Most players/pros use a service style hammer grip on their smash, but Tsitsi uses a forehand grip. He does the same on the serve too.

Should mean there’s less room for error.

Which is weird considering he uses a forehand grip.

There‘s a couple on Prime who I enjoy a lot.

Is this another of those ‘always respectful’ Djoko fans I keep hearing about? ‘Nadull’? Cringe.

Easily between Rafa and Ben. Under normal circumstances I’d say easily Rafa, but his ‘productive’ half part of the year is the first half - which unfortunately is where he’s still going to be getting his match fitness and touch back - so that late hard court swing favours Shelton, I think.

Sounds like he is following the rules. That’s why it’s happening. Shit, why are you guys so salty all the time?

All issues with the timing of it aside, I have no problem with Novak wanting to get through his match first - and that hand the blood tester guy had to follow him around to make sure he wasn’t doing anything nefarious - that’s all fair.

But for Novak to call out that guy individually to the crowd, urgh. That’s not statesmanly at all.

You’d think countries could pick their Olympic line ups tbh.

Sad it’s come to this. I hope Rafa has an amazing season but after being off for so long, I could honestly see him needing most of the year to get back into match shape.

He could probably compete ok, the issue is he’d pay a price which isn’t worth it.

That’s the fittest picture they could find for the past few years

Reckon I could crank that out on demand

I thought the Davis cup was like the one tournament that fans were encouraged to be quite raucous at?

I don’t know if I see the hysteria here. I doubt they take more than a small syringe. Unless they penetrate the muscle with it, this shouldn’t have an effect on the player. They’re literally meant to surprise players aren’t they?

Least Novak didn’t lock himself in his panic room.

I know, he’s such a victim. I didn’t understand it until the millionth time you guys pointed it out.

Do we get any benefits?

If your question contains the word aliexpress the answer should be ‘no’.

I suppose him and the comments here are representative of the ‘always very respectful’ Djoko fans I keep getting told about. What a joke. C’mon Djokofam, I know you’ll be prowling ready to downvote any negative opinions.

Watching Zverev come to the net to hit those backhand volleys after missing the first one. I know that neither him or me really believed he was going to make them.

Innocent until proven guilty is the general rule of thumb. Anything else would set a precedent which could be exploited.

He looks like Paul Bettany playing the albino monk in The DaVinci Code.
