    Playing his last ever "professional" games literally 30 meters away from my work's front doors. I'll hopefully bump into him and buy him a beer.

    Been a fan since the beginning. My father was a Sampras fan so I watched Federer win his first grand slam at Wimbledon back in 2003 and was a fan ever since. I was lucky enough to watch him play live in 2017 in Prague when he played doubles for the first time with Nadal and also the decisive game against Kyrgios which was insane to watch.

    What a Legend and as big of a fan I am of this sport, don't think I will follow it anymore after Nole and Rafa retire also.

    a persona that mentally instable and weak like osaka shouldn't be allowed to have kids

    Lets see should be an interesting tournament, saw the game between Murray and Berrettini, what a battle.

    Steroids, usually in the form of testosterone, are partly responsible for body development, especially among adolescents. They have androgenic effects associated with changes in primary and secondary sexual traits, such as changes in the voice, body hair growth ,I advice you buy anavar , muscular development, and bone growth. Steroids, when released into cells, activate certain genes responsible for making and using protein

    @aleeex1923 here we go with the French Open

    -rafa isn't playing in this tournament and he said he'll probably retire after the 2024 season.

    - no nick kyrgios because some type of robbery injury he sustained.

    -on the women's side Iga is looking to collect some more majors...

    Yeah as much as I love this sport is getting harder and herder to still watch games after Federer and Nadal retired. I did watch Wawrinka's games yesterday. Pretty solid.

    I think Djokovic has this in the bag :D

    i'll miss the big 3 when they're all gone but i still find players like iga swaitek, carlos alcaraz and coco gauff entertaining.

    medvedev who is ranked 2 lost to some dude who is ranked 172 :emoji_open_mouth:

    i mean i know tennis is unpredictable but THAT'S CRAZY!!!

    i'm cheering for tiafoe. i know him winning this tournament is a long shot, but i'd like to see him win one.

    had some interesting developments in the last few days. casper ruud got upset by broady. tsisitipas and andy murray had a 5 set thriller

    i'm watching alcraz vs. jarry right now

    Yeah I saw the game, he played pretty great gl to him against Medvedev, at this point we're just watching some other players battling their heart out to finish 2nd lmao

    eubanks had a nice run. even though he lost to medvedev, it went all 5 sets--it was a very competitive match, and he gave medvedev all he could handle.

    i was surprised medvedev lost so easily to alcraz. i figured alcaraz would win but never thought he'd do it in straight sets. so now we have djokovic vs alcaraz in the final which is probably what most people were hoping for. should be pretty good.

    on the women's side you've got jabuer vs vondrousova. one of them will win their first major--that'll be exciting.

    @aleeex1923 i watched the entire match between djokovic and alcaraz. i'm happy for carlos--especially after how badly he lost to djokovic at the french open. carlos really redeemed himself today.

    on the women's side i felt bad for jabuer. she's been so close to finally capturing a major in recent years, but it just wasn't her day i guess. i do think she'll eventually break through and win one

    Alcaraz looks dangerous and by a quick look at this opponents, seems like there is no one to compete with him so I'll think we will hear his name every other GS from now on. Mind you this was his 3rd or 4th tournament on grass ever, in his professional career and he won one of those 2-3 weeks ago and now this one, its insane.

    Yeah Jabuer really chocked I don't know whats up with her menatally, she literally beat in this tournament in the 1/4 and semis, the 2 opponents she lost grand slam finals against so it is something up with her winning that last game, too bad but happy for the Czech player, their fans suffered a lot and were so close to a gs win and I feel like they finally deserved this one.
