Time for a new thread.
Djokovic v Nadal in the Doha final.
Federer has Raonic in the Brisbane final.
Djokovic gave Nadal a good kicking, 6-1 6-2.
It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.
Djokobot runs all year long.
Raonic took the first set against Fed 6-4.
Three double faults from Raonic in the game gives Fed break point!
Fed with a ballooned backhand. Deuce.
Raonic holds, 2-2.
Poor from Fed.
Raonic breaks and leads 4-3 in the second!
Fed has gone back to Rotterdam 2013 levels.
Raonic wins 6-4 6-4.
Fed. :doh:
They'll be dancing in the snowy sides streets of Saskatoon!
GB came through 3-1 to reach the quarters of the Davis Cup.
Serbia also won 3-2 yesterday, so the two will meet just after Wimbledon, meaning Djok v Muzza.
GB's defence :rose:
Sugarpova failed a drug test at the Australian Open.

:haha:
I still would.
That's one way to avoid having her arse kicked in every slam by Serena.
I'm sure 4th is consoling her.
She's hardly a 'drugs cheat' btw, if her version of events is true she's been on this medication for years to help with some medical condition and they've only just banned it. Yes, she and her team should have spotted it but some of the coverage is overly hysterical.
If her version is true. She's a slick PR operator so the absolute truth will never come out, unless one of her team so the dirty on her in years to come.
I read a book about the Ben Johnson thing the gist of which was "they're all at it".
Not sure if it's as true in other sports.
It's probably in all her sweets tbf.

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?
It's not their fault it isn't best of five at Slams but I think it's unfair for equal pay at those tournaments.

tbh.
If there's more interest in the men's game then it's going to generate more money ergo they should get more money.
The equality argument goes out of the window when you're talking about a profession where the money earned is proportional to the money generated.
Where is there to stand but with common sense?
It's not a wage its prize money. Where do they think the money comes from?
Sponsors and ticket sales are disproportionately in favour of the mens game yet they get a much small % of the revenue. 'Equal pay' would be giving the men more.
You don't pay men and women footballers the same, rugby players don't get the same as footballers etc.
In the entertainment industry its not equal pay for equal work, you get your market value. The men's game is more marketable simple as that.
The Indian Wells tournament director was spot on. As was Djokovic though he was forced to retracted his statements due to the feminazis and regressive left. I guarantee Roger and Rafa feel the same but won't say anything becuase speaking the truth has consequences these days.
If the mens and womens GS were played seperately the mens revenue would hardly change (may even go up tbh) whereas the womens would tank.
Miami Masters is on this weekend and all next week.
Old Man Fed has the flu. :rose:
This after needing knee surgery from running a bath for his kids. :doh:
Equal pay in tennis? Sure, why not. I only pay to go to Wimbledon and it doesn't affect me one little bit if male and female sportsman receive the same money, as there is more than enough to go round. Both sexes take home ridiculous pay for what they do, so as a symbol of equality, then by all means, even it out. Only those with a personal issue or grudge should have any problem with it. The game is awash with money and it shouldn't affect the casual spectator at all.
