I am not against all US players Grin by any means- I never liked Sampras (and his flobby tongue), ,and Jim was boring, but I loved Andre Agassi.
I like Ben Shelton, and Seb Korda, Taylor Fritz, Big Foe.

But I never liked Isner. TP reminds me of Isner.

I loved Mac and I still do despite his faults Grin
loved Agassi as well
but Sampras was worse than TP by miles

Raahh · 03/06/2025 20:52

Plus (and I know I mention this a lot)

I still don't get how TP was voted the best looking player .

I mean...

No.

I don’t get it either Grin

I saw Sampras 'live' a few times- he really was dull.

There are big servers that have more to their game, and then there is Pete Sampras. Never liked watching him.

I liked Mac too. His commentating...is hit and miss Grin

It is baffling in a world where we have Matteo Berretini.

Raahh · 03/06/2025 20:57

Vamos! Carlos- don't you dare let him in.

Quite- and Grigor.

Honestly, it was a bonkers top 10.

Vamos Carlos!

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:07

VAMOS Carlos!

Carlos looks fresh as a daisy!

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:12

Walk in the park for Carlitos.

”I had to do my work” Grin

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:13

I adore Lorenzo- but don't think he will beat Carlos.

JaneJeffer · 03/06/2025 21:14

You never know!

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:15

Ooh- Lorenzo in the studio.

The Windy is bothering his hair .

Part of me would love Lore to win. (Carlos has won a few things already).

Grew up in a basement. I don’t think so Mats!

ChessieFL · 03/06/2025 21:17

Well done Carlos!

JaneJeffer · 03/06/2025 21:18

Even if he beats Carlos the remaining half of the draw is killer

Lovely Lorenzo in the studio now

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:20

He is so lovely.

He’s not real Grin

Raahh · 03/06/2025 21:23

JaneJeffer · 03/06/2025 21:21

Grin

I have to remind myself that he is pretty much the same age my Ds.

Well done Carlos, that is the sort of work we can all get behind, even if the crowd is grumpy about their early night. Tommy can go home to his truck and his scary praying mantis girlfriend.

I decided to fork out for the proper TNT coverage via Discovery+ and I’m disappointed that for £30 I’m expected to suffer ads at every changeover and they don’t even show the set stats. And annoying American commentators who just bang on and on about the American player and barely mention the guy who’s busy handing him his ass on a platter. Sorry, rant over.
