  1. James Ward has had a mare of season post Wimbledon. I don't even think I would play him in the Davis Cup, despite his victory over Isner. His confidence is very low. Edmund is at least winning some matches. I wouldn't even think of Dan Evans again just yet. He is winning British challenger tournaments, nothing special.

    He's not done well, but he is always going to go on these sort of runs from time to time as he is a very, very limited player. He manages to find an extra 20% when he has a home crowd behind him, which is too his credit, but the form he's been showing the past month or so is closer to his base level than the guy who dispatched John Isner in Glasgow earlier on in the year.

  2. Straight Outta Compton

    Biopic about N.W.A and it's members that's been generating a lot hype in America. Fun movie with solid acting, especially from Ice Cube's son who portrays his father and is the spitting image of him. A few minor plot holes here and there, and it was pretty fucking tame tbh, considering what they were all about. I really wish they'd have just made it an 18 rated film and shown what their childhoods and growing up in Compton around that time was really like. Would've been a much better movie for it.

    7/10

  3. The man knows how to hit form at the right time, I'll give him that. On that form, he's the best in the world, the best ever and potentially the best there will ever be.

    A true great of the game.

    Settle. Djokovic is still the best in the world by a fair distance.

    Hardly saw any of Federers matches this week due to work(including semi and final) but Djokovic has looked off the pace this week and last week. Probably saving himself for the US Open. Not really surprised Federer has won pretty handily tbh.

    With Federer and Murray currently playing the best tennis they've played in years and Djokovic having a somewhat iffy past two weeks(albeit still reaching two finals) the US Open looks like it's is going to be a cracker. :)

  4. Was a brialliant match last night. Such quality. Some of the stretch volleys Dimitrov was pulling off were unthinkable. He's got to be one of - if not the outright - best athletes in the sport.

    I think right now is as close as Murray has ever been to being as good as Djokovic. He looks genuinely unbeatable at the moment, his will and attitude on the court is outstanding. I really think that if he's playing well in a match, Djokovic is the only guy in the world who can beat him.

  5. Why have Sky decided to show Nadal v Lopez on Sky Sports 2, and Murray - Dimitrov behind the red button? Literally why? This is the sort of thing that drives me up the fucking wall. Can't find a stream for it anywhere now.

    edit: their finally showing it. crisis averted.

  6. The faux outrage from the tennis world about this Kyrgios incident is hilarious.

    There's folk coming out saying it makes them ashamed to be Australian. Azarenka saying it's bad parenting :lol: Get an actual grip.

    I don't recall any such outrage when Murray called Rosol a c**t that no one likes, or when Del Potro told Murray he shagged his mum. This sort of shite happens all the time in tennis/sport, just get bloody on with it already.

  7. Pixies - Trompe le monde. Always thought it was their worst album (although haven't listened to new one) and that may still be the case but it's still very good.

    It's the best IMO.

    Motorway To Roswell, Letter to Memphis and Bird Dreams of The Olympus Mons are all beautiful songs, and in my top 5 Pixies songs.
