How on earth does a multiple tennis major winner go bankrupt? Quite some achievement that on Boris's part.

Dan Evans has failed a drugs test. Cocaine.

Fucking idiot.

No excuse. If you want to do this sort of stuff just wait until you retire, it's a short enough career anyway.

This really was the last chance for Evans, you will never see him inside the top 100 again after the ban.

Most of Dan Evans' problems stem from the fact that he is a crazy chav with not much between the ears. Gets into quite a bit of trouble off the court, has gone through spells of not being very committed etc.

From Jan 2016. Sad. I had since alluded to the fact that being at close quarters with Murray during Davis Cup runs had rubbed off on him and there had been such a marked improvement in attitude. Down to earth guy, fun to be out on the lash with ( which I have been ), but it just seems like he cant truly shed his recreational activities and commit fully to the sport which you have to do in tennis. A tennis career isn't even that long either, if he had just managed to get to his early to mid 30s, he could have then retired and had as much fun as he wanted. Leon and the whole GB support staff will be raging/gutted after all the hard work they put into him

And at Wimbledon...

Kyrgios retires injured. Good news for Murray - though he won't be pleased by the circumstances. They were due to meet in the 4th round.

On the other hand, Murray has yet to play ...

I put a £5 each way bet on Kyrgios literally just before his match started.


Not happy.

Also got money on (Alex) Zverev and Raonic. So I'll expect them both to let me down too. :ROFLMAO:

Zverev had his bottom smacked by Federer in Halle and I think it's at least a year early for him, but he'll win it one day I think.

Raonic; could be if he hits form.

Rafa's looking a bit tasty at the moment. Something tells me he's been practicing!

Karlovic and Bedene look like they fancy trying to break Isner and Mahut's record.

Katie Boulter looks like one to watch (if you get what I'm saying)

Medvedev throwing coins at the umpires chair after his second round defeat. :ROFLMAO:


Utterly disrespectful I know, but I did giggle. More in disbelief than anything else...
