    Its such a shame that Novak is not able to play those tournaments, he is a pleasure to watch, he bring s up the level of the other players and the tournaments he enters, fans are being robbed of seeing him play when his career will be winding down. Its 2023 fgs!! Its ridiculous. Looking forward to his return.

      10 consecutive losses, 20 consecutive sets lost.

    I really feel Casper Ruud should be less of a fan boy over Rafael Nadal. That's really not helpful for him facing Rafa on the court. Maybe learn to take a page from Alcaraz and have some belief on yourself instead of going over and over about how good Rafa is like you couldn't visualize yourself ever overcoming him as an opponent.
