Cheering for Murray to win the French Open. He is looking good so far.

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, four Slams in a row. Amazing achivement. A bit boring match today though. Murray shows up for the fight and disappeared after first set.

Love Novak and glad he won. His personality is so infectious, a bit like Klopp's.

Well done Novak.

Novak is a beast.

Nice tweet from Judy Murray. She and Djoko's mother after yesterday's final:

Novak is GOAT.

Rafa is still my main man but Novak is a freak.

I'm Novak fan but still think he must win couple Slams more to be considered as a GOAT. If he win CYGS this year he will tie Sampras and Nadal in a Slams number. In that case he would be clearly second in GOAT consideration. He has good chance to achieve 14 Slams even if he doesn't complete CYGS this year. But 17 Slams tally would be huge ask despite the fact he is practically untouchable at the moment.

He'll win Wimbledon and probably an even money fav for the US. Then he comes to Australia with his name on the trophy already.

One niggle, "one in a lifetime" performance from his opponent (aka Wawrinka last year), one day off, one wrong step and he is out of the tournament. Winning so much Slams in a row is very rear achievement regardless of quality of the field at the moment.

Hope you're right though.

Very disappointing news for tennis and Sharapova herself. I suspect she'll have it reduced on appeal. Deserved? Perhaps. A scapegoat to cover for the otherwise widespread abuse that goes unpunished and unchecked particularly in the mens game? Possibly.

She's a Russian, of course they cheat, its in their dna, they can't help themselves.

One of my favourite sports people in the world. Not many women in tennis devote their life to it and play as hard as she does. Pure winner when she could kick it in and live the easy life instead. I feel like if many other women tennis players worked as hard as she did they'd be much better than they are.

Gutted for her and the game.

Nadal still nursing left wrist injury, pulls out of Wimbledon.

He announced on facebook: "I'm sad to announce that after talking to my doctors, and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won't be able to play at Wimbledon this year. As you can imagine, it's a very tough decision, but the injury I suffered at Roland Garros needs time to heal."

Gutted for the lad, it seems injuries ruined his chance to win a few slams more.

Wimbledon starts tomorrow. Gentlemen's draw:

I'm curious if Lendl can impact Murray's performance in early days of his second tenure. I think Djokovic will win it if he can maintain recent performances.

Possible semifinals: Djokovic vs Federer, Murray vs Wawrinka.

No Nadal, unless I missed his name there.

No surprise if not.

He pulls out of tournament due to left wrist injury.

Murray looked awesome against Lu just now. Through in straight sets: 6-3, 6-2, 6-1!

Djokovic two sets down against Querrey but the rain helping him out there! No way will he play that badly tomorrow.

Great to see Del Potro back at a Grand Slam as well - great performance to beat Wawrinka.

Watching this Querry v Djokovic match. Djokovic took the third set but it's been a really poor match from both of them so far this afternoon. Querry needs far more first serves in because if he does then Djokovic, who is just not on form, could lose this. Will be a badly missed opportunity if Novak gets out of this match with victory.

Djokovic out. Surprised to say the least. Incredible effort from Querrey.
