Nick Kyrgios has a good chance of becoming number 1 in a few years - and Kyle Edmund too ??? !
Zverev as well I think.
But I can't remember any of the other players who are playing today. confused

^  When we think of "the special relationship" we do think of Reagan and Thatcher.  But Reagan (imo) was a great President and I've listened to some of his inspiring speeches on YouTube.
Yes Mrs May definitely side-stepped those questions in Turkey and this side-stepping isn't approved of here in the UK.  Maybe she can think of something useful to say next week.
I think I've seen somewhere that Mrs May and Donald were holding hands - this is very definitely a sign of a very very special relationship !?

Getting a bit sick of the Federer  gushing. "Magical story," "like a movie" etc etc. Being made to sound like some journeyman who has never won anything, suddenly making the final  from nowhere at the end of his career after all the years of trying. Bit like the  Hollywood Wimbledon movie I suppose. In fact, it almost sounds as if it was Zverev or Istomin who had made the final. Has he genuinely played a match in this tournament that noone thought he would win? I didn't see anyone in his draw challenging him apart from Wawrinka making it tough but still would have been shocked if he'd lost. Was surprised Nishikori got a couple of sets off him too. Hope Nadal stuffs him.

It really is like that Wimbledon movie, you're right!  I actually think it really will become a movie in time - probably called "Roger and Rafa - their very last and final fight) Smile
I really do wish that "the other players" will remember that they actually do know how to play tennis - and do that at the FO.
Anyway I do hope for Rafa today Smile

These orders are like some giant monster devouring the innocent and the guilty with no preference.
And to think I had hoped it was all pre-election rhetoric. Jesus wept.

I think we (I mean those of us in the UK) thought that when Donald said these things in his campaign) that he didn't actually mean everything to be taken literally. But he did say a lot about banning people from entering the USA).  I do feel sorry for those affected, but what's the use in feeling sorry?  Maybe Theresa May will find something to say (in a constructive manner) when we see her again?  Maybe that Judge (I don't know who she is - will make things better for the people who are trying to get into the USA?  I don't really know.
I still do like Donald - but I thought Congress had some sort of influence on him I thought Congress would make sense of some of Donald's "signing of executive papers"?
