Woke up in the middle of the night and caught the final set. Alcaraz looked fully in control & was a break up, only to tense up in a late service game. It went to a tiebreak and Alcaraz lifted and was way too classy.

Sinner was 2 sets up and apparently had match point in the 4th. He'd be kicking himself.

Good guy triumphs over drug cheat.

Nick Kyrgios's rehabilitation is primarily overseen by his long-time physiotherapist, Will Maher. Maher has been an integral part of Kyrgios's team since 2015, accompanying him on the ATP tour and managing his physical health throughout his career.

So obviously agree with this as well. In 10 years time he will be better remembered for his behavior.....more the lack of it....than his tennis outcomes.

Englands great white hope Jack Draper, seed #4, goes down in the 2nd round.

Road cyclists would have the best endurance of any of the major world sports.

Major Tours 21 days....with only a few 1 day breaks.....covering over 4000 km.....with a good chunk of it going up vertical mountain climbs....with an average speed well over 40 km /hour.

And the crash almost daily are unbelievable. Always at least one or two die every year
