Thye even put up a list of his past wins here including one for 2020.
That is fine but that year he was deported before the tournament even went ahead as he refused to be vaccinated.
But the media will continue to say his 11th is coming up.
The same media say Federer never won a French open, not true he did the one year Raffa was not playing, had a foot op.
Sad thing is it becomes ingrained in the minds of the people and nothing will change their thinking.
And before face book and the media of today, Gossip Tradition and culture. Search for the truth and the truth sets us free from error and outright lies. Good day. R

We have bloody tennis from 10AM to 10 PM on our TV, how in the hell can someone sit there and swivel their heads back and fore for 12 bloody hours. At sea they would have been better than Radar.
