Potentially playing Coco Gauff in the Fourth Round. Looks like she could beat anyone at present.

Heather Watson. What was all the fuss about ? She never has been much cop and she only got as far as she did, because she hadn't played anybody and bloody good. Her all round play, average at best and as for her powder puff serve, well enough said and to for second serve well its a dolly drop

Guessing she would still destroy you in a match with one hand tied behind her back.

She has had a great tournament. Try giving her some credit instead of needlessly slagging her off.

Bet you do the same to Norrie as soon as he loses.

Norrie eats yanks for breakfast. Pity Goffin's from Belgium.

She really would be put under the spotlight and serious questions would be asked of her if she failed to beat a fat old man in his 70's but old as I am, I reckon even at my age, I reckon even I could smash her second serve past her

You’re a right misogynistic old sod aren’t you. First it’s sexual debasing another British female tennis player and then slag off Watson who’s been a credited to herself and the country on court and then claiming you’d be able to smash her second serve, no doubt cause she’s a woman.

Stick to slagging off Moyes on the transfer thread and repeatedly crying over the lack of signings.

What you talking about ? I'm.just pointing out, she's not a particularly good tennis player and never has been. It's not misogyny, it's just pure fact. No sooner than she met somebody, a little bit good, she went out, as she was always going to do. That is the sole point of my post. Nothing more, nothing less, and there is no reason to.launvhbz personal attack on me with rubbish statements like ' I bet she would beat you .Of course she would beat me

A) I'm not a tennis player
B) She is over half my age
C) She is not 18 stone

Oh stop playing the victim and own the b*llocks you keep coming out with, and own it when people pull you up. If you're incapable of doing that, then just f*** off. We've had enough of you.

Its only 'b*llocks' in your opinion could quite easily say you talk absolute **** but you'll probably ban them.

Anyway, this Kyrgios bloke. Seems to bother a lot of people. I rather like him, if I'm honest, though I think that may be because he upsets the authorities, journalists & crowd so much.

In and around the top 100 in the world when fit with a highest ranking of 30 odd and £4 million in prize money. Yeh, not a very good tennis player.

I'm with DL and others about the bolleux you spout.

87 million people regularly playing tennis on Earth
3900 tennis professionals.
1500 female tennis professionals.

(Link for stats)

Heather Watson has been a top 50 ranked player and the British no.1.

So no, it's not "pure fact" that she's "not a particularly good tennis player". It's "pure fact" that, at her peak, she was in the top 4% of female professional players on the planet.

And, given your disgusting comments above (thankfully moderated now), I'd say that an accusation of misogyny levelled at you is more than reasonable.

You're frequently given a lot more rope here than many others on the grounds that you're an old man. I don't understand that whatsoever. There are lots of old men on this site, the vast majority of whom aren't as routinely distasteful as you.

I'm addressing you far more politely than you deserve. I'm not the one making ridiculous statements about one tennis player and sleazy comments about another. You are.
