Congratulations Team Europe, the Laver Cup champions once again. It was a memorable one, especially knowing this was the last time for Borg and McEnroe. I'll cherish these memories forever, thank you Berlin. 🚀

Another tough one. Retirement is inevitable but I’m going to miss watching this bloke fighting for every point like no other. A truly remarkable human, best wishes Rafa Nadal 🚀

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my dear mate and fellow lefty, Neale Fraser. He was a true gem in a golden era of Australian tennis legends - an incredible World No.1, a Grand Slam champion, and a Davis Cup icon. Neale bested me in 2 major finals, pushing me to

What an incredible year of tennis it has been, and not long now until the new season kicks off again in Australia. Unfortunately, I won’t be there for the first Grand Slam of the year. While disappointed to miss #AO25 and interact with tennis fans in Melbourne, I will be watching

The first week of #AO25 has been truly exciting! I've missed not being in Melbourne and meeting fans with Dunlop in Garden Square on the middle Saturday. I encourage everyone to get out and see the world's best battle for glory. #AODunlop #TeamDunlop #LoveTheGame

As I wrote in my book on the Golden Era of Aussie tennis, Fred Stolle was too nice a guy to hold a grudge. He won many Grand Slams and was in the finals of many more. It took the best to beat the best. We never tired of reliving the past as we travelled the world looking into the

Still taking in that incredible men’s final at Roland Garros. So happy for Carlos Alcaraz - five Grand Slams at just 22! My heart goes out to Jannik Sinner, who showed real class in defeat. What a match, thank you both. Tennis is in great hands.🚀
