While the off-season is in full swing, debates are multiplying in the tennis world.
Lleyton Hewitt, a guest on the podcast The Tennis, did not escape the exercise and spoke about the evolution of the game.

"Some players sometimes use it as a tactic"

The former world No. 1 shared that he would like to see an adjustment to the rule regarding medical timeouts:

"On the court, everything is a matter of will, and some players sometimes use them as a real tactic: when they are in trouble, just before the opponent's serve, before an important game, or at the end of the fifth set. I think we should try to put an end to that."

Just give them a lie detector test. If they're lying, put them in a suicide pod. Problem solved. Gives the lower ranked players a chance to move up and would at least put a few spectators in the stands, most tournaments are empty, which shows most view tennis as boring.
They keep crying this dump is overpopulated. Let the tennis players weed themself out. Then they'll be ******** about that.
It's too hot. We don't get paid enough millions. The schedule is to long.
We can't use drugs or fix matches. Now they're putting us in suicide pods for lying. Maybe someone should start questioning the types of individuals allowed to play professional sports.
It's obvious they cant be trusted.
Just park a Kevorkian Mobile at every slam since there are so many players. It's like every tournament is a gathering of liars and thieves.
Imagine having to interview tennis professionals to baby sit your kids.
You'll Have as much luck at a prison.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
