    I don't know about that. His career earnings is $5,142,239 without taking into account expenses.

    How much money do you need to earn say 200k/year from it? He'd have other income streams as well, not just winnings.

    At least 100x the amount, clear and unfettered. You reinvest anything earned above the income to maintain levels etc.

    He has some mental issues and needs to get help.

    We'll, I don't know anything about how money and interest works! So, say enough to earn 200k now, with enough to grow with inflation.

    Well, I guess I don't have to concern myself with doing this any time soon

    Just saw the footage of the girl who did her knee. Don't know exactly what she did to it yet, but the reaction of her opponent when she came over to help tells me it wasn't pretty! Knees suck!

    It might make it harder for him to raise that 7 to 8mill so he can quit everything forever.

    I don't really understand the backlash against Tomic. It's every Australians god given right to half arse their way through a job they don't like just to pick up a paycheck.
    Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

    Nonsense. With 3 hours in my work week I'm still giving it 110%.

    McEnroe compared Novak to Tiger and could be spot on. Sprung with his sausage out and then after the backlash never wins another Slam.

    It was a bit of a dud final in the end, but it is great to see him lift the trophy for the eighth time. Other than Nadal, who could possibly beat him at the US Open?

    If Kyrgios was playing for Australia every week, his ranking would be a lot higher. He is able to find something extra when wearing green and gold.

    That could have a lot to do with Hewitt too. Whatever the mix is he can give 100% but definitely can't for himself. Handy player when he wants to be.

    Got this one wrong as the use of John and Jordan should of been the orher way around. Neither had much chance to beat Goffin and John's style simply improved his opponents ball striking to allow him to lift and take out Nick.
