His sporting achievements have been immense but that doesn't mean he should have special disposition re covid rules. The Aussies seem to have handled it badly but likewise seemingly so has he. Re the cheating idea of course he has won on his ability but he has also been at least accused of oneupmanship in the past by feigning injuries on court when he's been in trouble. Fair or not it was an impression we have had in our household too.

Immense game today though. Nadal came back from two sets down to win a thriller. The Spaniard will always be a big threat in his favourite French Open. That could potentially leave Novak needing three more wins to break the record. It is his own fault IMHO that he wasn't there to challenge in Melbourne.
