2017 Roland Garros - 22nd of May to 11th of July

[BobbyMorri]

Last year there weren't any. I was there and another from big footy actually, but don't remember seeing the fanatics. I think I was the only Aussie in the crowd during Sam's semi final with Muguruza.

i actually sat next to a girl from Canberra when i was in Paris. and there was a bloke in a swans hat hanging near the steps. got talking to a couple of poms around as well.

 

[Wolfs]

Lol Simon won the first set 6-1 but ends up losing the match.....

I love Simon but I called this 'upset' before Day 1 lol. Dude just sucks on clay

If I had money to burn I would love to spend a year travelling the world going to all the major tennis tournaments plus a bit of cricket and a few other things.

the tour would be a great way to see the world.

Last year was about as good as it got for me. But if I could go to events in a year, it would be all the slams, masters in IW, Monte Carlo, Rome, Barcelona 500, Montreal and the year end champs.

 

[Wolfs]

Was that Krychowiak earlier? or was I hearing things?

Strange cat Paire. Earlier in this set it looked like he was celebrating/fist pumping to the crowd to fire up. He had just beaten Nadal in game when all the points were nearly unforced errors off Nadal's racquet. Had nothing much to do with Paire playing decent shots.
Credit to the Frenchman though he has played well this set and may well push Nadal to a TB.

Has the Sousa situation settle down now and play as normal?

And he's down 3 BP

 

[Wolfs]

lol wtf is happening? Nadal is pissed.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

nadal gets sooooooo much spin on the ball would be a nightmare having to return

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

why does nadal pick his arse and sniff it after every point

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Love how Dasha is firing herself up in French, when in Rome!

he took the 3rd set. havent heard anything from twitter regarding the match outside that.

Dasha in trouble... 2 points away from losing it.

EDIT: now down a MP

 

[BobbyMorri]

Mertens is a good player nowadays. She has really stepped up since Hobart. beaten some very good players in Fed Cup last month and nearly won a 2nd title

Stosur might stay number 1 Aussie player after all.

 

[Wolfs]

Welp Gavrilova

 

[Wolfs]

I don't know what's more concerning. That I have the Caillou theme song in my head or that Ferrer...yeah I got nothing. * Caillou. That kid is the worst.

 

[Wolfs]

I forgot Errani was a qualifier. Also Kiki Mladenovic on struggle street

 

[Wolfs]

Donald Young took a set off Ferrer. I can sleep happy.

 

[juice t]

That's odd. She should be Australian per ITF stuff. Weird.

I got for first round upsets

- Tiafoe over Fognini
- Garcia Lopez over Muller
- Basilashvili over Simon
- Napolitano over Zverev
- Kovinic over Konjuh
- Haddad Maia over Vesnina
- Wickmayer over Kasatkina

Coming through on the men's side Wolfs

 

[matt_897]

Pretty sure no aussies are going to make round 2 the way we are going

Young taking a set off Ferrer on clay. Hell might of frozen over (and yes I know how poor Ferrer has been this year)

 

[matt_897]

Seriously Sam, I have a double handed forehand, anyone who knows to hit heavy topspin to kick up high and I'm screwed, same for Kucova, not that hard.

 

[Kaan]

Nick shouldn't be losing to someone like Kohlschreiber.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Shocking loss by Dasha but she's had a good clay season these losses happen

 

[matt_897]

Nick shouldn't be losing to someone like Kohlschreiber.

Nick is capable of anything, good or bad.

But Stosur finished off the 2nd set well, 6-1. Very scrappy but kicked on at the end.

 

[Kaan]

Nick is capable of anything, good or bad.

Nick is actually very consistent in the slams, very rarely loses to someone he should be beating.

Seppi @ AO is the only time I can remember it happening, and he's improved a lot since then.
