries.
