Thank you anonymous,

I will try extra hard at the Australian Open, not just for you but all of my other fans,

Sincerely

Roger

I personally black-banned the Australian Open when they took away paying the ball kids.

I follow tennis but all year round, really don't understand why people only follow it during the most boring month of the year since the players are starting their season so aren't 100%. Oh wait, since it's in our country it means it's good - then forgotten about. Sheep. Give me a break, the rest of the season especially May-June onwards is the best when things really heat up.

European summer i.e. French Open clay, Wimbledon grass, even Masters tournaments such as historic Monte Carlo are the best. Although I am in Perth so our timezone suits it better than the east.

The clay season is a bit predictable. Nadal won, result later

Perthworld, what's your favourite tournament?

Well shit, you're an anonymous poster.

All you pricks are the same to me.

PW, can't go past Gstaad and Queen's for spectacle and Aus Open for overall excitement level

Wimbledon for a major.

Monte Carlo for a smaller tournament purely due to the scenery.

Wimbledon is crap for quality because people don't play grass 11 months of the year. Surely you will look to any of the other three majors if quality is so imperative.

Monte Carlo, yeah that's another. Admit it, you can't beat Queen's Day 1... pristine grass with the brick clubhouse right beside the court. Gorgeous

Aus Open is the most well-run and accommodating-to-players slam on the calender. We have the most impressive tournament on the tour, it's a real feat. Not something that can be dismissed

Can't say I've ever paid detailed attention to Queen's being a minor tournament. I follow tennis but not *that* closely. Re: Wimbledon - probably just a sucker for the history and the club's charm. They should play more grass during the season.

Pat Cash used to love playing on grass.

James Harvey liked grass, clay... pretty much everything.

Perthworld, your tone about January will surely change next year with the World Tour Cup. Players are getting happier with the Aus Open every year, and it's becoming as prestigious as the other slams

World Tour Cup LOL... more garbage team based tournaments yay. ATP only set it up to counter the privately run Laver Cup.

What? I don't mind Davis Cup but don't see the point of all these new team based tournaments especially since it's become political and a way to defend perceived turf.

LOL

What a win by Switzerland in the Hopman cup!

A big day today at the Sydney open. Possibly twin Aussie titles!

Well Vardy just couldn't guts it out as well as her opponent and came in a tough second but De Maneaur did a great job winning his first major, well done to both!

Andy Murray has announced he will retire from tennis soon due to a bad hip. A shame, I wonder if he pushed his body too much over the course of his career?

Injuries are a way of life for professional sports persons 'W. Byrd'.
Murray will still be highly regarded amongst tennis greats.

Murray's career winning percentage would be up there with the all-time greats, I would've thought?

Impressive fightback this by Murray

Quiet please Wendy.
Take your medication.

Kyrigos is a piece of shit.

What happened to Courier this year?

Courier relegated to commentating women's matches now? Ouch.

Who cares Wendy.

Courier AND McEnroe in the commentary booth tonight

So much for McEnroe's big statements about the new generation coming through.

Roger reminded him that one win doesn’t make someone a champion, then Rafa showed the class that the 'older generation’ have and put McEnroe back in his box

Having said that, I do love the commentary that McEnroe and especially Courier bring as both have been great champions and deserve respect (just not get carried away)

Well done Osaka the new #1

Novak will be the GOAT by the time he retires
