Honestly, he's one of the few blokes who I think seeing cry gets to me, so waking up to numerous clips of him in tears was a rotten start to my day.
But the great thing has been seeing clips all day of all the amazing things he's done, and remembering where I was when they happened. That US Open win where he FINALLY won it at gone 1am in the morning UK time, that fucking final where he sobbed afterwards, then the Olympics, my God the Olympics and Henman's little YIPEEEEE when he won it.
That Davis Cup win is underrated too, not only to win it in the way he did with the ridiculous lob, but to get us there in the first place.
Up there with Hoy and Redgrave as Britain's greatest ever sportsman.

Apart from his language, I can understand that rage tbf.
Had a hell of a lot of stick from a podcast with Rothenberg where he was brutally honest about what he thinks of Nadal and Novak.

Listened to it just now and it was really refreshing tbh. The only thing that rubbed me up the wrong was that he didn’t seem sorry about the whole Wawrinka and Vekic epsiode, which was a shitty thing to do whichever way you slice it.

Listening to it now. When he says about Murray living with the top three for a few years before his body breaks down, he alludes to something off screen, and a sarcastic "I wonder why that is", and then it either jumps or Rothenberg ushers him in.
Either he was shadowing stabbing his veins or they've edited out any drugs references to prevent any libel claims.

Absolute farce - Thiem, the fourth seed, was kicked out of the press room mid interview because Serena refused to wait to complete her media duties.

Don’t know whether either should get credit for this or both just being equally terrible, but from 5-0 15-40 up in the first set Barty contrived to lose it 6-7, then the very next set Anisimova was 3-0 up (winning every game to love), then loses 6 straight to lose 3-6. Absolutely crazy match.

Gauff vs Venus has been good so far. Gauff has played some excellent tennis.

Dimitrov isn’t that surprising any more unfortunately.
Osaka out in the Ladies as well.

Quality of Djokovic/Goffin is excellent so far. Hope it goes to 5.

He’ll get pumped in the final but I do love me some vintage Roger.
