Frustrating - my amazon prime is not working. It was fine but now implying the internet connection isn't good enough. Bah - bring back SKY


 Mine is working fine on my laptop, with none of the problems reported elsewhere (lag etc). But my Firestick won't load any of the tennis channels on Prime.

The outcome I rather feared:

L96:  (WC) Félix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) WR 58 defeated Cameron Norrie WR 48 by 3 & 2 in just over an hour  cry

Dan gets Wawrinka. The winner of that (29) Fucsovics and the winner of that probably (4) Federer in the L32.

 This is the real reason the Murray camp has issues with Evo. Evo should have beaten Stan in the USO, he even had match points. He did not and Stan won the USO, and now has as many Slams as Murray.  Because Slam count is the most important stat, and Slan has a 3 of kind and Murray only 2, Stan ranks higher in the GOAT spreadsheet.

just saying.

 that is more than hilarious, how do you manage to type that with a straight face? Andy has way more titles than Stan does which pushes him out in front of Stan.

Edited - you're right in that Dan should've won that match.

Pasting from "King Felix" handed to Cam there - was it as one sided as the scoreline suggests?

I think Vandy does have a point just about history putting great store on Slams. So although clearly Andy has a very much better overall record and 2 Olympic titles it is a pity that Stan has that extra Slam. Slam lists for ever more will have Stan on 3 and Andy on 2 ( well unless Andy does the unthinkable ). Though credit Stan for peaking for them and he is a better player than the rest of his record suggests. He likes his off time.

Though who really believes Andy blames Evo? He had just the one MP vs Stan by the way although a golden chance to get to another in a great performance. I think Andy may blame Andy though for not having more than 2.

Edit : duh to me but rather sleepily misled. Andy of course has 3 Slam titles so Stan is not ahead of him anyway!

 I don't understand this post.  Does he really think people on this forum don't know that?  Or is it just an excuse to repeat the drug ban mantra?


Would suggest more appropriate to use gender neutral pronouns such as ze if you dont know what gender I identify as.

Back on topic - Ive bunged a pony on 2-1 Evans, I fancy him to catch Stan cold.

 Phew! I was about to reply, wondering if I'd dreamt one of Andy's slam titles!!

 Given that Vandy was all about that FO ruining their careers, I do hope this is not a prediction that Stan will get another slam to make 4 and pull ahead of Andy.

Yes, I don't think 3 different Slam titles is any particular factor over 3 from 2 different Slams which I now see is what Vandy was pointing to.

Basically they will list as having 3 Slam singles titles each.

The profile for Jeff Stelling shows the gender as M so it was reasonable to assume that you identified yourself as male.   I have and always will refer to such individuals using the male pronoun "he", unless requested to do otherwise.  And those shown as female will be she.   If you have issues with gender identity I suggest you update your profile.  I come on here to talk about tennis and don't want to get into a debate about gender. Thank you.

Not surprised by Cams loss to Felix, the score is exactly as I expected. Felix will be top 20 very soon maybe even top 10 by year end. Hes the one to watch even more than the likes of Shapovalov and Tsitsipas in my opinion. Thinking again about Andy and how much we will miss him (he will never be near top 20 again I even if he plays). The chances of the UK having a top 10 player in mens or womens game in the next 5-10 years is almost zero.
