On the topic of the Australian Open (if we're allowed to talk about this yet :d), it looks like we will have the most Greeks ever at a Grand Slam tournament.

 

We had 5 Greeks across all categories at the 2021 US Open, I think that might have been the previous record until now. As long as nobody withdraws, we have 7 Greeks so far and possibly 8 (if Petros Tsitsipas gets another doubles wildcard :lol:).

 

Stefanos Tsitsipas in men's main draw and Theodoros Mitsakos in boys' qualifying, Maria Sakkari in women's main draw, Valentini Grammatikopoulou and Despina Papamichail in women's qualifying, Michaela Laki in girls' main draw, and Dimitra Pavlou in girls' qualifying.

 

At the 2014 US Open we had zero representatives in any category, so it's nice to see how much progress we have made since then. Also interesting to note that Pavlou is Sakkari's first cousin and this will be her first time at a Grand Slam.

Already two of them lost in qualifying :cry:

This tweet lol "Should reporters behave like this?"

 

What, just because they are reporters they are not allowed to have their own opinion during a casual conversation? :lol:

 

 

In their defence Novak Djokovic is undeniably an asshole.

Djokovic has been caught lying and it must be so bad that he had to come out in public and admit it. Of course you can believe in his "agent making a mistake" like travelling from Serbia to Spain is not considered a travel. Yeah, good luck finding idiots who believe in that.

Yup. Also the Australian Federal government won't give 2 hoots who you are. He won't be playing the Aussie Open anytime soon. Australian immigration is very harsh and for good reason.
