That’s rafa officially announced that’s him going at the end of the Davis cup.

Hasn’t really been much of him this last couple of years but that’s the final nail in tennis on the whole.

Sad times but been a cracking 20 years

With Federer already gone and Nadal set to retire soon, only Djokovic remains from the Big 3. End of an era.

Did anyone get allocated any tickets in the ballot?

Thiem has retired. Went on a bit of a heater for a while and made the most of it winning that terrible US open.

Got an email today saying I was successful in the LTA Wimbledon ballot and can buy tickets for the day and court of my choice from 2pm Thursday

Men's final here I come.

Rafa bowed out last night with a loss in his final match.

Won't be remembered as the GOAT as far as titles are concerned but he's been my favourite player for years and would've undoubled won much more had it not been for the injuries.

What a career.

Great gesture by Alcaraz after Draper retired injured in the fourth round of the Australian Open.

 

[Reuben klang]

Crazy. First time this tournament that I’ve actually looked at the scores.

Would be interesting to see the drop in interest since Roger and Rafa retired.

Game probably needs a good American talent and/or a couple of likeable blokes at the top to kick start it again. Otherwise it’ll be in the dull drums!

Super impressive from Novak today. Looks like he might be out on his feet though, although you can never quite tell with him. Sinner's to lose, imo.
