Will he get his tennis life back ? I think he should..

Yeah I hope so. I don’t know why they’re deporting him, that seems excessive…

Yeah I hope so. I don’t know why they’re deporting him, that seems excessive…

“A Home Office spokesperson told BBC Sport: "Any foreign national who is convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity."
Becker qualifies for automatic deportation as a foreign national who does not have British citizenship and received a custodial sentence of more than 12 months.”

Sir Andy should have fiero or FF3 present the award to him .

Sir Andy should have fiero or FF3 present the award to him .

I think it was very well deserved award. Since February this year Andy donated his prize money $630,000 to the Humanitarian Ukaraine Relief Fund to help children who are suffering in war times

That’s admirable, to put it mildly. He’s fortunate enough to be in the position to donate that much money, and does, instead of keeping it for himself.

Trust me I agree 100 percent, Sir Andy is very deserving.

Results of SFs at the Abu Dhabi exho

Tsitsipas d Ruud 62 62 to reach the final, 5 UFE in 2 sets, quite impressive

Rublev d Alcaraz 62 61....Rublev will play Tsitsipas in the final. Carlos was very rusty, which is understandable, first match back after his abdominal injury.

Not the best day for the US Open finalists, who will play for 3rd place tomorrow.

What the hell is Alcaraz up to? He’s gone off the boil! He’s coming back from the injury? I know it’s only an exo but he’s leaking water at the mo..

He could be quite tentative because he might be nervous about reinjuring himself which if that is the case sit out and make sure you are fully healed.

Maybe this, but I think we need to go to the usual suspect; "expectations!" Heaven knows I was highly impressed w/ his maturity and skill! He worked over the top players earlier in the season! Getting to #1 and keeping it solidified my belief that he could challenge some records, but the problem may be in him! Could be an early sophomore jinx along w/ breaking down because tennis is grueling these days! Pros can be pampered to death, but each match is a grind unlike in the past!

Well he has had some time off with his ab issue, he was rusty in both his matches
He will play Kooyong in January, another exho
Quite frankly I dont know if that is the way to go before a major , he needs match play, he could play in Adelaide where they are having 2 tournaments or Auckland, he would get a WC for sure.

Carlos didn't have a very difficult draw at the USO. No Tsitispas, No Sascha Zv , No Medvedev, no Djokovic No Rafa. I still feel he may be a bit overrated as El dude and some on this board has made him the NEXT Best but AO 2023 will most definitely show if he is better than I feel. I like his game but I need a larger sample size.

I dont think the USO draw has anything to do with his current form ,regardless who was in or out of the draw, his injury was quite severe, he is just coming back to tennis, he needs match play that is evident, I dont think playing exho's at this stage is the way to go before a major is in his best interests.

No no you are misinterpreting what my intent. It was not his draw but his draw of opponents. He didn't face one of the top players besides Rudd.
