TENNIS - high on a mountain in Torino the season comes to a close

Are you offering your security services Jane?* *

That would be a fun job kazza I'd have to make sure there were no broom closets nearby though

I know he's done stupid things, and was way more privileged than most, but I have a soft spot for (our) bumbling Boris, and hope he's learnt his lessons from this- it will be hard for him, he's lived a luxurious life (at the expense of other people, really) and I'm not sure how he will earn a living- though there are people who have done much worse who have come back from worses than this.

Maybe a book deal, or a Prime documentary ?
Sme how I doubt he will be back at Wimbledon for a while, though foot-in-the-mouth AC will problem give him a mention

I would definitely watch a Prime documentary about (our) Boris .

Maybe now he’ll finally reveal all about his time with Djok …

I think Boris was a bit naive and easily led re his finances (although paying £20 odd thousand pounds a month in rent was a bit ridiculous!)

I also can’t really see him being back at the beeb but I did quite like AC mentioning him last Wimbledon when it was obvious that he was the elephant in the room!

Hipefully he will be able to keep out of trouble (and broom cupboards) from now on

I actually did have a sneaky bit of respect for AC when w he defiantly kept mentioning Boris, Fizzy- I think he was really very upset about the whole thing, and didn't want him forgotten, it was a very real response, not scripted and I liked him a bit better for it. Whatever Boris did, he was still amajor part of the history of the place and it would have been wrong not to mention him.

AC would also be delighted if all the Djok secrets finally came to light

A Prime series by Boris Becker- My Travels with Novak- The Fig Years.
(I want credit for the title )

the fig years

I would definitely watch the fig years!

All this latent love for AC?!?!?!

Do you want a festive picture of him.........................

Uh oh the klaxon has gone off chez magi

Oh no....

Behave!
Dread to think where the holly is on the festive pic

Just seen a picture on Instagram of Rafa back in Mallorca watching the footy and drinking beer (he also looks as if he’s got his hands down his shorts )

I’m not sure that he’s taking this fatherhood lark seriously!

Oh dear God, no! Magi
Still no love here for AC, latent or otherwise!

fizzy
I'm* *off to Google the Rafa pic!

Poor Rafa, he will be very disappointed with the football result!

That's an awful story about Anne Keothavong's husband

Just googled - yes that’s awful.

It is an awful story.

Thierev is back baby

Wish this was on telly. I've got a splitting headache and need some distraction.

Oh I just found it on Eurosport 2. Has it been on all along?

So, Rafa has won the fan favourite award at the ATP awards. Which is as it should be

Somehow, 'The special Ks' won the Doubles award. Dick has been mouthing off this week- criticising clay tournaments. And the fact Ash Barty won an award in Aus and he didn't.

He is planning to play RG- purely because his gf wants to go to Paris .

I don't know what is going on with his court case, but I really hope he doesnt get away with anything.

I saw Kokkinakis saying they won and quickly scrolled on by.

Glad Rafa got it and Holger got the Newcomer award. The doubles must have been a glitch.

Jane considering how many matches Dick and Thanasi played together (not actually that many- despite winning the slam) I'm not sure how they were eligible for the vote. There should have been a minimum number of tournaments or something.

Although if that had been a rule, the ATP wouldn't have been able to keep putting Roger on the ballot the last 2/3 years

Has the Sportsmanship (Stefan Edberg ) Award been announced? Rafa has won that the last few years.

I haven't seen anything. Maybe Sascha will win for coming back out after that injury?

One thing is certain, Djok is never going to win the Edberg award Or Dick .
