Thanks so much for the 'prop' and the good comments. It's been fun to see the passion Djokovic and Nadal fans bring to their rivalry, so hope it is another classic. Will also be interesting to see if Rafa can keep his amazing two weeks of straight sets tennis going, let alone the past eight years. Phenomenal.

Thanks a lot for the comment and the like on my Rafa article!

Just a quick thank you for liking the Nadal piece. Appreciated!

Frazer's Cherry man Michel Mulder seems to have been banned.
Do you think he was Frazer? He appeared immediately after Frazer disappeared, has been always praising Daniel Frazer and while initially his english was broken, it started improving by leaps and bounds. And suddenly, without any provocation, he started attacking me on this thread.

Hey MeoCao,

I've just posted a story about the global evolution of tennis and the increasing popularity of the sport. I've put a lot of time and effort into it, and I'd be really grateful to get any feedback you have.

If you get a chance to check it out, that would be great.

How have you been?
Here is one unorthodox piece. Grand Slam Finals without Federer and Nadal.
