Tennis Talk 2022: Vol 18 (French Open)
|
By:
Early doors, but this looks an absolute massacre already.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
It must be pretty horrendous being a Chinese player on tour for that reason too.
|
|
By:
Rusedski ramping about Rafa's foot.
|
|
By:
Nadal isn't even playing well and is 4-1 up, tells you all you need to know.
|
|
By:
And the 1 game Ruud won probably one of the worst games Nadal played in his career.
|
|
By:
Naomi Broady saying Leo Borg is doing well.
|
|
By:
Eurosport keep talking like this is Rafa's last match and he's going to retire after this match. I don't buy it for a second.
|
|
By:
I also not sure where they get said information from. As even the reports he won't play Wimbledon have been denied by his PR manager.
|
|
By:
Just speculation imo based on his interviews.
|
|
By:
We've seen him talk like this before though.
|
|
By:
Speaking of Wimbledon, how is Alcaraz shorter odds than Nadal on the exchange?
 |
|
By:
Not likely Nadal will turn up would be my guess.
|
|
By:
this Norwegian muppet gotta be one of the worst ever players to make a Slam final
would've gotten bagelled by Swiantek |
|
By:
It probably is hurt by multiple articles saying Nadal won't play, which probably is very possible. Also all commentary talks like he won't play too.
|
|
By:
well that would make some sense on an anti-post market but not here where bets are voided if player doesn't start.
|
|
By:
Albeit he's bound to be asked in press in a few hours.
|
|
By:
It stops people putting money on though which affects the price.
|
|
By:
6-0,6-0,6-0 couldn't have been more one-sided
could've won had he been limbless ain't modern medicine wonderful 14 at RG..phenomenal,unthinkable really |
|
By:
he will be back next year. needs to play wimbledon and USO this year. forget the other events.
calander slam is on. federer never won the first two........... |
|
By:
Going to be opportunities given both Wimbledon and USO will have weakened draws.
|
|
By:
Zverev likely out of both (torn ankle ligaments, so defo Wimbledon for sure)
Medvedev out of Wimbledon Djokovic out of USO as it stands (not surely how likely this is to change, but seems no real movement on that front) |
|
By:
Indeed won't be too long until AO and the Djokovic Australia circus, I assume he still can't get in there either.
|

Sabine Lisicki @sabinelisicki
·2m WOW…simply incredible what we get to witness!!! 14th Title at @rolandgarros for @RafaelNadal just another Rafa fangurl |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Remember the days finals weren't predictable low odds trains.
|
|
By:
Nadal has been lucky to get a freebie at the AO sadly
Can seem him snagging one more this season which finishes it off he’ll not be caught then Djock wont even be playing USO so I think its over already  |
|
By:
N88 weve not had that for years really
When Federer arrived all that went out the window |
|
By:
No retirement announcement. Not even a Pennetta style "I will retire at the end of the year".
|
|
By:
Defo not the words of a man playing his final match anyway from Rafa.
|
|
By:
i thought new york had dropped the sports vaccine requirement, allowing novak to play USO
rafa has to keep going as zverev will be out for season......medvedev not playing wimbledon.......novak will never play the aus open again as i cant see aus gov dropping vaccine requirement......... novak, rafa, carlos.......the rest are nowhere.........since medvedev has lost interest and tsitispas, well dear or dear........ |

·6m Nadal (Eurosport): "We played with no feeling on the foot. We played with an injection on the nerve...so the foot was asleep, so that's why I was able to play." |

Carole Bouchard @carole_bouchard
·15m Nadal on French TV said that his worst moment of the tournament was after the match against Moutet as he just couldn't walk anymore. Said he had to have his foot anesthetized to be able to keep going, thanked the doc form the Spanish federation. Think of your health, Rafa! |

·3h Nadal says he will not take the injection he had for #RolandGarros at Wimbledon. He will only play Wimbledon if the other treatment he is due to have next week, works. |

By:
So no Rafa at Wimbledon then.
|
|
By:
I see Gauff lost the doubles final too.
