Good decision considering 6 Kings Slam is just a few weeks away.

Expected, wished Dull would just retire, I can see this 'farewell tour' going on until 2026, Dull just loves playing these mind games with his naive fans, giving them hope and then taking it all away at the last minute.
However if Dull doesn't play another match ever again - big thank you to Djokovic for handing him his final L (wished Djoker served him with 2 bakery products instead of just 1 at the Olympics but we can't always have everything) and denying him the slam record :hatoff:

Amazing to think that Nole being banned from 2 slams, DQ’d from another & almost guaranteed title for the unplayed 2020 Wimby yet still ultimately denied his arch nemesis from ending w/ slam record.

What a travesty would have been not to accomplish this feat & us having to hear that the Mallorcan Claybot from NadCult the undisputed GOAT :facepalm:

2022 & 2023 were really good. Love seeing Shelton play so well. Plus, the patented look of LC is really cool & the changeover conversations are fun to listen to.

At this point i don't know if Rafa is going to retire tomorrow, in 2 months or after RG 2025. He remains unpredictable.

Not sure what he wants to achieve. If he wants to prolong his career until next season then coming back to a very high level will be even more challenging task than this year.

He really needs to be careful now to not make this an everlasting "farewell tour" with bad losses, in between a hopeful result, then a withdrawal, then an announcement he will play, and so on..'
He will upset more and more people (aka tickhetholders, event organizers..) and get ridiculed by more and more people (aka internet forum dudes who like to ridicule everyone anyway, plus tennis fans who dont want to see self-destruction).

And now Dimitrov will replace him?? Who has just retired his US open match?
What are they all doing??

Having Kokkinakis and Tabilo on Team World is such a joke... they are good players, but nowhere near the best what "World" (all countries outside of Europe) could offer. Either the field has become beyond my knowledge a joke (not a chance as I am aware of the changes and fluctuation of level) or the organizers have done another bad job. Even at choosing players

Now if we can only get the laver cup out of the calendar.
