I hate Nadal as much as the next person and follow the rules of tennis (always back Fed over Nadal, always back both over Novak) but lets face it all of tennis are dope frauds. I still laugh when Fed revealed, at the time, he had only been tested four times in his entire career.

remember when Serena talked about how unfair it was that she got tested like three times in a year

i remember a lot of cyclists lolling at that

Yea 100% would take Nadal over that prick. What a lovely final we're likely to get. Two massive poo poo heads.

He actually has a court date - not related to that specific incident, I think, but on another incident from December.

This Wimbledon has been a trip - the Russian ban, Covid outbreaks and no testing for anyone, Serena coming back for a second, Venus coming back for doubles at the last second, Iga's streak ending, Ons continuing her streak of just being everyone's best friend, Wimbledon's Russian ban getting dodged by one player at the last second by a country change, Patrick's brainwashing of Simo kicking in just everywhere, and I'm sure there's more stuff that I've forgotten. Netflix was around after Stef had his press where he called Nick a ~bully~ and then a day or two later, the court information came out, so, that was some extra something. Oh - Tim having his breakout grass run in the lead up and having a good run and several Brits having good runs - including Norrie, which everyone has already written off.

I don't know what chaotic ending this is going to have.

I root for Rafa because of ~Spanish family~ and he's had a pretty uncontroversial personal life, but I love him and Fed equally. Was also on the Kyrgios bandwagon until the recent allegations dropped.
