yeah Our Ash played a very discipline, tactical, game.

1 drop shot and a couple of forced lobs aside, she was like a metronome.

her shot selection was incredible.
I read an article the other day which she said she didn’t have any real on court weapons, and her real strength is in her tough and strong she is mentally. That last bit is true, but her slice shot and the way she uses it is a definite weapon, especially on grass.

yeah I reckon her weapon is her shot selection and discipline.

and obviously a steely nerve, which any major winner has.

Tonight's men's final would be worth watching with the Italian underdog Berrettini against that smug Jocks.

Novak should end his career as the GOAT. Hope he wins the grand slam.
Yeh, as an unabashed Nadal fan I think Novak has the best claim on the GOAT status. Fed arguably down to 3rd. I hope he doesn’t get the slam but hard to see him getting beaten.

After being asked who's gonna win the Euro, Jocks generalised and then I saw him whisper to Berrettini with both having a giggle. Must of told him that Italy's got it in the bag.

Not a huge fan of tennis but what Emma Raducanu achieved in winning the US open is extraordinary

Medvedev is up 6-4, 6-4 and 3-0 against Djokovic in the final. Go Danny boy, please, please.

It's depressing when you realise some of these winners, like Raducanu, were born this millennium
