Congratulates to Team Europe for winning another Laver Cup, a tremendous effort after three days of intense pressure from Team World. As several people said this weekend, tennis is the winner. It always will be. Thanks for having me, London. Until next time ... π
Delighted to be back at The O2 in London for the @LaverCup surrounded by some of my favourite people. I'm looking forward to the weekend's tennis - no doubt it will be another blockbuster battle between Team Europe and Team World! π
Congratulations, Alexander Zverev, on a commanding US Open victory. Two Grand Slam titles this year and three straight major finals - you've had an incredible season. Well done to Ben Shelton on a fantastic run to the final. Youβve made another big step forward, and thereβs plenty more to come. π
What an exceptional men's final at Wimbledon! Alexander Zverev put up a sterling fight with bold ball-striking, but Sinner rose to every challenge. Congratulations to Jannik on another Wimbledon title. π
Congratulations to Linda Noskova on winning her first Wimbledon title, one of tennis's greatest achievements. Congratulations to Karolina Muchova, too, on a wonderful tournament. Czech tennis is in terrific hands. Wishing both players every success ahead. π
Roland Garros finishes with a great final between two players who gave everything out there. Well done Alexander Zverev, a deserving champion. Flavio Cobolli showed real fight throughout the match and will surely have his moment soon enough. Good luck to both on the grass! π
Congratulations, Mirra Andreeva, on a memorable Roland Garros title. Every Grand Slam victory is special, but the first is something that stays with you forever. Well played, and best wishes for the journey ahead. Also well done to finalist Maja Chwalinska on a remarkable fortnight. π
Like so many Australians, I admired Neale Daniher enormously. What he did for the fight against MND, while facing it himself, was remarkable. He carried himself with great dignity and touched a lot of people along the way. My sincere condolences to Nealeβs family and loved ones. Vale Neale. π
I was very sad to hear of Mal Andersonβs passing. One of the true greats of our game, Mal was a fellow Queenslander and a lifelong friend. We travelled and played many tournaments together over the years, and I always admired his impeccable court manners and exquisite timing. A champion in every sense of the word. Vale, Mal. π
Congratulations @CraigTiley, youβve achieved so much in your 20 years Down Under at all levels of the sport. Itβs amazing to see the changes each year I visit the AO. Thank you for your friendship and support. Good luck for the next chapter. π

Sorry to hear of the passing of Dr John Fraser. He had an extraordinary career as a player, a tennis administrator, and a GP specialising in sports medicine. We reached the Wimbledon doubles semis together in 1962. Itβs been a long road, John, you made your mark alright. Go well, mate. π
Congratulations on your first AO crown and another major title, @carlosalcaraz. Your talent, courage and joy for the game light up our sport.
@DjokerNole - what you continue to bring to tennis is beyond belief. Thank you for another remarkable fortnight and for setting the standard we all admire. π
Good luck to @DjokerNole and @carlosalcaraz in tonightβs Australian Open menβs final. What Novak has achieved in tennis is beyond belief. Based on what weβve seen so far, itβs impossible to pick a winner. Both will fight with everything they have. Iβll be cheering on from afar. Take it away, champions. π
Congratulations to Elena Rybakina on her first Australian Open crown, a well-deserved achievement after a dominant summer. Bravo!
More AO trophies surely lie ahead for both you and Aryna Sabalenka. π
