there is absolutely no doubt now. navone is a choker and must always be opposed when a win is in sight
|
|
By:
yep 5 setters in this heat will be cooked the next round, look at the Kokk.
Kopriva had a 5 setter, then played doubles and lose today in a 3 setter, yet is near evens against Landaluce. Lay job. |
|
By:
1.05 Mirra out to 1.12 pre match
|
|
By:
2 out of his last 3 matches have been monster chokes
|
|
By:
if jodar manages to lose against duckworth on a clay court there needs to be an inquest. should not be possible
|
|
By:
Might be time to tune into Jodar.
|
|
By:
mensik collapses at the end. hope hes ok but just shows how **** navone played against an opponent that was clearly unwell in the heat
|
|
By:
Davidovic-Fokina another who had a R1 epic 5 setter, lost the next round against some mid twenties no mark Argie mug.
Gaston after ending Monfils's French open career in a 5 setter, is also playing doubles and mixed doubles as well as his singles match, free money lay, but no value. |
|
By:
Mensik might withdraw if those time outs were genuine
|
|
By:
yep could do a vacherot
|
|
By:
limp got worse every time he was serving for match.
 Looks past help post match, betfair ambulance required for a few imo |
|
By:
Could be two byes in a row for De Minaur who won his R1 match in comfortable straights.
When was the last time a player had two byes in a row at a slam, I can't remember it. |
|
By:
Walkovers I should say
|
|
By:
Royer takes a set, Novak can't keep dropping sets at his age and expect to make it deep into the second week
|
|
By:
losing a set to royer is embarrassing. even if it was a breaker
|
|
By:
royer is total cack
|
|
By:
novaks not winning this tournament anyway so its all irrelevant
|
|
By:
I had him reaching only 3 in my draw challenge thing, 5% had him as winner. He's not winning, no chance he could beat Sinner in the best of 5 on clay now if he ever got there.

Round 3 ffs

WOW Novak!

Some interesting quotes
Vacherot (Now withdrawn) "The heat is changing the tournament conditions significantly. We had never experienced such a hot Roland Garros in May. On Court 14, the conditions were particularly swift: the ball was moving very fast, bouncing very high, and moreover, the balls are quite hard. Clearly, there are players who benefit much more than others from these conditions," he pointed out. Medvedev "I know why I didn't play my best tennis, but I don't want to make excuses." I don’t want to make excuses, I know why I don’t usually play my best tennis at Roland Garros, but if I say it, it would be excuses. So, I keep it to myself Each tournament has a different court, different balls, and other conditions. Also, I can be different every day. I don’t like getting up early and I usually perform worse when I wake up at 6:15 in the morning, I like to sleep more. These are the little things; in tennis, you need to adapt and sometimes I’m not good enough at adapting, although other times I am. That’s basically all I can say”. “My tennis depends on a couple of things that I cannot control. If the ball is not running, I don’t have the power to make it run like Jannik. He doesn’t care. If the ball is not running, he hits with maximum power anyway. If it runs, he adjusts a bit and doesn’t need to hit as hard. I hit hard, and if the ball doesn’t run, well, it doesn’t. I know I am in good shape, and I can also play well at Roland Garros, I really can do it, just that it’s harder for me, and the early rounds are usually more difficult, but I will always come here. Maybe I should consider playing a tournament before, something I usually don't do before Grand Slams. When something doesn’t work, why not change it? That’s the only thing I will consider for next year”. I think the game has changed from five years ago, and I don’t feel that favors me; now it's very difficult for me to find rhythm. The first round is the toughest, and once I get past that, maybe I can do better”. ____ - Conclusion, don't back Medvedev in Round 1 of slams, don't back Medvedev when he has to play early in the day. |

flushed Carambas post away
He said "WOW NOVAK" |
|
By:
Sorana breaks straight away
|
|
By:
We are witnessing PEAK Sorana, highest ever career ranking, could make top 10 by end of season
|
|
By:
I know she's playing a GerMug but let's ride the crest of a wave whilst it lasts
|
|
By:
classic forum commentators curse, spoke too early, broke back straight away and then again, 3-1
|
|
By:
this following on from saying the Kokk was back after making it 1-1, then retires straight away
|
|
By:
One hold of serve in 5 games so far
|
|
By:
Fonseca already surpassed by other guys around his age.
|
|
By:
saying that Jodar won't be a big threat here on one leg.
|
|
By:
what a heartbreaker for Baptiste. Hurt her ankle at 4-*5, 40-40 and could not continued. Would have played Stardoubt next round.
|
|
By:
I did wonder before the match if Starodubtseva would be extra motivated today as a Ukrainian to beat a Russian, even if she's flying under a Kazak flag.
|
|
By:
Sori now 6-3, 4-0 up
Plays winner of Paolini/Sierra next Then Wang/Stardoubt in R4 should she get there. Decent chance at returning to the quarters here I must say. |
|
By:
Sori could not have asked for the draw to have opened up nicer.
|
|
By:
Please tap, Jasmine!
|
|
By:
for my wettquotens, I'm not sweating her as an opponent for Sori.
|
|
By:
Tears! Market usually go crazy for tears.
|
|
By:
If she breaks here that's 11 games won in a row, maybe Lys will retire to save face.
|
|
By:
Could be Sorana v Solana, Sorana beat her in straights with a second set bagel at the US open last year
