Best writer in tennis. Period. Lie, Taylor, Lie. He's a head case who doesn't know tennis is a head game. But perhaps he's playing the ultimate double cross and isn't beat at all, only trying to lure his opponents into thinking he's down for the count? Nah. P.S. Please FedEX me that prawn dish pronto.

Delightful reading you who seem to effortlessly blend joy and sarcasm, and are appreciative without being patronizing.

As entertaining as always Andrea.

Chasing the sun, watching tennis. What could be better?

Whose symmetrical features do you like the best Andrea, Casper Ruud or Stefano Tsitsipas?

A tennis playing lawyer goes to Australia to watch the Open, and while he's there, he goes to the beach for a swim. Walking on to the beach, he sees the red flags and the signs of Shark Sighted, Warning! He ignores it all, goes for a swim, and on leaving the water, a lifeguard says to him, "Are you nuts? There are visible shark fins just a few meters into the water!" The lawyer shrugs, and says, "Nope. Professional courtesy."
