The Tennis Thread

Can we all just agree that the Barcelona Open has the greatest trophy ceremony in all sports (rivaled only, perhaps, by the medals ceremonies at the Olympic games).

In any case, nice to see Casper Ruud wining his first non 250 tournament. I've been saying to my dad all year long how much better he's playing this year, and wouldn't be too surprised to see him wining RG in a few weeks.

Murray & Agassi would argue the Madrid Masters

Djokovic pulls out of Madrid. I guess he knows what he's doing - I haven't seen any talk of injury - but is he going to be a bit underbaked going to RG?

Guess his logic is that he can use the early rounds to get up to speed. Always a tricky tactic at the French as there are so many of the 50-100 ranked players who are Spanish / Italian journeymen who play on clay all year round
