PB1994 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, GordonS said: Going by his interviews that's definitely how he feels now. I think he's worked so ridiculously hard over the past 4 years that it's all just a relief to be competitive at all. He lost heavily to the world 12 and 9, but apart from a wobble he hammered the world number 29. I think he'll enjoy winning a match or two at tournaments and maybe he'll take a scalp at some point. But I wonder how long that would be enough for him. It must be so frustrating not being able to do what he could before. Yeah, that’s a good point. I think you can see that already. He was getting very frustrated/angry when he played shots that he used to be able to pull off but can’t anymore. Maybe it’s down to not playing a lot and some of it will come back to him or it could be that he just can’t do it anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his post-match comments in The Grauniad suggest, to me anyway, if he can't play his way back into being a contender again then he'll be looking to wind down and retire.

welshbairn Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I know he's richer than Croesus, but keeping that entourage on the payroll with next to no prize money coming in must seem a bit silly after a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe she's only 18, the way she is playing. Doesn't seem phased. Then again Elena Baltacha (rip) did the same at the same age and didn't kick on.
