I think it's a more honest option.

Yes it was on at stupid o'clock in the morning, but this was one of the best tennis matches I've seen this year. I love Venus, but Kasatkina is such a star in the making. Facing another 20 year old in Osaka is the final. Exciting times ahead for women's tennis.

Any news of Laura Robson? Please tell me she is considering a career in porn. I'd love to see her in a little tennis skirt getting ass-fucked by a huge black cock.

She is injured again. If you are that obsessed by her then you can see her regularly (when not injured) playing on the ITF circuit. She has won several doubles titles this year at this lower level.

Sadly for you I am afraid you are not her type.

Federer plays del potro in the final of Indian Wells. Should be a great game. Del Porto is back in the top 10. The young Croatian coric made the semis along with top player raonic. Djokovic lost in the first round

He had a bye, a walkover, a qualifier, a 3 set grind against Querrey and was dismantled by Del Po. What of significance has he won, given he is 27 and there is a pack of younger next gen stars all now ranked above him.

Yes but barring all of that, you must admit lead-o makes a strong point and yet again shows he sure does know his tennis!

Oh that's ok, she's a bloody Aussie anyway.

Maybe Carc and I can attend as the TF spokesmen?: https://nnfestival.org.uk/whats-on/knowing-the-score/

Del Po wins in Indian Wells. 3 set thriller. Fed served for the title, but choked. Del Po stormed the final tie break.

Federer was unusually tetchy out there. Not surprised he lost given the struggle he had yesterday.

Pleased for Del Potro,if ever a player deserved some good luck he's the man.
