I haven't been following the tournament, but I had a look at the results yesterday. I've only seen Shapovalov play once, when he was (unfortunately, but fairly?) disqualified in that Davis Cup match against Kyle Edmund. The commentators talked him up, but obviously things didn't go his way. He must be the real deal,…

It might be a good opportunity for Zverev if, say, Djokovic and Murray aren't there…

I daren't look at Twitter anymore.

WHAT HAPPENED NOW?!?!?!

*Big Five (I should include Stan too)

Also, when the Big Four retire in a few years… etc, etc.

I was half-joking, but I think Zverev deserves a lot of credit for his consistency (and his brilliant tennis!). There appear to be parallels with Svitolina, no?

Oh, Britta's in this?

I actually can't think of a "perfect" film (or album or book, etc). All my favourite things are flawed in some way. But I might change my mind if/when I watch Arsenic and Old Lace.

Where are the posts about Purple Rain?

That's the one. I actually like him as a commentator. He's worth 198 Chris Suttons!

After the Community Shield, I had to listen to Mark Lawrenson and Chris Sutton. Well, I didn't have to listen to them. But if only it could have been, say, Graeme Le Saux and Lee Dixon, who actually put some thought into what they say.
