Felix winning both off-court and on-court as he just won the Adelaide tourney defeating Seb Korda in the final 6-3 3-6 6-1. Next up, the Aussie Open.

By the way, keep an eye on Joao Fonseca, this kid is something else.

Man, John McEnroe came around 40 years too soon.

Jannik Sinner wins the Aussie Open over Alex Zverev in straight sets. German tears flowing once again.

Shame Djokovic couldn't have a go of it.

Yeah, fully fit I think he easily defeats Zverev and it would have been a great match versus Sinner in the final.

Um, no you don't - Feel bad for the two women (and who knows if there are more) that he has physically abused, don't feel bad for this asswipe.

Was so happy that Keys beat that screeching fucking moose Sabalenka. I can’t stand looking at her or hearing her.

Not even six weeks into 2025 and Felix has won two tournaments and Shapo just won the 500 event in Dallas. We're a tennis nation now

2nd round opponent Jesse Levine, from Nepean Ontario (though playing as an American)
I doubt two Cdn's have ever met past the first round in an open before.


asterisks on both sides though:
Levine born in Canada, plays as an American.
Raonic plays as a Canadian, but was born in Yugoslavia

Milos Raonic's victory at the 2011 SAP Open in San Jose, California, was a major milestone in his career, especially following his impressive performance at the Australian Open. At just 20 years old, Raonic defeated the American player, Fernando Verdasco, in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6. This win was significant as it marked his first ATP title, and it helped cement his reputation as a rising star in the world of tennis.

As for the comment about his opponent not being Jerry Seinfeld — it’s a humorous way to highlight that Raonic’s opponent was a legitimate tennis pro, not a comedian!

Joao Fonseca at the ripe old age of 18 years old has won his first ATP tourney claiming the Argentina Open yesterday. This young man from Brazil could become a member of the new Big 3 joining Sinner and Alcaraz, he is that good.
