And Vincent is the next one

Well done, lad !

And Mark gets it done too

But poor Edie lost a third-set TB, against Nana da Silva, #7 in the world

Real shame but losing to the JR 7 player, by a whisker, is a very very good result

well, English invented it all Cricket, golf, tennis, F1, Ballroom Dancing. All nice with Queen support and Ltd.,
But truth be told all sold to Arab world.
Money buys a lot but not the genes.

There is genetics problem, that there are not outstanding players ( by that I mean - with results that change the sport ) not just to win once., or one season.

Where are skiers, ski jumpers, Wallyball, Basketball and Handball players and - but that i mean true English blood not international born sportsmen.
So for great sportsmen there is also great culture behind, music, art and knowledge.

Djokovic proved it, so did Tadej Pogacar, Janja Gambret, Luka Doncic, Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc,Vlade Divac, Rok Kopitar,....

its just how I look into buzz which is seen mainly from western perspective... and unfortunately doesn't work...
