Murray still hopes to play Wimbledon:

Murray still hopes to play Wimbledon: "I'm feeling better".

Andy Murray has been at the center of quite a soap opera for several days. After missing the Queen's and undergoing rapid surgery for a cyst on his back, the Briton seemed to be heading straight for a withdrawal from Wimbledon and perhaps even the Olympic Games, the last two objectives of his career.

But things seem to be changing. Back in training on Wednesday, the former world number 1 is still hoping to defy the medical prognosis and take part in both singles and doubles: "I'm feeling better. 72 to 96 more hours would make a huge difference. It's complicated, and it's even more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon once again.

I want to have the opportunity to play this tournament and I know that some people might look at that and say that pulling out of a tournament at the last minute isn't the right thing to do, even though it happens every week on the tour.

And I've earned this chance. Right now, I'd say it's probably more likely that I won't be able to play singles at the moment."

Berrettini is 5% of the old Berrettini from a few years ago. Anyone saying that Sinner got a hard draw is wrong. Berrettini may not even play against Sinner

Leylah Fernandez was really ungracious at the US Open final with Emma Raducanu, when Emma cut her leg. It hasn’t been forgotten!!

I agree, the fact that he pulled of a five setter shows what level he had at the time, especially considering that Rafa didn't play bad. I don't think that Grigor choked in that match. The match was a
