Was it 900k guaranteed for Fery now?
3.6mill£ to the winner. Similar to a golf major.
His dad is worth 360mill$ from trading.
Always helps.

I don’t think he should fear anyone.
Has the game & temperament to win it.
I think Zverev has been a bit of an underachiever before this years French Open win so maybe the English can beat the Germans in a semi final for once.

The old guard still not ready to move over for the new kids on the block.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is without doubt a future grand slam winner but experience showed
as he falls in 5 sets to Novak Djokovic.

Not your fault, Musicman

It's a site problem, it's happened to me several times, I've noticed other members experiencing the same dilemma with dupicated posts.

I watched the last set Swannie which was the first I’ve watched this year, blew him away.

It was Zerev's French open to lose I think with Alcaraz out injured and Sinner retiring feeling unwell. I said to Mr Swan at the time that he would never get a better chance of a slam win.
England v Germany come on Arthur :)

The whole match was awesome Cussie. I watched Arthur's first few matches out on court 18!! As he kept winning the interest in him started to unfold. It was his first ever time on centre court on Monday beating Dimitrov....didn't he do rather well :)

Also, the previous two matches Arthur was 2 sets to 1 down, coming back to win both. Amazing watching him progress.

The pressure from the media will ramp up now Swannie so I hope he can cope with that side but he looked the real deal in that last set.
