  • Poor Novak?

    Don’t be apologists for poor Novak. You have to be vaccinated to play in Australia and he ran more than one scam in the lead up to the tournament.

Episode 1 - Interview with Kayla Cross
Q: What is the biggest difference you notice if you're getting up against someone who's top 150, top 100 versus maybe that 200 to 300 range?
I think it's honestly, most of it's like the consistency part. At the top level, if you slip up, you lose a lot of momentum and the top players will just grab it and run with it.
