Nothing like a bit of veiled racism.

I wonder if there had been loud Italian fans, whether he would have yelled back, Sinner is a druggie, as some "banter" ...... I don't think so .... he is a f**kwit .... Paul McNamee's response in there is spot on

Funny how no one wants to say squat about sinner, bloke tested positive twice last year at two different events and his excuse was as flimsy as Bea Arthur coached defence. The drone crowds are happy to cheer the bloke, i just don't get it.

Does anyone really give a f**k about tennis anymore?

True, i used to watch it a bit especially the Aussie open but i haven't watched a min of it this year. A lot of the players are boring as batshit and the style of play is also not as good to watch as years gone by. But i'm amazed the media have let Sinner absolutely skate by he's the current world number 1 he tested positive twice but it's been crickets.

I think they should find some efficiencies and remove one of the Ns in its name.

I used to watch tennis all the time when there was no cricket on, no real interest in it anymore, plus I don't mind women grunting, but not on the tennis court

I thought I just got old. And as I aged I stopped following as many sports tennis being one of them. I used to know every player in the top 10-20. Now I only know a handful of the older players and a few Aussies.
Maybe Tennis is dyeing off with fans? We need more research

I know what you mean. Nothing like the sound of a constipated women trying to push one out.

No. Honestly when I was in the car today and they said that the reigning champ sinner was through, I thought never heard of the merkin.

BTW what happened to Djokovic? He claims we poisoned him with mercury in his food or something? Is he confusing with something he read in a Le Carré novel ? Or maybe he ate one of those Melbourne Park hot dogs.

Ash Barty retiring when he she did was a massive blow for tennis in this country.

Australia loves winners

She is still only 28 years of age and could have a real dominant decade if she decided to pursue a decade long career.

She won 3 grand slams before she reached probably her peak.

In the men we haven't produced anyone that's good enough to truly challenge the greats since Hewitt.

Kyrigos maybe box office but the antics get tiring when he continually wins nothing and is nearly done. Wasted talent.

De Mineaur fights hard but I can't see him winning a grand slam.

If he can get to a semi final this week though would be his best result in a grand slam. I reckon that's probably his ceiling.
