One of the better women’s matches I’ve watched I reckon.
Ostapenko is fkn impressive, she caught me eye at the Aus open against pliskova and she’s kicking on.
Cmon!!!
A set down
3-0 and 40-30 down second set and she kicks into gear.
4-6, 6-4, 6-3

Super impressive win. Gee she’s so likable. I look forward to watching her for years to come.
A new top player for the womens, great to see.
Will be interesting to see how far Ostapenko goes in the future, especially in the next 6 months - It was a completely unexpected victory - Think Wawrinka can take a set off Rafa in the men’s final.
Rafa absolutely embarassed Stan, was great to see. 10th French Open title and 3rd time he has won it without dropping a set

Rafa was born for clay - Roger knew what he was doing when he skipped the French Open.

GOAT - Top 5?

- Laver
Sampras would be above joker wouldn’t he?

I love Novak but Sampras is above him until Nole can finish his career strongly. He’s had a poor last year.

Yep, fair call(s). Sampras above Djoker…
Right-ho, Andrew Maher!
AT means all time, not the last ten years.
Chucking Laver in as an afterthought doesn’t count.

Laver isn’t even the best tennis player australia has produced.
Borg would, in my opinion, be the only other arguable entrant into that 5. But who do you drop out? Djoker? Who else could you include? Tilden? Emerson?
I can understand having Laver higher than “5” but I would argue the names are accurate…
Lay off the Serb. He’s having personal problems.
Borg was a great player but loses cred for not playing the AO because it was 1) too far and 2) too hot.

Detractors of players from previous generations often cite the lack of world-wide player participation as seen today as reason to qualify them in relation to the modern day counterparts but L Laver was such a good all-round player that he’d be awesome in any era. No doubt.
Any relation to R?
Uncle. He was way better than R
