His backhand comments made me think of Rusedski, fastest serve in the game at the time, doped up on BALCO products but his backhand was probably the ugliest shot by a top 50 player in the open era.

Perhaps its me, but Murray looks less bulky this year.
Still think Djokovic and Nadal will share the rest of the slams this year.

Most likely, however the rest of the top 10 seem to consistently inconsistent and there is very little in ranking points between them all.

So Murray and Lendl have split. Looks likely that Lendl didn't like Murray's decision to stop doping and has decided it's not worth the bother of coaching a clean athlete. Seems almost certain now that Murray will have retired by the end of the year, no doubt because of his supposed back injury.

You think? I think he has probably just lost motivation since winning Wimby.

One to watch in the future will be Simona Halep. She's gone from mid 50's to top 5 in one year and wearing a much more striated well defined musculature than before. She's 22 years old and though previously known more for having breast reduction surgery, you wonder if a little testosterone might not be used to maintain a reduced size?? Just speculating here, I have no evidence to support anything.

so if some girl gets up on ladder (not even top 3 or winning multiple grand tournaments) and has some muscle after hitting a ball 100000000000 times he might take testosterone. To keep her boobs from growing back up ?

No, moving up 50 spots in a year at that level and that age is not common place along with the anatomical changes. Just suspicious, not declarative like Sosur.

This girl won RG juniors with 15-20kg's on her chest. I expect her to be no1 in the next 1-2 years.

To be honest she actually looks like to have slimmed down in the muscle department, not grown.

As I remember it she was early on spotted as talented, but her breasts were literally in the way of succes. Then after a surgery and learning to a new playstyle without the added weight she performs better, is this really so hard to believe?

lol.
note that serena has been pretty successful with a pair of not particularly small breasts, though admittedly more proportional to the rest of her body than is the case with Halep.

That first pic of halep (on clay) is when she won the junior french open at age 16/17 in 2008. then surgery and it has taken her this long to recover from it physically & mentally. She is not particularly powerful or fit, it is all craft with her. Cibulkova, who is shorter and lighter but far more powerful would be more suspect. But I wouldn't suspect her either, she has always been like that.
