that will be a fail. I watched the oncourt interview. The nice lady said please refrain from that language after the first one. Every question she asked him, he substituted the answer for an F-bomb. He's not getting that $ back.

I agree Keli it was disgraceful from Moutet he wont be getting it back nor should he

And after that stunt he perpetrated on Perricard, I'm glad he's been shown the door. He wanted to stop playing the other night after his serve game so he would have the advantage.

In guess it is. He went all the way up to the doubles final in Halle. Probably he and his team considered that was enough of a prep for Wimbledon. I saw the final, he was fine.

Key Quotes,
Toronto faces less pressure to modernize because Sobeys stadium was built in 2004, rain has been historically been less disruptive there.
Tennis Canada sign a 30 year agreement with the ATP and WTA in 2022 as part of negotiations surrounding the tournaments expansion into a 12 day event, but Tetreault said organizers still need to meet evolving standards set by the professional tour. Tennis Canada seemed pretty honest with themselves during this that upgrades had to be made.

Agreed, playing Wimbledon without a single warm-up match on grass sounds like a recipe for disaster. Especially with how tricky the movement can be on grass early on. Really hoping he recovers in time though, would love to see him play!
Off topic but has anyone had any luck with the Wimbledon resale ballot this week? I’ve been trying to get Court 1 tickets for days to watch Alcaraz but literally nothing is showing up. Feels impossible this year.

I’ve never even tried to get tickets for Wimbledon because people I know have, several times, and they said it was ridiculously difficult. I wish you well with that! But you know that Carlos isn’t playing this year, which is a massive loss for the tournament? Tennis misses him, i believe he would have had a stellar season if he wasn’t injured…

Great News,
BBC to drop commentator Andrew Castle after Wimbledon this year, he should have been dropped years ago, I always mute him when he is commentating, there are much better tennis commentators than Andrew Castle who was more intent on who was in the royal box and what celebrities were in the stands than commentating on the actual match!

Who’s replacing him?

Holger Rune has withdrawn from Wimbledon, I am not surprised, hopefully we will see him in the hard court season after Wimbledon
Rune said on social media today,
" I am getting closer every day and feeling the progress is very satisfying" "So spirits are high".

Stick a fork in him…

Who’s replacing him?

Apparently the BBC are trying to bring in a new team with fresh perspective and analysis,
Genie Bouchard, Jamie Murray, Laura Robson and Andre Agassi

Stick a fork in him…

It will be interesting to see when he does return if he can play at the level he once did, rehab for this type of serious injury is 9 to 12 months at least

That level was years ago and his spite was very impressive. He joined Patrick and magically disappeared..
