Lay Nadal the favourite 2.3

Baring in mind this is conditions rarely seen before in a slam, in this cold, damp, sunless fortnight you’ll never be able to lay Nadal outright with more confidence, he should still be getting through the first 5 mugs but think Thiem should have his number this time, if not definitely Novak. Thiem’s been getting closer and RF’s topspin far less effective with the lower bounce (and ball change from babolat to Wilson/heavier balls + conditions/slower court). Tournaments are never played outdoors in Europe this time of year, temperatures/rainfall/wind usually similar in Paris in May/September however its darker and colder earlier with the forecast looking bleak in Paris next 10 days plus.

Think Novak will beat Thiem in the final.
Rybagoat v Soranagoat R1 , changing of the goatguard
Think Halep-Azarenka and Ostapenko-Mugu in the semi's + guten-Rublev / Thiem-Nadal.
