Nadal retired in the Quarters & Halep lost in the final^

 

Thrilled to see the Fed Express pass platform #20, still so much juice left in the tank too!

Well done Federer (a 20th grand slam title at the age of 36 :o :cheer: )

 

Well done Wozniacki too.

LEGEND!

The man is an complete genius, well done Federer. The greatest of the modern era. Fantastic he's still winning Grand Slams.

Davis Cup action today and over the weekend and bad news for Brits as Kyle Edmund looks set to miss the tie against Spain, He's not fit for todays match so our singles matches today will be Liam Broady and Cameron Norrie, Spain are without Nadal but have a strong team of Carreno Busta, Bautista Agut and Ramos Vinolas as well as Feliciano Lopez to help their side in Spain on Clay, I dont think the Brits will be progressing

When was the last time that there were two British men in the top 30 of the Tennis Rankings? Must have been at least ten years ago at the height of Henman/Rusedski.

I believe it was then, I dont think Murray/Henman was in top 30 at same time ... Think you be right right Henman/Rusedski 97/98 I think first time, not 100% sure though

Well that was unexpected but very pleasing ... Norrie beats world #23 Bautista Agut from 2 sets down 4/6 3/6 6/3 6/2 6/2 to level the tie 1-1

Norrie was backed at 200-1 to win on the Betfair exchange in play. :o

Cameron Norrie jumped through the rankings last year after turning professional. If he keeps up the momentum, he could be the third British male in the Top 30 by the end of the year.

Another spirited inspired performance from Norrie, but not quite enough against Ramos Vinolas losing in four sets. But really pushed him in the first three sets. Been an breath of fresh air watching him this weekend. That means Spain has beaten Great Britain 3-1 in the Davis Cup first round.

 

 

Norrie going to be good if he can play like that on clay for first time professionally some of his shots was unreal and his stamina and fight was impressive

The GB ladies going well in Fed cup Europe/Africa Play Off Promotion Zone, beat Portugal 3-0 and Estonia 3-0 and 1-0 on Hungary at the moment to go back to play offs where last year they met Romania and that awful incident with coach Nasty

So GB's next Fed Cup opponents will either be Russia, Spain, Canada or Ukraine.

 

Depends who turns up to play but Canada look to be the best option.

GB have drawn Japan in the world group Fed Cup play offs in april - Away.. Japans highest ranked player at the moment Naomi Osaka 51

I enjoy seeing Federer winning, definitely my favourite tennis player! Who is yours?

Cameron Norrie comes through Acapulco qualifiers and has drawn Thiem in Round 1.

 

 

I'm more of a female tennis fan, the Williams, Martina, monica, Jana, Mary Pierce, Henin some of my fave females, mens Federer, Murray, never been fussed about Nadal and Djokovic.

 

Naomi Broady also came through qualies of Indian Wells 125k series, Heather playing in Acapulco this week, felt a bit quiet on Heathers side lately after a good start to season.
