Certainly settled down over the last few months. Wouldn't surprise me if he makes a big run this year.

I think you are still going to see his petulant little spats every now and then which makes for good entertainment. You look at the likes of three of the greats of men's tennis though and they used to use their anger effectively. John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Serena Williams .

I'm hoping he makes it to the second week of the open as he will give plenty of quality tennis mixed in with controversy.

Is this guy finally getting his shit together?


Let's hope so. He ozzes class but also bleeds arrogance


Imo you need some arrogance in tennis. Federer, Djokovic had it they just act a lot more classier.

Interesting to hear about the potential widespread match fixing. Actually surprised there hasn't been more of it, it seems like such an easy target for match fixers given the volume of the games and the fact that you only have to influence one player.

Too much pressure on her at the Aussie Open. Her career is winding down. She still the last person to beat Serena in a Grand Slam Final though.

Hewitt wins in straight sets.

Seeing his son with his homemade sign including some cut out pictures with " Go Dad " written on it was great.
