Many congratulations yorkshiredragon, it is a tough competition and even harder to be consistent all year long. Well deserved.

[Surprised]

Very impressive

[yorkshiredragon]

Shame neither of us could win the champions race, but the Ukrainian warrior was spot on in the French open

[yorkshiredragon]

Thanks for the cup

[SamD]

Thanks, yorkshiredragon. Glad to see Fiso Mug arrived safely.

Tennis Grand Slam game is set to return at Melbourne in mid-January 2021.

Some sad news about a fellow-Fison, in case you haven't seen it on other sports threads:
David Hyde (Boddington) died on Monday, 30 November.

Memorial thread, including further details, is at viewtopic.php?f=327&t=133114&p=3482404#p3482404
