    Sergiy Stakhovsky - who has just retired from professional tennis (and he was a well-know player, I can recall him beating Federer on one occasion) has signed up for Ukranian military to defend his country: https://news.sky.com/video/ukraine-i...erves-12551963
    Many other current and former sports people )(including chess players such as GM Timoshenko) are also ready to fight!

    ‘I won’t be able to play in the US’: Djokovic barred, withdraws from Indian Wells
    Health authorities have blocked Novak Djokovic from entering the United States, and the world No.2 has subsequently withdrawn from a pair of major American tournaments. ...
    So what's your excuse? For running like the devil's chasing you?

    See you in another life, brotha.

    It should also be noted: Just like with the Australian Open - Novak was put in the draw (and this time he knew - he is likely not to be allowed to enter the country)...and was not disclosing that he was an unlikely starter...

    Starting at this year's Roland-Garros, all four Grand Slams will use a 10 point tie-break to decide final sets when the score reaches six games all.

    Still, much faster than how they used to play till 16-14 or so . I still remember the Isner-Machut serving epic .

    Not sure why they say this is starting at Roland Garros. Aus Open already had it.
