In conclusion, Kyrgios is a land of contrasts.

Actual content edit:
The match between Nadal and Schwartzman was great, Schwartzman definitely won plenty of fans.

I think someone told him to pull his head in and he actually listened for once.
Could be wrong and we're about to see a meltdown spree, but I hope I'm right.

He's made inroads into that hate in 2018 by:
a) winning a tournament in Australia
b) not being as much of a colossal tool

time will tell if he can hold up on both accounts.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Jelena Dokic has written a book. It won't be a fun read.

quote:

Dokic recounts her journey in exhaustive detail in “Unbreakable,” a book written with Jessica Halloran, an Australian journalist, and set to be released in paperback in the United States on Feb. 1. It’s a chilling account of the relentless physical, verbal and emotional abuse Dokic says she suffered from her father as she ascended the ranks of junior and professional tennis, peaking at No. 4 in the WTA rankings in 2002.

First published by Penguin Random House Australia in November, the book opens with the end of Dokic’s deepest Grand Slam run, to the Wimbledon semifinals in 2000 when she was just 17. She writes that her father, Damir Dokic, banished her from returning to the family’s hotel room after the semifinal loss, calling her pathetic, an embarrassment and a “hopeless cow.” She then hid out on a couch in the Wimbledon players’ lounge until 11 p.m., when a cleaning woman found her.

To be fair, the Wimbledon players’ lounge is probably nicer than her hotel :v:.

Mischa Zeverev has been fined essentially his entire AO first round loss winnings ($45 000 is the fine, $47 000 was the winnings USD) due to a new rule against poor performances/retirements in the first round after a spate of tgem last year. You have the choice of opting out of the tournament and taking half the compete purse while a lower ranked player takes your spot. Four took the offer, Zeverev decided to try and play with some bad virus and retired in set 2.

Come for the stupid name, stay for the racist tweets! Washington Post headline:

Meet America’s new tennis sensation, Tennys Sandgren. He should never have tweeted.

Edit:

Nadal needs to stop going sleeveless. It does not help his case for being powered by sunshine, love, and the blood of bulls slaughtered in arenas all over beautiful Spain. Natural endurance, mates.
