US Open

I was shocked - but perhaps not surprised - when Novak smashed his racquet when what he was really doing was beating himself up. He - and the press - had put such a weight of expectation on his shoulders that he couldn't cope. What's so great about winning all majors in the same calendar year? He has won them all within 12 months - just not in one year!

Straight sets too! Unsurprisingly not much coverage in our media, if Medvedev had lived in Birmingham we would have been awash with news clips etc.

Brilliant win. Astonishing service by Medvedev.

I am glad too, and pleased for Medvedev. It’s good to see future champions emerging as the Men’s Tennis in particular has been dominated by the elite few for such a long time.
Well done Danill ! ? ? ?
