AO 2021 - LP - 02-08-2021
While I'm not a big fan of tennis, as a sports fan I'm very interested to see what happens at the AO given the chaos COVID-19 has introduced to preparations.
As much as there are complaints, we might actually find new interest if some rank outsiders can get a run on.
Is it primed for some resilient kids to sweep away the old pros?

I hope it flops big time. Seems it will.

Lot's of excuses being made by seeds for early exists.
Maybe losing their regular luxuries has made them a bit soft!
I can't say I didn't see this coming, high level professional sport is full of apologists that spend all their days making life easy for the top talent. Take all that away and the playing field suddenly levels.

Exception not rule.
Most tours don't pay this well, and just getting here to this level is not for someone without some investment.
