All it would take is for one person to shout out just as he's taking his service. That person is led out of the court. Then when he goes to serve again, someone else shouts out. Rinse and repeat.

Clay is boring as sin anyway imo. He's either got a medical exemption or not though, and if he does, then it wouldn't look great to turn someone away due to their medical situation...though I guess that's exactly what Macron is trying to do anyway. I hope he gets into both and loses in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the greats only won it once or twice unless it was their preferred surface ? Graf ,Evert . Borg and Nadal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 minute ago, JamesM48 said: There is a lot of truth in that tweet, although in this case the government in question is the VIC government rather than the Feds. The story about Djokovic this morning, to me, is a revenge mission from our Spring St overlords, who have been embarrassed after Djokovic came out and said he had an exemption, after the VIC government said that everyone involved in the tournament from spectators to players would be fully vaccinated. Willing to bet that Djokovic will get the visa stamped and will be on his way soon, if it hasn't happened already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's debatable whether or not he would be as effective on the modern courts. Arguably Rod Laver would have done job. Won 11 grand slams while forced to miss five years out as professional players were banned from competing. Different eras though. People forget tennis existed before modern era but Laver was unreal player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
