I really like Nick as well. He keeps things fresh and informative plus has a laugh.

Sounds like in his life he went though some very very dark times 😔
Andy Murray has always been someone Nick has said help him though things. Hopefully Nick is now in a better/happier state of mind.
 
Nick makes my ADHD radar go off big time (like recognises like) - he needs the conflict for a dopamine hit. He seems to want to be better which is something

he was in the commentary box with Castle last week but think it’s probably the last time 😂😂

Fritz is falling apart

He seems to have finally grown up. I’d also say his on court persona is a bit of an act.

He’s being with his girlfriend quite a while now so maybe she’s mellowed him?

Yes him and Andy had a good friendship but then in lockdown they went live together on Instagram and Nick was swearing and being really immature and I noticed after that their friendship cooled a bit. He does seem to have a lot of respect for Andy though.

And no matter who wins this quarterfinal, you can imagine who the crowd will be on side for.

they’re also going to find some way, any way, to get an ooooooooooo into the person’s name. like “tayloooooooooor” or “mmooooooosetti”.

novak has done the worst thing you can ever do with a british crowd: let them know that something gets under your skin 🤣

I think I’ve said this before but I think it’s a real shame when you see all the ups and downs in a five set match that the women don’t play five sets. Men can play rubbish for an hour and still come back and win.

It makes it almost a different game. Women's tennis is struggling financially while the men's is very profitable. There are lots of issues but playing for 5 sets would help.

Tickets to the men's final are over three times higher in the free market with the Debenture tickets on sale:

I imagine it would require so much in the changing of scheduling and increasing their fitness it probably wouldn’t happen but as a raging feminist it does pain me to say I don’t watch the women’s as much as the men’s cos often it’s over before it’s even started.

i know someone mentioned this a few pages back but i love the vaguely distressed way that taylor fritz plays tennis. almost like he’s very reluctantly good at it and wishes he was doing something else.

they said his parents got him playing at seven and he didn’t like it but they persuaded him to try again - they are a big tennis family aren’t they?

Tracey Austin is there
