Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 23, 2017 Subscriber Posted June 23, 2017 They've just mentioned on the Queens commentary that Paolo Maldini (yes, that Paolo Maldini) is making his professional tennis debut at the age of 49 this weekend, playing doubles at a Challenger event in Milan. Will have to keep track of that one ! Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 24, 2017 Subscriber Posted June 24, 2017 Cocaine and as if he had to clarify it was for reasons not related to tennis. Always liked Evans but what a daft cunt. Quote
Fairy In Boots Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 It's the culture of the city I'm afraid, pretty much every decent academy product of Birmingham football clubs only do well once they get out of Brum. Frankie Gavin all the talent in the world just parties too much, Macklin was the same I could pretty much name any boxer in the last 20 years. Dan Evans again talented but also it's a big city with next to no media attention, Coke is everywhere women are quick to jump on a meal ticket. Moeen Ali was a write off till 24 ish because he was off out partying, Woakes was another now he's settled down into a stable relationship he's kicked on. Some of the kids here are frighteningly talented but by 18 most are too busy out and about pissing talent down the drain. My mate was a talented swimmer competing in nationals aged 11-12 come 15 weed n Coke not been in a pool unless pissed on holiday in 15-16 years. It's still very much the culture here to get mortal when you can. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 28, 2017 Administrator Posted June 28, 2017 Maldini lost on his debut https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40424320 Quote AC Milan and Italy great Paolo Maldini's professional tennis debut ended in defeat at the Aspria Tennis Cup in Milan. Maldini and doubles partner Stefano Landonio lost 6-1 6-1 to Poland's Tomasz Bednarek and Dutchman David Pel. The 49-year-old earned a place at the tournament with Landonio, who is also his coach, by winning a qualifier. The Milan event is part of the Challenger Tour, one tier below the top-level ATP World Tour. Landonio, 46, was once ranked 975th in the world, and has coached Maldini since he retired from football. Maldini, capped 126 times by Italy, made his AC Milan debut in 1985, and played his final Serie A match for them in May 2009, a month before his 41st birthday. A defender, he won seven Serie A titles with Milan, as well as the Champions League - or the European Cup, as it previously was - five times. Quote

Moderator Tommy Posted November 6, 2017 Moderator Posted November 6, 2017 Alexander Zverev is now the World's No.3! 1 Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 6, 2017 Subscriber Posted November 6, 2017 Zverev looks like he's actually "the one" after the endless false dawns of Dimitrov, Raonic, Kyrgios, Nishikori, Thiem etc. About time. Wouldn't be surprised if Murray and or Djokovic turned back up and swept up a bunch of the big titles again next year though. The tour has become a joke. An ageing Federer and Nadal still easily dominating players in their prime. They take a week off and you get Sock and Krajinovic competing in a Masters final. Shambolic. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted November 6, 2017 Administrator Posted November 6, 2017 wonder if they get recognised though 1 Quote
Danny Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Chung Hyeon really taking this match to Djokovic, so talented. Quote
Danny Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Kyle Edmund is the 6th Britishman to get to an Australian Open semi final, it was a deserved win but definitely sloppy. Gave away a lot of points which could have led to a more comprehensive win but only 23, hopefully a bright future ahead for British tennis outside of Murray. Quote

Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Men's Final between Cilic and Federer is about to start in a few minutes. Not as intriguing that last year's final, but happy to see Fed in yet another Final and going for number 20. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Fed breaks on the first game. Having watch Cilic many times, this could be a killer already. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Cilic already changing his racquet and Fed putting on a clinic early. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Cilic broke again - Fed is up 3-0 in the first. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Well that first set didn't last long. Fed doing Fed things. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Cilic wins the second set, and Fed loses his first set of the tournament. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Big break for Fed, on his way to taking this 3rd set. Quote
Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Didn't see this coming. Fed is looking his age now, he's movement looks slower, and his service game has dipped in this game. Quote

Eco Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like Fed has locked this up. Currently leading 3-0 in the 5th set. Quote
