Bit of a shame but expected that Nadal would pull out of Queen's.

 

 

News on the presenting team for BBC's coverage of Wimbledon:

Who do you think is the favourite for Wimbledon on the women's side? Even for the WTA, it seems extremely open this year. Pliskova is the current bookies favourite, followed by Kvitova, but I can't make a concrete prediction.

Konta is through to the Nottingham Open final.

Donna Vekic beat Johanna Konta in three sets to win the Nottingham Open.

Queens got interesting ... Murray out, Wawrinka out, kyrgios out, Raonic out .... Could be Dmitrov year again or Cilic

British number three Dan Evans has admitted he tested positive for cocaine back in April in a drugs test.

 

He had ranked 772nd in the world in April 2015 and gone up to 41 within a space of less than 2 years.

 

You stupid man, Dan. He's let himself down easily.

Dan is an idiot always has been so much talent and wastes it at every chance, that will likely be his carrier over.

 

In other news glad Feliciano Lopez won Queens beating Cilic and nice to see Kvitova winning Birmingham wouldnt rule her out of Wimbledon

Saw just the tiebreak with Lopez v Cilic. I'm glad that he won it Lopez. It was an thrilling tiebreak.

Wonder who'll win Wimbledon this year. I hope Murray gives it a good shot again, but not sure I can see it. He's looked a bit lost recently.

 

 

Jack Sock, a man whose name also happens to be an activity practised by teenage boys.

Both him & Novak are absolutely nowhere so it makes things very interesting. Wouldn't completely rule out another Rafa vs. Roger classic finale!

 

Elsewhere I think it's time Raonic stepped up to the mark, seems most likely to be the newest name to become a male Grand Slam winner.

Novak is not playing for rest of 2017 season.

He has confirmed Agassi will continue as coach in 2018.

Wants to play for another five years.

Well Fed took half a season off then came back & won 2 Slams so it could prove a wise decision.

 

In fact, with Djok out of the picture, Murray/Nadal both on the wane atm & no new blood coming through Fed could get a few more Slams yet :cheer:

I'll make Federer favourite for the US Open for sure. I'll be surprised if Murray/Nadal won it. For a outside bet, probably Cilic possibly.

Two month ban for Errani following failing a drugs test.
