(1,292 posts)and I dont find this surprising at all.
IMO, I doubt there will be any tennis until next year.
Fortunately, I have TC,(and TC Plus and ESPN+ ) so Ive been watching Miami Open 2019. I never can remember who won a match - except for semis and final, so its like watching or the first time.

Well, I imagine he lives in the NYC area, but damn.
I hadnt heard that yet. If it had to be a McEnroe, I wouldnt have picked him, if you know what I mean.

The tennis commentator and former French Open doubles champion Patrick McEnroe has confirmed he has tested positive for Covid-19.
The 53-year-old announced the news in a video posted on his Twitter account. Weve been on full quarantine, our entire house now, for well over two weeks, he said. I encourage everyone to do the same. Lets get this thing. Lets nail this thing. Im an example of someone who has been able to fight through it. Im doing absolutely fine. Thoughts and prayers to people who are struggling with this.

She must be shaking her head somewhere. She really wouldnt have believed this.

He should study the Aborigines and learn how they were treated. It might calm him down.
