This thread will cover the upcoming two weeks.
ATP has Estoril and Munich this week, then will start Madrid later this week.
For the ladies, WTA Madrid is an almost two week event.
Bianca Andreescu will be there. Serena Williams won't (Tiriac said mean things about her and also sold the event), but other than most of the top players will be there, yes even Naomi Osaka!
Blue clay will not return this year either :(

Paula was super unlucky with the draw. I am concerned about her fitness though. Been playing so much and has had treatment for something in every tournament I've seen her lately. Could do with an early flop in Rome and a nice rest before Paris imo.

market reacting big for someone who gave a thumbs up after the fall.
Daniela suggesting Rafa should start hitting lots of dropshots now.
Does Daniela also speak Spanish and told you what the players and umpire are saying?

I never knew Anett had made her butt vase herself. Always thought it was a designer piece she had paid a premium for.

I had never heard of a buttvase before I saw Anett's pic.

classic Jagr.
Remember when some young Czech girl tried to blackmail him by threatening to send scandalous pictures of the two to the media and he said "Go ahead, I don't care ..."?

no I don't actively follow players' insta, so unless someone else mentions it on twitter and I see it, I won't know.
great graphics on Rublev.

Lol at Raducanu's draw. Leylah at least has a chip and a chair. I really want to see her getting another crack at Badosa.
Kostyuk losing to someone who was bageled by Katie Swan on clay in her most recent event.
Kostyuk not anymore losing to someone who was bageled by Katie Swan on clay in her most recent event. Even had to see off her opponent serving for the set twice and save about 3 set points.
is this mug Federica going to sulk retire in front of her home fans?
Interesting match this. Still feel like Novak isn't trying his best.
will actually be interesting if this goes 3 given Novak's collapes in third sets in MC and Belgrade.
lol at commentators:
"That is very good sportsmanship from Alcaraz (after he conceded the point)"
"Federer will still win the Stefan Edberg award this year even if he doesn't play a match, don't kid yourselves"

are you saying Daniela has a bad eye for tennis then?
what a shame this is clashing with Schunk vs Niemeier, eh?
See I was going to share a genuinely amazing thing I found out this week about Whitney and the girl who has beef with Badosa.
But as Edy's been shading Daniela again I won't bother. (throws sulk retirement)

Djokovic looked unamused that the umpire made that bit of cleanup into a medical timeout.

Worst play in tennis unless he had gone over his ankle a moment ago.
I think those are the rules and not the umpire's call.
But I was not amused either as one of my books suspended betting for a while over it.
Whether you have to take a MTO or not entirely depends on how long the treatment takes. I didn't pay attention on whether it was done quickly enough to complete treatment during the changeover. If it was, there was no need to announce/take a MTO.
iirc my example was when the doctor came out and gave a player a pill. That was super quick but still counted as an MTO.
Drop shotting Djokovic has to be the dumbest shot in tennis.
Gilles Simon today announced that he will retire later this season.
Wrote "end of the year" and he always loved himself some indoor tennis in France, so Paris Bercy it surely is for his swan song.
Who are the biggest chauvinists on the ATP tour now that both Stak has retired and Gilles will later this year?
time to upgrade him from next Rafa to new Rafa.
New Rafa heavily outwinnered old Rafa and old Djokovic. Sounds more like new Federer to me.

Just read that Irina Bara would have likely made the top100 for the first time had she won against Talaba/Lee two days ago. Heartbreaking that she lost that match from a set up even.
In other heartbreaking news: Maja Skywalker beat Darth Eko in the final of the W60 Prague (no news on whether Jagr was there)

how beautiful is Anett?!
is Halep going to be unstoppable under the tutelage of The Mastermind?
Patrick the most overrated coach in tennis. I could have coached Serena to one more Slam than he did if I coached her in that time frame.
Is this how boring tennis will be in the Carlos era?
so what would you have done differently if you coached Silly Serena during the same period The Mastermind coached her?

I didn't. I hated the Barty era
not done coaching from the stands in that Naomi final which caused her to meltdown.
I thought you liked her for betting purposes but had a disdain for her cringe interviews with Casey.
Alcaraz withdrew from Rome. Part time player already just like Iga.
Iga is not a part-timer. Too early to call Carlos a part-timer, he did have an injury after all.
