Genie should have fired back with 'Don't worry, your soccer team will also be leaving France early later this month"

Andy vs. Joker in the French Open men's final. It's the one grand slam title missing from Novak's trophy case.

I give Andy no chance. Congrats, Novak!

Novak Djokovic is just the 3rd man in history to win four straight majors joining Don Budge & Rod Laver

Not only does Joker currently hold all four, but I might give him better odds of completing the calendar slam (Wimbledon and US Open remaining) than not.

Novak's awesome for sure. Also Serena lost, could her reign as best woman's tennis player be over?

Wow, that's an unexpected harsh sentence (I was thinking one year max). Good on tennis for sending a strong message.
I find it interesting that they seem to have concluded her violation was not intentional, but still handed down such a harsh penalty.

I'm thinking it doesn't stick no appeal.

I think you could be right - One thing's for sure, I certainly don't miss the on-court shrieking.

I was thinking the same thing, surprised how harsh considering circumstances.

But alas, the rules are clear, a lot's at stake and she and her people dropped the ball. Impressed with the strength of the punishment.
