It was a great gesture and the players (especially Nick) deserve a lot of credit for shaming TA to hold this exho.

I also wish they would change the format of these things. It’s basically what they do every Authur Ashe Kids Day at USO.

And if TA can use Laver for this they could have used it for some of the qualies during the smoke storm (and Court and Melbourne Arenas) but instead the top players got to use them for practice.
